Don’t you kinda wish you had a personal assistant—especially when it comes to getting healthy, nutritious food on the table? Meal planning can be so exhausting, and most people just aren’t able to keep up with it all on their own.
That’s why I can’t live without the new Real Food Meal Plans for the Busy Home!
The Real Food Meal Plans do everything for you — minus, you know, the actual cooking and stuff. But even that is made so much easier! Because when everything is planned for maximum efficiency, it’s simpler, it gets done faster, and with better results (tastier and more nutritious food!).
The Real Food Meal Plans give you:
- A cooking schedule, with one day that you bang everything out that you’ll need for the week in a couple of hours, so that your daily kitchen prep time is extra short. Just throw together what you’ve already prepared, and you’re done!
- Flexible food options, like freezer meals that you can have ready just-in-case, options for larger batches of dinner so you’ll have plenty of leftovers, and lots of extra recipes so you’ll have plenty of food available when you need it.
- Well-balanced meals that are nutrient-dense, without having to think about it. If you find it difficult to add in all those superfoods like organ meats, shellfish, and fermented veggies often enough — with the meal plans, it’s all laid out for you, by a medical professional, no less. Your family will be getting the right amounts of everything they need, and the very best nutrition possible.
Would you spend the equivalent of a latte at Starbucks every month to get that? Every week, you’ll open your email to find a pretty little package of headache-free meal planning instructions, including:
- A detailed, printable shopping list to take with you and save you time and money
- Your schedule for the week with exactly what you need to do, laid out day by day (with one main cooking day and minimal time in the kitchen)
- Recipes for 5 FULL dinners – plus an extra – with enough leftovers to cover most of your lunches too!
- One double recipe each week to bank “fast food” in the freezer!
- Bonus recipes each week so you always have real food handy
- Gluten and dairy-free options – for those with special dietary needs
I was extra excited to see that whole, “fast food” in the freezer thing in the mix there. I’ve always wanted to try freezer cooking, but it sounded intimidating. This looks easy enough though — just make a double batch and freeze the rest. Pretty soon, I’ll have plenty of extra meals to spare for nights that I just don’t want to do any real cooking at all!
The recipes even tell you how much kitchen time it’ll take to prepare them. Which is almost always 30 minutes or less! Just a half hour in the kitchen to make healthy, delicious real food? That alone is worth it to me to spend 5 bucks a month! That’s the cost of a yearly subscription to the meal plans, because they are now 20% off through the end of March with coupon code, “DELISH!”

Good luck, everyone!
Oh, I’d love this tool for my family. We are not very good at budgeting and planning and make too many trips to the grocery stores! But I am passionate about real food!
I’d love to win this for so many reasons, I used to be good at meal planning but now life is just crazy and this seems to always fall of the to-do list and of course that means that often I’m not cooking as healthy as I’d like to be either.
I have never been able to successfully meal plan. I would love to win this, because it is hard to find REAL FOOD meals on most meal plans.
We eat all real food. I would love help with planning though. I would love some different ideas. Thanks for the giveaway!!!
This is awesome!!
Our family has just started our transition to Real Food and this would really help guide us in the right direction!
I could use some meal planning…especially in the spring, summer, and fall when I am outside 90% of the day!
new to eating this way and struggling around trying to figure how to put meals together. i love cooking and just need the assist.
Love this as a back up when I’m not feeling very inspired.
I would LOVE to win this! I am a flight attendant (and therefore not home very often) and it would be great to make it easier for my husband and 2 teenage boys to eat right when I’m off flying. 🙂
I’ve been dying to try this great idea! Let the experts plan out my meals for me!!
Thanks!
The would be great!!!
I would love to have meals planned for me !
I would love to win this!! I am new to this and this food plan would be a great help! Im keeping my fingers crossed 🙂
I struggle with ideas for dinner and this would be a great help!
I’d love to freeze some real food meals for my husband and myself!
Two reasons I would love to win this! As an online entrepreneur and a writer working on my first novel, short stories and starting a blog, meal planning has taken a back burner. That said, I’m my mother’s daughter and since she didn’t work outside the home, everything was from scratch and elaborate. My poor husband would LOVE it if I would cook something that didn’t take 2-3 hours and I would LOVE IT if he had quick, healthy things to eat so he wouldn’t buy CRAP! 🙂
I need this to kick start our improved healthy eating! Our son is just starting to be curious about food and wants to eat what mommy and daddy are having. I want to lead by example and our son should be able to pick anything off my plate and eat it with a clear conscience. We’ve been good at baby steps, but when we get caught off guard, we falter. Having a plan would be AMAZING!
