This could be you.
As soon as next Monday.
It’s here.
Let’s go.
What is the Winter Meal Plan?
The Winter Meal Plan is a step by step, hand held, daily guide on how to start living healthy as a lifestyle, not a diet.
Specifically, it’s a 4 week hands-on plan for how to shop, what to shop for, how stock your pantry + freezer, prep, cook and eat amazing tasting, foodie-food (that is also good for you), with less time, less money and less hassle than you’ve ever experienced before.
Really, there’s no catch. It’s not a diet. There are no “off limits” foods. It’s just based on eating real food [unprocessed and whole foods], prepared simply and efficiently for busy people who want to eat well.
It’s just the actual nitty-gritty of how to make healthy eating much more efficient in the context of daily life. So you’ll want to do it. And will be able to keep doing it after you’re done with the 4 week specifically mapped out plan. You know. Like a lifestyle. That’s actually enjoyable and easy enough to keep up over time.
The Winter Meal Plan Would Be a Great Fit For You If:
1. The holidays got away from you and you’re ready to get back on your A-game, but don’t want to do a extreme cleanse or diet program…. because you know they never last. No one can live long being “perfect”. Educate yourself and do something more hands-on and impactful long term by learning how to shop, prepare some new recipes, eat more seasonally, and think about your week ahead of time. Those skills will never go out of style.
2. You’ve been wanting to test out this “real-food” thing I always talk about in a painless, easy to do way. No thinking, planning or hard work involved– I’ve done it all for you on the back end of things so you can see exactly how it works. It’s like the inner workings of my brain, and you get to see it all and take notes. If you’ve been thinking that you should eat better, but you just don’t know exactly what that means or how to make it work without costing you more time and money, this is a great fit for you.
2. You’ve wanted to try eating less processed food, sugar, gluten and dairy, but don’t want to be on a diet plan. [Yes, all of the recipes are naturally gluten-free and dairy optional, but ones that you can adjust to your own preferences]
3. You have 5 “healthy” recipes that you make over and over……and over and over again. You are #bored out of your mind.
4. You wish you craved healthy food, and could make good-for-you-food taste great (yes, both are possible)
5. You are busy and don’t have the time to cook healthy meals from scratch (and I’m ready to prove you wrong)
6. You’ve been waiting anxiously + counting down the days to this launch, because you love the Spring, Summer + Fall Plan so much. Winter is all about soups, warm + hearty foods and trying some new things.
The Winter Meal Plan Will Upgrade Your Weekday Eating Game, So You Can:
a) Eat better food so you can feel better in your daily life, have more energy, clarity, focus, sleep and attitude ….and look better too. I know it may sound dramatic of me, but everything else in life is easier to handle and much more productive + enjoyable when you feel better, so the downstream impacts upgrading your food can have is huge.
b) Stop wasting food + money with un-used ingredients.
c) Streamline your kitchen, pantry, shopping and meal prep routine for ease of continued weeknight meals, long beyond the 4 weeks of the plan.
d) Get out of your boring recipe routine and learn some new easy gems!
e) Get in and out of the store + cook for the week in under 3 hours or less PER WEEK (approximate)!
f) Eat amazing tasting, tested + easy to make HEALTHY food that everyone in your family will love.
g) Eat more vegetables that you ever have in your life…. and love it.
h) Eat more seasonally (and save money doing so)
How Does It Work?
It’s almost too easy, really.
You sign up [right here, for example], tell us what Monday you want to officially start, and the Friday before you start, we send you a printable shopping list and the plan/recipes for the week, with specific instructions of what to make when [and how long it will take you so you can plan your week accordingly and adjust things as you need to]. You get the whole weekend to prepare, shop + cook a few things as you’d like, and are ready to hit the week with a plan + awesome food ready to go.
What is included in the Winter Meal Plan?
1. Weekly Printable Shopping List.
2. Weekly Recipes + specific directions on what to do and make when, and how to combine your dishes to get the most out of them through the week, sent directly to your inbox, once a week for 4 weeks.
3. NEW! The Green Smoothie Guide, broken down into “beginner”, “intermediate” and “advanced” recipes to pick from every day. There is something for everyone, no matter where you’re starting from! Plus, 5 totally brand new green smoothie recipes for my seasonal meal plan vets.
4. Simply Real Health Real Food Guide + printable lists on Stocking A Healthy Pantry/Freezer, Eating Out + Traveling, A Healthy Cocktail + Wine Guide, Real-Food Desserts, Healthy Snack Options, and a few secret bonus guides along the way.
5. A private Facebook Group (optional) to share your recipe twists, and get tips + tricks with yours truly + other Winter Meal Planners
6. Email access to Sarah with questions or recipe adjustment help.
7. Over 28 brand new, simple, real food recipes, including new green smoothie recipes, make-ahead lunch ideas, one-pot dinners, soups, healthier desserts, and fun weekend brunch ideas. All seasonal, fresh + delicious!
