So…here’s the situation. I’m usually not into things like the 21 Day Fix. I’m more of a traditional “eat healthy and work out” type of person. However, the program interested me as I started to hear more and more about it because it doesn’t actually restrict what you eat and don’t eat – it just guides you on proper portion sizes for each food group and ensures that you get balanced mealsthroughout the day. I had been wanting to try it for a while, but I was nervous that it would be impossible to come up with yummy recipes for the blog that fit into the parameters of 21-Day-Fix-ness. Eventually, my friend convinced me to do it with her, and thatis where our story begins. Once upon a time, in a random town in the middle of Kansas, I was sitting in my tiny kitchen and ordered the 21 Day Fix……
Okay, but fo reals –I started the programin the middle of February, and I am totally in love with it. Not only are the workouts awesome, but Shakeology is the BEST THING EVER, and the food has been fantastic! You have a lot of space and wiggle room to create delicious meals, andyou always feel awesome.
So, on that note, I decided to compile twenty one of these delicious 21 Day Fix recipes (twenty one 21 Day Fix recipes…get it? Get it? I felt clever) that I have publishedover the last few months into one big post! To start it off, we haaavvveeeeeee….
