This Trader Joe’s meal plan from Carrie Gabriel, MS, RDN<\/a>, is one you’ll want to print for your fridge.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

When it comes to eating healthy foods, the optimal choice is to buy groceries<\/a> and cook for yourself. If you find that to be challenging, I’m here to help!<\/p>\n\n\n

Here’s my shopping list for a budget-friendly Trader Joe’s meal plan to eat healthily through even the busiest work week.<\/p>\n\n\n

A Dietitian’s 5-Day Trader Joe’s Meal Plan + Shopping List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"5-Day<\/figure>\n\n\n

Why I chose This Meal Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n

In general, I see people most satisfied by their meals<\/a> if each one includes a lean protein<\/a>, a healthy fat, a complex carbohydrate, and a vegetable.<\/p>\n\n\n

Whole grains are going to contain the fiber<\/a> that helps keep you fuller for longer periods of time while maintaining optimal digestion<\/a>. Healthy fat will also add flavor and keep you satiated and energized. A lean protein is ideal to maintain weight and develop and sustain muscles. Vegetables are great for these same reasons, and also contain crucial vitamins and minerals our bodies need.<\/p>\n\n\n

Meal Planning Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n

First, always plan out your meals ahead of time. Meal planning<\/a> gives you a clear idea of the ingredients you actually need instead of what just sounds good in the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n

Planning meals in advance not only saves you money<\/a> and time, but it helps you waste less food by realizing you can use ingredients in multiple ways.<\/p>\n\n\n

Finally, customize your list based on what you<\/em> like to eat. If you don\u2019t like quinoa and black beans, you certainly don\u2019t have to buy them. Just make sure you have all your bases covered by including complex carbohydrates, healthy fats<\/a>, lean proteins, and fresh produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trader Joe’s Meal Plan Recipes<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n

Here’s how to prep the items listed above:<\/p>\n\n\n

Chicken Thighs<\/h3>\n\n\n

Heat oven to broil. Place foil or parchment in a baking pan and lay out the chicken thighs. Season with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like. Cook in the oven for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ground Turkey<\/h3>\n\n\n

Add two tablespoons of olive or avocado oil to a skillet at medium heat. Add the ground turkey. Turn the heat up to high. Add a half teaspoon each of salt and pepper, plus any other seasonings you like. Stir until the color goes from pink to brown (about five minutes) and remove from heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egg Muffins<\/h3>\n\n\n

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together six eggs, a quarter cup of almond milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add in a quarter cup of feta, one cup of spinach, and stir. Pour the egg mixture into nonstick six-muffin tray and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the cups are solid and slightly brown on top.<\/p>\n\n\n

Oatmeal Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the banana in a bowl and mash with a fork. Add two eggs, a three-quarter cup of almond milk, a quarter cup of maple syrup, and one teaspoon of vanilla. Stir until well combined. Next, add two cups of oats, one cup of frozen blueberries, a half cup of flour, one teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of cinnamon. Mix until thoroughly incorporated. Spread into a nonstick 10″ x 7″ casserole dish and bake for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n

Black Beans<\/h3>\n\n\n

Super simple! Rinse and drain the beans from the can. I like to mix them with two to three tablespoons of salsa and add to meals as a complex carbohydrate or vegetarian source of protein.<\/p>\n\n\n

Quinoa<\/h3>\n\n\n

Boil four cups of water and a dash of salt. Add two cups of quinoa. Let it simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until all the water is absorbed into the grain. Add with lentils or beans for a complete protein, or mix it with a salad.<\/p>\n\n\n

Lentils<\/h3>\n\n\n

Heat two cups of water or broth to a boil. Add one cup of lentils. Cook on medium heat for 35 to 40 minutes. Lentils are a great source of vegetarian protein and are also starchy, so they fill the carbohydrate element of a meal as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

Broccoli<\/h3>\n\n\n

There are a few ways you can prepare broccoli. First, you can cook chopped broccoli in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water for two and a half minutes. Another option is to heat two tablespoons of olive or avocado oil in a skillet and saut\u00e9 broccoli for two to three minutes. Finally, you can toss the broccoli in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and then roast it in an oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Man<\/figure>\n\n\n

Sweet Potato<\/h3>\n\n\n

For fries:<\/strong> Preheat the oven to a broil. Slice the sweet potatoes into fries. Toss in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like. Place on a baking tray and cook in the oven for five minutes. Then flip the fries and cook for another seven minutes until crisp and slightly browned.<\/p>\n\n\n

For a baked sweet potato:<\/strong> Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Use a fork to puncture the sweet potato all over. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until tender.<\/p>\n\n\n

Cruciferous Crunch + Healthy 8-Veggie Mix<\/h3>\n\n\n

Both of these are an economical way to have a variety of vegetables in salad form! You can saut\u00e9 these mixes on the stove or throw them in a bowl and toss with a dressing of choice. I recommend lemon juice, olive oil, and Dijon mustard.<\/p>\n\n\n

Zucchini<\/h3>\n\n\n

I love making zucchini noodles with a spiralizer. However, you can also thinly slice a zucchini lengthwise for a similar effect, or otherwise chop it into cubes. Saut\u00e9 with olive oil for three minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper. Add marinara sauce and cook for another minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What About The Weekend?<\/h2>\n\n\n

This Trader Joe’s meal plan should yield some leftovers to pick at throughout the weekend. Chances are you’ll also want to mix in some dining-out options to share with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n

After such a successful work week of healthy homemade meals, we’d say you deserve it. Just remember to order something that covers all of the same major food groups. Bon app\u00e9tit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
