I am so very excited to start sharing weekly low carb meal plan for all of you busy mamas!
One thing I know that I struggle with as a mom is coming up with meals that meet some very specific criteria.
One: The low carb meal plan must be quick and easy. As a mom I am usually making dinner while tending to my two young children. Anything that requires a lot of time or thought is a no go.
Two: Healthy. I strive to feed my family healthy meals that meet their nutritional needs. I find it hard to find healthy meals that my kids will actually enjoy.
Three: Kids will at least attempt to eat it. I usually know what my kids will attempt to eat and what they won’t be touching. However, I want to be sure to introduce them to healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. So, I usually have to get creative!
Four: Variety. I often find myself making the same low carb meals over and over again out of convenience. Sometimes, while making my grocery list, I honestly just cannot think of new meals to cook.
Five: Frugal. It is easy to spend a fortune on groceries each week. As a stay-at-home mom I try to be careful not to break the bank every time I go to the store. Having a meal plan helps me stay on track and only buy what I need!
Six: Delicious. Again, my kids won’t eat it otherwise so it must be tasty.
The meal plans will not always be low carb, but they will always be healthy and family friendly.
This week the low carb meal plan I created came from several food blogs that I love! All of the recipes for this week are low carb and family friendly. Of course you may substitute anything you don’t care for.
This is simply a low carb meal plan to provide you with options and ideas! I plan to add low carb snacks and fruits to my day as well as low carb espresso drinks like my Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe! If you scroll to the bottom you will also find a low carb chocolate chip cookie recipe!
