What We Ate & Loved – Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan Wk 12

A weekly series where we share our family’s actual Mediterranean diet meal plan, along with a few things we’ve been loving this past week. The goal is to simply share meal and recipe ideas. 

Our Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan

We share our family’s weekly meal plan simply for meal ideas and recipe inspiration for anyone else looking for suggestions. Please keep in mind that every family and person is different and this is just what works for us. 

We’ve saved all our previous weekly meal plans in one convenient location – Weekly Mediterranean Diet Meal Plans.

How We Meal Plan

We go more in depth on how we go about planning meals in this post – Meal Planning Guide but just to quickly summarize – 

• Breakfast is usually pretty standard in our house so I don’t include it on our meal plan list
• My kids either bring a bagged lunch or buy hot lunch at school so I only meal plan for my lunch (and my husband if he is working from home that day)
• I include notes on some days to indicate if the meal is something we have to make quickly, on the go, etc. This really helps when it comes to planning meals and buying food to know our schedule in advance. 
• On Saturdays we typically eat leftovers and eat out for lunch or dinner. I indicate that on the meal plan each week but just in case you were wondering

What We Loved this Week

This is where we share a few random things we’ve been loving lately and want to give our official stamp of recommendation on!

This week was a simple one and we made this purchase based off an instagram ad. A few weeks ago we bought the BlendJet 2 Portable Blender. Since receiving in the mail, I think we’ve used it almost every single day.

We 100% recommend this blender. It’s so easy and convenient to use. It makes a full size smoothie and is easy to clean. No more lugging out heavy blenders and bases, let alone having to clean that huge machine.

This summer we are going on a long road trip and I cannot wait to take this with us!
