And I’m back with a bunch of 21 Day Fix lunch ideas. I’m trying to avoid the salad rut, so I’ve been experimenting with some new lunch ideas. You’ll see that my go-to veggies are bell peppers and onions. I prep them and freeze them until needed. You can swap in your preferred veggies or whatever you have on hand.
Make that morning
Sandwich with fruit: 2 yellow, 1 red, 1 blue, 1 purple
Assemble a sandwich with two slices of bread, meat (normally turkey or chicken), a container (or a slice) of cheese, and serve with a container of fruit (usually grapes).
Salad with chicken: 2-3 green, 1 red, 1 orange, 1 blue, 1 spoon
Toss lettuce, spinach, mixed veggies, and grilled chicken. You can add dressing, nuts, or olives for extra flavor. This is a great way to knock out a few green containers in one meal.
Chicken Gyro: 2 red, 1 yellow, 2 green, 1 blue
Split a pita. Spread either hummus (blue) or Greek yogurt (red) on each half of the pita. Add chicken, lettuce, and cucumbers.
Quesadilla: 2 yellow, 2 red, 1 green, 1 blue, 1 spoon
Saute a green container of Mix a half portion of both black beans and corn to make one yellow container. Layer chicken or beef with black bean-corn mixture, mixed veggies, and cheese on one half of a tortilla. Fold the tortilla over and grill until cheese is melted.
Cook once, eat all week
Stir-fry bowl: 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green, 1 spoon
Saute chicken or beef with mixed veggies (broccoli, peppers, onions) in a spoon of oil and serve over steamed rice. You can scramble an egg or two and add them into the rice as an extra red.
Burritos or wraps: 1 red, 1 yellow, 1-2 green, 1 blue
Layer a piece of lettuce, meat, cheese, and veggies on a tortilla.
Burrito bowl: 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green, 1 spoon
Saute chicken or beef with mixed veggies (peppers and onions) in a spoon of oil and serve over steamed rice. You can add an extra red container with Greek yogurt as a sour cream replacement.
Loaded potato: 1 yellow, 1-2 red, 1 green, 1 blue
Saute a container of veggies. Good options here include broccoli, bell peppers, and onions. Bake and split a small potato or a sweet potato. Top with shredded meat (like chicken or beef), your cooked veggies, Greek yogurt, and cheese.
