These summer meal plan recipes won’t heat up your house a ton, and are full of healthy and lighter ingredients that won’t make you feel super full.

Summer is a great time to meal plan. I love taking advantage of the cool mornings and evenings to prep food for meals to eat when it’s too warm to cook.

I have to admit there are times when I want to be a bit lazy with my meal prep and this simple week of meals is perfect.

Easy Summer Meal Plan Recipes

Here’s how it works–you choose your meals from each section based on what type of food you prefer.

When I meal plan, I try to to eat leftovers for lunch and possibly dinner so don’t plan on making ALL of the food. Pick and choose what works for you. If you can find one recipe that you can eat all week long, that’s even better!

If you’re looking for a plan where all of your meals are laid out for you throughout the day and week, I’d recommend peeking at these Easy No Recipe Meal Plans:

Are you loving Shakeology as a protein supplement on the Fix? If so, you’re going to love how I create my 21 Day Fix Shakeology Meal Plan. It’s easy to make a meal plan on Portion Fix with the right tools – and I’ve got them!

Having a meal plan for the week saves me time and energy, and helps me stay on plan. A 21 Day Fix meal plan with Shakeology means that you can conquer those cravings with a protein-filled shake and plan for one less meal per day.

collage of images of Shakeology and recipe ideas with text

Of course, Shakeology is just one brand of protein powder – you can use any Fix approved protein powder in place of Shakeology.

The first thing you’ll want to do is find a place to write down your meal plan. You can write it in a notebook, or if you’re more of a techy person you can use a spreadsheet. I have a blank 21 Day Fix Meal Plan Spreadsheet right here for you. It’s set up for all brackets and allows you to plan your days full of healthy recipes for the most success.

21 Day Fix Meal Plan Ideas with Shakeology

I’ve got suggestions below for one shake a day as well as Fix approved recipes that have already been calculated for your portion control containers.

Remember, each bracket on the Fix nutrition plan pairs up with a certain calorie range. Eat exactly the number of containers in your bracket every day for the most weight loss. You’re going to take the suggestions below and plug them into the spreadsheet that I created for your meal plan.

These 21 Day Fix Vegetarian Meal Plan recipes are perfect for your healthy lifestyle! The delicious vegetarian recipes I’ve gathered in this post will help you avoid meat and still eat a wide variety of meat-free recipes.

The 21 Day Fix can be difficult to plan for even without any other dietary restrictions, which is why I’ve assembled a full 12 days of meal ideas that take into consideration that some of you may want to avoid meat. I’ve tried to work protein into your snacks and breakfasts to help make sure you have plenty of great options to keep you going.

You can make all of these recipes or just pick a few–these days are not planned out according to containers. If you’re looking for a 21 Day Fix meal plan for specific container brackets, I recommend these Easy Meal Plans.

collage with text showing breakfast hash and zucchini baked oatmeal and text

These 21 Day Fix recipes are great for a Vegetarian meal plan because each recipe has container counts calculated for you AND they have no animal products. It takes all of the guess work out of it for those of us who are looking for 21 Day Fix options as well as vegetarian options.

A few notes about doing the 21 Day Fix program as a Vegetarian:

  • There are two ways to do the Fix as a Vegetarian. I’ve seen success both ways, and encourage you to try both to see what works best for you:
  • Follow the vegan diet plan, but occasionally use a red for animal protein.
  • Eat according to the regular plan, using your reds for vegan protein, and instead of using your yellows for things lower on the food list (rice cakes, tortillas, bread) use them for only items higher up on the food list (sweet potatoes, quinoa, beans) to keep the most nutrients you can in your diet.
  • Pay attention to what goes into your yellow containers. Instead of using them for items lower on the food list, you’re going to want to eat from higher up. Since lots of the yellow container foods on the regular plan are now red container foods for you, it’s a place where you could be losing out on some nutrition.
  • Don’t forget that portion control is still the focus, just like any other weight loss program.

As someone with a background in Nutrition, I have some strong opinions about how to be Vegetarian on the Fix.

I love that Beachbody separates the grains on the 21 Day Fix vegan meal plan into two categories–this is so important and other mainstream diets don’t do this. Eating quinoa as a vegan isn’t the same as eating bread, for example. The yellow a and yellow b lists make so much sense to me.

My main issue with the Vegan food list is that almost all of the proteins are processed (looking at you veggie burger requirements). As someone who eats plant based (I don’t eat tofu, tempeh, other meat substitutes, or processed foods) I struggle a bit with the Vegan Fix and finding complete proteins. I’ve had to play with my portions a bit to find enough protein and it’s not quite as cut and dry as Beachbody makes it seem.

Vegan foods doesn’t mean processed foods. For me, eating Vegan means focusing on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes – healthy foods that fill me up.

