I’ve been using this meal plan for a couple weeks now. It seems to really work for what I’m doing this summer. I have an outdoor summer job so I wanted something I could easily pack and eat, and sandwiches just weren’t my thing. So I opted for this Disneyland inspired salad! Check out the full details of this week’s plan below to get some meal prep ideas for yourself.

Morning Routine:
When I first wake up in the morning I take my Plexus VitalBiome (to help with my IBS and depression symptoms – it’s seriously amazing) and then I lay in bed for 30 mins on social media/reading. Then I get ready and take my Plexus BioCleanse (also super amazing). After that I mix up my Plexus slim and drink it while I walk around the neighborhood for about 30 mins.
After my walk I eat my overnight oats that I mixed up the night before. This weeks flavor – Cookie Dough! It honestly baffles my mind how peanut butter can taste so much like cookie dough! To make this I take a glass jar and mix 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 almond milk (you can use whatever kind of milk), 2 tsp chia seeds, 1/2 tbsp Adams creamy peanut butter, and a splash of syrup (or honey), mix it all together and let it sit till morning. Then right before I eat it I mix about 1/2 tbsp of chocolate chips. It’s literally so good and filling!
Then on my way to work I’ll drink a 310 chocolate shake. I love their shakes, they’re plant based and full of probioitics which I’m always down for. Plus, it’s creamy and doesn’t taste like plants like other proteins do. Somedays I’ll drink this before I leave the house and eat the overnight oats a little later – but it just depends on what I’m doing.
Lunch:
For lunch this week I made a Disneyland inspired salad with chicken, cranberries, green apples, and walnuts. You could also add cheese, but I was eating some later in the day and I try to limit my dairy intake. I added edamame because I don’t love eating edamame plain, but it’s a great source of protein. I’m not a huge fan of dressing anymore so I just squeezed 1/2 a lemon onto the salad to give it some moisture and a fresh taste – such a better alternative to ranch LOL.
Snack:
Around 2:30/3:00 is when I like to eat an afternoon snack, but I’m usually coming home from work or running errands so I wanted something easy to pack and take with me. This week I went with a banana, 1 cup of grapes, and a Babybel cheese wheel. Those things are incredibly addicting so it’s hard not to eat more than 1!
Dinner:
This week I ate 2 Alaskan Pollock Burger Patties (From costco). I typically eat chicken so I just wanted to mix it up a bit this week. I made some cauliflower rice and asparagus to eat with it, but some days that was too filling so I would just eat the fish. (Somedays 2 patties were way too much too). But still, one of my favorite ways to do fish honestly.
After Workout:
I usually plan a meal in the evenings after my workout – but sometimes my workouts happen during random times of the day. This week I did egg muffins with some turkey sausage and red peppers in them. The muffins are cute, but honestly it’s way easier to just mix the eggs and stuff up and pour it into an 8×8 pan and cook it that way. Then it all cooks evenly and you can just cut it into as many pieces as you need.
