Weekly Healthy Meals & Menu Plan. Starting the New Year Right
The goal of this meal plan is to help get you back on track after holiday over eating. I have already shared an "After Thanksgiving" meal plan, and this is similar but with a focus on reducing snacks & sugar plus incorporating more vegetables & beans. I'm following this plan myself this week and posting daily recaps + pictures over at my personal blog Girlxoxo.com.
Breakfast: Oat Bran + 1 Apple (or Breakfast Oats with Pears).

Saturday & Sunday: Waffles topped with Fruit Preserves and Yogurt.

Lunch
Mon: Open faced tuna sandwich (2 slices) + Baked Beans.
Tue: Whole Wheat Pita Pocket stuffed with grilled chicken (cubed), lettuce and any other veggies you have on hand (here's a recipe from Taste of Home though you really don't need one) + Pacific Natural Foods Organic Creamy Tomato Light Sodium Soup (1 serving)
Wed: Cubano Panini + Salad

Thu: Tuscan Salad Wrap
Fri: Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli + Birds Eye Steamfresh Asian Medley Frozen Vegetables
Sat: Morningstar Farms Veggie Tomato and Basil Pizza Burger + fresh salad.
Sun: Seeds of Change Venetian Penne Marinara + baked sweet potato.
Dinner
Mon: Curry Chicken with Potatoes + Pictsweet Steam'ables Baby Green and Yellow Whole Beans With Baby Carrots

Tue: Baked Salmon + Sweet Potato and Quinoa Salad
Wed: Shrimp stir-fry with broccoli, sugar snap peas and carrots (make a huge serving so you'll be full - this is a low calorie meal so you can have a lot).
Thu: Roast Pork + Pinto Bean Salad with Avocado, Tomatoes, Red Onion, and Cilantro
Fri: Pork & Vegetables Tostadas
Sat: Black Bean Enchiladas
Sun: Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili (recipe by The Green Bite).
Snacks
* Protein shake (everyday) - make it a mid-afternoon snack.
* Popcorn (try Jolly Time Healthy Pop 100 Calorie Kettle Corn)
* Fruit
* O'Cocos chocolate Crisps

What's in your afternoon protein shake?
Hey Tracey - right now I'm kinda in between shakes. I've been drinking or mixing MetRX Protein Plus Powder (Vanilla) into a spinach smoothie: spinach + 1/2 banana + almond milk (1/2 cup) + cranberries (1/4 cup).
Thanks Tanya,sounds good!
