Welcome to the first fall weekly meal plan! 🍂

Cooler mornings (yay!), cozy sweaters (well, not quite yet here in San Diego), and my favorite autumn produce at the market—this is one of my favorite times of year to lean into comforting, nourishing recipes with seasonal ingredients like pears, apples, pumpkin, and root veggies. It’s also my “birthday season” BTW. Hello, fellow fabulous Sagittarius friends!

This week’s healthy, gluten-free meal plan no. 15 (see ALL the weekly meal plans here) is packed with simple, delicious recipes to help you transition into fall while keeping weeknight meals easy and stress-free. From warm oatmeal and apple smoothies with autumn flavors to cozy soups and hearty dinners, I’ve got you covered!

How the meal plan works

In addition to four dinner recipes, you receive one breakfast recipe, one smoothie or snack recipe, one quick and easy lunch, and one new “healthyish” dessert recipe to try each week.

Serving sizes vary by recipe, as reflected in the grocery list. Scale up or down as needed.

All of the recipes are gluten-free, with an emphasis on a wide variety of plant-based ingredients and gut-friendly foods. And most of the recipes are designed to be pretty darn easy to cook, too. Yay!

🍐Honey Protein Oats with Pear and Pumpkin Seeds

Start your mornings with a bowl of creamy oats, lightly sweetened with honey and topped with fresh pears and crunchy magnesium rich pumpkin seeds. It’s high in protein and fiber to keep you satisfied.

SMOOTHIE OF THE WEEK

🍎 Fresh Apple Smoothie

I make this fresh Apple Smoothie on repeat almost weekly in the fall. It tastes like apple pie in a glass—only healthier! Made with fresh apples, warming spices, and your favorite milk, it’s the perfect fall snack or breakfast on the go.

Cool nutrition fact: Apples are rich in pectin, a type of soluble fiber that acts as a prebiotic, feeding the beneficial bacteria in your gut and supporting digestive health!

P.S. Check out my Instagram or TikTok reel to see how easy this apple smoothie is to make!

QUICK & EASY LUNCH

Meal-prep a batch of this nourshing tortilla soup and enjoy it all week long! It’s a simple, satisfying lunch that comes together in under 30 minutes. Packed with veggies, beans, and spices, it’s both cozy and nourishing.

WEEKLY DINNER RECIPES
