A Detailed PALEO Week to Cut Your Cook Time!

We did all the work for you: here’s a meal plan with cooking schedule and costs!

The “HOW TO” part of meal planning, budgeting and mouth feeding without spending all week in the kitchen.

I created this paleo week menu and game-plan as a snap-shot example of how to incorporate a range of budgets into a single week (from A-grade to C-grade meals) and still come out at UNDER $250 per person for a monthly grocery estimate… while fulfilling Calorie and nutrient needs.

Research supports eating a vegan or pesca-vegan diet to promote a more healthful longevity, so I’ve also included a vegan rendition for this week. The vegan and non-vegan meals are all included in a single file. In other words – each recipe is not just Paleo, it is also either inherently vegan or easily made into a vegan meal.

Use this handy PDF file for detailed informative examples.
