Clean-Eating Meal Plan for Beginners
The idea behind clean eating is straightforward, and utilizing a meal plan to follow (or merely as inspiration) may make it much simpler to comprehend. Increase your consumption of nutritious foods, such as whole grains, lean protein, healthy fats, and lots of fruits and vegetables, while cutting back on items that might make you feel unwell when consumed in big quantities (think refined carbs, alcohol, added sugars and hydrogenated fats).
All foods may be included in a balanced diet, but sometimes you just need to start again and concentrate on consuming more of the nutritious items you may be avoiding. This simple clean-eating meal plan is a fantastic way to consume more of those healthy foods, including 14 days’ worth of nourishing meals and snacks.

Week 1
How to Meal Prep Your Week of Meals:
A little preparation at the beginning of the week makes the rest of the week much easier.
- Prepare the Greek Mezze Bowls for Days 2 through 5’s lunchtime meals. To maintain freshness for a week, store in an airtight container.
- Double the Lemon-Tahini Dressing recipe. You’ll use it for lunch and dinner every day of the week. Keep your salad dressing in this vintage glass container.
- Make two batches of the Easy Brown Rice to last you the whole week. Keep in a large glass dish for meal preparation. Since wild rice is called for in the meal on Day 1—the Kale Salad with Beets & Wild Rice—you may either prepare a larger amount of it or substitute brown rice in the recipe to avoid having to prepare two different kinds of rice.
