Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to make this meal plan even better:

  • Prep your meals in advance! Spend a little time on the weekend to chop veggies and portion out snacks. This will save you time during the week.
  • Mix and match your fruits and veggies. If you’re not a fan of strawberries, try raspberries or blackberries instead!
  • Experiment with different seasonings in your pasta dish to keep things exciting. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes can add a nice kick!
  • Keep your G2G bars in your bag for on-the-go snacking. They’re perfect for busy days!

How to Serve

This meal plan is versatile and can be served in various ways. Here are some serving suggestions:

  • Pair your Berry Apple Chicken Salad with a side of whole-grain crackers for added crunch.
  • Serve the Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken Pasta with a side salad for a complete meal.
  • Enjoy your muffins with a cup of herbal tea for a cozy evening treat.

Make Ahead and Storage

To make your life easier, here are some tips for making ahead and storing your meals:

  • Prepare the Berry Apple Chicken Salad a day in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Cook a batch of the Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken Pasta and store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Keep your snacks, like the hard-boiled egg and turkey stick, in the fridge for easy grab-and-go options.
