Recepieplanning
Peanut-free weekly meals are a sauce problem as much as a protein problem. Peanuts hide in noodles, dressings, trail mixes, and “Asian-inspired” jars. If peanuts are unsafe in your house, they are a hard filter — sibling to nut-free meal planning when tree nuts are also out, and always under the umbrella of allergy-friendly meal planning.
Not medical advice. Cross-contact policies are yours to set.
Build flavor without peanut butter
- Soy + garlic + ginger + chili for stir-fries
- Tomato, yogurt, lemon, herb for bowls and chicken
- Tahini only if sesame is allowed — do not swap blindly
- Sunflower seed butter only if that is a tested safe swap for your household
Skip the famous peanut recipes on purpose
If a blog week leans on satay and peanut noodles, it is the wrong template. Start from meals that never listed peanuts.
A peanut-free week
- Monday — lemon herb chicken. Lemon herb chicken.
- Tuesday — pasta. Mushroom spinach pasta.
- Wednesday — chickpea curry. Chickpea curry.
- Thursday — beef and broccoli with a soy-based sauce, not peanut. Beef and broccoli (confirm your bottle).
- Friday — tofu stir-fry without peanut sauce. Vegetable stir-fry with tofu.
- Weekend — fish or eggs + roasted vegetables. Baked cod.
Keep weeknights inside the 30-minute cap when energy is low. Browse recipes after peanut is marked out.
Cart checks
- Granola, bars, and “protein balls”
- Chili crisp and bottled sauces
- Bakery cookies and bulk bins
- Shared school snacks — pack from the plan, not the impulse aisle
One list from the week. No improvised peanut granola because it was on sale.
Keep peanuts out of the draft week.
Recepieplanning filters exclusions first — so peanut-free weekly meals start safe.
