The monthly breakfast and lunch prep plan for September is here!

Packed with five weeks of recipes, grocery lists, and weekly prep day guides to get us through the whole month.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been getting ready for fall recipes and putting the final touches on all the new recipes coming in September. I’m so excited for you to try all the new things coming your way! And the official start is this meal prep plan.

Nonetheless, I wanted to strike that balance of late summer and early fall. I’m fully ready for the new season (it’s my favorite to cook through!), but I also know the weather still needs to catch up. So you’ll find a refreshing mix throughout the month.

This post will walk you through everything you need—the recipes, grocery lists, prep day plans, storage instructions, and much more—to efficiently prep your way through September. Get everything all in one printable or downloadable PDF.

New here? Welcome! Every month, paid subscribers receive a full breakfast and lunch meal prep plan, plus three weekly dinner plans and subscriber-only recipes so you don’t have to think about meal planning. Join the meal prep community for $5/month!

let's do it!

The prep plan makes breakfast and lunch for one person for the entire month. Scale up the lists and recipe measurements as needed to fit your needs: 2x for two people, 3x for three, and so on! All recipes are gluten-free and include swaps to suit your needs. Need more swaps? Just ask me in the comments, and I’ll get back to you!

✅ Every week includes a color-coded grocery list, prep day plan, and recipe PDFs.

✅ Each recipe includes storage instructions for refrigerating/freezing (& reheating!). When you can, freeze the meals in individual portions to make thawing easier down the line—sometimes we’re pulling out just one serving.

✅ Macros are included for all recipes; just click the “macros” link.

✅ Follow the plan to use up all the meals throughout the month! Some weeks the food you prep all goes right to the freezer. Check the full calendar for when you’ll pull it out later in the month. Looking for other plan options? Here head.
