Have you ever heard that expression? It doesn't mean go eat a literal rainbow in hopes of finding a pissy, little leprechaun whose pot of gold you can steal. I mean, that would be legit...but I'm 99% sure that's now how it would work out. Little people are angry. I know this, because I'm little.
Moving on. It simply means to eat a well rounded meal, with lost of bright colored REAL food. This can be a difficult thing for some, myself included, but is essential for variety and health.
I try to make dinner meal plans so that 1. I don't go all banana sandwich at the grocery store and 2. I can see an overview of a few days worth of meals to make sure I'm eating my rainbow. I tend not to do more than four or five days in advance which has it's ups and downs. Real food tends to spoil quicker than processed crap, but it's also a pain to go to the store so often. SOOOOOO, I try to eliminate all that drama by ordering my meat from US Wellness, my veggies from an organic buying club, and whatever else is left from VitaCost or Amazon. Somehow, I still find myself at the grocery store every Monday. I'm rambling. And about nothing. Who am I right now??
Ok, ok, ok. Here's the meal plan for the next four days. Eat and like it!
BTW, I'm watching Magic Mike right now. It sucks. I mean, sure half naked guys are legit...but it's a terrible movie.
Day 1
Paleo Meatloaf - this is choke full of veggies, so you really don't need a side dish. If you must, I suggest steamed, peeled, whole carrots or a sweet potato.
Day 2
Crock pot apricot chicken
*I personally prefer breast to thighs (Hahaha! Ok, I'm immature. YOU grow up!). It's your world though. Add a green and a veggie - yes, I distinguish a difference between greens and veggies - and BAM! There's your meal. (I promise never to say BAM! again. Maybe). You can sauté some kale and have steamed carrots, baked butternut, or baked sweet potato.
Day 3
Taco scramble with THIS seasoning
Day 4
Bacon apple crock pot chicken
And there ya have. Four days of Paleo dinners. Enjoy!
