WEEK ONE
LET'S DO THIS!
This 14-day meal plan includes preparing a few meals on Sunday. This way you have enough
food ready for the beginning of your week, and you’ve got less cooking for the remainder of
your week. You’ll stock up on essentials at the grocery store that you may not already have.
Prepping can also take more time on week one, and that’s OK!

□□ Review all meals you want to eat this week.


PRE-SHOP LIS T □□ Use the provided grocery lists and modify with anything you like.
□□ Take note of what you’ve already got in your fridge/pantry so you don’t
overbuy.

1. If you are roasting any veggies for your bowls, preheat your oven at 425
PREP NOTES degrees. You’ll use it again for the pumpkin seeds and turn it down.
2. Prepare enough ingredients for three bowls, plus extra ingredients for
leftovers later in the week. Chop enough veggies, add a little oil and
seasoning to them, toss, and assemble on your sheet pan.
3. Roast your veggies once your oven comes to temperature.
4. While your veggies are roasting, toss and season your pumpkin seeds. Spread
them out on your baking sheet and set them aside.
5. If you are cooking rice or starch for your bowls, follow directions for 4 servings
and cook.
6. Prepare your protein option of choice: you can roast in the oven with your
veggies for about 30-45 minutes or cook on a stove top.
7. Take veggies out of the oven, turn your oven down to 300 degrees, wait for it
to come to temperature, and put in your pumpkin seeds.
8. Gather all of your bowl ingredients together and assemble them. Store any
leftover ingredients in your fridge.
9. Take out your pumpkin seeds, let them cool a bit, then transfer to single
servings for snacks.
10. Prepare four servings of vanilla overnight oats and store in your fridge for the
morning.
11. Clean up and done!

• I f it makes your life easier, buy a pre - cooked protein for your

NOTES/ TIPS • Sundays are a good time to cut up veggies and fruit for snacks all

• I f you’re tr ying the smoothie recipe and citrus salad recipes, prep

CRE ATE P OSSIB ILIT Y
You made it! One week down. That wasn't so hard was it? You still got more in you—we know it.
Let's prep for week two.

By far, the easiest meal prep comes from leftovers. Cook or prepare ingredients once, and eat
many times. This week is meant to guide you to use what you have on hand in your kitchen and
continue to eat great versus going for something “more convenient.” Leftovers are the ultimate
in convenience and economically smart. Try it this week!

1. Prepare and assemble your cookie dough bites and transfer to

2. Prepare your citrus salad and transfer to three serving containers
for snacks.
3. Create a wrap for Monday’s lunch: include a protein option,
some crisp veggies, and a spread, like hummus or mustard. Get
creative and use what you have!
4. If you’ve got some extra time, prep your veggies for dinners
coming up this week to save time. (This is optional.)
5. Clean up! You’re done.

COOKING TIP:
Hard boiled eggs show up a few times this week. If you want,
hard boil a batch on Sunday, or pick up a pack of pre-hard boiled