Hi, I’d love to win the Real Food Meal Plan for busy homes, because my home is just that, real busy! I spend the majority of my day working from the car, so that often leads to dollar menu lunch/snack/late dinner pickups.I want to learn how to pursue healthy options, but have them fit into my lifestyle. Thanks
Thanks for your website. You’re hard work, research, fun and informative posts. Butter Believer Rocks!
This tool would be so great! It can get overwhelming sometimes planning meals for a family of four.
Hi, this is such a great gift for mommy of a 1 and 2 yo, my first born had special needs that changed MY life. We are finally getting back on track and being so busy with babies has made it difficult to plan anything, however, I’ve learned the key to living well is prevention. Thy food is thy medicine! So true! Thank you!
Meal planning is the only way I am successful at preparing and eating healthy foods for the whole family. Thank you!
Sample meal plan looks wonderful! I would love to try this!
I feel like I would be a lot more organized and timely with something like this.
Just getting into real food eating and really need ideas and help!!
How awesome is that! Would be great to win!
I would love this so much! I want to eat whole, healthy foods and feed them to my husband! Unfortunately, he’s the type to just open a can of progresso soup when he’s hungry if I don’t have a meal planned out. This would help me to have things ready and on hand so that even when we’re on the go we can still take care of ourselves!
Would love to win this giveaway, always great to have more healthy meal ideas. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I cannot believe the amount of processed crap we are led to believe is good for us. It has made me wary of many foods, and literature even. These magazines are the start to a wonderful lifestyle change, for me, AND my entire family.. 5 siblings, 8 nieces and nephews, Uncles, Aunts, and parents. If we could show the people we love, we might just change their mind too!
I really need a jumpstart for meal planning so this would be a wonderful win for me. Thank you.
Umm, Awesome!! Seriously, this would be great to have. If it takes less time to plan food, more time can be spent with your family!
I have been checking out Real Food Meal Plans for a while but with my husband unemployed for 2 years I can’t afford it. Would love, love to win this!
I would love to win this because while I used to plan meals for the week to make life easier and healthier…I think I have just gotten bored with repeated meals and could really use some new recipe ideas, and meal plans. Would love to check out the Real Food Meal Plans!
I would LOVE this….just trying to get some meal planning organized….this would be so nice to have someone else do all the planning for me!
Oh, I need help! My creativity is zero when it comes to meal prep. I know meal planning is the key but I don’t have the Real Food recipes or the know how to modify what I do have.
Would LOVE to win! I can ALWAYS use help with meal planning for our busy family! Especially plans that can incorporate the kids into helping with the prep work and implemention. Thanks! 🙂
This meal plan would be wonderful, absolutely fantastic with our busy lifestyle! Yes, I want to win it!
Get me out of my rut! My boyfriend (especially him 😉 and I would loooooooove to win this! I’m so grateful and excited that it’s whole/real food based.
I’d love to win because I’m a busy mom of 2 and we love REAL whole foods!
I am a mom of 3 boys. I homeschool them all, and deal with extreme fatigue due to Multiple Sclerosis. Anything I can do to simplify, and make things easier, is always of interest to me! Thanks for the opportunity to win this!
Id love to win, with 2 young kids trying to be as healthy as possible and set a good example so they can grow up and teach their kids about real food too!
I’d like to win becasue we could use it. We eat out far too often.
I’d love to win this meal plan. I want to plan our meals but never get around to it.
I love to cook.
I’m busy… And, I love real food!
I would love to win so I can gift it to my goddaughter, who is expecting her 2nd child.
Addicted to cookbooks and anything that can help me organize my home. With little ones running around, anything helps! This looks amazingly helpful!!!
Convience and new fresh ideas
Trying to switch to eating much healthier would love this resource.
I am SO lacking in healthy meal ideas after 20 years. I could really use some fresh ideas.
I would love to win this, as I’m tired of the same meals I prepare every weak. I’m sure my family would appreciate it, too!
I think that this looks like an awesome idea! I hate meal planning 🙂 I hope that I win!
Have thought about using a service like this so many times, but never took the plunge. I really could use the organization that this service would provide. Working three part time jobs makes finding time for menu planning and food shopping very challenging. Add in the goal of making wiser, healthier choices and the task seems impossible! Would love to win!!!
I’m in such a rut with food these days, this would be so helpful in getting me unstuck!
While we tend to BUY healthy, whole foods, actually prepping and enjoying them is difficult with our crazy schedule. I would hope that the meal plans would enable us to become more organized and intentional in our cooking habits, as well as helping us create healthy (ha ha) food budgets. Thanks!
Even though I do meal plan, it would be nice to have some “fresh” ideas. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love this! I love cooking and I’m learning to cook real foods, but I am so terrible at meal planning. This would be perfect@
I’ve been looking at these for a few months; I’d love to try them and be able to save the money, too!! Thanks for offering the giveaway!
