Happy Sunday, meal preppers! It may be Cinco de Mayo, but hopefully you got all your margaritas yesterday and are able to knock out some meal prep today. But, hey, if not – I’ve got you covered with a Fish Taco Bowl recipe as part of this week’s meal plan, plus plenty of margarita recipes over in my Cocktails archives!
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
Chocolate Macadamia Nut Granola
This granola is rich and chocolatey thanks to plenty of Dutch cocoa, chocolate chips, and sea salt flakes. It even has a hint of coconut to pair up with the macadamia nuts’ tropical vibes.
lunch/dinner
Fish Taco Bowls
Mahi mahi is paired up with refreshing mango avocado salsa, a quick red cabbage slaw, and served over a bed of rice. Top it off with a tangy avocado lime crema.
Lunch/Dinner
Spring Chicken Sausage & Orzo Skillet
This one-pot meal was made in partnership with Greenridge Naturals. You can find the full recipe over on IG or in this week’s Meal Plan Bundle (complete with scannable MFP barcode)!

Juicy, brined chicken breast pairs with Mediterranean-inspired flavors, complementing the briny kalamata olives and tangy feta cheese.
