A Healthy Weekly Meal Plan with some summer veggie-forward meals. This meal plan has breakfast, lunch, and 5 dinner ideas to make your life a little easier this week. Plus 21 Day Fix Containers, WW points, and a meal planning spreadsheet included, too.
Healthy Meal Plan
School starts for my kids in a week and a half so we are cramming in all the last minute summer fun in between high school volleyball tryouts and practice. It’s been a great summer, and I’m sad to see it end! But I’m hanging on to summer still with produce, keeping my farmstand obsession strong!
My summer veggie inspo for this week is eggplant. I just made a big batch of ratatouille for us and it really is the world’s greatest way to eat your veggies. And I LOVE eggplant parmesan using that farmstand eggplant (or my garden if it ever shows up!) You can add any protein to the ratatouille – shrimp is delish but I also love chicken sausage in the air fryer. You can add in some pasta or brown rice too!
For breakfast I’m thinking Sheet Pan Breakfast where you can feel free to swap in your favorite summer veggies or even some regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes to switch it up.
Have a delicious week!

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. Many people like to get some healthy takeout one night – think yummy salads with grilled protein or a slice of veggie pizza – and we have this helpful Healthy Weekend Meals post to help you even more!
