LeafSide 1-Week Meal Plan
Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl
Rich, savory tomato sauce infuses hearty beans and healthy whole grains with authentic Tex-Mex flavor for a combination that can’t be beat! 🥳 🌶️ Zesty and smoky with a hint of spice, this filling bowl has everything you love about chili—plus a few delightful surprises. 🔥😍 Mellow sweet potato and fruity mango join robust garlic, green onions, and cumin to create a mouth-watering complex flavor you’ll want to enjoy again and again. 🤤🤩
- Looking for a filling meal to help you beat the afternoon slump?😴 This is it! Complex carbs and 25 grams of plant protein work together to stabilize blood sugar and give you sustained energy. ⚡🤩 By the time you scoop up that last drop of sauce, you’re almost halfway to your basic protein requirements for the day. 💪🏻
- Chowing down on the robust, creamy black beans this chili could help you enjoy better health as you age. 🎉 As part of the legume family, black beans boost a unique metabolic regulator called FGF21 that’s associated with longevity. 👴🏻👵🏻 (This could be the secret to why there are so many centenarians in the bean-loving Blue Zones…😎)
- This mouth-watering bowl boasts a trio of whole grains—bulgur, oats, and corn grits—for an authentic chili texture without the meat. 🍲🤤 It’s a fantastic swap with big benefits for your microbiome: 23 grams of prebiotic fiber puts you three-quarters of the way toward meeting the RDA in just one meal! 👍🏻
- Bright and tender bits of kale mingle with vibrant tomatoes in a rich sauce that supports your immune system.🤒💪🏻 And it’s not just because they’re high in vitamin C: kale may actually help your white blood cells make antibodies to fight off disease! Combined with anti-inflammatory antioxidants like quercetin and lycopene, this enticing veggie duo is a delicious way to stay well all year.🥬🍅
- Nutty, crunchy pepitas (pumpkin seeds) round out the dish with a tasty texture and powerful health benefits. 🦸♂️🥜 Packed with lignans, these super seeds can fight inflammation; protect against infections; and lower the risk of cancers of the breast, prostate, and colon. 🔽👍🏻
Enjoy this sensational Southwestern meal on its own or topped with nutritional yeast and avocado for a classic chili combo. 🥑😋 Feeling adventurous? Pile some saucy spoonfuls into a whole-grain tortilla, and wrap it up into a tasty, filling burrito that’s perfect with a side of guac! 🌯

LeafSide is marvellous! I try to follow Greger's Daily Dozen, and this makes it much easier. Healthy, plant-based, convenient, inexpensive, and no wasting of food, they transport well, simple to make. The staff at LeafSide is wonderful as well. My favorites are the 🫐🍓 Berry Medley Sweet-Bowl and Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl. Yummmm!

My husband and I are now each eating two of these a day, every day. We use some as parts of recipes and others with additional non-starchy veggies on the side. We also have a large salad and usually split a baked sweet potato too. LeafSide meals turned our health around. We have great blood work now and in normal weight range for the first time in decades. We want to travel after the pandemic is over and will want to take these with us.
On days that we eat the Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl, I use it as part of a large taco bowl. The calories would be too much in one sitting if I didn’t half it. We have oil free corn tortillas cut in wedges and baked with that and a bit of fresh avocado along with red onions, tomatoes, shredded red cabbage and salsa. Love the LeafSide Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl!

Received my first order today and tried the Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl. Delicious! 😋
Just tried one of the smoothies, and they're so freaking delicious!! I'm glad I am now a subscriber.
These meals are very filling!! I thought at first 20 meals won't last a month. I can only eat half at a time and eat the other half later, except for the smoothies. I can see how easily this can totally change the way I eat and become a lifestyle change. I am so happy I found the LeafSide meals to show me how to get started or simply stay on my subscription to grab and go. I'm still amazed at just how easy and delicious these are. Truly a game-changer!! From a beef eater here in Kansas City...

My sweetie, a 100% disabled Vietnam veteran, has decided he wants to try the LeafSide goodies, too, so I was going to make another order anyway. I ran out of my last order & I have missed the meals tremendously! For the first time in years, I was feeling so good. I had forgotten how good a plant-based diet makes one feel, but it didn't take long to remember, with your wonderful products. My neighbor, Debbie, has ordered boxes as well & she can hardly wait for her box to come. They don't intend to use it exclusively like I do, only for may be one meal a day, so they will not realize all the benefits. With time, she might change her mind. Especially when she sees the difference in me!
I am completely out of product & am really sad, so please send my next order as soon as possible! I just want the LeafSide team to know... Finding you has been the best thing to happen to me in 10 years! I will be your customer as long as possible.
Jim (my sweetie) has multiple health issues from the Vietnam war - Parkinson's & Diabetes mainly & he is looking forward to giving the plant-based way of life a chance.
I am just so thrilled with your product! I did not find anything I did not like but I changed my order to include more Smoothies. Everything is top-notch, yummy good!
Your products are the best there is. I know it, you know it & thousands of others know it or will! Thank you from my heart for saving my life!
I absolutely love this food. It is so good & keeps me so full. Everything I have tried so far is excellent. I had the Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl last night & think it is my favorite, but then again, everything tastes like a favorite. I would not change a thing! It is so exciting to me to be able to finally eat a plant-based diet after so many years of not being able to, mostly because I live an hour away from the nearest town & constantly buying, washing, chopping, etc. was hard. I threw away a lot of veggies that spoiled before I could get them prepared, but now... Wow! All I have to do is add water! Thank you, THANK YOU!!
I love everything!

