A Look at This Week’s Healthy Meal Plan

Welcome back to another week of wholesome and delicious eating! We’re thrilled to share our latest weekly meal plan, packed with family-friendly recipes designed to simplify your healthy lifestyle. If you haven’t yet explored the comprehensive 21 Day Fix Meal Plan Vol. 16 that was recently published, we highly recommend checking it out first. It’s garnered fantastic reviews and offers a complete, structured approach to healthy eating that many have found incredibly beneficial.

For this week’s lineup, we’ve included some clever pro tips to streamline your cooking process and enhance your culinary experience:

• **Effortless Monday Dinner:** Kicking off the week, we’re featuring a mouthwatering Air Fryer Whole Chicken. If you don’t own an Air Fryer, fear not! You can easily substitute it with the Spice Rubbed Instant Pot Whole Chicken, or for ultimate convenience, pick up a store-bought rotisserie chicken. This ensures your Monday meal is both satisfying and incredibly easy to prepare.
• **Versatile Breakfast Pairing:** Our Healthy Lemon Blueberry Bread is a delightful treat on its own, but it truly shines when paired with a savory protein. Consider serving it alongside Air Fryer Turkey Bacon or Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs, perhaps seasoned with some Everything Bagel Seasoning, for a balanced and fulfilling start to your day.
• **Smart Lunch Choices:** To maximize your veggie intake and offer flexibility with your yellow containers, Low Carb Stuffed Pepper Soup is an excellent lunch option. Another fantastic and comforting choice is the Easy Chicken Veggie Soup – a forgotten favorite that perfectly complements this week’s menu!
• **A Healthier Sweet Treat:** Have you seen the *new* recipe for Healthier Homemade Tagalongs? For our 21 Day Fix followers, these delicious treats require a yellow treat swap, but they are absolutely worth it! Make a batch now and freeze them – they’ll be ready to enjoy when all the tempting Easter candy starts appearing, offering you a guilt-free indulgence.

For 21 Day FIX | Portion Fix Meal Plan Enthusiasts

For all our dedicated 21 Day Fix and Portion Fix followers, we’ve made tracking your containers incredibly simple this week. All five dinners and the featured breakfast recipe are already pre-loaded into a convenient meal planning spreadsheet, available right here. This spreadsheet is designed to take the guesswork out of portioning, allowing you to easily visualize your container counts for each meal.

Once you have your dinners and breakfast sorted, simply add in your preferred lunches and snacks, and make any personalized adjustments to fit your specific calorie bracket and preferences. To get the most out of this resource, follow these steps: click the spreadsheet link, make a copy when prompted, and save it directly to your computer. Please note that while accessible, the functionality may not be as smooth on a mobile phone as it is on a desktop or laptop.

If you prefer a more traditional approach to meal planning and tracking, we also offer these helpful printable and digital tools:

• 21 Day Fix Meal Planner PDF: Perfect for those who love to plan with paper and pencil.
• 2B Mindset spreadsheet tracking tool: An alternative tracking tool for those following the 2B Mindset program.

These resources are here to support you in achieving your fitness and health goals by making meal planning and tracking as efficient and stress-free as possible.

Guidance for Weight Watchers Meal Plan Followers

We understand the importance of clear and accurate point information for our Weight Watchers members. Our team is diligently working to convert every recipe on the site to align with the new WW points system, ensuring you have the most up-to-date information at your fingertips. This is an ongoing process, and we appreciate your patience as we make these essential updates.

For now, you’ll find that some recipes still include a direct link that allows you to calculate your personal points, while others have the new points already explicitly listed. In either scenario, the most reliable place to find the WW points information is within the “notes” section of the recipe card located on each individual blog post. We are committed to providing you with the tools you need to easily integrate our delicious and healthy recipes into your Weight Watchers plan. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we adapt to the new system!
