Meal Plan Monday #1| Clean Eating Dinner Ideas

January 6, 2020 Leave a Comment

Happy Monday, y’all! I️ admit that I️ keep falling off the bandwagon with my weekly meal plan, but I️’m trying to make a conscious effort in 2020 because it makes life so much easier AND we don’t waste food when there’s a plan in place! Last year, I️ tried to move this post to Fridays, but it just didn’t work well for me, so I️’m bringing it back at the beginning of the week, aka #mealplanmonday!

Clean Eating Meal Plan | Paleo, Whole30, Macro-Friendly Dinner Ideas

When it comes to meal planning, I️’m always somewhere between finding convenient (but healthy) recipes and pulling a new recipe out of a cookbook to try. I️ love cooking but weeknights can get crazy, especially since I️ go to Pure Barre or Burn Boot Camp most nights when my husband gets home from work. I️f you’ve been here a while, you probably know I love my slow cooker and will often find recipes that can be prepared that way!

This Week’s Clean Eating Meal Plan

Monday

Ground Turkey Spaghetti – I️ try to avoid gluten, so I️ always make myself either zoodles, carrot spirals or Banza pasta to go with mine.

Tuesday

Tofu Stir Fry + Brown Rice – Obviously, the girls won’t eat this! My husband and I️ used to be good about incorporating a meatless dinner into our week, so we’re giving it another go this year.

Wednesday

Salsa Verde Chicken

Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken, Mexican Cauliflower Rice + Roasted Broccoli – One of my favorite *easy* dinner ideas – literally chicken breasts and a jar of salsa.

Thursday

Chicken Enchiladas – Something I️’m aiming to be better at in 2020 is meal prep and making things that can be used for more than one dinner. For these enchiladas, I️ plan to use leftover salsa chicken from the night before – makes it super easy to pull this dish together!

Friday

friday night pizza

Cauliflower Crust Pizza – We love having a pizza night tradition on Fridays, though I️ admit it doesn’t always happen! This past week, I️ prepped all of the toppings before my husband got home and then he was able to dive directly into making the crust. That saved a ton of time and allowed us to enjoy pizza night and still get the girls to bed (relatively) on time!

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️

@prolonfmd Day One | The struggle is real 😅 I’ve done cleanses in the past so I’m no stranger to this…but coming off a few weeks of holiday drinks and some indulgences, today was no easy feat 🤣 My energy definitely ebbed and flowed throughout the day, and felt weak and nauseated every now and then from lack of calories and protein 🙈 It was the longest day ever, but I cleaned, vacuumed, mopped and then did a @onepeloton walk & yoga class and still had time left over (side note, why doesn’t every day feel this long?! 😆). Actually feeling good this evening after having a sparkling water ‘mocktail’, energized and clear-minded 👌🏼

2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so ma 2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so many ways, but I also thrived in many ways. Continuing to grow a business with a husband, three kids, a dog and two cats is not a simple feat but here we are 😏 We adventured a LOT this year - from Girl Scout adventures to family vacations to HHI, the mountains, OBX and more, we had plenty of fun and made lots of memories 😘 The best part of this year was just really allowing myself to live in the moment and not allow stress to overtake me as I’ve allowed it in the past 😅 I also rediscovered my love of running thanks to my @onepeloton Tread and hit big goals at @purebarre_highlandcreek 💪🏼 Here’s to living more in the present, accomplishing bigger goals and dreams and having an amazing 2023 🥂
