Hello there,
Today I have for you a Ramadan Iftar Menu (Week 2) . You can check last week post, 2021: Ramadan Iftar Menu (Week 1)
We are now in Ramadan (fasting month for Muslims) . A must read post, is to know what fasting does to our body . Last year I added a weekly menu for healthy meals and it was approved and loved by readers like you. So I’m adding more lists this year with more recipes from outside the blog, from blogs I follow and love. These meals menus are to help you plan and organize your week ahead. Also to have a variety of dishes to choose form, so you don’t cook the same dishes over and over. Most of the food items you can find in any supermarket. However, for special items, you can check the SHOP PAGE
However, some soups and drink in the menus, you will see every time , because they are kind of traditionally ones in my country, and many people have them over and over in Ramadan.

Notes:
**This is a suggestive menu, Not a diet plan. It may not be suitable for your diet plan . What you should eat depends on your calorie needs, how much do you burn during workout, and your activity level, and your age. You may skip some of the courses, like salad or soup, if you think that you are full, also I didn’t list any portion. You may have to decide that based on your knowledge of your needs. These ideas of dishes are just to help you design your iftar meal.
** You don’t have to stick to every course every day, you can alternate between days, choosing what you like. However, the menu is based on meals that fit together, and maximizing your intake of meat/chicken , fruits and vegetables. Every course has a goal, different fruits, vegetable, protein source, and carbs source to help you stay on track of eating healthy and maximizing your intake, eat small portions of everything.
