Vegetarian or Vegan 21 day fix

This meal prep menu follows the 21 Day Fix Eating Plan for the 1200–1499 calorie level. It contains 3 green, 2 yellow, 2 purple, 4 red, 1 blue, 1 orange, and 2 tsp. per day. If you are eating at a higher calorie level, you can add containers to this meal plan using more of the same ingredients, or create additional snacks or meals for more variety.

Vegetarian Meal Prep for 21 Day Fix

Meal 1 (Breakfast): ¾ cup reduced fat (1%) plain Greek yogurt with 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries), 2 tsp. chia seeds, and ½ tsp. honey (1 red, 1 purple, ½ orange)
Variations: Substitute ½ large banana, 1 mango, or 1 peach for berries and 1 Tbsp. shredded unsweetened coconut, or 1 Tbsp. flaxseeds, or 1 Tbsp. sunflower seeds for chia seeds.
Meal 2 (Snack): 1 packet Shakeology with 1 tsp. peanut butter (1 red, 1 tsp.)
Meal 3 (Lunch M/W/F): 1 cup kale, ½ cup snowpeas, ¼ cup shredded carrot, ¼ cup chopped red bell pepper, cilantro, basil, ½ cup edamame, ½ cup grapes, ¼ avocado, 1 Tbsp. salad dressing (we used the Asian Vinaigrette recipe in the FIXATE cookbook) (2 green, 1 yellow, ½ purple, 1 blue, ½ orange)
Tip: To chop kale, remove the stems, then roll leaves together into a ball and slice. Squeeze chopped leaves roughly a few times. This is called “massaging” the kale, and will make it more tender and easier to digest.
Meal 3 (Lunch T/Th): 2 cups raw spinach, ½ cup cooked quinoa, ½ cup sliced strawberries, 1 Tbsp. goat cheese, 1 Tbsp. sliced almonds, 1 Tbsp. Honey Mustard Dressing (2 green, 1 yellow, ½ purple, 1 blue, ½ orange)

Meal 4 (Post-Workout): ¾ cup reduced fat (2%) cottage cheese with ½ cup cubed pineapple (1 red, ½ purple)
Variations: Substitute ½ cup berries, ½ peach, or ½ cubed mango for pineapple
Meal 5 (Dinner M/W/F): ½ cup black beans, ¾ cup tempeh, ¾ cup halved cherry tomatoes, ¼ cup chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, drizzled with 1 tsp. olive oil and 2 Tbsp. lime juice (free) (1 yellow, 1 red, 1 green, 1 tsp.)
Meal 5 (Dinner T/Th): ½ cup cooked brown rice, ¾ cup firm tofu, ½ cup sliced onion, and 1 cup spinach sautéed in 1 tsp. olive oil. Drizzle with reduced-sodium tamari soy sauce (free) (1 yellow, 1 red, 1 green, 1 tsp.)
Tip: Cook onions first in ½ the oil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until they turn golden brown. Add spinach, cook until spinach wilts. Remove vegetables from pan. Pat dry tofu with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, then slice into cubes. Drizzle remaining oil into hot pan, add tofu. Cook for two minutes, then flip each piece of tofu and cook an additional 1–2 minutes.
Variation: Substitute 2 poached eggs for tofu
