When you’re armed with a list of foods and color-coded Portion-Control Containers to measure your portions, eating healthy one day at a time is no sweat.
With these 21 Day Fix meal plans below, we’ll show you how to keep things surprisingly simple.
Easy 21 Day Fix Meal PlanWe used shortcuts to create menus that require almost no cooking.
You’ll notice that each of these meal plans combines a handful of quick-cooking ingredients, like a big batch of oatmeal, ground turkey sautéed in a pan, or a variety of vegetables roasted at the same time.
The rest of the meals rely on combinations of raw ingredients, like salads, fruits and nuts, or prepared items like hummus and peanut butter.
To mix things up, two of the menus incorporate one easy recipe that makes enough servings for several days.
Use these shortcuts and simple menus to inspire your own meal prep.
You can easily swap in different fruits or vegetables, ground beef or tempeh instead of turkey, and starches like sweet potatoes or quinoa in place of rice or corn.
