4-Week Healthy Meal Plan #2 with Grocery List

This 4-Week Healthy Meal Plan features simple and delicious meals the whole family will love. It’s the perfect way to freshen up your dinner menu and fuel your body right. It’s FREE to everyone and includes a grocery list for each week.

This free meal plan was created in partnership with the Minnesota Beef Council and the Minnesota Pork Board.

PLUS to make it even better, we’ve teamed up with our favorite fitness trainer who put together a 4-Week Workout Challenge that includes a new workout for each day (minimal equipment needed, less than 45 minutes!), full-length videos for you to follow along and workouts that can be completed in the comfort of your own home! No gym membership required. Get all of the details, download links, and more in the post below.

What is the 4-Week Healthy Meal Plan?

The 4-Week Meal Plan is just like it sounds. A FREE 4-week meal plan that includes some of our most popular real food recipes plus a done-for-you grocery list created by our team of registered dietitians.

How Does The Free 4-Week Healthy Meal Plan Work?

We’ve planned 4 healthy, delicious dinners for you to make each week in whatever way works best for you – whether that’s a weekend meal prep or making the recipe start to finish each of the four days. Each week comes with a done-for- you grocery list. We also give you suggestions for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Feel free to take our suggestions and add the ingredients you’ll need to your grocery list, or browse our Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, and Snacks pages for even more ideas.

We know that putting a delicious, healthy meal on the table every night of the week can be a real challenge so we’ve kept this meal plan realistic with just 4 dinners and room to incorporate leftovers, a meal from the freezer, or takeout (because we all like a break from cooking once in a while). Feel free to move days around, double a recipe or two so you have more leftovers, or swap out some of the recipes altogether to use your family’s favorites.

On Sunday’s it’s “Build Your Own Meal (BYOM)” night. We encourage you to use what you have on hand or what needs to be used up from the week. Fill half your plate with veggies, a quarter with protein, and the final quarter with carbohydrate-rich foods like fruit, rice, sweet potatoes, etc. We also like to make sure to add a source of healthy, satisfying fats such as olive oil, some avocado, nuts, or cheese.

Tips For Following The Plan

Take inventory of what you have on hand. This is an important step to take before you head to the grocery store. Note: many of the items on the grocery list are staple items like oils and seasonings. Add any additional items you need for the week.
Plan when you’ll use leftovers, meals from the freezer, or takeout or delivery for dinner during the week.
Double freezer-friendly recipes for meals later in the month – your future self will thank you!
Choose breakfasts, lunches, and snacks that are simple, made with real food ingredients, and something you don’t mind repeating throughout the week. We do provide suggestions, but if you have a favorite breakfast, lunch, and/or snack by all means choose what will serve you best.
Plan an hour or two to meal prep. We like to prep the ingredients just up to the point of cooking so that when we’re ready to make dinner, the bulk of the work is done yet you still get a freshly cooked meal to enjoy. To do this, review the recipes and pre-chop vegetables, get the meat thawing, make sauces and dressings, and make any snacks you plan to enjoy throughout the week. This is a great task to tackle on a Sunday and will save you a considerable amount of time during the week
