7 Day Healthy Weekly Meal Plan

The fall chill has hit New England so this week we’re having all the cozy fall dishes.

Two kinds of soup are on the menu. Soup is such a great low-calorie meal.

It’s also really good for meal prepping. You can make a huge batch of soup and freeze extra’s to have on hand for busy nights.

Just pull individually frozen portions of soup from the freezer, throw it in a pan, and heat until it’s thawed and bubbling hot.

When shopping, get a big enough bag of kale to make for the grain bowls and for the kale salad. For even faster prep, you can get baby kale, which cuts down on the prep time significantly.

I’ll be using Jovial Gluten Free Lasagna Noodles in the Lasagna Soup. Their gluten free pasta is our family’s favorite brand.

Jovial also makes gluten free orzo, which is what I’ll be using in the orzo bake.

Their pasta is available on Amazon but I usually buy it in bulk on Thrive Market and get it on auto ship with a lot of our other gluten free products.

I’m also a huge fan of sheet pan meals. I say that every time I share a sheet pan recipe because I really mean it.

It’s just SO EASY to throw all the ingredients onto a single sheet pan and have a fully cooked meal and only one dish to wash.

It’s glorious!

Enjoy!

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
  • Mini Sweet Peppers
  • Sugar Snap Peas
  • Hummus
  • Low Fat Cottage Cheese – try this Viral TikTok Cottage Cheese Queso or Edible Protein Cookie Dough!
  • Lightly Salted Mixed Nuts
