Welcome to your 14-day Registered Dietitian-backed meal plan! We have created 2


weeks full of simple, healthy, and balanced meals for you to start your year off in the best
way possible.

This meal plan is meant to teach you to get more comfortable and intuitive in the kitchen,
how to build a healthy and balanced plate, as well as fun ways to get more variety in your
diet to truly support your overall health and wellbeing. It is packed with nourishing
recipes that will help you reach your goals and feel amazing from the inside out! Use this
guide as you step into the new year to help you create long-term, sustainable habits that
allow you to feel like the best, healthiest, most energized version of yourself!

In this meal plan, along with the menus and recipes, you will also find weekly grocery
lists, healthy snack recipes, meal prep tips, and tips for eating out at restaurants. We
recommend browsing all of the pages before you begin the challenge. Be sure to go
through the grocery lists before heading to the store, as you may be able to check a lot of
items off that you already have at home. The final pages of this e-book include delicious
snack recipes and basic proteins you can add to each meal! We also recommend taking
some time on Sundays to plan for the week ahead. Refer to the “Meal Prep Tips” page at
the end for some recommendations that can help to take some stress out of your week
