MEAL PLAN WITH ME | Planning + Shopping For a Week of Healthy (And Easy!) Meals

[@AshlynneEaton]

Do you currently meal plan? What does that look like for you? 🤍

[@shelbizzle131]

My husband and I will make a “weekly calendar” if you will, where we put down what ideas or things we’d want during the AM/Day and PM/night. We don’t stick to it like glue but just having it as a guide is so helpful; not having a plan and taking too long to figure out what to eat was what caused us to rely heavily on take out 🤷‍♀️ Once we have our filled out “calendar” for the week, we go shopping for what we need, prep veggies when we get home, and use it all up that week!

I currently use Hello Fresh for meal planning. I get 3 meals a week (2 servings) which lasts me 6 days so I only really need to plan for one day a week. It saves me time, as a student, having to go to the supermarket and carry back all my food. It has also allowed me to eat a variety of different recipes and I no longer eat the same few meals on rotation

[@annesmith3882]

I go to the store twice a week, and every time before I go I divide on 3 or 4 meals that included most of my leftovers.

[@therealjenniferrr]

I meal plan over the weekend and complete an order online for Walmart with a supplemental list for our local grocery store of things I don't want to get at Walmart (I don't get meat at Walmart and I usually like to pick out my own veggies). I pickup usually on Monday at Walmart and then go to the grocery store after for the remaining items. Then we are set for the week!

[@heididueck3147]

I currently meal plan one week at a time, except for times when I'm gonna be busier, I sometimes do it for 2 weeks or more, so I can go shopping less. I normally stock up on meats when I can get it on sale, and then I'll plan meals based on what I have available in my freezer.

I can really understand that she gave the flowers to you because you’re so kind and a such a lovely person 🙂. You get what you give.

[@AimeeML]

I have been so stressed lately trying to figure out what is for dinner and meal planning, your video helped me create a system and I’m ready to try it, thank you!

[@amandalashley3819]

I do things a little bit backwards, I buy a lot of our staples in bulk from azure, then I go to the grocery store once a month to fill in the gaps. I basically use the same ingredients every week just in deferent ways and we don't really do snack foods so I don't have to worry about that. Then each week I just meal plan what I feel like making that week. We almost always have some kind of soup or chili on Sunday for lunch, so on Wednesday I will start the bone broth in my slow cooker, if our soup has beans in it I start soaking them on Friday morning and cook them Saturday morning, then on Sunday all I have to do is throw everything in the pot and we have soup. We will eat leftover soup later in the week, we usually get 2-4 meals depending on what kind of soup I make. I have a whole list of other meals we rotate through but it seems like my entire meal plan centers around our Sunday soup.

sounds like someone is eating nourishing traditions :) we do too!!!

[@linal3489]

Ashlynne: "For lunch ill have eggs and toast." Me watching this now on my lunch break and eating eggs and toast 😂

[@AshlynneEaton]

Haha I love that!!

[@kataluna3551]

Such a nice video! Trader Joe’s allows their employees to give flowers to costumers to make their day special! Also candy etc 🥰

[@lorisampel2071]

You are blessed and bless others with your random acts. Thanks for the tip about the meal list on the app. Umm going to use the idea.

[@sissyrouse1473]

It would be a nice follow up vlog to show you preparing each meal for a week.

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

The meal planning is so cool! Happy weekend and keep beautiful in you, Ashlynne!🌻🌻❤️❤️🌹🌹

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thanks Ervin! Hope you have a great weekend!

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

You too, Ashlynne!

[@LoveJesus1987]

Looooove the flower story at Trader Joe’s! 🥺🥰🥰🥰🤍🤍

[@shelbizzle131]

Yes!! I’m so excited for this video (as always)!! 💃 I’ve been really trying hard to get into this habit and have been doing pretty well (it’s been 3 weeks). I do feel like I’m missing some key things tho so this topic is JUST the one I’m looking for right now!! Thank you for awesome content! 🤩

[@brandimitchell703]

I do a weekly meal plan as well! Very much the same as yours :) one thing we do differently is purchasing bulk meat from local sources and storing it in a deep freezer! I also often bulk buy pantry staples that we use often that won’t go bad over time, like rice or oats :)

[@oursimplelifewithtonya9657]

I meal plan for week and shop once for the week. I also use my journal make a list for each day of the month and if I think of meal I want in the near future or my so mentions a meal he wants I write it down for the next day that it makes sense to have that meal for that month. When the next week comes, I often already have a meal plan planned out and just have to shop online.

[@lynnhathaway1247]

I get home from work at 6pm during the week. Meal planning is critical to my operation. Takes the hassle out of trying to figure out what to eat every day, and you can plan to defrost the meats you need without doing it last minute.

