Summer meal planning is all about eating as much fresh produce as we possibly can in a three-month time period. After all, it is the only time of year when the vegetables at the grocery store look almost as good as they do at the farmers market. If it also feels right to focus on foods that make you feel like the best version of yourself, why not lean into that? During this time of year, that means building my meals around colorful, fresh, in-season vegetables and lean proteins, while leaving carbohydrate-focused foods for another time.

In this week’s Power Hour meal prep plan, I’ll show you how to plan, shop for, prep, and cook a week of summer-inspired meals that just happen to be lower-carb. In about two hours, you’ll be set for a week of heat-and-eat breakfasts, easy lunches, and in-season suppers. Here’s how to set yourself up for a successful week of summer meals.

This shopping list contains everything you will need for this easy, low-carb summer meal plan. Kosher salt, black pepper, and cooking oils are not included in this list, as they are considered staple ingredients. Before you dash to the farmers market or grocery store, check your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer for items you may already have on hand. As always, this shopping list is organized by department to make shopping a breeze.

Power Hour Meal Prep is the series where we help you put it all together. We show you how to eat well during the week with an hour or two of Power Hour prep over the weekend. Every plan is different; mix and match to find your own personal sweet spot.
