7 Day Healthy Meal Plan

I’m getting a slow start to meal planning and working on my healthy meal plan this week and still in recovery mode from Christmas. I wish we had an extra week of vacation!

We’re having some really easy, family friendly staples that I’m fitting into my calorie budget this week along with some healthier meals that I will have time to prep later in the week.

I get the breakfast sandwiches at Costco and my oldest daughter loves them too. She say’s they’re better than Starbucks so it’s a win for us!

Healthy Snacks

I prefer grab-and-go snacks and have plenty on hand for busy afternoons. I don’t like to prep a ton of snacks ahead of time because sometimes, I’m just not hungry for a snack.

This is what I like to have on hand:

  • Dannon Light & Fit Non-Fat Vanilla Greek Yogurt (80 calories and 12g protein)
  • Fresh Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries
  • Clementines or Seedless Mandarin Oranges
  • Bananas
  • Snack Size Bags of LesserEvil Himalayan Pink Salt Organic Popcorn (100 calories/bag)
  • Protein Shakes – I add half of a shake to my afternoon coffee in place of any milk or sugar. My favorite is Fairlife Salted Caramel.
  • Baby Carrots
  • Celery Sticks
  • Mini Cucumbers
  • Low Fat Cottage Cheese
