This week’s Paleo Weekly Meal Plan features six seasonal dinner recipes and one dessert! Complete with a printable grocery list, these meal plans are designed to make life easy and nourishing!

Paleo Weekly Meal Plan with keto and low-carb options. This simple meal plan is big on flavor and nutrients!

We’ve catapulted into full-blown summer weather here in Reno, how about you?!

If you’re like me and trade comforting stews and curries for salads and light meals when the weather heats up, you’ll love this week’s meal plan!

We have a couple of salads that are filling yet leave you feeling refreshed, as well as some lighter protein + veggie-centric meals. Geared to make life simple, flavorful, and summer-friendly.

I read an article on Mark’s Daily Apple a few days ago about setting up your environment for success if you have health and fitness goals.

The main bullet points: keep the tempting foods out of your cupboards, and grocery shop + meal prep.

While I firmly believe life is for the living and we all tend to be too hard on ourselves when it comes to our food and fitness choices, I do think a little planning goes a long way in being capable of maintaining health goals.

When I meal prep mindfully and know what I’ll be eating day to day, I am far less tempted to destroy a pile of takeout and follow it up with any sugar-laden deliciousness I find in the freezer.

This to say – I hope these meal plans are helpful for you in simplifying your life (de-stressing!), and nourishing your body.

Indulging mindfully is important psychologically for maintaining a goal too! Hence the optional dessert included in these meal plans. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Be sure to print out the grocery list at the end of this post to make shopping for your meal prep a breeze! 

Also, if you didn’t catch my Banana Nice Cream this week, be sure to give it a whirl! It’s truly remarkable how satisfying this simple 1-ingredient soft serve is.

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.
