I have had SO many people over the last few years ask about meal planning. And you know what? I don’t plan much because I’m constantly making you guys new recipes so I have food in my house on a regular basis. My fridge is usually stocked with some sort of new recipe or at least some sort of food to throw together. But I don’t have the normal 9-5 job or kids or baseball practice or business school classes at night. You guys do! So me telling you to cook this or that in some order isn’t going to conform to each and everyone one of you and your different lifestyles.

But luckily, that day has finally changed. I now have an absolutely awesome meal planning tool for you guys. Thanks to fabulously creative people Antony and Emily, you now have one of the most comprehensive and powerful meal planning services right at your fingertips. Real Plans makes planning your weeknight dinners, quick morning meals and even afternoon snacks easier than ever. No more guessing on how to make the whole family happy because Real Plans makes it easier than ever.


Husband doesn’t like pork? That’s fine, exclude it from your weekly meals. Then divorce him. Kidding kidding, relax. Someone eating AIP in your household? No problem, just click AIP. Need some takeout style food this week? Just click on Asian. Real Plans settings makes customizing your meals easier than ever. No more scouring the internet for pork free, AIP friendly, restaurant style food. You have it all in one place! Everything you could think of, it’s customizable with Real Plans.

So once you choose from the many recipes in their system or upload one of your favorites and import into your meal planner, then you will instantly have a shopping list that is segmented into groups depending on where you’re at in the grocery store! The list can also be viewed on your phone via their app and you can even take a picture of the ingredient to save for later. So you’ll never have your significant other calling and asking what the hell yuca is or what it looks like. It’s right there!

They also create a timeline for you, which I think is one of the coolest parts. How many times have you walked into your house at 7pm to cook dinner then figured out you were suppose to marinate something over night. Quickly your goals for making a healthy dinner fly out the door. But with Real Plans timeline, every day they tell you what you need to do that day, whether it’s hitting the grocery store, thawing out meat, or prepping a recipe for later on.

But say you’re just not sure what to make this week. Deciding can be annoying when you do that in every other facet of your life. Well, they have this super cool tool called Recipe Roulette that randomly picks recipes to help you look at recipes you might have never looked at in the first place. Give it up a ‘thumbs down’ if you’re not interested or a ‘thumbs up’ if you want to add that to your menu that week! Perfect way to mix up your routine and get outside your food comfort zone!

PaleOMG + Real Plans

 

Real Plans has around 2500 recipes in their database, about 611 of which are PaleOMG recipes and that number is growing every week as I create more and more for you guys! That means you can easily search my recipes, easily add them into your meal planner, easily grocery shop, and easily put together a meal that everyone in your household will love!

I’m always getting emails about how to lose weight or get in shape or feel better. And the answer is: planning. “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” That quote has always stuck with me ever since I was in college and began my lifestyle of paleo and CrossFit. Because it’s 100% true. If you don’t plan out what you and your family are going to eat, how are you suppose to keep you and your family healthy? Being healthy is not easy, it’s not simple and it takes time and energy compared to eating fast food or microwave meals. But luckily more products, more apps, and more ideas are making health simpler as time goes on. That’s exactly what Real Plans is doing for the busy mom, the single dad, the college student, and everyone in between.

So what are your goals? Are you trying to lose weight, trying to get your health under control, trying to get the family on board with paleo? What is it? No more excuses and no more eating whatever is around you. It’s time for you to take control, take planning into your own hands, and make your healthy diet easier than ever! With Real Plans, making health a reality RIGHT NOW is possible!

If you’re ready to get started with Real Plans, you can try them out with a 30 day money back guarantee! Plans start as low as $6/month ($7 if you want to access my 600+ PaleOMG recipes) and you can also shop other amazing blogger recipes, too! No more wasting ingredients or fighting about what to make for dinner. Real Plans has solved all those issues to make your life easier and healthier than ever!

  2. Shannon says:

    Wow what timing for this post. My husband I were just talking this morning about meal planning. We both work fulltime and have a 18 month old daughter so we always feel like we never have time to plan meals or cook when we get home since we’re so busy. I feel so overwhelmed trying to meal plan and maintain a healthy paleoish lifestyle. All my free time in the evenings I just want to spend with my daughter not planning out all our meals and cooking all night! Especially since my husband is picky about certain things and I have to also feed our daughter things that she will actually eat and not just throw on the floor! I will definitely be checking this out and hopefully it will help me get my life together! Thanks Juli!

    1. juli says:

    I signed up for a trial. So far it looks great. Lots of options! Really handy when you have a family to feed.
    Are really all your blog recipes in there?

    1. juli says:

  5. Alyssa says:

    WHAT?! My OCD brain is loving this. All my groceries sectioned off by type?! Ah I love it. Can’t wait to set up my account.

    1. juli says:

      omg you’re going to be OBSESSED with this then. it is OCD perfection

  6. Sue says:

    I’m with you Juli- failing to plan is planning to fail! I’ve finally lost my baby weight by really planning out my grocery shopping and my meals. If you have the right food sitting in the fridge it is pretty tough to not make the right choices! $7/month seems like a bargain! The plan I used to lose weight was $60/month!

  7. Maria says:

    Great idea!!! I have said time and time again that I need to plan our meals better. I consistently go to the grocery store with my same and I stress the word same boring list only to find that when I go to make a meal I either have nothing to make or I only have half of the ingredients to make it! Looking forward trying this out!!!

    juli!

    I just wanted to say that my mom and I are OBSESSED with your blog. I’m 26, a recent medical school grad and am fairly new to a crossfit style gym. After joining this gym, I started eating paleo and have never felt leaner/stronger (even compared to my short collegiate swimming career…) I felt so great that I suggested my parents try it out. We have all found a new love for cooking, trying new recipes and are even trading your cookbooks back and forth!

    keep up the good work and THANK YOU!

    PS were obsessed with our dog too.

    1. juli says:

      yayyyyyy this is so awesome to hear! thank you so much, lauren! so glad i’ve been able to help you AND your family out!!!

  9. Kate says:

    This is literally amazeballs.

  10. Lauren says:

    This is so neat! I would pay an extra dollar to eat only PaleOMG recipes 😀 Does it allow for daily macros (C/P/F) percentages to be broken down?
