A Healthy Weekly Meal Plan with seasonal summer recipes that use the Instant Pot (or alternate cooking method) for quick and easy meals! This meal plan has breakfast, lunch, and 5 dinner ideas to plan your week. 21 Day Fix Containers, WW points, and a weekly meal planning spreadsheet included, too.
Healthy Meal Plan
Berries and peaches are the inspo this upcoming week with a few recipes using these shared summer ingredients. I’m drooling thinking about the Instant Pot Chicken Carnitas with Avocado Peach Salsa and Peachy Goat Cheese Flatout Pizza plus Berry Chicken Salad for lunch and Coffee Cake Baked Oatmeal with either a side of peaches or berries for breakfast. YUM!
We are also utilizing the Instant Pot for a bunch of the recipes, in light of the recent heat wave so many of us have been experiencing! Don’t worry, if you don’t have an instant pot (but also, why not?!), there are alternate cooking directions on the recipes too!
For lunch, Berry Chicken Salad is not an exact recipe found on the site, but uses the simple Strawberry Balsamic Dressing. It’s also DELISH with blueberries or whatever berry you have on hand. For the salad, I’m drizzling the dressing over grilled chicken, spinach or mixed greens, cucumbers, matchstick carrots, more berries, and feta or goat cheese. FIXers- just watch your blue on the hamburger helper day – you will need to skip the cheese!

When I meal plan I always start by planning my dinners. Then breakfast, then lunch. And finally, I fill in my snacks for the day with my remaining macros, points, or containers.
Healthy Snack Ideas | 21 Day Fix Snacks this post is a great way to get ideas for the containers, points, or macros you have leftover after you plan the rest of your day!
It’s still important to follow the 21 Day Fix plan on Saturdays and Sundays for optimal results, but you will likely have leftover meals and ingredients after following this healthy weekly meal plan. And, so, to eliminate food waste, take inventory of your fridge and pantry at the end of the week and create a plan for the weekend. Many people like to get some healthy takeout one night – think yummy salads with grilled protein or a slice of veggie pizza – and we have this helpful Healthy Weekend Meals post to help you even more!
