A glimpse into my daily meal plan...21 Day Fix approved!

Here's my day in a nutshell -1200 calories

...3 green, 2 purple, 4 red, 2 yellow, 1 blue, 1 orange, 2 teaspoons 



I try to buy all organic especially meats. 

I'm always sure to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day...to know exactly how much water YOU need, take your weight and divide it by 2 and that's how many ounces your body needs daily.

Since I work from home most days, I don't really need to meal prep like most BUT I do find time on Sunday night to wash and cut all my veggies, grill some chicken and cut fruit and boil eggs for the week so there's less to do during the week when it's time to eat! 

Breakfast: 1 cup of herbal tea...this is my fave...no need to add ANYTHING!!!                              It has such an AMAZING flavor! 

                 2 eggs over easy or scrambled (1 red)

                 1 slice of Ezekiel 4:9 grain bread (1 yellow)

                 1 medium orange sliced (1 purple)

                 1/4 Avocado seasoned with fresh cracked pepper & Himalayan sea                             salt

Pre-workout Snack: 2 boiled eggs (1 red)

                                 Pumpkin Seeds (1 orange)

                                 Pre workout (gives me energy to push hard through my 

                                 workout)

Lunch: Vegan protein Shake (1 red)

            almond butter or peanut butter 

            (2 teaspoons)

Afternoon Snack: JUICE (sooooo good for you!!!) (3 green, 1 purple)

                          

Green Juice Ingredients:
3/4 cups water (Put in blender first)

1 cup kale
1 green apple, cored
1/4 cup parsley leaves
1/2 medium cucumber
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 Tablespoon of lemon juice
OPTIONAL 1 (1/2-inch) piece of ginger, peeled 
A lot of times I'll need an extra fruit serving in my day so I'll add some frozen strawberries and banana to taste! It gives it a more smoothie like taste and texture ;-)

Equipment: juicer or blender and use a fine mesh sieve (optional if you prefer to not drink the pulp)

Dinner: grilled chicken or fish (1 red)

             brown rice or sweet potato (1 yellow) 

             Broccoli cauliflower mix (1 green)

Easy 4 Step Veggie Bowls

I love this concept because you can get very creative with this meal as there are so many different varieties you can make this one YUMMY!

The great thing about these meals is that these ingredients are SUPER EASY to prep for the week! I like to prep on Sunday night and make these for my lunches throughout the week! Yum right?! Who doesn't like SIMPLE?

Write down all the ingredients you would like for the week...maybe pick two different combos then head to the grocery to pick up your ingredients! If you'd like to add any meat, PLEASE be sure you buy organic! I know buying organic is not cheap but if you can only buy one thing organic, please choose meat!!! That's a whole other topic I'll try to touch on this week, but for now, just trust me!

Cook quinoa or brown rice
Cut up all veggies and cook any you want cooked
Make your homemade dressing
Rinse your beans

Combine each meal into the containers for the week and dressing on the side.

A DIABETES friendly option would be to substitute the rice or quinoa or a bed of lettuce and extra beans. ;-)

ENJOY!!!  :-)

Post below your favorite combo and dressings!
