When it comes to clean eating, planning your meals ahead of time can be a huge help in staying on track. That’s why we’ve put together a delicious menu plan for week 4 that will keep your taste buds happy and your body nourished.
Monday
Start off the week strong with a hearty quinoa salad. In a large bowl, mix together cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, diced bell peppers, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, and cumin for a zesty kick.
Tuesday
For taco Tuesday, try a healthier twist on traditional beef tacos. Brown lean ground turkey and mix with taco seasoning. Serve in whole wheat tortillas with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
Wednesday
Get your seafood fix with a tasty salmon burger. Mix together canned salmon, breadcrumbs, diced onions, and an egg. Form into patties and grill or bake until cooked through. Serve on a whole wheat bun with avocado and a side of sweet potato fries.
Thursday
Warm up on a chilly day with a bowl of chicken noodle soup. Simply saute diced onions, carrots, and celery until soft. Add in diced chicken breast and chicken broth and simmer until the chicken is cooked through. Add in cooked whole wheat noodles and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Friday
Treat yourself to a homemade pizza tonight. Start with a whole wheat crust and top with tomato sauce, sauteed mushrooms and onions, and crumbled goat cheese. Bake until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Saturday
Go meatless with a flavorful lentil and sweet potato curry. In a large pot, cook diced sweet potatoes and onions until softened. Add in cooked lentils, tomato sauce, and a generous amount of curry powder. Simmer until everything is heated through and the flavors have melded together.
Sunday
End the week on a sweet note with a healthy twist on apple crisp. Dice up apples and toss with cinnamon and a bit of honey. Top with a mixture of whole wheat flour, oats, and coconut oil. Bake until golden brown and enjoy with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.
This week of clean eating is sure to leave you feeling energized and satisfied. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
