Morrisons Batch-Friendly Weekly Menopause Nutrition Plan — 1,800 kcal
General meal planning with protein, fibre and calcium-rich foods. This 7-day plan targets 1,800 kcal/day and averages 107g of protein, built around Morrisons's Savers for an estimated £45–65/week. Meals are chosen to hold up after a few days in the fridge or freezer — stews, chillies, tray bakes and grain bowls — rather than anything that goes soggy or dries out on reheating.

The One Appliance This Plan Assumes
This is a batch plan built around slow-cooked meals — the kind of cooking a slow cooker does unattended while you are out. A 3.5L bowl suits the portion counts here. If you already own one, you need nothing else for this plan.

Slow cookerBudget-to-mid range
Crock-Pot Slow Cooker, 3.5L
The classic entry-level Crock-Pot: two heat settings, a removable ceramic bowl for easy cleaning, and a size that suits most households cooking 3-5 portions at once.
Best forA standard household batch cooking stews, curries and casseroles
Good to knowNo timer or digital display on this entry model, so you set it and check back manually.
This plan uses repeated weekday bases so the Sunday prep instruction matches the actual meals.
Prepare five portions of Chia and Oat Overnight Pot with Berries for quick breakfasts.
Cook and portion five lunches of Turkey Mince and Brown Rice Meal Prep Bowl.
Batch cook Teriyaki Tofu with Brown Rice and Broccoli and Three-Bean Vegetable Chilli with Brown Rice as the main dinner bases, then alternate them Monday to Friday.
Portion snacks in advance: Smoked Salmon on Cucumber Slices, Oat Biscuits with Peanut Butter, Apple and Peanut Butter, Dark Chocolate and Almonds, and Tzatziki with Vegetable Dippers.
Cool everything quickly and get it into the fridge within one to two hours.
Refrigerate only the portions you will eat within two days — freeze the rest straight away, and move each one to the fridge the night before you need it. Freezing the later part of the week is a food-safety step, not a freshness preference.
Strong on fresh counters and in-store production, mid-priced against the rest of the big four.
