Easy Meal Plans for Healthy Eating: Slender Kitchen

January 4, 2022   6 Comments

Are you tired of asking yourself, "What am I going to make for dinner?"

My cookie consumption reached new highs over the holidays and I am looking for solutions. My friend, Kristen, came up with one that works -Slender Kitchen Meal Plans.

The meal plan concept is simple and powerful. Every week, Kristen sends you a meal plan - you shop and cook the meals. The meals are healthy, easy, and have all the nutrition information including milligrams of sodium AND SmartPoints for those using WW.

You can sign up here - -Slender Kitchen Meal Plans for either $8 per month or $48 for the year ($4 per month). Both subscriptions include a 14 day money back guarantee.

Until January 14th, 2022 - All Meal Plans are 25% off!! The code for the sale is: NY2022

The meal plans include options:

• For healthy, low carb, or vegetarian eaters
• To customize number of servings you plan to cook
• To choose the meals you need to make for the week

You can go with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks or you can do what I did and make 4 dinners with 6 servings each. My family of four typically takes a serving of dinner to lunch so I frequently cook more dinner than we eat for leftovers.

If you don’t like a meal that Kristen has included – you can choose another recipe or add your own. You can also create your own meal plan from the large library of recipes she has created.

What I love about Slender Kitchen Meal Plans is that I don’t have to think. I print out the shopping list (and it is organized so my trip to the store is shorter), and cook the recipes after work throughout the week. Done. The recipes are diverse and delicious so it gets me out of my cooking rut!

My family has enjoyed most of the new dishes we are eating and my kids are trying more vegetables. The one pan lemon garlic chicken and asparagus below is a standard in our house. I love any dish that uses one pan, breaded chicken, and asparagus so I couldn’t lose when I made it for our family.

(My son did complain that his pee was stinky but what are you gonna do?)
