    Free 7 Day Healthy Meal Plan (March 2-8)

    I don’t know what the weather’s been like where you are, but around here it’s been one word: SNOW! Between the freezing temps and blustery winds, all I want is something warm and cozy that feels like a hug in a bowl.

    Winter makes me crave comfort food,and I love knowing I can enjoy those nostalgic flavors without derailing my goals. Beef, Tomato and Acini di Pepe Soup and Pollo Guisado are two of my all time personal favorites — all the comfort and warmth, and none of the guilt.

    Now if spring could just hurry up and get here, that would be great!

    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!
