Happy Sunday, meal preppers! I hope you’re all getting to enjoy some of this gorgeous spring weather. I’m keeping it super simple for this week’s meal plan so I can spend as much time outside as possible!
If you’ve never been here before, welcome! My meal prep posts go a little something like this: 1) meal plan (use any or all of it!), 2) snack ideas, and 3) links to the containers you see here. You can also download a free, printer-friendly version of the meal plan along with all of the recipes, nutrition info, and scannable My Fitness Pal barcodes. These printer friendly meal plans are exclusive content for email subscribers, but once you sign up, you’ll be able to access all my weekly meal plans that are available in printer-friendly format! I’m still working to update old meal plans with this new feature, but all future ones will have this available. And bonus – you can also access these plans early, sometimes up to a week ahead of non-subscribers!

The Meal Plan
You may notice that my weekly meal plans only account for 6 out of the 7 days of the week. Don’t worry, that’s intentional and there are a few reasons for it. First, food freshness is quickly fading by day 6 and I don’t like to push beyond that limit. Second, I like to leave a little room for spontaneity, so I give myself some space in my meal plan for one or two meals of takeout or dining out (usually on the weekend). You can adjust this meal plan to meet your needs, but I always share what I’m actually prepping and eating so you can decide if it will work for you too.

The Recipes
Breakfast
Mixed Berry Oatmeal Muffins
Like a bowl of oatmeal in baked form! More dense and filling than a regular muffin, they’re packed with berries and have 12 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber.
Lunch/dinner
Avocado Egg Salad
This ultra creamy egg salad is full of vitamins and minerals, plus it has 14 grams of protein per serving. A perfect no-heat lunch!
protein
Juicy Air Fryer Chicken
Meal prepping with chicken can leave you at risk of dried out chicken, unless you use my secret to the getting the juiciest chicken breasts every time!
sides
Grilled Summer Veggies
This how-to guide to grilling summer veggies will help you make the most of summer’s bounty. Perfect for meal prep or served with fresh pesto & grilled bread!
sides
Air Fryer Broccoli
It doesn’t get much simpler than these air fryer broccoli, but the little crispy browned bits make it totally delectable! You can also grill it at 400-425°F for 6-8 minutes using a grill topper.
condiments
Copycat Chick-Fil-A Sauce
A cross between a barbecue sauce and a honey mustard sauce, my Copycat Chick-fil-A sauce has less than half the calories of the original!
Lunch/Dinner
Turkey Taco Salad
My go-to meal prep salad! It’s made with ground turkey cooked in a skillet sauce and paired with corn, black beans, tomatoes, and tortilla strips. Top it with Avocado Ranch Dressing.
condiments
Avocado Ranch Dressing
Classic buttermilk ranch dressing gets a zesty twist with the addition of cilantro, lime, and creamy avocado in this creamy Avocado Ranch Dressing.
