My husband and I are using Advocare products, and this will be a great addition. Also, will you please send me a recipe list?

Will any of these recipes freeze well? I too would love an ebook recipe book.

Thank you, Melissa-what a super caring person you are! PS — I would also love an email of the recipes as well as the shopping list if possible. So hard to get my family to eat healthily. I would also love an email with a shopping list. My clean eating meal plan is the most popular post on my blog every day.

I love that topic. I love eating clean. I was just searching for a quick link for a friend about how I make lunches and whatnot for the family. I love this meal plan, my kids 3 and 6 will definitely eat this kind of clean dinners. Thanks so much for posting. I can i get a grocery list for this. Love your blog and the yummy recipes! My family is much like yours, we love to eat clean but we are also realistic and enjoy unfortunately sugary treats. We also live in the middle of no where and are on a budget, but we found a great website called greenpolkadotbox.

Just thought I would share! Thanks again for the recipes! That site is great, it was new to me, but the prices seem really great, especially on the nuts. Looking forward to looking more into it! Thank you for making it look so simple!!! Thank you, Pinterest for leading me to this blog! Thank you for being budget and family friendly! Thanks so much Amanda. You just made my day and helped me to remember that not everyone wants to give up everything but kale in the name of health.

I cannot imagine some of the comments. Unnecessary, in my thoughts. People need to appreciate your help more than bash it. Have a great rest of the day, Melissa! Melissa, thank you for this, I adapt it to Scottish seasonal food but my 1 yr old eats everything I give him from this and my husband too and soldiers are hard to please when it comes to healthy food! I want my son to know the joy that is great cake as well as the excitement of in season strawberries and peas — and so far he loves all of those!

How would you edit some of these meals for a single person? So if you are cooking sweet potatoes make enough to mash for a veggie burger for the next day. It will stand you in good stead for family life as well when prepreparing is the only thing between you and a takeaway sometimes! Could you send me the grocery list as well!

Trying to get organized before the school year begins! Thanks for the blot post!! Great for my family— trying to be clean without being neurotic about it; enjoying healthy food without fearing the other stuff; being healthy and budget friendly at the same time- all the good stuff!! Can I I bother you for a grocery list please. Maybe to both plans. I appreciate this more than you know.

It is such s blessing that you share all of this. I would buy your book in a heart beat. Thank you so much. I want affirm you!!! I avoid any artificial sweeteners and rather have real butter or coconut oil instead melted plastic. Can you please send me the grocery list.

Do you have an email that I can send or can you see mine? And yep, I can see emails from my end without anyone else being able to see it! I would also love a copy of the shopping list!

I have trying, unsuccessfully, to get my kids on board with healthy eating. This will be a great way to start! Thanks so much for this! ALS o could I have a copy of the grocery list, too?

Check back in a few weeks and it should be available! Thank you so much for a down-to-earth, basic plan that a regular mom like me can truly attain…without a degree in nutrition or a health food store. You have made clean eating a real possibility for me, rather than a pie-in-the-sky dream! Hello Melissa I would love a shopping list and have you done an Ebola yet?

Eating Clean Meal Plan: Summer Menu

With three dinners left to try, I have to say that this has been awesome! My family which includes a preschooler and toddler has loved everything so far! We have to be realistic. Are you in any type of blogging commenting group? Congrats on your weight loss too friend, your blog was so fun to read! I love this post!! I love your attitude! This is sensible and REAL! Keep up the good work. Thanks for the comment, totally made my night! I found this blog via pintrest. So thanks so much!!! I will be following your blog for sure. Loved your comment about your homemade cookies vs the sugar free jello…a million times yes!!

Such great comments Chrissie! I was just reading an article about an emerging eating disorder when it comes to limiting so much of ones diet and being obsessed with clean foods. It was so sad. Moderation in all things right?! Thanks for writing, it made my night! I want to try this healthy meal plan for me and my family.

What a beautiful philosophy on eating and life! Please send the grocery list for eating clean spring summer menu. I am ready to make changes in my life this will be awesome and fun thank you. I love this post! I think where I get stuck is that I think the food is clean and healthy and so I eat what I want.

