How hot is it at the moment? I am so hot despite working next to an open window so please forgive any silly mistakes, it will be the crazy heat getting to my head! With the heat in mind, I have tried to make this healthy summer meal plan full of the sort of meals I like when it is like this. It is not all salad either as there is only so much salad anyone wants isn’t there!
So, grab a cold drink and have a read and see if this is a meal plan you would like to follow. Don’t forget for a printable version you can subscribe to my emails to be part of the meal planning library and you even get ready-made shopping lists too!
If this isn’t the meal plan for you then do check out my other ready-made meal plans.
The best way to enjoy this meal plan is to prepare what you can in advance to just reheat. If you bulk cook when you have the oven on anyway it allows more time to relax!
Another important thing to enjoy this meal plan is to remember that you can have snacks and it is ok in moderation. Eating healthily in the long term is, of course, important but you can’t resist treats forever.
Need snacks?
If reading this has made you hungry and you just want to click and order some tasty snacks then remember that you can get past this by finding something else to do.
Plan snacks for the next few days that fall within your plan using my guides. Perfect if you have a chocolate craving or just fancy a nibble!
There are many ideas in my snacks ideas guide and if you are peckish.
Remember next week though to add some snacks to your meal plan so you can stay as on track as possible.
