I’m so excited to try this menu plan this week! Thank you!!!
So happy to hear that, Kate! We hope you enjoy 🙂
Do you offer a weekly TJ menu or just this one week? I have been looking everywhere online for a weekly TJ menu. I love TJ.
We just have this one for now 🙂 but we might consider doing more in the future! We do have one other Whole 30 meal plan if you’re interested: https://gethealthyu.com/whole-30-meal-plan/
Is this just for one person?
Hi Christina – this should work for two!
Do you offer nutritional information for these recipes, like total calories?
I always enjoy new seeing meal plans, they help get me out of the rut of cooking the same dishes over and over. Thank you and I hope to see more of the Trader Joe meal plans
