This week’s gluten-free Healthy Meal Plan includes six nutrient-dense, clean dinner recipes and one delicious dessert! Print out the grocery list to snag all your groceries for the week in one trip!
Clean comfort food is the name of the game for this week’s meal plan!
From cozy soups, to a meatless entrée, to easy skillet meals, this week’s healthy meal plan is full of variety and all sorts of flavor!
Plus, our dessert this week is easy enough to whip up on any night of the week, yet decadent enough to share for special occasions (like Valentine’s Day!!).
If you’re looking for side dishes to add to any of these meals, I recommend my Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan and Lemon, Rustic Minestrone Soup with Rice and Kale, and Sauteed Brussel Sprouts with Butter and Garlic.
Also, if you didn’t catch my Oatmeal Protein Pancakes or my Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Muffins, I recommend them for a tasty healthy weekend treat!
And now for the food! I hope you enjoy this week’s meal plan.
As always, let me know if you have any questions or requests. xo

MONDAY:
Roasted Butternut Squash and Chicken Spinach Salad – A delicious, filling healthy spinach salad with butternut squash, chicken, pecans, apples, golden raisins and cinnamon maple cider vinaigrette. Perfect for fall and winter!
