Meals To Try In Quarantine!

Eating is many people’s favorite past time, but every once in awhile it’s important to really check what you’re eating. I’m usually pretty good about having healthy dinners, other areas not so much. I hopped onto Pinterest in search of a clean eating meal plan. One thing about me is I cannot stand too many leftovers, so I for sure was not looking for meal prep. I found the perfect 7-day clean eating meal plan that featured breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I used a number of other blogs to figure out snacks.

Honestly, I’m typing what I wrote in my journal of what I ate. But to be transparent some of those days at the end of the week, I do not remember if I ate that because that was when life started to get a little crazy. 

Day 1

Breakfast: Oatmeal, half-eaten because I was running late to class (ahh throwback to when class was in person)

Lunch: Nothing because I had to order groceries this day, not off to the greatest start clearly.

Dinner: Tomato quinoa and tomato, avocado, arugula salad. 

This meal was so much fun to make because I made my own tomato sauce for the first time! It was tasty but in my opinion not something I would make too often. Overall, today was not the best start to my clean eating week, but the meal I did have was tasty. 

Day 2

Breakfast: Yogurt with fruit

Super quick and tasty breakfast, use fresh fruit to jazz up the yogurt!

Lunch: Tomato quinoa

Dinner:  Avocado chicken salad

I love avocado, and this meal plan includes a lot of it! What I liked most about this meal was that I made my own dressing. I know what you buy in the bottle is not usually the healthiest, and making my own dressing had few ingredients. 

Day 3

Breakfast: Fruit Smoothie

I am a smoothie queen! A lot of time I just throw something together. This week I typically used spinach, banana, yogurt, and frozen fruit blends. 

Lunch: Avocado chicken salad

Dinner: Mediterranean bowl

While in NYC I fell in love with CAVA a mediterranean version of Chipotle. So making my own mediterranean bowls at home are a must! This bowl is so good as it includes so many different flavors. 

Day 4

Breakfast: Fruit Smoothie

Lunch: Mediterranean bowl

Dinner: Salmon salad

This meal came by mistake, the original meal was salmon lettuce wraps. I forgot to buy the large leaf lettuce, I opted into making a delicious salad with arugula, asparagus, topped with garlic and lemon. 

Day 5

Breakfast: Fruit Smoothie

Lunch: Salmon salad

Dinner: Chicken fried quinoa

I love making fried rice or quinoa packed with a bunch of veggies. I made bok choy for the first time in this recipe and it turned out great. I accidentally made too much of this recipe and like I said earlier, I’m not a big fan of leftovers! But I will say this meal held up pretty well in the fridge. 

Day 6

Breakfast: Chicken fried quinoa

Lunch: 2 boiled eggs, carrots, cucumber, hummus

This meal might not seem filling to some, but it is so good and will hold you over until your next meal. 

Dinner: Salmon, asparagus, and baked potato

This meal is simple and to the point, but is also packed with flavor. 

Day 7

Breakfast: Fruit Smoothie

Lunch: 2 boiled eggs and cucumber 

Dinner: Asparagus and baked potato 

This weeks meals were delicious and I felt good while eating them. Hoping to add more food content on my blog and channel so get ready! Make some of these during quarantine and let me know how it turns out.
