A Healthy Meal Plan with easy prep meals during the craziness of May! This meal plan has breakfast, lunch, and 5 dinners to help you keep your sanity! Plus 21 Day Fix Containers, WW points, and a meal planning spreadsheet included, too.
Healthy Meal Plan
This May feels extra special as my son experiences all of his “lasts” in elementary school and we leave behind an amazing school our family has called home for the last 11 years! It’s so special and bittersweet! I’m really trying to embrace it all and soak up every minute.
With that in mind, this meal plan is meant to keep our sanity intact using meals with minimal prep and shared side dishes. That way, I can spend the most time making memories and less time in the kitchen during this season!
I always love throwing together Instant Pot Sausage Broccoli Pasta. It cooks up so fast and packs a lot of flavor! And my family is always asking for seconds when I make my Italian Chicken Skillet! 20 minutes and it’s on the table with one pan to wash afterwards – that’s a May-cember winner!
Chocolate Chia Pudding is a yummy way to get some plant based protein at breakfast time. If you want to add more protein, you can add protein powder or Greek yogurt. It also makes a perfect snack or dessert if you don’t want to eat it for breakfast!
My favorite Taco Salad Recipe is perfect for this week- quick and very versatile with the potential to pack in tons of veggies by midday!
Enjoy!

We are working on converting each recipe on the site to the new WW points system. Some recipes still have a link to find your personal points, while others have the points listed. In both cases, if you go to the recipe card on each blog post you will find the WW points info in the “notes” section. Thank you for bearing with us while we work on adapting to the new system!

When I meal plan I always start by planning my dinners. Then breakfast, then lunch. And finally, I fill in my snacks for the day with my remaining macros, points, or containers.

It’s still important to follow the 21 Day Fix plan on Saturdays and Sundays for optimal results, but you will likely have leftover meals and ingredients after following this healthy weekly meal plan. And, so, to eliminate food waste, take inventory of your fridge and pantry at the end of the week and create a plan for the weekend.
