Do you want to start next year already looking like a supermodel, feeling like Wonder Woman and smelling like cinnamon? This 7-day clean eating fall meal plan full of healthy autumn recipes for breakfast lunch and dinner will get you there and help you achieve your wildest dreams.

I know, it’s a shocker I’m not hired to write TV ads read at the speed of light for a living. But I also know you will love the delicious healthy recipes on this fall menu. The healthy autumn meal plan includes breakfast ideas, tasty soups, one-pan meals, bowls and salads full of nutritious fall foods.

And I know you’re as excited about fall as I am.

Exactly!

Zero percent.

You can’t tell me the cinnamon candle in your house is as fun as playing outside during summer. I’ve never been a huge fan of autumn or fall or whatever you want to call the cloudy rainy season with the orange leaves on the ground.

I’m already in my winter jacket and if it wasn’t for my birthday in November or all the colorful food available during fall I’d be joining a flock of storks and heading somewhere sunny and warm.

(I wrote this a few weeks ago on a very gloomy day, I’ve since started getting out of the house more and kinda liking fall, especially gardening and walks when it’s sunny, but not hot, anyway)

So, here’s the 7-day clean eating fall meal plan. That transition was as smooth as my stork ride. But first, let’s see what’s actually in season, so we stick to nutrient-dense and affordable foods.

What To Eat During Fall

I don’t know about you, but when I think of fall season I picture a pumpkin in my mind. The brainwashing worked. Huge success. However, believe it or not there are many many other fruits and vegetables available during that season. Actually far more than during any of the other seasons.

Why? Well, because the fruits are ready to fall off the trees, but the weather is mild enough to grow leafy greens, broccoli, radishes, beets and so many other vegetables. Plus at the beginning, there are some peppers from the summer too. So here’s a short list of some great fruits and vegetables to eat during fall:

• cabbage
• apples
• pears
• figs
• persimmon
• pomegranate
• broccoli
• arugula
• beets
• radishes
• cauliflower
• celery
• spinach
• garlic
• kale
• green onions
• mushrooms
• leeks
• peppers
• lettuce
• pumpkin
• potatoes
• carrots
• Brussels sprouts

And also I currently grow a lot of herbs like mint, dill, rosemary and parsley.

Like, if you follow what’s in season during fall you have no choice, but to eat super healthy. Leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables have taken over. So we’ll focus on what’s in season and eat what’s cheap and nutritious, we’re not getting screwed over this time. TED talk over.

Fall Recipes To Try

So, here are some fall recipes that are healthy and taste good. Not all of them are in the clean eating fall meal plan below, but I’m including them in case you need more ideas and variety.

7-Day Clean Eating Fall Meal Plan

Finally, we’re coming to the clean eating fall meal plan with recipes for anti-inflammatory soups, healthy bowls and nourishing breakfast ideas. The recipes listed are for two people.

Vegetable-Based Breakfast

Now, I don’t know about you, but since the beginning of the year I decided to start my days with more vegetable-based breakfasts, big or small, depending on my appetite. Usually not that big early in the day, but it varies – feel free to enjoy any healthy breakfast you like. But in the meal plan, you won’t find things like the apple cake or the apple crumble in the breakfasts during the day, as I now like to save those for dessert. Whenever I crave something sweet – I’d have those after my meals.

Customize It

Keep in mind, this is a clean eating fall meal plan that I roughly follow. These are just suggestions and you can customize every meal and the size of it to your needs and tastes. Even for me, I make the meal plan and then I eat as much as I need to, which varies depending on how active I am during the day. But these are roughly the meals that I will be making. So take what you like and modify to your own needs.

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

Chicken

• 10oz/300g skinless boneless chicken thighs, in bite-sized pieces
• 2 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tbsp dill
• 1 garlic love, minced
• salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Cabbage Salad:

• 2 cups cabbage
• 1 cup lettuce
• 2 tbsp dill
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tsp vinegar

• 2 tbsp chopped olives
• 1 tsp olive oil

Yogurt Garlic sauce (see DF options in the notes)*

• 1/2 cup yogurt
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tbsp dill
• salt

Additionally:

Instructions

1. Start by making your vegetables according to this spicy roasted vegetable recipe. You can do all of the next steps while the vegetables are in the oven, just make sure to check on them after 15-20 minutes.
2. Make the chicken. Mix chicken with the other ingredients in a bowl or directly in the pan, then cover the pan and cook for for 3-4 minutes at medium-high. Take the lid off and stir for 6-7 more minutes or until the chicken is done.
3. For the salad add all ingredients to a bowl and mix them well together. I recommend massaging the cabbage with vinegar or lemon juice and a little bit of salt first and then adding the rest of the ingredients.
4. Prepare the garlic sauce by mixing the ingredients in a small bowl. For a dairy free option try this avocado dill sauce or the recipe for the cashew sauce here.
5. Time to assemble your bowls: start with a base of the salad and then top with the chicken and roasted vegetables. Top everything with the sauce and enjoy!
