Tips for Easy and Efficient Prep:
- Take advantage of October’s harvest by incorporating autumn vegetables like pumpkins, squash, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts into your meal prep. These vegetables are not only nutritious but also versatile and can be roasted in large batches for use throughout the week.
- As the weather cools down, warm, comforting meals become more appealing. Use your slow cooker or Instant Pot to make large batches of soups, stews, or chili. These can be portioned out and frozen for quick, hearty meals on busy days.
- With the holiday season approaching, mornings can become hectic. Prepare make-ahead breakfast items like overnight oats, breakfast burritos, or pumpkin muffins. These can be easily customized with seasonal flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple.
This carefully curated meal plan takes the guesswork out of your weekly menu, allowing you to focus on enjoying the season rather than stressing over points. Whether you’re a long-time Weight Watchers devotee or just starting your journey, this free 7-day plan offers a perfect blend of nutrition, flavor, and autumn spirit. So grab your favorite oversized mug, download the PDF, and explore how you can savor every moment of fall while nourishing your body and staying true to your goals.
