Butternut squash offers similar sweetness with fewer calories.

In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Put that aside.

In a blender, add 1 1/2 cups of soy milk, 1/4 cup of natural peanut butter, 2 scoops of vanilla flavored protein powder, and 4 pitted medjool dates. Blend until smooth and thick.

Add the blended mixture to the mixing bowl and mix everything together.

Add 1 cup of fresh raspberries to the mixture and cut them up a little for even distribution. Mix that in.

Pour the mixture into a lined baking dish and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Once done, let it cool before cutting.

For lunch, start with 4 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes, and place in a large mixing bowl. Add a touch of oil and 1 tablespoon of chili seasoning. Mix well.

Transfer the sweet potatoes to a baking tray and bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Sauté 1/4 cup of chopped onion in a pan. After a few minutes, add 2 cans of drained and rinsed black beans and 2 chopped red bell peppers. Season with 1 teaspoon of chili seasoning and mix well.

Once cooked, add 1 cup of frozen green peas to the mixture.

For the avocado lime and cilantro dressing, blend together 1/2 avocado, 1 cup of fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons of hot sauce, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, juice from 1 medjool date, and 3/4 cup of water. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Store in a container.

For dinner, rinse 1 cup of brown rice and add to a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 40 minutes.

Add 1 cup of frozen mixed veggies to the rice just as it finishes cooking.

Prepare 1 1/2 blocks of extra firm tofu by cutting into three half blocks, then cutting each half lengthwise. Score the tofu in an X pattern.

For the marinade, mix together 2 tablespoons of tamari or soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil.

Dunk each piece of tofu in the marinade and place on a baking tray. Bake at 375°F for 30 to 35 minutes, basting with leftover marinade halfway through.