Some of my favorites in this new plan?
– Classic Roasted Chicken + Herb Roasted Vegetables
– Thai Soba Noodle Bowls + Homemade Pho
– Baked Potatoes with Vegetarian Chili
– Butternut Squash Risotto with Kale
– Mulligatawny Soup
– Amazing Maple Brussel Sprout Salad
– Pumpkin-Parsley Pesto Kale Salad
What if I am a picky eater/am cooking for a picky eater/have food sensitivities?
Well, we think we can change your mind about some of those ingredients if it’s a pickiness factor. That’s because we think everything in the plan tastes great and would be worth a try first, even if its out of your comfort zone. If it’s about food sensitivities, all of the recipes are designed for easy swap-outs- whether you are vegetarian, dairy-free or gluten-intolerant (the entire plan is naturally gluten-free and dairy optional). We’ve got you eating lots of great tasting veggies, beans, lentils, healthy proteins [meat, poultry + seafood too!] good fats, and green smoothies almost every day.
What if I’m traveling, or have to go out for dinner or lunches on certain days?
That’s totally fine. It’s flexible. The Winter Meal Plan is meant to give you structure and recipes that use the same ingredients in different ways, so you can modify the plan or start and stop it around your travel schedule easily. It’s not a rigid plan– in fact, you are encouraged to add in your own snacks or extras to the meals as you need to, depending on your lifestyle + goals. Plus, we’ve got a great handout on the best items and real-food guides on eating out + traveling.
Is anything off-limits? Coffee, wine, desserts, etc?
No, nothing is off limits at all. This is not a diet plan– just a way to help you maximize your healthy eating, mix up your routine and get you eating and feeling better without so much effort! We make suggestions for you on how to think about your desserts, cocktails + coffee habits, but it’s up to you how you want to go about it.
I’m cooking for my significant other or family. Can the recipes be doubled?
Yes, absolutely. The plan is written for 1 person with a large appetite. Depending on your own appetites, the plan may work great for 2 people with just some extra smoothie additions and added proteins at meals. For a family, I would suggest doubling the items that you think everyone will eat (soups, sides, smoothies, etc), and adding in the foods that they love to the main meals. If you ever have questions on this, you can always email Sarah directly for more guidance on this.
Who is this plan NOT meant for?
Anyone who wants a deeper education on the “whys” behind real food, those that need more personalized accountability and support, or those that have a negative or more emotional relationship to food that they’d like to change. The Meal Plan does a great job of showing you what to do to feel better, but if you don’t address the root cause of some of your thoughts and behaviors, it won’t stick for good. All of these factors would make doing some personalized coaching a much better fit for you, if the goal is to actually change how you think about food for the rest of your life. If you’re not sure, just shoot me an email and we can chat on the phone about what your best fitting options could be.
Do you offer this plan for groups {corporate groups, friend groups, and families that want to do this together]?
Yes, just ask about special group pricing for groups of 10 or more.
What feedback did previous meal planners have to say about their experience?
“Finally a smart, practical way of living and learning about eating and your health. It just makes sense where other fads or diets don’t, for the longterm. The way you feel, the amount of energy I had and my now glowing skin is all the proof I needed. Thank you!” — Janna P.
“I liked the grocery checklist. Correction – LOVED the grocery list. I haven’t wasted food since I started, we’re spending WAY less on our weekly grocery bill and my picky husband LOVES the food. Triple win”- Casey B.
“This is the perfect way to take the thought and stress out of figuring out how to eat correctly. And, I have never felt better in my life!” – John P.
“I feel SO much better. I always thought I was a really healthy eater and this has completely changed my perspective. I have lost weight [a nice side effect], I don’t wake up in the morning with stomach aches, and my skin is clearer– plus so many other things. I’m a real-food convert now!” – Amanda D.
“The meal plan was a pretty easy way to learn how to incorporate healthy habits into your every day life- not just sporadic days here and there. And the food was bomb.com- it definately got me out of my cooking rut and with some great new favorites. The blog is not even a TINY smidge of the awesome recipes that Sarah gives. I seriously can’t wait for next season to get more!” – Alex G.
“I am feeling more creative and inspired in the kitchen–the fact that it’s with healthy food is even more of a bonus!” – Christine V.

Kelly says
Do you include the nutrition info for each recipe? I’m interested in carb counts (I’ve got type 1 diabetes)
Sarah Adler of Simply Real Health says
Hi Kelly, no there are no nutrition facts included (on purpose) as the purpose of the plan to help encourage a healthy lifestyle way of eating and a healthier relationship to food. If it’s real food, most people do and feel better just by way of doing that. And most real food doesn’t have labels to begin with. It may not be a great fit if you are needing that!
