Hey there, dedicated healthy eaters!
It’s truly inspiring to witness the enthusiasm and positive results from those of you who’ve followed along with our previous Full Meal Plans. Your feedback is invaluable, motivating us to continuously deliver fresh, exciting, and accessible meal ideas throughout the year. We believe that maintaining a healthy lifestyle should be a journey of discovery and enjoyment, not one of endless restrictions.
This week, we’re excited to present our regular weekly plan, meticulously crafted with five delicious dinner recipes and a fantastic breakfast idea to fuel your days. Planning ahead is key to success, and we’ve got your back! If you’re seeking a wonderfully satisfying and convenient lunch option, I highly recommend prepping my Sloppy Joe Stuffed Sweet Potatoes. They are perfect for preparing in advance and reheating throughout the week, ensuring you always have a wholesome meal ready to go. Within my new SUPPORTERS group, we often discuss the importance of “eating from the top of the list” – focusing on nutrient-dense foods. Sweet potatoes are a prime example, offering complex carbohydrates and vital nutrients, making them an excellent choice for your yellow container options.
To further boost your meal prep efficiency, I frequently freeze portions of Quinoa. This simple trick allows me to quickly grab a healthy, whole-grain side when my family might be having rice, ensuring I stick to my 21 Day Fix goals effortlessly. Quinoa, a complete protein and a versatile yellow container, pairs beautifully with our brand new Hibachi Chicken Recipe, which is featured as Thursday’s dinner – don’t miss it!
What makes this week’s plan even more exceptional? Three of our featured dinners, alongside the breakfast quiche, yield six servings each. This provides a fantastic opportunity to engage in batch cooking and stock your freezer with ready-to-eat meals using practical tools like SouperCubes! Having a convenient backup of healthy dinners or lunches readily available can be a true lifesaver on hectic days, during unexpected schedule changes, or when you simply need a quick, nutritious option without the stress of cooking from scratch.
As always, all five dinner recipes and the breakfast idea for this week are pre-loaded into our intuitive, self-calculating *7-day template* meal planning spreadsheet, which you can access here. This powerful tool takes the guesswork out of container counting; simply add your chosen lunch and snacks, and the spreadsheet automatically adjusts your 21 Day Fix container counts. We understand that life happens, so if you need to swap ingredients or make minor modifications, feel free to do so – the spreadsheet will seamlessly update your totals, ensuring you stay on track effortlessly.
For our valued subscribers, an exclusive list of step-by-step prep tips, meticulously designed to make your meal preparation even smoother and more efficient, has already been delivered straight to your inbox.

Groceries:
- 2 T butter (enhances the richness and overall flavor of the soup base)
- 1/2 yellow onion
- 1 1/2 cups of carrots (adds natural sweetness, vibrant color, and beneficial beta-carotene)
- 1 1/2 cups of celery (a classic aromatic that contributes to the soup’s depth)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms (contributes umami flavor and essential nutrients)
- 1 cup wild rice (a healthy, whole-grain option packed with fiber and essential minerals)

