Hope everyone’s having a great weekend! Time seems to be flying by, I can’t believe next Sunday is Easter! With that in mind, I planned some meals for the week and I’m leaving the weekend open as I am not sure what I’m making yet.
This is week 21 of sharing my weekly dinner plans. I use The Skinnytaste Meal Planner pictured below to plan my dinners for the week (you can of course use any meal planner).
A 52-week meal planner, food tracker and exercise tracker in one. I’ve included the Smart Points next to the recipes since I am currently on Weight Watchers. Also, if you have The Skinnytaste Cookbook, and currently on Weight Watchers, I have all the Smart Points listed here for your convenience.
Meal planning is a great way to get organized before heading to the supermarket to get ready for the week! My breakfast is usually something quick like eggs with fruit, a smoothie or avocado toast. We’re a family of four, so if a recipe serves more, it’s either packed up for everyone’s lunch or eaten the next day as leftovers.

These are incredible! I love that you have included a shopping list as well. I have a very hard time with meal planning…I'll do great for a week, and then I will do horribly the next week. Good week, bad week. Lather, rinse, repeat. I basically cancel each week with a bad week, and then I wonder why my weight loss has stalled!
I have never had anything bad of all the recipes I have made by Skinnytaste. I am definitely interested in giving these meal plans a try!
I came up with a super easy meal planning hack that I shared on my blog. I linked to your blog as one of the main blogs I come to for recipe Ideas. 🙂
