Happy Sunday, meal preppers! This week’s meal plan is (mostly unintentionally) all about squash – we’ve got butternut, red kuri, spaghetti, and of course pumpkin. So make the most of the season’s bounty while it lasts with a yummy combo of recipes.

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!

If you’re new to meal prepping or want to learn more about how I meal prep, go check out my Meal Prep 101 page for more my meal planning tips and strategies.

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

Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Muffins

Hearty muffins with warm pumpkin spices and gooey dark chocolate. With 13 grams of protein, they’re great for breakfast in the fall!

recipe

lunch/dinner

Miso Pork and Green Beans

Easy miso sauce brings a ton of flavor to rich and juicy ground pork that’s served with hard seared green beans. Such an easy meal served over rice or with red kuri squash!

recipe

sides

Miso Maple Glazed Red Kuri Squash

Gorgeous reddish-orange red kuri squash is roasted and glazed with bold Asian flavors of miso and sesame paired with sweet maple syrup.

recipe

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! All you need is salt, sugar, and a few spices to make your own chicken brine at home.

recipe

Lunch/Dinner

Roasted Butternut Squash and Kale Salad

Hearty kale is paired up with sweet roasted butternut squash, tangy dried cranberries, creamy goat cheese, and crunchy candied pecans. It’s all topped off with a sweet and tangy honey mustard dressing. A perfect fall salad!

Recipe

Lunch/Dinner

Spaghetti Squash Chow Mein

This veggie-heavy meal packs a ton of flavor! A bunch of chicken, veggies, and faux noodles are tossed together in a finger-licking’-good Chinese-inspired sauce that makes for a really tasty meal that’s perfectly meal-prepable.
