The holidays have come and gone, and between the Christmas cookies and New Year's champagne, you've likely indulged in some tasty treats over the last few months. Well, 2019 has arrived, which means it's time to clean up our eating habits. We know how stressful and overwhelming meal planning and meal prep can be, so we've called upon our tried-and-true iFit dietitians to do the hard work for you! To get you started, they've put together a 14-day meal plan that's filled with delicious recipes. With our meal plan, each day's worth of food will land you at about 1,500 calories with lots of protein and fiber, so you will feel satisfied and satiated (and not hangry...we promise!) Even better, these recipes are all jam-packed with vitamins, nutrients, and a lot of delicious flavor. At iFit, we strongly believe that healthy eating does not have to mean bland and boring, so we promise that no limp broccoli or flavorless chicken breast will make an appearance in this guide! What you'll be getting is two weeks of balanced recipes that focus on whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. We also included a weekly menu (with snacks), shopping lists, and recipes to make following this guide simple and easy. Our dietitians are also moms and know how important it is to eat together as a family. We don't want our clients making two dinners every night, so the recipes are family friendly. With items like Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli, your family will be eating healthier and loving every bite. While this is a 2-week guide, we don't expect these recipes or this way of eating to be short lived. This is to help you practice meal prepping, balancing your meals, and making healthy snacking choices. You will also notice that we often use dinner leftovers as lunch the next day. This is a great practice to avoid food waste, money waste, and too much time in the kitchen—win, win, win! Whether you're a novice or an experienced cook, these recipes are easy to follow, healthy, delicious, and will be great additions to your recipe box. (Click image to download) Enjoy and happy cooking!
