Healthy Weekly Meal Plan 7.30.16! A healthy weekly meal plan featuring a Honey Pineapple BBQ Chicken Sandwich, a Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Banh Mi, a Thai Chicken Salad Wrap and more!
Hey guys!
So, I finished the first week of my nutrition class!!! I am learning so much you guys. . I can’t wait to get back home, sit down and start digesting everything I am learning and, most of all, getting into the kitchen to test some new recipes!
If you follow me on snapchat (hipfoodiemom1), you can see what I do at school everyday . . from 9-12, we’re in lecture (I try to snap key slides like the one above) and then we’re in the kitchen cooking from 1-4pm. It’s great! This week we learned about aquafaba!!! Do you guys know what this is?! Amazing!
I am staying with my dear friend, Susie, who lives in Brooklyn, so I take the train everyday into the city. I feel like a real New Yorker! I had a great meeting with this guy, who is my new agent! I am so excited you guys! Look out for some great things ahead!
OK, on to our weekly meal plan!! We’ve got some great recipes this week!!! I hope you give some a try! I’m in NYC for one more week but look out for a great recipe on Monday! Have a great weekend everyone! I’ll be exploring Wiliamsburg, Brooklyn!!!! and hoping to eat at La Esquina!!!
Monday
Honey Pineapple BBQ Chicken Sandwich from Flavor the Moments.
Prep Ahead: The BBQ sauce may be made in advance and the pineapple may also be prepped ahead.
Tuesday
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Banh Mi from greens & chocolate. Doesn’t this look amazing?!!
Prep Ahead: the quick pickled veggies should be made at least a day in advance. The pork marinade can be made in advance.
Wednesday
Thai Chicken Salad Wrap with Blueberries from Spoonful of Flavor.
Prep Ahead: you can grill the chicken ahead of time and then assemble the wraps when ready to eat.
Thursday
Spinach Berry Smoothie from me! I love this smoothie recipe you guys! You have to try this!
Prep ahead: Freeze your ripe bananas beforehand. You can peel and break them into pieces, or slice them up. Throw them into a zip top bag and freeze!
Friday
Mixed Berry Mason Jar Salad from Lauren Kelly Nutrition. I love mason jar salads! These are perfect to pack and bring for lunch!
Prep Ahead: Chop vegetables ahead of time. You can prepare the dressing ahead of time too.
I have to try that no-fish fish sauce recipe. Kenny isn’t into the fish, so that would be perfect. Keep sharing what you learn!
So glad your nutrition class is going well Alice and, of course you are having fun and learning! Love the meal plan, need to try the recipes!
