When people say chop, mince, dice, slice, cube or brunoise (I googled that one), I understand – cut something into pieces, however you can with whatever you have. So congrats, this is the person who decided to share her healthy meal plan on the internet. It might be humble, but it’s perfect if you’re new to clean eating and looking for tasty, uncomplicated recipes that taste great.

It's never too late to be what you might have been - George Eliot motivational quotes

Before you start, I highly recommend you write down the goals you have long-term, get clear about why you’re doing this 14-day challenge. Then every day, look at those reasons. That’s going to keep you motivated, help you stay on track and prevent you from making excuses.

That’s the TED talk. Today I was feeling extra motivated myself. Let’s prepare!


14-Day Clean Eating Meal Plan

I don’t know what you picture in your mind when you hear the words clean eating, but for this meal plan it means eating mostly unprocessed whole foods. The emphasis will be on fruits and vegetables with some grains, some legumes, some fish and meat to go along. Also nuts and seeds. And herbs and spices to add flavor in a natural, delicious way. No MSG, no artificial flavorings, we don’t need them. No foods or food groups are excluded from this meal plan.

Eating this way will leave you feeling great and satiated because you’ll be giving your body the variety of nutrients it needs to function properly.


How To Prepare For The Week

You’ve got to prepare for the week. I’m not a huge fan of meal prep, in fact, I hate it. Very much. But having a meal plan and some ingredients ready in the fridge makes it way more likely for me to eat healthier throughout the week than if I don’t.

Most of the days, for lunch you’ll be relying on leftovers from dinner from the day before. So yes, there will be cooking involved! But you can speed things up by chopping up things in advance and preparing some of the meals.


Snacks:

With this clean eating meal plan for beginners, I recommend you have one to two snacks throughout the day. If you’re not a snacker, just make your servings for lunch and dinner bigger. It’s important to eat enough because, as I mentioned, your body needs the nutrients, not just the caloric energy!

Now, if you’re a snacker, make sure to get one smoothie for the extra fresh produce (snack 1) and another snack – sweet or savory (snack 2) that you can make ahead for the week.

Clean Eating Meal Plan FAQ

  • Is this clean eating meal plan good for weight loss? Yes. Focusing on nutrient-dense whole foods and excluding processed foods and added sugar will help you lose weight naturally and in a sustainable, healthy, way. For best results, combine this meal plan with plenty of walking, good sleep and avoid being sedentary overall.
  • Can I drink coffee or alcohol? I do not recommend drinking alcohol when eating healthy, but a daily cup of coffee is perfectly okay. As long as you don’t overdo it and don’t add a ton of sugar to your coffee.
  • What if I don’t like a certain recipe? If you don’t think you’ll like a certain recipe from the 2-week clean eating challenge, just pick a different healthy recipe you know you like. This is not supposed to be a rigid plan and it should work for you.
  • Is Dairy Allowed? Yes, and actually, we’re not excluding any food groups here. Just processed food and sugar. If you’re dairy-free, I have a gluten- and dairy-free meal plan here.

14-day clean eating meal plan for beginners with nourishing healthy recipes and a grocery list to help you start a healthy lifestyle! This diet plan includes easy healthy breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks as well as meal prep tips to help eat clean every day!

5.0 Stars (4 Reviews)

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cabbage, chopped
  • 250 g ground beef (about 8 oz)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp tamari sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced

Instructions

  1. Add the beef to a non-stick pan, breaking it apart as well as you can while cooking at medium-high heat. Cover the pan with a lid for 4-5 minutes. I always add just a little bit of water to make sure the beef doesn't burn and get too dry. Please, make sure there's no water in the pan before adding the rest of the ingredients.
  2. Add the chopped cabbage, chili flakes, 1 garlic clove, 1 tbsp tamari sauce and 1 tbsp oil (I used olive oil). Cover with a lid and cook for about 3 minutes.
  3. Take the lid off, add 1 tbsp tamari, 1 tbsp olive oil and the ginger, the rest of the garlic and let cook for 4-5 more minutes or until any excess liquid is gone (there might be some from cooking the cabbage).
  4. Serve with some toasted sesame seeds on top! Enjoy!
