Other ideas include adding nuts and seeds to salads or bowls, mashing beans on toast, substituting ice cream for frozen banana slices, or serving hummus with vegetables throughout the day.

Can the Mediterranean Diet be gluten-free?

You might also consider making porridge as an alternative to oats, eating baked salmon with potatoes, or bean soup for lunch, and roasting vegetables with herbs as dinner.

What should I consume in a Mediterranean-style diet for one day?

A Mediterranean diet is based on healthy fats, proteins, and plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Healthy Mediterranean eating habits should include seven to ten servings of vegetables per day, and two to four 3-ounce portions of lean protein like chicken or fish. It is also recommended to consume moderate amounts of healthy fats like olive oils and nuts. To ensure a balanced diet, aim for three portions of whole grains each day, such as quinoa or barley.

It is also important to limit the intake of unhealthy foods such as added sugar, unhealthy fats and white bread. Consuming dairy should be limited.
