A Weekly Meal Diary
Hello everyone!
I am sharing something a bit different today - my meal plan and diary for a week. I am a creature of habit and I like to have a rhythm and simplicity to my meals, which is especially helpful during this busy season of my life (pregnant, toddler, kitchen remodel). Foods I am currently loving and are giving me life stay on repeat for a few weeks, and then I change everything up. Currently, I am loving loaded oatmeal bowls, coconut oil roasted sweet potatoes, salmon and sardines, and eggs in all forms, and hating chicken and meat (thanks pregnancy hormones)!
MY MEAL PLAN
Breakfast Options (always with a Matcha Oat Milk Latte):
Cinnamon-roasted butternut squash tahini oatmeal with chia seeds and protein powder
Blueberry tahini oatmeal with chia seeds, protein powder and shredded zucchini
Scrambled eggs with spinach, coconut oil roasted sweet potatoes and avocado
Lunch Options:
Chickpea tomato stew over roasted spaghetti squash with avocado
Sardine salad with green onions, roasted broccoli and roasted sweet potatoes
Dinner Options
Salmon with sautéed shredded brussels sprouts and roasted butternut squash
Kale mushroom creamy French lentils with avocado
Snack Options
Kalejunkie's Banana Date Drop cookies
Golden Milk latte with collagen powder
Hardboiled eggs with pink salt
Sunflower butter sourdough toast
These options played out like this:
Monday
Breakfast - Two scrambled eggs in ghee with a handful of spinach and roasted white sweet potatoes + matcha oat milk latte
Lunch - Roasted salmon with roasted white sweet potatoes and roasted broccoli + a banana date drop cookie
Afternoon snack - Golden milk latte with coconut oil and collage protein powder

Thursday
Breakfast - Blueberry Tahini Oatmeal
Lunch - Sardine salad with green onions and a slice of avocado toast
Afternoon snack - Golden Milk Latte + banana drop cookie
Dinner - Pasta (skipped the kale mushroom lentils since I had to skip the grocery store to meet the contractor about the kitchen remodel)
Friday
Breakfast - Cinnamon Roasted Butternut Squash Tahini Oatmeal
Lunch - 2 hardboiled eggs with leftover pasta
Afternoon snack - Golden Milk Latte with collagen protein powder + banana drop cookie
Dinner - Leftover sardine salad sandwich with mashed avocado and spinach
And thats it! I have to add that keeping my meals super simple this week drastically cut down on my meal prep time and the grocery bill - WIN WIN.
