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

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
