Healthy Weekly Meal Plan [Week of 3/9/26]

A Healthy Weekly Meal Plan with delicious meals that use shared ingredients and leftovers! This meal plan has breakfast, lunch, and 5 dinner recipes to make your week a little easier! Plus 21 Day Fix Containers, WW points, and a meal planning spreadsheet included, too. 

Healthy Meal Plan

Next week we are getting a taste of beautiful warm Spring weather here for a few days!🌞 So this meal plan includes a mix of both cozy and Spring time meals for the week! To keep things simple (and budget friendly) on the grocery list, there are lots of shared ingredients, as well as utilizing and re-purposing some leftovers.

Making a batch of chicken cutlets is a go-to way to have some protein on hand and will be perfect leftover with a pot of Vodka Sauce! This week, Meatless Friday features my favorite Shrimp Tacos! The toppings are insanely delicious! And don’t miss our yummy breakfast choice – Easy Cottage Cheese Egg Bites – high protein and easily customized for your preferences!

It’s been a while since I made Healthy Chicken Lettuce Wraps, so I thought it would be perfect this week for lunch. I might meal prep a side of Freezer Friendly Instant Pot Brown Rice to bulk it up a little bit. I’m looking forward to some cozy Chicken Wild Rice Soup leftovers too!

Enjoy!
