7 Day Healthy Meal Plan

Spring break is coming up for some of you so here are some kid-friendly recipes in case you have a house full of kids or are running them all over! Sloppy Joe’s are always a kid pleaser, Pepperoni Pizza Bites are kid friendly and why not end a day with a Berry Crisp! A “staycation” is a great opportunity to let the kids pick some recipes that they can help prepare!

Love the idea of the 7-day meal plan but find it’s too rigid, doesn’t fit your busy lifestyle and/or family size? If you access my plan in Relish +, you can take any ready-made 7-day plan and delete meals you don’t want (or swap them for something else), adjust the serving sizes and/or even add in your own recipes.  The best part is, Relish + will automatically update your grocery list as you adjust the plan, allowing you to print your list from there or send it to the store for delivery or pick up

I’m also excited to share the Skinnytaste Ultimate Meal Planner is now available! The 52 week spiral bound meal planner has weekly meal planning grids you can tear out and put on your fridge if you wish, a 12-week meal plan, 30 (15 new) recipes, and tear-out grocery lists. I love starting my week with gratitude, affirmations and intentions, so I included a space for that as well. I hope you will love this as much as I do!

A note about WW Personal Points:

I no longer provide points since they vary on the new Weight Watchers plans but I do provide links to WW Personal points recipe builder for all recipes. Look for the orange button in the recipe card says my WW personal points. Click on that and it takes you to the Weight Watchers website where you can see the WW points and add it to your day (US only, you must be logged into your account). All cookbook recipes in the cookbook index are also updated!

About The Meal Plan

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. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.

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!
