Whole 30 Meal Plan Week #2

As I said in last week’s Whole 30 meal plan post I started the Whole30 Challenge on August 1, and I’ve now made it almost 17 days! It’s going well enough, but planning is essential to make this go smoothly or to have anything to eat at all!

This week, I’m going shopping early Sunday morning (when there are no crowds), and I’ll be prepping as much food as possible for the whole week on Sunday evening. That way meals throughout the week will be much quicker and easier.

What to Prep on Sunday:
Fry up ground chicken w/ taco seasoning (freeze, and remove Mon night)
Fry up some ground chicken for soup
Marinate chicken thighs with chili lime marinade
Marinate chicken with citrus marinade (freeze and remove on Tuesday)
Marinate chicken with garlic lime marinade (freeze for future use)
Chop and freeze onions
Peel and thinly slice some sweet potatoes – put in cold water in refrigerator
Boil some whole sweet potatoes until partially cooked; remove skins; grate; freeze some and put some in cold water in refrigerator
Freeze banana slices (for banana “ice cream” snack)

Breakfast, each day: Scrambled eggs with chopped up peppers and spinach maybe some sweet potato hash browns, one serving of fruit.

Monday
Lunch: Leftover Italian Sausage, Potato, and Pepper Skillet and Green Beans
Dinner: Chile Lime Chicken Thighs (grilled), Grilled Veggies

Wednesday
