Healthy Eating Challenge Meal Plan
Breakfast
Don’t forget about breakfast! If I make a poor choice at breakfast I often continue to make bad choices all day. Make the good choice to have a healthy breakfast.
- Crock Pot Breakfast Hash (I’ll try to get this one to you soon)
- Sugar-Free Oatmeal with Apples and Raw Pepitas
- Blueberry Muffin from our sponsor Kimbre at Fueling the Temple and fruit
- Peachy Keen Oatmeal
Lunch
I start thinking about lunch the night before when I’m cooking dinner. Leftovers are a great way to ensure you have a healthy lunch available, no matter how busy you get.
- Easy Vegetable Soup from our sponsor Amber at Adventures in Mindful Living
- Lemony Chickpea and Quinoa Wrap
- Leftover Quinoa Lentil Salad (keep the dressing on the side and use grape tomatoes)
- Leftover Soup and Salad
- Big Salad using which ever veggies are on hand as well as leftover beans and grains
Dinner
I’m using quinoa a lot this week so I’ll save time by making a large batch of it on prep day!
- Crock Pot Mexican Casserole (I’ll make a triple batch for lots of leftovers)
- Chickpea and Quinoa Stir Fry
- Quinoa Lentil Salad
- Hearty Lentil and Barley Stew I’ll use rice for a GF version.
- Baked Potato with Roasted Veggies
Don’t forget to eat your fruit! I often have an apple or banana between meals but you can add fruit to salads, wraps and stir fry’s for a delicious and unexpected flavor.
