Essentials-Only Meal Plan: Eat Well with Only 15 Ingredients

This affordable and easy meal plan features just 15 simple, nutrient-dense ingredients, showing how simple it can be to eat well with a streamlined shopping list. By keeping grocery trips shorter, minimizing costs, and reducing food waste, this plan encourages creativity and flexibility with minimal yet wholesome ingredients. Please note, the olive oil, avocado oil, salt and pepper are not included in the list as they are pantry staples. The program is designed with key nutrition priorities in mind: high-quality protein, healthy fats, iron, and vitamin C. 

This program was designed with key nutrition priorities in mind:

  • High-Quality Protein: Sufficient daily protein intake can support muscle maintenance, blood sugar balance, and a healthy body composition. This meal plan includes over 20% of daily calories from complete, highly digestible protein sources that contain essential amino acids.
  • Monounsaturated Fats: Good quality fats, like monounsaturated fats from olive oil, avocado oil, sunflower seed butter and avocado, are featured throughout this plan. These nourishing fats support overall wellness, particularly in the areas of immune support and balanced inflammatory responses.
  • Iron: Iron is a key mineral that supports red blood cell production and helps carry oxygen throughout the body. This plan includes iron-rich foods like poultry, ground beef, and spinach to support daily iron intake.
  • Vitamin C: Vitamin C is an antioxidant that may support your body's natural ability to absorb iron from foods. This meal plan intentionally pairs vitamin C-rich ingredients, like broccoli (rich in Vitamin C) with beef and spinach (rich in Vitamin C) with chicken, to create balanced and nutrient-rich meals.