If you’re looking to make your own Fix meal plan, I have a Portion Fix Meal Plan Template that auto updates and make it so easy!

Portion Fix / 21 Day Fix Vegetarian Recipes:

Day 1: Monday

  • Breakfast: Amish Baked Oatmeal Baked oatmeal recipes are great for meal prepping because you can bake once and be good for the whole week. I love adding chia seeds in place of eggs in this recipe.
  • Lunch: Brown Rice & Mushroom Risotto The leftovers for this meal are simply the best. I love when a meatless meal is so satisfying and filling that I make it time and time again. If you’re looking to add extra veggies, I love adding fresh green beans to this recipe.
  • Dinner: Vegetable Chowder  Leave out the Greek Yogurt if you prefer non-creamy soup (I do!). You’re going to love this hearty vegetable soup.
  • Snack: Apple “Cookies” Apple cookies will curb the sweet tooth and with nut butter they can also give you a little extra protein boost!
  • Dessert: Lemon Bars These lemon bars are light and refreshing, and so easy to prepare.

Day 2: Tuesday

  • Breakfast: Fajita Breakfast Casserole I love this healthy way to start your day! The fajita veggies are delicious for breakfast.
  • Lunch: Quinoa Tacos Whether you make this vegetarian taco filling into proper tacos or use it to top a salad or baked potato, this is a delicious lunch idea!
  • Dinner: Calabacitas Tacos
  • Snack: Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Bites These are the snack that everyone always wants–make extra if you have other people in the house.

Day 3: Wednesday

  • Breakfast: 2 Ingredient Banana Pancakes This recipe is so simple and delicious. It’s best eaten right after you make them.
  • Lunch: Island Green Smoothie I love a light lunch. If this isn’t enough for you, pair with some raw veggies and healthy dip or leftovers from dinner.
  • Dinner: Vegan Chili I love how the carrots and celery give this recipe crunch and texture. Beans in this recipe provide 20 grams of protein per serving to keep you full, too!
  • Dessert: Healthy Dole Whip Recipe This easy recipe is perfect for an after dinner snack.

Day 8: Monday

  • Breakfast: French Toast This French toast recipe for one is PERFECT for a delicious, hot, breakfast to get you moving on Monday morning!
  • Lunch: Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers I love making these, and there are hardly ever leftovers. It’s a great way to use extra bell pepper.
  • Dinner: Fresh Veggie Spring Rolls If you’re needing a quick lunch for tomorrow, put all the leftovers on top of a salad and use the peanut sauce as a dressing!
  • Snack: Easy Homemade One Step Salsa You can dip veggies, chips, or even cloud bread in this easy homemade salsa. Just one step and you’ll have delicious salsa for the whole week!

  • Dessert: No Bake Mocha Coconut Bars | If you need a sweet dessert and also like to fill an orange container, this is a great recipe for you!

I have created this easy 21 Day Fix Easy Meal Plan F with no recipes, just simple healthy food that is listed on the food list. Following an easy meal plan to start or when you need a “back to basics” round is a great way to focus yourself and not become overwhelmed.

The 21 Day Fix eating plan has been around quite some time. After a few years Autumn Calabrese and Beachbody on Demand introduced the Ultimate Portion Fix, and with it Bracket E and Bracket F.

Brackets E and F are for those who need more calories and weren’t included in the original program materials for the Fix. Before, the highest plan was Plan D and often not enough food for people who needed a higher calorie bracket.

I do not sell Beachbody–it’s important to know that. I do have my Precision Nutrition certification and have been a fan of the 21 Day Fix program for years because of its easy approach to helping people live a healthy lifestyle.

I’ve seen many, many readers lose weight by finding their calorie level and sticking to the specific meal plan that the Fix outlines.

Why an “easy” meal plan?

Getting the amount of food in for brackets E and F can be difficult because it’s so much food. That’s why it’s even more important to plan your meals and snacks–kind of like a food budget. I recommend starting the Fix with an easy no recipe meal plan for a few reasons:

  1. The focus won’t be on what to eat because all of your meals and snacks will be chosen for you. Just fill your containers and eat!
  2. You won’t be overwhelmed with making new recipes, filling your pantry with specialty ingredients, and wondering if the entire family will eat what you’ve cooked. You can make them the same healthy meals you’re eating on the easy plan or you can make a meal for them and then have your foods prepped or make it on the spot.
  3. If you’re a picky eater or struggle with food allergies, it’s so much easier to swap out a food on the easy plan than an entire recipe on a traditional meal plan. If you don’t like chicken, for example, just pick something else from the red container list (since chicken counts as a red container) and eat that instead. Eggs, egg whites, different meats, yogurt, and even tofu can all simply be swapped for chicken. The easy meal plan is also meant to function as a vegetarian plan–just swap the meat out for non-meat red foods listed on the food list.

