Healthy Meal Plans To Give A Try This Summer

Summer is the time for hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream, pies, funnel cakes, and more! Not to mention the summer cocktails that are just too cute to pass up. While summer is the season for going out to the beach and running around at carnivals and hikes, it can be hard to burn off all of the delicious foods and drinks that summer loves to provide for us. If you are looking to stay healthy this summer, here are some healthy meal plans to give a try this season!

7 Day Clean Eating Meal Plan

When it comes to starting off eating healthy, you don’t want to dive in and cut out all of the fats and sugars you think are bad for you. To start summer off right, try this week long plan that is filled with plenty of delicious foods such as avocados, almond butter, sun dried-tomatoes, and more. This meal plan has everything planned out from breakfast, lunch, and dinner. As an example, day 1 of this meal plan is plant/vegetarian based. This meal plan also tells you just the ingredients you need and how to use then. For breakfast, you will be able to enjoy a nice oat-based meal that’ll make your skin glow. For lunch, a Mediterranean bowl that will keep you feeling energized, and for dinner, a delicious tomato and basil risotto alongside a tomato and avocado arugula salad.

7-Day Plants Based Meal Plan

This meal plan will truly make your body thankful that you gave it a try. While it may be hard to go without meat for a short while, this meal plan will surely do its best to make you feel like you aren’t missing out flavor wise, but you surely won’t be missing out nutrition wise. A plant-based diet obviously will contain loads of vegetables and fruits, giving you the proper source of vitamins and minerals.  This meal plan will also include whole grains that will be there to give you the right amount of fiber you need. When it comes to protein, this meal plan plans to provide you the proper amount of protein in all of the lentils, chickpeas, bean and quinoa it will give you!

30-Day Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan

While this meal plan may take a little more commitment, it will be well worth it by the end of it. This meal plan is full of so much flavor and nutritious ingredients. This meal plan only lets you eat 1,200 calories a day while still filling you up all the way. While this healthy meal plan has the word “diet” in the title, it’s not restrictive in the slightest when it comes to the food it provides. If you like a wide variety of different kinds of foods, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, fish, and white bread, then this is just the meal plan for you.

Vegan 31 Day Whole Food Meal Plan

If you are looking for a healthy meal plan that is packed with fresh produce and plant-based recipes, then this is the meal plan for you! The goal for this meal plan is to avoid extra sugars and anything that will cause inflammation. This month, you will be eating a ton of vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, seeds, and avoiding meats, eggs, honey, grains, and anything artificial.

7-Day Keto Diet Meal Plan

If you haven’t tried going keto before, then I’d highly recommend  it. This meal plan includes red meat, steak, bacon, fatty fishes such as salmon, trout, and tuna. You can even eat eggs (specifically pastured ones) butter and cream, cheese, nuts and seeds, and healthy oils such as coconut and avocado oil. As you can tell, this meal plan is quite loose when it comes to what you can eat, but that doesn’t mean that it lacks in all the right amount of nutrition you’ll need in the week long meal plan. For example, in day 1 of this meal plan, for breakfast they’ll want you to eat their keto over easy egg salad, for lunch some spicy chicken saute tossed with avocado, and for dinner, some mini zucchini avocado burgers!

28-Day Meal Plan

This meal plan is probably my favorite on this list. This meal plan includes many of our favorites things, such as greek egg muffins for breakfast, skinny chicken bacon ranch wraps for lunch, and easy black bean soup with avocado for dinner. Not to mention this meal plan also gives you the option to snack at any point during the day. You can either eat an apple, 1/4 cup of almonds, and tuna salad stuffed avocado. This meal plan emphasizes the saying that “dieting should never be synonymous with starving.” If you want to lose weight or simply just want to eat healthy this summer, then focusing your time on this meal plans will do just that. This meal plan incorporates lean proteins, healthy fats, and just the right amount of carbs!

Summer is the season for all types of sugary and fatty foods, as well as those watermelon cocktails at a fancy bbq or a cold beer at a football game. It can be hard to stay healthy over this summer, especially when we convince ourselves we’re burning everything off anyway as we walk around in the sweltering sun. But don’t fret, with these healthy meal plans to try, you will be able to stay on track when it comes to your body’s health. What did you think of these healthy meal plans?