I am enjoying the LeafSide meals. I have found them to be very tasty and rich. I am enjoying them best by adding to stretch them to make multiple servings. I add simple and easy ingredients, so the cost only goes up a dollar or two, and then the meal price is half the prive per serving, which is very reasonable. I add oatmeal to the Sweet-Bowls and potato, rice, pasta, beans, or frozen veggies to the Soups and Savory-Bowls. The Creamy Forest Mushroom Savory-Bowl is amazing on mashed or steamed potatoes. The Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl, with added rice and beans, made awesome wraps.
The LeafSide meals give me tasty options that include healthy ingredients I would not usually have. I can not keep all the fancy ingredients on hand, do not enjoy lengthy meal preps, and even when halved, the recipes were too much for one person. I often used to resort to processed vegan and plant-based meats, which I really did not enjoy. I am looking forward to next month's new meals!

Received our box today and tried the BTT and Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl for lunch. Delicious! 😍
Thrilled to have these for travel and when I don’t feel like cooking or have any leftovers to take for lunch!

Savory-Bowls and Soups have been my favorite so far. The Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl you have featured reminds me of my moms tamale pie but healthier. 😍 Hopefully more savory items come out soon! 🤞

Received my first order today! I had the Broccoli Cashew Alfredo Savory-Bowl for dinner. LOVED IT! So excited about this journey! Thank you. I work in healthcare, and y’all are making my crazy long days easier and infinitely more soul-nourishing!
I just had half of the Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl. Amazing! So yummy and filling! Thank you 🙏

Just got my first box today and had the Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl savory bowl for dinner. Outstanding! And I couldn't eat all of it! I had a steamed veggie as a side and had to save half the bowl for tomorrow. I think I'm in love! Definitely an impressive start! ❤️❤️❤️

I really liked what I have gotten and tried. The Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl was fantastic. I added extra water, beans, and rice and ate on it for days. The longer it sat, the better it tasted.
That meal is utterly delicious!

I just got my first order. My initial reaction is that it is packaged so well and looks filled with good ingredients. I could hardly wait to try the first meal (Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl). Tasty, easy, filling. Where have you been all my life!?

My tummy is now full of my half Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl. 😁 I make two days' worth out of one meal packet by adding some extra veggies. That means I get 24 lunches from 12 packs. Love these!

What I just did with the Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl: baked spaghetti squash and added roasted carrots, mushrooms, peppers (chopped and added), included frozen corn, and used 2 cans of salt-free diced tomatoes. YUM—this will be about four meals. Saved me from all the additional ingredients put in there from the LeafSide meal.

We LOVE the Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl, Creamy Forest Mushroom Savory-Bowl and the Apple Cinnamon Crunch Sweet-Bowl! We stretch the sweet bowl with some instant oatmeal, and add rice to the savory bowls. So happy to have nutritious food for less than the price of fast food!

I use these when I travel and also keep several on hand in case of a food shortage. 🥗 Today, we had an electrical outage, and it sure was handy to boil some water on my gas stove and have this yummy Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl. Just sharing another good thing...

Tried one of the new LeafSide freeze-dried meals tonight, the Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl. It was actually quite delicious, not too spicy, and SOOO healthy! The homemade guacamole and the nice sweet Riesling completely rounded out the dinner. We have five more to try, but all in all, I’d say it was a winner (boil the water, add and stir, cover for 10 minutes, enjoy… that’s it)

The Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl is delicious! I eat it over low-carb toast but it would be good with rice or a baked sweet potato too!

So far, I have enjoyed the Cacao Raspberry Sweet-Bowl and the Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl. Both were of outstanding quality and quantity. The taste is most certainly plant-based and will take a minute for new converts, BUT it's good and will grow on you. For what it is made of, it's delicious and filling.

I find them unattractive, but I don't care. I would never make these recipes (too many ingredients and too many steps), and I love the nutrition!! I am working on my first order; they last a while since each meal makes me 2 or 3 servings. I add some riced cauliflower to the Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl and roll it up into a burrito....yowza!

I made burgers using the Baked Mushroom Lentil burgers recipe but used the Tex-Mex mix instead. Easy to make and bake. I had a little extra mix I didn’t want to waste, so I made a couple of little meatballs! These will be good with some avocado, tomato, and lettuce on a bun! Thanks, LeafSide, for the wonderful recipe ideas!

I just had my first meal today, a Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl. Oh my, what a good one to start with! I loved it, and boy, was it filling. It definitely can be a 2-meal option.
I've tried several plant-based meal delivery services. So far, I am very pleased with LeafSide. I love the convenience, the shelf stability (and no worries about frozen meals arriving unfrozen, as I did three times with one service and twice with another), the taste, and all the nutrients! I'm a nutritionist, so I appreciate that! I will send LeafSide meals to a couple of friends who could use a care package. I also had a client sign up today!
Great job knowing your audience and filling a need while perfecting delivery and preparation convenience!

I love these. My favorites are the Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl, Cacao Cherry Smoothie, and the Mint Chip Smoothie. Yum!

I just had my first two meals today- a Smoothie for breakfast and the Tex-Mex Savory-Bowl tonight. Both had great flavors, but yeah, the texture was interesting. I'll get used to it. Texture isn't a massive thing for me the way it is for some people. I love that the meals are affordable, quick, and low-calorie.
