This Healthy Weekly Meal plan features healthy meals that are paleo, keto, or whole30 friendly (or easy to adapt as such). The perfect clean eating meal plan that is budget-friendly and tasty to boot!
First new Meal Plan of 2024!
Whether you’re looking for quick and healthy meals or a meal plan that fits a specific diet, I trust you’ll find what you need here.
This easy healthy weekly meal plan can be adapted to fit your dietary needs if it doesn’t do so already. We have included suggestions on how to prepare the recipes so that they are paleo, keto, or whole30 compliant.
I find building my meals around protein and fiber (vegetables) is a surefire way of ensuring I stay full and satisfied while keeping mealtime health-conscious.
The best part about this meal plan is how flavorful all the dishes are while remaining nutritious and cost-effective. We have a couple of main entrees only, so you can always serve them with your favorite side dishes.
If you’re looking for some nutritious side dishes to enjoy with your meals throughout the week, here are some of my favorites.
- Big Batch Roasted Vegetables
- Maple Roasted Carrots with Feta and Dried Cranberries
- Caramelized Cabbage with Bacon
- Pear Apple Avocado Spinach Salad
- Air Fryer Green Beans
- Shredded Brussel Sprouts Salad with Roasted Sweet Potatoes

SUNDAY:
5-Ingredient Crock Pot Mexican Shredded Chicken – The easiest shredded chicken recipe you’ll ever make! Use it for for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and more! This simple recipe turns out perfectly tender and flavorful.
Special Diet: Use a paleo-friendly enchilada sauce such as Natalie’s Whole30 Enchilada Sauce to make the recipe paleo friendly and whole30 friendly.
Prep Ahead: While nothing needs to be prepared in advance, this whole recipe saves very well. Make 1-3 days ahead of time for the tastiest results!
Substitutions/Notes: Use any kind of enchilada sauce or salsa you enjoy. You can turn this into a chile verde chicken recipe by using green enchilada sauce and green salsa.
MONDAY:
Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup – Not just another butternut squash soup recipe! Butternut squash and sweet potatoes come together in a delicious soup with southwest flavors and a fun little garnish.
Special Diet Notes: Recipe is gluten free. For a low-carb soup recipe, make my Creamy Cauliflower Soup.
Prep Ahead: Vegetables can be roasted a day or two ahead of time.
Substitutions/Notes: Use coconut cream in place of heavy cream to make this dairy free. Omit the bacon if you’d like it to be vegetarian and the corn if you’d like it to be paleo-friendly.

Thai Green Curry Zoodles with Shrimp & Broccoli – This quick weeknight meal is a knock off of the Noodles & Co. Thai Green Curry with Zoodles. Natalie loves the little bits of pineapple dotted throughout the dish.
Special Diet Notes: Recipe is paleo as is.
Prep Ahead: To save time, you can spiralize the zucchini and cut the pineapple a day or two ahead.
Substitutions/Notes: Use any other kind of Thai curry paste you like. Red or Yellow would be good here as well. You could also add some pre cooked chicken in place of the shrimp and swap out vegetables for ones that have a similar cooking time.