[@helenfarmer4286]

I am so inspired by this video that I am also going to start to do meal planning, thank you for this❣️🌹 🌹 I love the Rose story, how sweet is that!

[@bellmark64]

Going to start planning ahead. One week at a time seems good for me also. I will be following a new way of eating so I am being encouraged to use recipes included. Also it stresses eating at home and using as little processed food as possible. I already eat at home most of time but I am way too heavy for my health. I got a big blank monthly calendar that I am going to use. Thanks for your motivation. I may have covid now. In Ontario you are to assume you have it without getting tested if you are not sick enough to be in hospital or don’t have to be tested for work. They gave free test at home kits awhile back but I did not get any. Not very sick at present time. I will be staying home for at least five days. Should have plenty of time to meal plan.

“THE DOCTOR OF THE FUTURE WILL NO LONGER TREAT THE HUMAN FRAME WITH DRUGS, BUT RATHER WILL CURE AND PREVENT DISEASE WITH NUTRITION.” - THOMAS EDISON🥗💫 Such inspiring words, Ashlynne. Beneficial in so many ways just as you pointed out. To enjoy more verities of healthy foods by also saving money and time, this is the best option.

[@natashak3387]

Hello there! I love your videos and obsessed with food prep and Trader Joe's. Lol!

[@lutfahfirfirey917]

I'm going to start meal planning. Thanks for the tips Ashlynne as I didn't know where to start 🙂👍🌸

[@ruthalaina4837]

I love these types of aesthetic videos!! Sometimes I see a resemblance in you and A L L I S O N haha! You know exactly how to make a video aesthetic and calming ✨

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh my gosh I love Allison’s channel! Definitely a huge compliment. Thank you!! 🥰🤍

[@valerieohara3649]

Michelle reed mentions your videos too

[@Rose2626]

Love this! I’d love more food videos. I just started a new career and work later so I need more ideas since my hubby can’t cook haha

[@r.h.5420]

I love this video ❤️ Thank You Ashlynne 😊

[@CarolynnMarkey]

awww i love your little haul! we are a family of four and spend 150-200 a week on all organic groceries and we even get raw milk. I also plan every week and shop once a week

[@mdhelaluddin2594]

I definitely do and it has really helped me!

[@despinak9942]

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been wanting to know how to meal plan! I just found your channel and I’m really loving it! Keep up the great content! ❤️

[@nicolerobinsonhernandez5237]

Oh man! I do not miss the cost of groceries in the States! You could get all of that in Germany for €50

[@BlondeQtie]

i would not say that. meat and salmon are really expensive!

[@nicolerobinsonhernandez5237]

I guess it depends where you are (I’m not in a major city) but in general I have found Europe to be much cheaper. The meat & fish is still better deal because the quality is so much better

[@priscillajimenez27]

Dang I gotta move to EU

[@BlondeQtie]

@@priscillajimenez27 please google all expenses and calcute meticulously before you do that. from rent to taxes to mandatory social welfare expenses to transportation to health care insurance…

[@hannahr3582]

Yay!! Love it!! So helpful. ❤️

[@justsonia7863]

Hey sis💖💖am here early today🤗🤗now, lemmi concentrate 😊

[@AshlynneEaton]

Hey hey!! Thanks for watching!!

[@heidiahlqvist6297]

I also do meal planning. It really helps every day life 👌 You have very organised system 👍. Greetings from winter Finland ❄

[@madisonturner3076]

We do meal plan, but we focus more on the ingredients we already have to make our meals rather than recipes we just choose to eat. Our meals are set by whatever is leftover in our fridge/freezer/pantry and we build off that.

[@cristinarq82]

Please, share the recipes you meal plan this week.

[@dancedance444]

Multigrain pita crackers are so good. Superior to the original. Hope you like them!

[@SuperLovelessgirl]

I sometimes meal plan, but most of the time I make it up from day to day from whatever items I have in my house. I do wanna get better at planning more because I feel I eat the same thing everyday and that can get pretty boring 😫

[@katyalafon9006]

Love meal plan video..you should do more specialy how expensive food is since covid. I dont know where you live but it was not expensive for all you got. In Québec City it is way more expensive $$$

[@boubakar5168]

Tres belle vidéo ashlynne 😊😊👍

[@meagannichole2732]

Where did you get your wood floating shelves from?

[@priscillajimenez27]

As a single person with two jobs, I'm still trying to find a meal plan that works for me.

[@unabellavita6541]

Gosh, $116 for a weeks worth of groceries for a two person home seems so expensive. We have a large family of 6 and buy meat, produce and some grains each week, we don’t spend much more than you do.

[@noa7000]

I guess they have more expensive items like the protein bars and the trader joe mealkits

[@punjabseth260]

nice
