Tips and Tricks for Maximizing your Meal Planning

When planning meals, we recommend selecting dishes that share ingredients throughout the week, helping to keep your shopping list shorter and budget-friendly😎.

Start by choosing proteins around which to base your meals. For this plan, we’ve selected three different protein options to create six meals. The attached recipes yield between 2 to 6 servings, ensuring you may have leftovers for lunch the next day. We’ve also designated Sunday as a “leftovers” day on our plan.

Depending on how many people you are feeding, you may need to double up your recipes. In contrast, you may be able to eliminate some meals from the plan if you will have plenty of leftovers.

Feel free to modify the recipes and shopping list to suit your needs or to use more of the same ingredients. For instance, instead of purchasing both skim milk and 2% milk, you could easily opt for one to use in all the recipes.
