Healthy Meal Plan
It’s been rainy here the last couple of days, but it’s nothing in comparison with Hurricane Helene – I’m thinking of all of you affected by the storm! Stay safe, friends! The weather has me thinking of some fall comfort food and this week is the perfect meal plan for that.
The delicious dressing in these Mason Jar salads just got its own spot on the blog and it got me thinking about meal prepping them this upcoming week so I can just grab and go with them. Go ahead and use rotisserie chicken if you want! Then pop the bones in the IP and make a stock for your ramen.
We love to have Ramen Noodle Fridays around here in the colder months, and I’m definitely in the mood! Just so you know – this recipe is also delish with beef and also pork if you want to switch up the protein.
Lastly, making applesauce is a super easy way to make your house smell amazing and is a fun, hands off way to celebrate fall. My kids don’t love pork, but if I pair it with applesauce, it’s like a treat.
Have a great week!

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.
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!
