This week’s Paleo Weekly Meal Plan features six seasonal dinner recipes and one healthier dessert! Complete with a printable grocery list, these meal plans are designed to make life easy, nourishing, and delicious!
Well hello there!
We’re back with another healthy Paleo Meal Plan and this one is perfect for the shoulder season between summer and fall.
We have light summer produce-centric meals as well as some comfort foods.
Whether it’s still hot (like it is here in Reno) or cooling off where you live, I trust you’ll enjoy this week’s meal plan!
If you have a big appetite like me and are looking for some side dishes to go alongside these meals, my top choices are always My Easy Go-To Stir Fry Vegetables Recipe, Crowd-Pleasing Roasted Vegetables, or German-Style Potato Salad with Caramelized Onions.
My Italian Pasta Salad is one of my personal favorites to and is especially wonderful for these hot evenings we’ve been having!
Also, if you didn’t catch my Flourless Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars earlier this week, they have been quite the epic treat!
They’re grain-free, dairy-free and perfect for using up a partial jar of tahini (or any nut/seed butter).
And now for the food! I hope you enjoy this week’s meal plan. As always, let me know if you have any questions or requests.

Paleo Meal Plan!
SUNDAY:
Foil Packet Sweet Potato Tacos – Amazingly flavorful, nutritious tacos loaded up with your favorite toppings are fun to prepare and so easy to make! Great as a make-ahead meal for a grab-and-go taco!
Special Diet: Recipe can be as paleo as you like. All toppings are to your liking.
Prep Ahead: If you make these a day or two ahead, all you need to do is put them in the oven! They’re also great for camping trips.
Substitutions/Notes: Use any kind of ground beef for the taco meat.
MONDAY:
Hearty Ground Turkey Soup with Vegetables – A clean and comforting soup recipe, perfect for soothing the belly and soul. A dairy-free creamy soup recipe that is paleo and whole30 compliant. Mix it up by adding your favorite veggies!
Special Diet Notes: Recipe is paleo and whole30. Make it Keto by omitting the potatoes. If you’d like, you can replace them with another vegetable such as bok choy, broccoli or cauliflower.
Prep Ahead: This soup recipe comes together rather quickly and doesn’t necessitate any prior preparation. The soup tastes even better the next day (up to 7 days) after making the soup, so feel free to make it in advance.
Substitutions/Notes: Replace the ground turkey with ground beef or chicken. Feel free to toss in your favorite vegetables.
TUESDAY:
Santa Fe Grilled Caesar Salad with Shrimp – A completely delicious, fresh take on classic Caesar salad, this Santa Fe Grilled Caesar features corn, shrimp, avocado, and the most amazing dressing! Finally, a salad that feels filling!
Special Diet Notes: Recipe is paleo without the corn and Parmesan.
Prep Ahead: Make the dressing 1-2 days ahead to save time.
Substitutions/Notes: Use grilled zucchini slices in place of the corn on the cob if you like. You may omit the Parmesan or substitute it with a tablespoon or two of nutritional yeast.
WEDNESDAY:
30-Minute Mexican Chicken and Zucchini Skillet – 30-Minute Mexican Chicken and Zucchini Skillet couldn’t be any easier to make and results in a nutritious, tasty meal! Simply toss everything in one skillet, cook, and you’re in for a lovely lunch or dinner.
Special Diet Notes: Recipe is paleo, whole30, keto, and low-carb!
Prep Ahead: A quick and easy dinner recipe, this skillet comes together in a flash! No advance prep is needed.
Substitutions/Notes: Toss in your favorite veggies! If you do dairy, serve with shredded cheese on top. Also feel free to serve with guacamole, rice, salsa, etc.
THURSDAY:
Grilled Eggplant Stacks with Macadamia Ricotta – Have you ever tried macadamia ricotta “cheese”? It’s hearty, dairy-free alternative to ricotta filled with lots of healthy fats. These Grilled Eggplant Stacks remind me of lasagna, but much less fussy. It’s also paleo, vegan, and low-carb/Keto friendly!
Special Diet Notes: Recipe is paleo and meatless.
Prep Ahead: Make the macadamia ricotta 3-4 days in advance to save time.
Substitutions/Notes: Substitute other vegetables for the eggplant or grill several kinds. Zucchini, bell peppers, and tomatoes would be delicious here.
FRIDAY:
Chicken Chow Mein Zoodles – Easy Chicken Chow Mein Zoodles with veggies and zucchini noodles is a clean, light and refreshing yet comforting dinner recipe! This simple low-carb meal takes hardly any time to prepare and is a marvelous alternative to ordering takeout.
Special Diet Notes: Recipe is paleo, whole30, keto, and low-carb!
Prep Ahead: This recipe comes together in 40 minutes or less! No need to prepare anything ahead of time!
Substitutions/Notes: Add in your favorite veggies and/or omit the bell pepper if desired. You can replace the chicken with ground beef or turkey if you’d like!
DESSERT:
Flourless Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars – These PB&J bars only have FIVE ingredients! I love how the coconut sugar gives them a little caramely flavor. You can use any jam or jelly you like, too. Prep time is quick, so you can have these ready to go in under an hour.
Special Diet Notes: Recipe is grain-free, dairy-free, and naturally sweetened by using homemade strawberry jam. Check out my Strawberry Chia Seed Jam for a quick, easy, healthy jam recipe. If you’d like to use another type of nut butter such as almond butter, feel free to do so.
Prep Ahead: Prep the jelly ahead of time if making your own.
Substitutions/Notes: Use a different kind of jelly or swap out the nut butter.
