Weekly Meal Plan: Inspiration from the Skinnymixers blog Edition!
If you are looking to get organised, eat incredibly well, and keep things simple in the kitchen, you are in the right place. This week, we are diving deep into the Skinnymixers archives to build a menu that is packed with flavour, variety, and absolute crowd-pleasers.
Whether you are craving a cozy bowl of comfort or planning a fun “Fakeaway” night, this week’s lineup has something for every mood. Let’s get prepping!
🍽️ The Dinner Lineup
I love breaking the week down into categories. It takes the guesswork out of planning and ensures we aren’t eating the same flavour profiles day after day. Here is what is on the menu for dinner this week:
-
Something Meaty: Skinnymixers Peri Peri Chicken
-
Why we love it: It’s punchy, perfectly spiced (up the spice if you want it spicy), and completely addictive. Pair it with some simple roasted veggies or a crisp salad, and you have a powerhouse midweek dinner that tastes like you ordered takeout.
- Prep ahead: You can prep ahead the chicken & marinade, portion and freeze (depending on the night you are having it).
-
-
A Bowl Something: Skinnymixers Hot Honey Beef Sweet Potato Protein Bowl
-
Why we love it: Sweet and sticky—all served up in a cozy, comforting bowl. This is the ultimate assembly meal that hits all the macros – high in protein.
- Prep ahead: You can prep ahead the elements and then combine ready for a quick meal. If making your own hot honey see the recipe here.
-
-
Something Saucey: Skinnymixers Beef Bourguignon
-
Why we love it: Rich, deep, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. This Beef Bourguignon is like a warm hug in a bowl. Serve it over creamy mash to soak up every last drop of that incredible sauce.
- Prep ahead: You can prep ahead with a Freezer to Slow Cooker bag. Then on the day simply dump the beg into the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
-
-
A Stir fry: Skinnymixers Laksa Ramen Noodle Stir Fry
-
Why we love it: When you need something fast but refuse to compromise on flavour, this is the winner. The fragrant laksa spices mixed with ramen noodles and vegetables make this a guaranteed family favourite.
- Prep ahead: If you are making your own Laksa paste make ahead and freeze.
-
-
Fakeaway Night: Skinnymixers Lailah’s Pizza Dough
-
Why we love it: Friday night means pizza! Lailah’s dough is foolproof and makes the most amazing base, while the Skinnymixers pizza sauce brings that authentic pizzeria taste straight to your kitchen. Get everyone involved in choosing their own toppings!
-
Prep ahead: If making your own pizza sauce, portion and freeze ahead of time.
-
The other 2 nights of the week I leave flexible for leftovers or being out.
🥗 Lunch Prep Sorted
A good week relies on solid lunch prep. Having these ready to go in the fridge stops the midday scramble and keeps you fuelled.
-
The Comforting Soup: Skinnymixers Roasted Pumpkin Soup
-
Roasting the pumpkin first brings out an incredible natural sweetness. Portion this into containers for an easy grab-and-go lunch that just needs a quick zap in the microwave.
-
-
The Versatile Protein: Guest Recipe Tanya’s Shredded Chicken
-
This is the ultimate meal-prep hack. Having a batch of Tanya’s Shredded Chicken in the fridge means you are just minutes away from a protein-packed salad, a hearty sandwich, or a quick wrap.
-
🥨 Snack Attack
We can’t forget the snacks! Having a mix of sweet and savoury options ready to go is the secret to avoiding the 3:00 PM slump.
-
The Sweet Treat: Guest Recipe Mez’s White Chocolate and Raspberry Muffins
-
The tartness of the raspberries cuts perfectly through the creamy sweetness of the white chocolate. These are fantastic for lunchboxes or enjoyed with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
-
-
The Savoury Dip: Skinnymixers Gherkin Dip
-
Tangy, creamy, and totally irresistible. Serve this up with some vegetable sticks, your favourite crackers, or even smeared on your lunchtime sandwich for an extra flavour kick. Great one to pop into lunchboxes.
-
Preparation Tip for the Week: Try to knock out the Muffins, Gherkin Dip, the Roasted Pumpkin Soup, and Tania’s Shredded Chicken on Sunday afternoon. You will thank yourself when lunch and snacks are already sorted!
