How’s your January going so far?

Whether you made dietary goals or are continuing to eat as you were before the New Year, I trust you’ll LOVE this week’s Whole30 Meal Plan!

One of the most common sentiments about making changes or staying consistent with a whole food diet is the amount of time it takes to cook.

While cooking can definitely seem daunting or feel like it’s an inconvenience, putting a little forethought into weekly meals helps tremendously so that you don’t get burned out.

I find sticking with the foods that make me feel great ensures I don’t go down the path of detox and retox or feel undernourished.

For me, adequate protein is key! Protein is highly satiating and contains the building blocks (amino acids) we need for muscle repair and healthy hormone and immune function. Plus, there are so many sources of protein and so many ways we can prepare it, so I find the burnout on a protein-centric diet to be low!

The goal for this meal plan it to ensure you’re getting plenty of variety both in flavor and in micronutrients, while nailing your macronutrients with flying colors. If you haven’t checked out the first Whole30 Meal Plan we posted, give that a gander too!

I hope you enjoy this week’s Whole30 Meal Plan! As always, feel free to reach out with questions!

Enjoy! xo
