Beginner Paleo 5-day Meal Plan

Use this simple meal plan if you are new to the Paleo diet and want to give it a try to see how your body responds. Feel free to edit this plan and add more days and recipes if you would like! Delete lunch recipes if you plan to use leftovers from dinner for your lunch the next day!

Begin Day 1 as a Meal Prep day to have a few essential recipes on hand for the week. Serve breakfast meals with a handful of micro-greens, a few spoonfuls of Cultured Vegetables, or Beet Sauerkraut for extra nutrients. Take a Carrot Breakfast Muffin and a hard boiled egg with you to school or work for a high-protein nutrient-dense lunch or snack to help curb sugar cravings. Sip on bone broth throughout the week as warm beverage or use it as the base for soups and stews.
