Let’s simplify life a little bit and follow this week’s healthy meal plan. Nutritious, delicious recipes along with a shopping list and vegetarian options!
There are lots of great options here, folks! Summer is right round the corner and we’ve got you covered with lighter, healthier dishes!
Monday
Chicken and Spaghetti in a Creamy Avocado Sauce from Lauren Kelly Nutrition.
Prep Ahead: Chop vegetables ahead of time.
Vegetarian Option: You can easily omit chicken for vegetarian dish.
Tuesday
Grilled Salmon Nicoise Salad from Flavor the Moments.
Prep Ahead: Veggies may be prepped in advance, and the dressing may also be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
Wednesday
Southwestern Chicken Kale Salad from greens & chocolate.
Prep Ahead: You can make this entire salad in advance, as the kale holds up very well to the dressing. Wait until ready to serve to add the avocado.
Vegetarian Option: omit chicken.
Thursday
Spiralized Sweet Potato and Kale Salad from Spoonful of Flavor.
Prep Ahead: Spiralize the noodles in advance to save time.
Friday
