Easy Healthy Meal Plan For Family Of 4

This is the 4th weekly family meal plan I will be sharing on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, and so many of you asked for all of the info in one place, so here it is. Watch out for the videos of each recipe coming each night this week, so you can cook along.

The meal plan this week is also extra handy as every meal takes less than 30 minutes to cook from start to finish. Whoop!

One

➡️ Maybe think about doubling up and freezing a recipe or two where the recipes are suitable, so save cooking another day or for the weekend.

➡️ The shopping list includes the cheapest version of each ingredient. Obviously if you want to buy lower fat mince or free range etc, that’s personal choice.

⭐️ Swap the white onion in the recipe for red onion. I used x2 onions instead of one as they were super small.

⭐️ Use x3 green peppers and x4 sticks of celery (which is more than stated in the recipe) to up the veg quota to two portions per serving.

Make A Plan

⭐️ Use x4 tomatoes, half of the olives jar, a red onion, a pepper and a third of the cucumber to make the Greek salad (I left out the feta cheese, but you could add to the shopping list if you wish). The Greek salad dressing is optional too if you have time/ingredients. If you don’t, sprinkle on a little olive oil, mint or oregano and salt you’re good to go!

These easy Lamb Koftas are so quick to make and perfect for the grill or barbecue. This lamb mince recipe is the taste of summer holidays.

⭐️ For the sweetcorn salsa: Mix the tin of sweetcorn, with a third of the cucumber, red onion, 1 red pepper and 100g of yoghurt.

This vegetarian Halloumi Burger recipe is SO easy and tasty. Crunchy on the outside, gooey melty goodness in the middle, with sweet chilli mayo sauce and avocado – it’s a delicious dinner that’s ready in about 15 minutes.

⭐️ Serve with Egg Fried Rice. I served with the recipe linked, but minus the eggs, so NOT egg fried rice! (As there was already plenty of protein in the pork of the Yuk Sung).

On the table in under 30 minutes, this delicious and healthy pork Yuk Sung family friendly recipe is so easy to make. It's the perfect midweek supper or ideal as a starter.

⭐️ For the tapas: Use the baguettes sliced and toasted, x3 sliced peppers, half the jar of olives, the Spanish mixed meats/cheese pack, Spanish grains, the pack of cherry tomatoes. (Sangria on the side is optional if you’d like to add it. 🤩) All items on the shopping list.

This easy Pil Pil Prawns recipe is super quick and simple but totally delicious. A perfect Spanish supper dish and sunshine treat.

Hi, I'm Sarah. I help busy people decide 'What's for Dinner?' Find hundreds of recipes here, and also in my bestselling recipe book. Hope my recipes make your life easier ❤️$50 a week meal plan for a family of four includes a real food menu for breakfast, lunches, and dinners, plus a downloadable shopping list! It’s a perfect plan for when money is tight, or use it to increase your savings.

Some people truly believe that the only way to eat healthy real food is to shop at high-end health food grocery stores like Whole Foods or Central Market.

Real food is all around us and whatever the financial hardship you may have, I assure you that it’s possible to feed your family real food on a tight budget!

Best Healthy Dinner Ideas

For the family who is trying to make healthy food work with a small budget, but aren’t sure where to begin, it’s exactly what you need! Whether you’re saving for something big, working on a smaller income, or overspent in previous weeks and need to scale back, this meal plan can help get you (back) on track!

This menu is 100% real food, but it was not written to include organic, grass-fed, or any other qualities of real food. Of course, these things are great, but they’re not required for a real food diet. If your budget is only $50 for the week, these qualities need to be momentarily set aside until your financial situation is more stable.

Here’s my meal planning process, and I’m also including my best tips to stick to the meal plan. For a sample of how I plan out my entire month of meals, check out this budget-friendly monthly meal plan.

December Healthy Family Meal Plan

Most recipes aren’t linked because they are either very basic (i.e. peanut butter and jelly) OR the recipe can be found on the container (i.e. oatmeal). I’ve linked to recipes where they would be helpful. If you like to follow meal plans where every meal has a recipe, I think you would like this meal plan.

Some of these meals can be prepared ahead of time, for instance, oatmeal, hummus and baked chicken. I recommend cutting fruit and veggies the day of, but sandwiches can be made ahead of time and frozen!

I wanted to emphasize, if you’re craving for dessert, try my homemade yellow cake mix. It’s a simple dessert made with pantry staples and it’s SO good!

Week Healthy Summer Meal Plan With Grocery List

Overall, I was able to buy everything needed for this real food menu for just $49.80 when I shopped my local circulars and Walmart.

It’s important to realize, real food doesn’t have to be expensive. It doesn’t matter how small your grocery budget is – you can do this!!
