This week’s Weight Watchers friendly meal plan is my super speedy, quick and easy, meal plan. There is just something about the casual laid back nature of summer that makes me want to just get in and out of the kitchen. No fuss. No mess. Are you with me? I just want to cook it, eat it, and get back outside. I hope you love how quick and easy this week’s recipes are.

Our last meal plan was perfect for people who love to cook on the grill, with six recipes that can all be made on the grill outside. This week’s meal plan is designed with a different group of people in mind.

I actually had four groups of people in mind when I created this meal plan:

1. People who would rather be outside. Do you just want to eat and get back to do what you love? If you do, then this time-saving meal plan is for you.
2. People who come home tired after a long day at work. Do you get home and want to eat reasonably, but the thought of taking time to cook just feels like too much? If that’s you, then give yourself a break and give this meal plan a try.
3. People who have medical issues. From time to time I get an email, a message, or a comment from an MPM readers who is going through a challenging time medically and it is keeping them from being able to expend too much energy for too long of a time. First of all, if this is you, I am sorry. I know this is a very difficult time for you. I want you to know that I had you mind when I created this meal plan. My hope is that this meal plan will be a blessing to you.
4. People who are practical. I mean, why spend an hour on a meal when you can spend 10 minutes, right? For some of you just the thought of being efficient makes you feel giddy. This meal plan is also for you.

If fast and practical is your thing you might also like this service:

Another service that would be extremely helpful to those of you who fit in any of the categories above is Walmart’s pick up service, where you literally never have to set foot in the store! Just plug in online in all the ingredients you see on this list, click order, and set a time to pick up your food. Call when you get to the store and they will bring the food out to you! It’s amazingly efficient and I am convinced it is the absolute easiest way to shop.

What to do to prepare for this week:

Every recipe in this meal plan will take you 5-20 minutes, from start to finish, but there are a couple of things you should know to set yourself up for success.

Hard-boil the eggs.

To prepare for this week you will want to hard-boil 6 eggs and have them ready for the day when you make the egg salad sandwiches. I would recommend hard-boiling a dozen eggs, actually. Then you can use the extra six eggs for snacks or breakfasts. Hard-boiled eggs are a perfect snack or breakfast for anyone doing Weight Watchers because they are just 2 WW SP per egg and packed with protein.

Marinate the chicken.

The super simple marinated chicken really is a cinch to make, but it does require remembering to marinate the chicken 4 hours ahead of time, or overnight. The night before, or morning of, the day you are going to make the chicken, be sure to get the chicken in the fridge with the marinade ingredients in the recipe.

Ingredients for this week:

There are a couple of ingredients this week that I thought you might want to see a picture of before you head to the store, so you know what I had in mind when I made the recipe. Of course, you can buy whatever you like, but in the sea of endless salad dressings it may help to know specifically what kind I used.

In the Turkey-Walnut Honey Dijon Spinach Salad, the salad dressing I used was the Maple Grove Farms of Vermont Fat-Free Honey Dijon mustard. I thought by showing you this picture it would be easier to find in the grocery store, or online.

In the Coconut Shrimp with Apricot Sauce recipe I shared that I used sugar free apricot preserves, but also mentioned that you could skip the sauce if you wanted and still have a great tasting coconut shrimp. If you leave out the preserves and just eat the shrimp by itself you knock off one smart point per serving, making one serving just five Weight Watcher smart points.
