Anyway, this meal plan is perfect for absolutely anyone trying to eat healthier and anyone who just wants some delish dinners all planned out for them, but it also includes 21 Day Fix container counts and Weight Watchers Blue Plan (formerly Freestyle) Points!
For my meal preppers!
Here are some great recommendations that you can make on Sunday and eat throughout the week!
- Breakfast: 21 Day Fix Mediterranean Egg Cups
- Snack: Slow-Cooker Pecan-Stuffed Apples with Cinnamon-Peanut Butter Sauce (these can double as dessert!!)
- Lunch: Instant Pot Bacon and Beer Cheese Cauliflower Soup
And if you want some extra help with meal prep, check out this great meal prep post! It’s got loads of great basics (like quinoa and sweet potatoes) that you can batch cook in the Instant Pot, plus some great tips on how to meal plan/prep using your Instant Pot!
And you might be wondering…
What about the weekend?
During the week, I try to save some of my leftovers for the weekend so I’ve got some healthy deliciousness ready to heat and eat! (Sometimes I’ll even double one of my weekday dinners if I don’t think I’ll have leftovers otherwise).
