Meal Plan #03
Being an adult means having to think of what to make for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the rest of your life… but now you found me! Here’s a full 7 day dinner plan with recipes + breakfast, lunch, snack ideas, and a printable grocery list.
I focus on keeping things balanced by making sure every plate has the essentials: protein, carbs, healthy fats, and colorful veggies. It’s a simple formula that keeps meals satisfying, nourishing, and easy to throw together, even on busy nights.
