7 Day Healthy Meal Plan
I can’t believe it’s almost Memorial Day!! This year is flying by! I am looking forward to warm weather and BBQ’s with friends and family this weekend. Whether you are hosting or traveling- here are some of my favorites! For an appetizer try my Watermelon Caprese Salad, for a side my Chilled Italian Shrimp Tortellini Salad, for a main, my Easy Inside Out Turkey Cheeseburgers and of course for dessert my Red, White and Blueberry Trifle. No matter what food you make, take time to make memories with those you love! Have a happy and safe weekend!

A note about WW Personal Points:
I no longer provide points since they vary on the new Weight Watchers plans but I do provide links to WW Personal points recipe builder for all recipes. Look for the orange button in the recipe card says my WW personal points. Click on that and it takes you to the Weight Watchers website where you can see the WW points and add it to your day (US only, you must be logged into your account). All cookbook recipes in the cookbook index are also updated!
About The Meal Plan
If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc. or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. Depending on your goals, you should aim for at least 1500 calories* per day. There’s no one size fits all, this will range by your goals, your age, weight, etc.
There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.
Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing! If you wish to get on the email list, you can subscribe here so you never miss a meal plan!
