These healthy meal plans are for six dinner recipes and a dessert thrown in for fun! All of these recipes are (mostly) paleo friendly, seasonal, and most can be easily adapted to be Keto/Low-Carb or Whole30 friendly.
Hey, friend!
Yay, summer!!

Special Diet Note: Recipe is Paleo, whole30 and low-carb.
Prep Ahead: The dressing can be made up to 5 days in advance, and the chicken can be marinated up to 1 day ahead of time.
Substitutions: Mix and match your favorite vegetables in the salad. You can also use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs.
Monday
THAI STEAK KABOBS — These marinated Thai steak kabobs are easy, flavorful and delicious — especially with a drizzle of coconut curry sauce. If you serve them alongside some coconut rice, they’re positively dreamy.
Special Diet Note: These kabobs and sauce are paleo friendly (if using almond butter) and keto/low-carb. Serve them with a salad or some coconut rice linked in the recipe card.
Prep Ahead: Marinate the steak up to 18 hours in advance. You can prep the vegetables up to 2 days in advance.
