Secretly Healthy Dinner Meal Plan Week of 1/4/2021

This secretly healthy dinner meal plan is full of easy, crazy-good meals that’ll have you looking forward to dinner every single night! Perfect if you’re doing 21 Day Fix, WW, or just want to have some tasty meals planned out for you! Includes a printable grocery list, too! 

Happy 2021, socially-distanced party people!! It felt like this year would never come, and we may be a little worse for wear (I know I am), but we're here. 

A big thank-you to all of the amazing people on the front lines of this pandemic - the nurses and doctors, but all of the other essential workers, too, who stocked grocery shelves, who delivered Amazon boxes by the truck full, who made sure that the things we needed were there when we needed them. 

Well, except for toilet paper. 😉

Seriously though, I'm thankful - and I hope everyone reading this has an amazing 2021, full of love, adventure, and enchiladas! I can at least help with that last part! 

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: Cranberry-Apple Pie Overnight Oats {21 Day Fix} - and yes, you can warm them up if you like!
• Lunch: Instant Pot Bacon and Beer Cheese Cauliflower Soup {21 Day Fix}
• Dessert: Pumpkin Blondies

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 - I listed the number of servings for each recipe below to help you figure that out!).

Monday: The BEST Chicken Enchiladas
