Looking to eat better, but not sure where to start? Reset, try new meals, and get inspired! In this amazing meal plan, you won't find words like "detox," or "back on track" because this plan focuses on foods that nourish your body, keep you full and satisfied, and most importantly, feeling good. Each day consists of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack. All meals are delicious, vibrant, plant-based, whole foods. I advise making this easy meal prep on a Sunday to have your week prepped and stress-free.
This page is an overview of the full week, with a daily guide of all meals, a shopping list, SNACK ideas, and meal prep instructions (at the bottom). For the full detailed recipes and macros, go to the first free chapter of my ebook, by clicking here.

MEAL PREPPING
__________________________
New to meal prepping? If you're looking to lower food waste, improve your health, save time and money, meal prep is the way to go. If you don't mind washing, chopping, preparing, and/or cooking everything at once, I strongly advise completing your prep for the upcoming week on Sunday. This frees up so much time and will make the following days stress-free. The goal here is to make individually portioned meals and store them in the fridge or freezer so that you have convenient grab-and-go, wholesome foods when you needs them.
PROS:
Improved diet quality
Add some variety to your meals
Prevent overeating
Increase nutrition intake
Save $$ AND time
Lower food waste
Improved mental and physical health
Foods that work the best in meal prep containers are:
Whole grains (rice, oats, quinoa), fruits and vegetables, leafy greens, potatoes, lean proteins (chicken, fish, ground turkey, tofu, yogurt), beans, lentils, nuts & seeds.
When grocery shopping, make sure you buy fresh, frozen, and canned foods for plenty of diversity. Buying in bulk (and also at the dollar store and Aldi!) will help save money.
GET COOKING!
Batch cook ingredients where you can. Wash, chop, and store veggies + fruits for simple pulls throughout the week. I love to pre-cook my grains and chicken for the week so that I can grab them as needed. Overnight oats are the perfect breakfast for busy mornings. Make sure you use airtight containers to keep food fresh. The general rule for prepped food is 4 days in the fridge. Store what you can in the freezer to extend their freshness. Any questions? I would love to help! You can reach out, anytime, and I will respond as quickly as possible. Thank you all <3
