Free 7 Day Healthy Meal Plan (September 1-7)
Can you believe we’re already at the “unofficial” end of summer? It’s that bittersweet time when we’re squeezing in those last long weekends, soaking up the sunshine, and firing up the grill for one more round of summer favorites—like my Juicy Grilled Pork Chops or these Juicy Lucies!
But just as we’re trying to enjoy those final summer vibes, reality hits: back-to-school madness is knocking at the door! Between packing lunches, adjusting to earlier bedtimes, and managing after-school activities, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Don’t forget your slow cooker or Instant Pot—they’re lifesavers for busy weeknights when you’re juggling homework, sports, and everything in between.
I am so excited about my new book- Skinnytaste High Protein, and you can still preorder your copy right now, and it’ll be officially released on October 7th. I know you will love it as much as I do!
If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc. or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. Depending on your goals, you should aim for at least 1500 calories* per day. There’s no one size fits all, this will range by your goals, your age, weight, etc.
There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.
Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing! If you wish to get on the email list, you can subscribe here so you never miss a meal plan!