Tuesday: Mexican Lasagna
Add a vibrant kick to your Tuesday with this exciting and deeply satisfying Mexican Lasagna! This family-friendly dish is a flavorful twist on a classic, featuring layers of lean protein, wholesome corn tortillas, and fresh vegetables. It’s an excellent example of how healthy eating can be incredibly delicious and full of zest, without compromising on nutritional value.
21 Day Fix: 2/3 RED, 1 GREEN, 1 YELLOW, 2/3 BLUE plus toppings (per serving) | WW: Green, Blue, Purple – 9 points (per serving) | [Recipe makes 6 servings]
Tip for FIXers: When following the 21 Day Fix, careful tracking of your daily container allowances is essential, particularly for the BLUE container, which often includes healthy fats like cheese or avocado. If you’re enjoying the Crustless Zucchini Quiche for breakfast today (which contributes 1/2 BLUE from cheese), it’s important to adjust the cheese content in your Mexican Lasagna. By reducing the shredded cheddar cheese to a total of 1 cup for the entire recipe, each lasagna serving will then contribute 1/2 BLUE, effectively helping you stay within your allotted daily BLUE container count and ensuring optimal balance in your nutrition plan.
Groceries:
- 2 bell peppers (adds brilliant color, a satisfying crunch, and a boost of essential vitamins)
- 1 medium onion
- 1 lb lean ground sirloin or other protein (a high-quality, lean source of protein for muscle building and satiety)
- 2 T salt free taco seasoning (allows you to control sodium levels while infusing authentic Mexican flavors)
- 1 1/3 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or reduce to 1 cup for the entire recipe if adjusting for daily blue container limits)
- 3/4 cup of refried beans (adds beneficial fiber and a creamy texture to the layers)
- 1/4 cup of corn (provides a delightful touch of natural sweetness)
- 1 can of Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies for a flavorful, spicy kick)
- olive oil cooking spray
- 8 gluten free corn tortillas, cut in half (a wholesome, whole-grain yellow container option)
- Optional toppings – fresh cilantro, 2/3 c. avocado (a source of healthy monounsaturated fats!), sliced jalapeño, and a tangy cilantro lime yogurt sauce (to enhance freshness and overall flavor profile)
Wednesday: Healthy Instant Pot Baked Ziti
Indulge in a healthier rendition of a beloved Italian classic with our Healthy Instant Pot Baked Ziti. This recipe captures all the rich, comforting flavors you adore, but it’s crafted with lighter ingredients and harnesses the convenience of your Instant Pot for a quick and satisfying weeknight meal. It’s a hearty dish that brings the warmth of Italian home cooking to your table, perfect for a family dinner.
21 Day Fix: 1 RED, 1 1/4 GREEN, 1 YELLOW, 2/3 BLUE, 1/3 TSP (per serving) | WW: Green, Blue, Purple – 11 points (per serving) | [Recipe makes 6 servings]
Tip for FIXers: Just like with Tuesday’s meal, mindful container tracking is crucial for optimal 21 Day Fix results. If you’re planning to have the Crustless Zucchini Quiche (which accounts for 1/2 BLUE container from cheese) for breakfast today, you’ll want to carefully modify the cheese content in your Baked Ziti. By utilizing a combined total of 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and Pecorino Romano for the entire ziti recipe, each serving will remain at 1/2 BLUE, allowing you to thoroughly enjoy both meals while staying perfectly aligned with your daily BLUE container allowance.
Groceries:
- olive oil cooking spray
- 1 ¼ lean ground beef or Italian poultry sausage (provides a substantial protein source with reduced saturated fat)
- ½ onion
- olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- Himalayan salt
- 2 ¼ cups of gluten free pasta (a wholesome yellow container option, ensuring a hearty meal)
- 1 (28oz) can crushed tomatoes (forms the base for a rich, deeply flavorful sauce)
- 2 T fresh basil (or 1 tsp dried – essential for authentic Italian aroma and taste)
- dried oregano
- 2 cups of chopped spinach (an excellent way to boost your green containers and add vital nutrients)
- ¾ cup of ricotta cheese (contributes to the creamy, luscious texture of the ziti)
- 1 cup of freshly shredded or cubed mozzarella (adjust quantity if modifying for blue container limits)
- ⅓ cup of Pecorino Romano or high quality Parmesan Cheese (adds a sharp, salty, and savory depth of flavor)

21 Day Fix: 1 RED, 1 GREEN, 1 1/2 TSP, 1 ORANGE (per serving) | WW: Green – 11 points, Blue – 8 points, Purple – 8 points (per serving) | [Recipe makes 4 servings]
Tip: Elevate your Hibachi Chicken experience by serving it alongside a complementary, healthy side dish. Consider Brown Rice for a fulfilling whole-grain option, Quinoa for a protein-packed and complete grain alternative, or Cauliflower Rice for a lighter, lower-carb, and veggie-boosted choice.

- sprinkle of salt
