Weekly Meal Plans for September 2020

Hello lovely readers. Last month I shared my weekly meal plans. I have found it’s helpful for me to have our meals documented for future reference. This is a new lifestyle for me and my family to stay on track with eating healthy. Each weekend I cook up all of our meals for the week and prepare the snacks that I planned to have. We eat 6 small (portion size) meals a day consisting of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 3 little snacks in between. We also drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Let me share what I have planned for the month of September. Here is the menu:

Breakfast-
1. Smoothie Packs- Each mixture is placed in 3 different gallon size Ziploc bags (these will be consumed 3 times each week using Kefir, protein powder, flax and/or chia seeds, fresh Spinach, and fruits like bananas, strawberries, berry blend, mango, and papaya (or whatever is on sale during the month).

2. Banana French Toast sticks (served with Maple Syrup, Canadian Bacon, and fresh fruit. We will eat these twice during the week.)
