21 Day Fix - Week 3 Meal Plan

21 Day Fix - Week 3

Week 3 meal plan is a little repetitive, but it is the food I like. Plus very easy non-cook meals or those meals that are little time to prepare.  Results don't always have to come from hours in the kitchen! 

A Look Inside My Fridge

 What's In My Fridge??

1) Brita water pitcher!!! Gotta drink up that water!! 

2) Fresh pineapple juice (Mostly for the hubby to mix with Shakeology.)

3) Can't Believe It's Not Butter Light (for those times I want a little butter this does the trick!)

4) Eggs (We eat this for breakfast everyday in every form)

5) Grapes. (After grocery shopping we separate servings of grapes in little baggies for on the go snake that are quick to grab)

6) Tomatoes (I don't really like them raw, but if you do POWER to YOU! I do eat them cooked though and in guacamole. You can make homed pasta sauces, sauces for all types of meats, salsas, etc)

7) Unsweetened, Plain Applesauce

8) Dijon Mustard

9) Greek Yogurt, Plain (Great substitute for sour cream when you have a chance)

10) Light Vanilla Yogurt (Also good for freezing for frozen yogurt)

11) Watermelon (All cut up and ready to snack on)

12) Guacamole (Set up for my turbo wraps and for a quick snack)

13) Fresh blueberries (Love them in yogurt & whole wheat pancakes)

14) Apples

15) Sprouts (Love them in salads and sandwiches)

16) Baked potatoes & sweet potatoes

17) Broccoli Slaw (Great steamed or cooked with pasta sauce)

18) Mixed Lettuce (I try not to do Iceberg so it doesn't really have a nutritional value)

19) Fresh spinach (For sandwiches, to cook, for salads)

20) My bottom drawers of the fridge are full of veggies: lettuces, peppers, bean sprouts, etc.

Other drawer has meats: Lean turkey, provolone cheese, turkey sausage & bacon, ham)

Sorry for the bad freezer pic, but here's what I got stocked in it:

1) Tons of frozen chicken. We buy it and separate into baggies and freeze

2) Sweet potato fries for those lazy days

3) Flank steak 

4) Tilapia

5) Turkey burgers

6) Beef burgers (Gotta eat them once in awhile)

7) Frozen veggies

8) Looks like ice but I actually freeze sofrito in it to use for quick cooking & the other one has chipotle peppers I blended earlier and freeze 

9) Frozen broccoli (Can you tell I love broccoli?)

10) Frozen yuca

11) Empanada Discs (Not healthy, but gotta make them once in a great whole)

12) More frozen veggies (Peas, spinach, edamame, etc)

13) More frozen chipotle & sofrito in baggies

Infused Latin Chicken

Infused Latin Chicken

Made the most yummy chicken sandwich the other day!!! I am very proud of my creation! It was quick, simple, & delish!!!

Recipe: (Makes 2 servings)

Ingredients:

1 chicken breast 

2 teaspoons of olive oil

1 packet of Sazon w/ Annatto

(found in Hispanic section of supermarket)

1 tsp Garlic powder

1 tablespoon Oregano (or I add more cause I'm obsessed)

Salt & Pepper to taste (very little salt)

1 tablespoon Onion powder

2 whole wheat bread rolls

Toppings of your choice (Avocado, Tomatoes, Onions, Lettuce, light spread of greek yogurt or mustard)

Directions: 

1. Slice 1 chicken breast through the middle to make two thin slices. Pound out if you want it thinner.

2. Heat up 2 tsp of oil in pan

3. Season 1 side of both pieces of chicken with half of the seasonings and put seasoned side down in pan.

4. While one side is cooking, put the remaining seasonings on the side of chicken facing up.

5. When almost cooked through flip chicken over to other side

6. Put the bread rolls on top of a pan with no oil just to toast up.

7. Place desired toppings.

For low carb you can eat the chicken without the bread roll or do only bread on the bottom, leaving off the top piece.

My veggies are just steamed broccoli and broccoli slaw with a little pepper and lemon for seasoning.

 

Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken

Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken

This is one of my favorite chicken recipes of all time!!! So flavorful, yummy, & tastes like a restaurant dish and can be made in under 10 minutes with very few ingredients. I have tried it with all types of herbs and great all ways!!! Heaven on a plate!! I got this recipe from Jessica Seinfield's website: DoItDelicious.com. She has great recipe books as well. It is an amazing site and she has a video of her cooking it on the Foreman grill in less then 10 min. Check it out here. Let me know what you think!

Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich

 Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich

When in doubt with what to make, my fav go to sandwich is peanut butter & banana. SO yummy! It is like a desert to me.


Just toast whole wheat bread. When you toast it the bread becomes warm so that when you spread on the peanut butter it goes on smooth and gooey!! SI amazing!! And slice bananas like I did or even as little circles in between. Enjoy!!!

Garlic Flank or Skirt Steak

Garlic/Lime Flank or Skirt Steak


Recipe:


2 pieces flank steak or skirt steak
1 squeezed lime
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
3-4 tablespoons garlic minced or from jar (depends on your taste)
1 1/2 tablespoons of oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
Pepper & salt to taste




Simple recipe. 

Simply place all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk to make a marinade. You can either precut the strips or put the steak in a plastic bag whole like I did for 3-4 hours or overnight. I then used my Foreman grill to grill the steak so I did not use oil. Afterwards cut the steak against the grain to enjoy as is or in corn or whole wheat tortillas as tacos.

Grilled Avocado

Need I say more....
Found this on Pinterest...not my recipe. This will become part of my weekly eating.


Cut an avocado in half, sprinkle with olive oil and lime juice, and place face down on the grill for five minutes. Then fill with salsa and sour cream, and sprinkle on a little more lime juice.
