• Dr. Jannine Krause’s Meal Planning Tips
o Make a grocery list – shop yourself or online to pick up or have food delivered; Kroger Click List
• Spend 20 minutes gathering recipes
• Keep your meal plans so you can rotate them
• 5 breakfasts, lunches and dinners = 15 meals per person for Monday – Friday Meals
• 1 lb ground/breasts turkey, chicken, fish or beef = 4 – 4 oz servings
• 10 lunches and dinners – 2 lbs of meat = 8 meals and if you make 2 more chicken breasts you have 10 meals
• Snacks – cut up veggies, home made dips or piece of fruit or cup of fruit with ¼ cup raw or sprouted nuts/seeds
o Set aside 90 minutes for meal prep weekly
o Get a crock pot, make sheet pan meals, make breakfast casseroles or dinner casseroles, make soups or stews
o Sometimes I eat breakfast foods for lunch or dinner too
o Example of Last Sunday’s Meal Prep:
o I made a Maple Dijon Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner – I subbed out 2 tbsp of avocado oil for non-stick spray, brussel sprouts for kale, quinoa instead of pasta and used coconut aminos vs soy sauce.
o Crock Pot Italian Wedding Soup with Kale vs Spinach – I subbed out the pre-made meat balls for ground turkey that I sauteed prior to putting it in the crock pot.
o Creative breakfast casserole – no bread or dairy
o Extra 2 lb butternut squash roasted for 8 extra servings for lunches and dinners throughout the week
o 6 portions of quinoa and 6 portions of rice – 1 cup cooked each for lunches or dinners throughout the week
