January 2026 Meal Plan
After a busy holiday season, January calls for fresh flavors and simple structure. This month, I will highlight in-season produce and satisfying meals around 500 calories with at least 30 grams of protein, along with a few fun treats to make sticking to it feel easy and enjoyable.
We’ll use citrus in our treats, kiwi and berries in my yogurt bowls, avocados in breakfast and dinner tacos, beets and spinach in salads, and leeks, carrots, and broccoli as dinner sides.
Breakfast
- Protein yogurt bowl with Greek yogurt, protein powder, creatine, collagen, fresh fruit, and Fiber One cereal.
- Breakfast tacos with Carb Balance tortillas, egg whites with salsa and chicken maple breakfast sausage.
Lunch
- Factor Meals – During the holidays, I wanted to make sure I had healthy and quick meals on hand. They are delicious and nutritious, but I’m not sure I will continue with the subscription.
- Tuna, cucumbers, Quest chips, apple
Dinner
- Shrimp stir fry with frozen Argentine red shrimp (Costco), frozen roasted vegetables, and brown rice cooked in homemade chicken stock.
- Fish tacos made with a Cod filet (Costco), seasoned with Chili Lime seasoning from Trader Joe’s. Served with coleslaw, pinto beans, sauteed peppers, and onions.