We can always use help preparing our meal plans. Thanks for the giveaway!
Having meals planned would be amazing!!!
Planning meals is one thing I fail at having this would put me on the right track…we all gotta start somewhere right!? Lol
This would be the best for a busy student who wants to eat as well as possible 🙂
This would be perfect for a full time teacher who loves to eat organic and healthy but has no time to plan meals!
I am such anovice at this, but I believe in it completely so I want to learn! Meal planning is a struggle for me at this point. I’ve always been a great cook and BAKER, so I’m really needing help with the transition! This would be PERFECT!
I’d love to win these food plans because Holistic Squid has great recipes and I need help planning out easy, real food recipes.
This would be such a help as we transition to a new work schedule for my husband, a defined food budget, and cutting processed foods from our meals! Thanks for all your great info, Butter Believer!
I’m a struggling grad student on a budget, so this would save me lots of time when planning healthy meals for my family! I just got started on my real food journey and this would make it much easier!
I would love this for my family! I am just in the early stages of learning about real food and how bad the majority of the food we consume is. I am having such a hard time coming up with meals so this would be just perfect!
I’m drooling at the sample. Checklists and schedules, perfect!
I would love to win this for my family of 5. I do my best to make healthy meals for my family but run out of ideas a lot and end up straying in to not so healthy. I would also love to be able to help my husband’s health(thyroid, cholesterol and triglyceride problems at 27) by giving him good things to eat. He’s finally on board with the idea so some help getting it rolling would be amazing!
My main reason for wanting to win this is I’m a single mom of two girls and my occupation is definitely NOT a chef!
I’m in the Army, and as the stereotype fits my days are long, and time spent with my daughters during the week are very short.
With this limited amount of time I have to plan accordingly and divide my time into cooking real food and making memories. Weekends should be spent making the memories, but I usually have to sacrifice one of my weekend days to spend at the grocery story, as it is very difficult to buy food properly without reading every single ingredient.
Needless to say, I’m a burnt out mom who quit coffee and could use some help, any help lol, with our day to day activities. I believe this would be a great resource.
This would be a life saver !!!
I’ve just returned to fulltime work after many years of fulltime homemaking. This would help keep me organized with healthy, easy meals.
I always mean to make a menu and never do. This would be really helpful.
These plans look so awesome! They would make my life so much easier~
Hi! I’d live to in this! My husband and I eat very well. We don’t consume meat, and very little dairy. We have fish once in awhile, and our lifestyle consists mainly of fruits, veggies and whole foods. We try to avoid processed foods at all costs. What I’ve found recently is that we lack the motivation to create savory, exciting meals. I’d love some new, and fresh input on what we can make to brighten up our already healthy lifestyle. Xxx
Sounds like just what I need! I’m terrible at planning ahead.
Winning this meal plan would help me teach other people how to meal plan well. Part of my job is meal planning and I am always looking for new ideas. I don’t feel that I do it very well and would LOVE to be able to use this as a tool for my business, and be able to promote yours!
What a fantastic giveaway. As a busy mom of two teenagers, being able to prepare healthy food quickly is a challenge. This meal plan would be a big help.
Commenting to be entered in the contest :]
I’d love to win these Real Food Meal Plans for the busy home for myself to help me ensure I can throw together a nutritious, well-balanced meal on those extra busy days, and, to share ideas and tips with our customers so we can all prepare nutrient dense meals without having to think about it. You guys ROCK!
It would be great to take the guessing game out of what will be for dinner!
This menu plan would be a great way to learn more about cooking real food!
As a busy mom of 5, with special dietary needs, I often have a hard time coming up with healthy meal ideas. This would help me so much!
This looks great.
I need all the help I can get with meal planning! This would be awesome!
Would love some help with meal planning now that we are eating real food all the time.
Woohoo
We would love to get some guidance on preparing real food and the meal plans are perfect for that.
I really want to win this.

I have just started to learn about real food vs all the myths and lies. I could use some real help with choices and meal planning!

I would love to win this. It was recommended that we switch two of our children over to whole foods diet. One due to ODD and ADHD and the other son for issues from his surgery to remove a brain tumor. I am at a loss at how to put it all together and make it all work for our family of 8.

I would love to win this meal planner for our family. This is the area that causes me the most stress in my day. I feel so much less pressure through out the day, when what’s for dinner is already planned. It sounds like an awesome concept for busy households.
We are just another busy family, working full time and trying to put healthy meals on the table but don’t usually have a lot of time to plan and we especially want healthier meals. Would love to have this!!!
I’m trying to switch my family to the real food and this meal planner would be a great help giving the variety of ideas and keeping me organised.
