Save, print, pin, email — whatever! — the meal plan below.
You can repeat one breakfast, one lunch, one dinner, and one snack all week long to make things easy. Or, do what we like to do, and cook a few meals 2-3 days in a row and then switch meals out for fresh recipes. If you’re ambitious (or get bored easily) try a new combination daily.
Repeating meals — especially breakfast and lunch — day-to-day makes healthy eating easier. Our best advice is to prep a few portions of breakfast and lunch together to grab on-the-go in the mornings on the way to work, school, or your other daily obligations.
Make cooking easier and more enjoyable
Food doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious and nutritious. Adding seasoning and spices to your meals works wonders — plus they have incredible health benefits such as antioxidant properties and a plethora of vitamins and minerals. We highly suggest adding your favorite spices (i.e. basil, rosemary, oregano, turmeric, cinnamon, etc.) to the recipes on your 10 minutes or less meal plan. We also encourage seasonings such as vinegar, mustard, lime, lemon, and hot sauce, all of which are low in calories.
Here is some inspiration:
Banana & almond yogurt on bread topped with cinnamon and nutmeg
Broccoli, apple & walnut salad drizzled with apple cider vinegar, mixed herb, and mustard dressing
Hummus, carrots & walnuts improved with red pepper, garlic powder, and salt in the hummus (get a recipe)
Another pro tip: Reduce cost and food waste by using what’s already in your kitchen. Most vegetables can be replaced by others — and never be shy to add extra veggies they are low in calories and high in nutrients. Fresh fruits like apples, pears, citrus, and berries can also be swapped for one another. In addition to fresh produce, nuts and seeds can be interchanged with a 1:1. If you’re vegan, we have even more swaps for you here.
10 minutes or less to make your day great again
If you’re not able to commit to a whole new meal plan, no problem! Every step is a step in the right direction. Thank and congratulate yourself for taking the first steps and always remember to start with small goals such as introducing one meal per day. We recommend that you start with breakfasts and snacks.
