If you’re looking for an easy, practical and organized meal plan to help you plan out your meals for the week, these weekly meal plans are perfect for you. They include a meal for every day of the week plus one breakfast idea and one snack or dessert idea that you can make any day of the week.
Each meal plan includes a breakdown of the recipes for the week so that you don’t have to search through recipe sites, screenshots and bookmarks to plan your week. By using a weekly meal plan, you can save time and money at the grocery store and kitchen, while keeping your meals fresh and healthy.
This week’s meal plan includes 5 dinner recipes for each day of the week: Tofu Tacos, West African Beef Kabobs, Pesto Grilled Chicken, Broccoli Shrimp Alfredo, and Quinoa Burgers, along with two bonus recipes to prep for breakfast: Banana Oat Pancakes and a dessert/snack recipe: Watermelon Pizza.

Why Meal Plan
- Save Time: By deciding what you’ll eat in advance, you can streamline your grocery shopping, cooking, and meal prep. This reduces the need for last-minute trips to the store or ordering takeout. Planning also makes it easier to batch cook, prepare meals in advance and freeze them for future use, which can also save you time.
- Save Money: Having a list of recipes and a grocery list for making these recipes in advance will allow you to be more mindful at the grocery store to avoid too many impulse purchases or wishful items you may or may not decide to prep later. You’re also a lot less likely to get take-out and eat out at restaurants which will also save you money. Additionally, meal planning helps you make the most of ingredients by using them in multiple dishes.
- Improve Nutrition: Planning your meals for the week allows you to make more conscious choices that better fit your health or lifestyle goals. When you plan your meals in advance, you have better control over your ingredients and portion sizes. This makes it easier to incorporate a variety of nutritious foods like vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains into your meals and avoid too many pre-packaged foods.
- Reduce Food Waste: When you plan your meals, you can portion out the right quantities of perishable items and incorporate leftovers into future meals. I also try to provide you with recipes that may have some overlap in ingredients to encourage you to use the same ingredient in multiple ways. It also helps you become more aware of what’s in your pantry and fridge, so you’re less likely to forget about items that may expire.
