My Weekly Meal Prep Menu : Aug 14-18 (vegetarian & 21 Day Fix approved)

"Vegetarian-21-day-fix-recipes"

Hey, friends! Welcome to my weekly meal prep! Each week, to make sure I'm staying on top of my health and budget goals, I will create a meal plan and then spend a few hours on Sundays prepping for the days to come. Meal prepping is amazing; it saves me so much time and money. I prep enough food for Monday breakfast to Friday midday (post-workout). I leave my Friday nights & weekends free but keep staples in my house, such as eggs and extra veggies, so I can make quick meals when needed. [Want more inspiration? Check out my week ONE and week TWO  and week THREE menus!] I eat 5-6 small meals each day, roughly every 3-4 hours. This way, I never feel overly full or hungry; I'm content and have consistent energy. By eating…

10 Vegetarian 21 Day Fix Dinner Recipes

Vegetarian 21 Day Fix Dinner Recipes

                With all the success my post for 50 Vegetarian 21 Day Fix Recipes had (seriously, it's my most viewed + popular post to date!) I figured the demand was higher than I thought when it came to veggie friendly 21 day fix approved recipes. Don't get me wrong, I totally get it. The struggle is kind of real for a vegetarian finding fun and easy Fix approved recipes that still follow your dietary lifestyle. After playing around of Pinterest for quite some time (literally months, you guys….) I came to the conclusion that I cannot be the ONLY vegetarian 21 Day Fixer out there (I had a total Are you there God? It’s me, Margret moment for a second). So, to make my life easier (and for…

Avocado Chickpea Salad Sandwich 

Vegan Avocado Chickpea Salad Sandwich || If you're looking for a hearty meal (vegan or not) look no further! This amazing sandwich can be made in 5 minutes, is packed with nutrients, and GOOD for you food!

I'm pretty sure if they had support groups for people who loved Facebook food videos, I'd be the first one to sign up. I really love this new trend of short recipe clips flooding my timeline and am constantly jotting down ones that I 'neeeed to try asap'! Now if only someone would create a Pinterest-esq site for these quick food videos so that I could store them in a more effective way directly on Facebook... The other week, Buzzfeed Tasty posted a video featuring an avocado chick pea sandwich and I was super inspired. I absolutely love sandwiches that feature "salads". My infamous skinny fruit + nutty chicken salad recipe is a crowd favorite, but ever since going vegetarian almost a year ago, I've been hunting down subs for my past favorites. Once…

50 Vegetarian 21 Day Fix Recipes

  When I first started the 21 Day Fix, I was not a vegetarian (looking at you, cheesy shrimp pasta!) But, things have changed, tides have turned, documentaries have been watched, and here I am, 8 months later still going strong on this #veggielife. I'm a pretty big fan of the 21 Day Fix. For those of you that don't know about it, you basically follow a pretty simple + basic nutrition guide & workout for around 30 minutes a day to some DVDs. I wrote an entire post about it and dedicated a few -hours- of my time to create a sample 7 day meal plan to give you a glimpse into Fix life, so if you've been curious about what it entails, you should check that out -HERE-. But, the struggle is…

Banana Nut Bread Protein Bites

Banana Nut Bread Protein Bites

I'm not really sure why, but for the loooongest time I stayed far away from no-bake snacks and desserts. I was kind of intimidated by them because when I heard "...then use a food processor.." I would stop there. I love baking/cooking/inventing, but when it comes to messing with appliances, I'm kind of the worst. I've messed with food processors before, (like when I made this super tasty creamy roasted garlic hummus), which worked out great, but then the next time it just started smoking?? I don't know. I blame my previous clean up skills. There are just SO many parts, I'm sure I put one back wrong. So, just as I was accepting my basic appliance fate, everything changed + I was shown the light. My saint of a mom got me this super…

Sweet + Fruity Watermelon Pizza

Sweet and fruity Watermelon Pizza

As I told you before, I'm huge on making plays on typical foods in unusual ways. I actually made two variations of these pizzas. One savory and one sweet. I did that once before with butternut squash in college and made a competition post of some sorts (check back on my beginner blogger skills if you want to check that recipe out), and had the same plan to do that here. However. Something happened… I could not decide which I loved more. SO, in spirits of not playing favorites, I’m giving each watermelon pizza their own posts. Because they REALLY deserve it. [Check out the Savory Watermelon Pizza post here!] This kind of recipe is my favorite when I need something to bring along to group events. Summer is hot and in full swing,…

Savory Watermelon Pizza

Savory Watermelon Pizza

  If you're one of those people that is very technical on food names, I feel ya. However, hear me out here. While this recipe might now have the typical crust variable (ehem.. dough..), it does have sauce! and toppings! and CHEESE! Plus, it's cut up just like a pizza is and you can hold it, so I'm calling it a pizza and running with it. ;)   I actually made two variations of these pizzas. One savory and one sweet.

Free 21 Day Fix Week Long Meal Plan

"Easy-weekday-meal-ideas"

As many of you know, I'm a BeachBody coach and focus my excersize and meal plan around their program, The 21 Day Fix. According to BB, "It's not another diet. In fact, it's just the opposite. 21 Day Fix makes eating and fitness so simple, anyone can get great results. With 21 Day Fix there's no counting, no guessing, and no wondering. Just easy-to-follow portion control and one 30-minute workout per day. That's all." From the post, Skinny Breakfast Pizza I've had an influx of people ask me recently what exactly the 21 day fix is, what I think of it, and recipes + tips for those that are curious if the lifestyle is something that they can take on. I've done a few daily What I Ate on Wednesday posts (check out post #1,…
