Healthy Meal Plan
This week feels like the real deal now, despite the 95 degree temps…summer vaca is really over! Kids have transitioned well to school and we did ok with our community pool (our happy place) closing Monday evening.
I will miss summer, but I feel refreshed and excited going into Fall!
The date on this meal plan is throwing me for a loop, though . It already feels like Sept is going fast and it just began!
Before the summer corn goes away, we MUST make some corn chowder! This one is great for the freezer, too. Speaking of corn chowder, I saw a tomato corn bisque recipe in a cookbook that now I can’t stop thinking about! YUM! What other soup recipes can I add to the blog this Fall?

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!

Salsa Lime Chicken made into bowls seems like an easy way for me to ensure I eat something high enough in protein at lunch time – I tend to snack if I don’t have something made! Just add your fave veggies or enjoy over a salad. No time? Buy frozen cauli rice and premade pico de gallo! No chopping but still sooooo good!

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.
Healthy Snack Ideas | 21 Day Fix Snacks this post is a great way to get ideas for the containers, points, or macros you have leftover after you plan the rest of your day!
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!