The truth is though, real clean healthy food still has calories and you can still over eat, even the good stuff. Hope that helps, good luck Dani! May I please get a grocery list as well??? Can I get a copy of the shopping list too? I have some questions, though. My husband is diabetic and can only have 70 grams of sugar per meal. He must take medication before eating as well. Does anyone think he would be ok eating clean following these recipes, or would he be in danger of exceeding the 70 gram per meal limit?

Oh, and he is possibly the pickiest eater I have ever met! I would love some opinions and guidance on this if anyone would like to share. They are pretty hit and miss. Some of the whole wheat pasta and such would still be quite high in sugar because of the carbs but on the steak canrnita night, if you turned it into a salad or something you might be ok. Thanks for such a great wealth of information! Could you send me your shopping list please??? My mother n law to be and I are doing this pre my wedding. Are we able to get the menu plan? I just happened upon your blog thank you, Pinterest!

I try to follow the same approach because it is really important to me that my kids have a healthy, well-balanced relationship with food. I am so excited to try some of your recipes, thanks for sharing! The recipes look yummy! I would appreciate a copy of your grocery list. Is your e book out yet?! I would love to buy it or be sent your grocery list along with the million others on here too haha keep up the great work!

Hello, new at this clean eating thing and my family and I really need it. I just had a baby and started working out again but I never get the eating clean part so I end up starving myself. It helped me feel better about eating. Could I also get a copy of your grocery list? Congrats on the baby Sandra! Food makes the biggest difference for me when it comes to loosing weight! I have to workout a million hours or decide to eat well. This is such an amazing post! I have spent literally hours online researching clean eating meal plans and recipies and most of them seem so costly and unrealistic!

Truely great post, thank you!!! Love your site and love this post. Been clean eating for a year now and I love the way I feel. Whenever you get a chance may I get a copy of this shopping list?

I would love it if you also had a shopping list.. This is where I want to be! The link to is is at the beginning of this post! Hi, I think this is very inspiring, but I was puzzled by the lack of fish in the plan.

The link to it is on the sidebar and in the first paragraph of this post! Thank you so much for your post. Thanks again and happy ! Will be using it in my next week of meal planning…. Hi, could youy email me that grocery list, please? Just found your blogs, love the topic! Pull out some chicken before adding the curry and other seasoning, toss the beans with a touch of butter and salt instead of roasting, and serve with the saffron rice in the recipe.

Start by making changes to your environment beginning with the pantry and refrigerator. Then, restock with lots of healthy items such as portable yogurt sticks, fresh fruit, cheese sticks, whole-grain pretzels, baby carrots, and hummus. Remember to introduce changes slowly and gradually. Introducing healthy habits now will positively impact your kids long-term health or weight. Avoid this by repackaging snacks into single serving portions as soon as you buy them, and storing leftovers in individual serving containers so they may be taken for lunch the next day.

Another portion tip is to serve meals from the stove where you can measure your portions rather than family-style at the table. Get a customized diet plan and daily reminders to keep you on track. Support for vegetarian, gluten free, ingredient exclusions, and more. Now with Progress Tracker: This makes planning in advance for the week absolutely essential, especially for a busy parent trying to lose weight.

Schedule reminders in your phone or calendar to defrost frozen items the day before you need them. People accept changes best when they are small and gradual. A great way to introduce small, healthy changes to your family is to take recipes that your family already loves and look for ways to make them healthier.

For preschoolers, let them pick a new fruit or vegetable to try each time you go to the grocery. Have them name all the colors in the produce section and practice counting the produce. For early elementary kids, make a chart for each day of the week and give a sticker for fruit and vegetable eaten and check out the activity sheets and games available for kids on ChooseMyPlate. Or, try growing a vegetable or herb together and then finding a recipe to use it in and prepare.

Check out our Kitchen Garden Cookbook to get started. The easiest way to get kids to try new foods and recipes is to involve them in the cooking process. Letting them help with simple tasks gives them ownership over this new dish, and they are much more likely to eat the new food. Check out these age-appropriate kitchen tasks for ideas.