After you get the hang of the container plan, you’ll feel more comfortable meal planning for yourself for the next round. Remember that meal planning is important to the Fix, meal prepping can be helpful to some, but is not necessary for success on the 21 Day Fix plan.

What containers do I get in 21-Day Fix Bracket F?

Bracket F is the 2500-2800 calorie bracket. A lot of people are intimidated and fear they won’t lose weight in Bracket F. You can and you will, just trust the process.

In Bracket F you will aim to eat this number of containers of each color daily (the food group they’re in is in parentheses):

  • 7 Red Containers (Proteins)
  • 8 Green Containers (Vegetables)
  • 5 Purple Containers (Fruit)
  • 5 Yellow Containers (Carbohydrates)
  • 1 Blue Container (Healthy Fats)
  • 1 Orange Container (Seeds and Dressings)
  • 8 Teaspoons (Oils and nut butters)

If you don’t have the 21 Day Fix containers, don’t stress. You can measure out your food according to the different container sizes and portions or you can purchase portion control containers here on Amazon.

My printable food list is located in my Printable Library and contains a ton of helpful information–not just the list of foods. You’ll also find shopping tips, container sizes, calorie ranges of the foods, and Fix tips for the best success.

FAQ About this 21 Day Fix Easy Meal Plan F:

Can I follow this plan if I am Gluten Free or have food allergies?

Yes, simply replace the waffle, cracker, or bread with the gluten free variety. You’re trying to stay around 120 calories for a yellow. Often gluten free items are higher in calories and carbohydrates so the serving size might go down.  

Can I follow this plan if I’m vegan or vegetarian?

While there is a specific Vegan food plan for the Fix I’ll be the first to say that I don’t love how dependent it is on processed foods. I’ve seen many vegans and vegetarians have success losing weight by swapping out the animal based products with plant based products and eating from the top of the food lists (where the more nutritious food is located).

This five day 21 Day Fix Meal Plan A will help you start off your FIX journey on the right foot. The 21 Day Fix is a way of clean eating that focuses on unprocessed foods and portion control. Eating a specific number of colored containers every day will help you achieve the weight loss you’re wanting, and this 1200-1800 calorie meal plan will help.

This meal plan is broken down for Monday through Friday. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks are included. There are a few main recipes you’ll be making and eating all week–if you’re not a fan of recipes or eating leftovers, you might enjoy my easy meal plan for this bracket–it uses only simple meals and no recipes.

21-Day Fix Meal Plan A

I’ll be honest, the 21 Day Fix has you eating so much food. I usually plan on eating leftovers for lunches so I don’t have to cook quite as often, and have found that it’s the best way for me to stay focused on my healthy eating plan.

The 21 Day Fix plan focuses on eating whole foods. This means that most of your foods will not have a package. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are important on this eating plan.

For Bracket A, you’ll be eating the follow portion-control containers:

  • 4 Green Containers (vegetables)
  • 2 Purple Containers (fruits)
  • 4 Red Containers (lean proteins)
  • 2 Yellow Containers (healthy slow burning carbs)
  • 1 Blue Container (healthy fats)
  • 1 Orange Container (seeds & dressings)
  • 3 teaspoons of oil based foods (mayo, olive oil, peanut butter, etc)

There is a 21 day fix food list that goes along with the containers, and those are the foods you’ll be eating. For example, you can’t just fill the yellow container with any carb you choose. The food list is very specific and tells you how much or how many of each food you can use. One half of a banana, one whole small apple, or 1 cup diced pineapple are all counted as a purple container.

I’ve created a printable food list that has not only the foods that are on Beachbody’s main list, but also their free food list, container sizes, calorie ranges for each container, and shopping tips. You can view it in my printable library with more than 20 other resources by signing up for my email newsletter here: https://mycrazygoodlife.com/newsletter/.

Updated for Ultimate Portion Fix/Portion Fix

The 21 Day Fix has gone through a few name changes. Whatever you’re calling it these days, rest assured that this meal plan is updated to what Beachbody is currently calling the Fix. You’ll see that the extra green container and teaspoon that was added to the Ultimate Portion Fix is included in this meal plan. You can now eat more veggies and peanut butter on the UPF (does anyone use their teaspoons for anything other than peanut butter?!).



Resources for those using 21 Day Fix Meal Plan A:

  • Check your bracket There is a formula for taking your current weight and using that to find your bracket, but I’ve created a simple calculator for you to do it. Always check your bracket before starting a round to make sure you haven’t gone up or down a bracket. Eating the correct amount of containers every day is what makes this weight loss program work.
  • Sample Meal Plans Meal planning for the Fix is very important because it helps you stay on track. Think of it like a budget–if you eat all your containers before dinner, you’ll be hungry and go over your budget. You can find free sample meal plans on this site that will help! If you need more, I have a video about How to Meal Plan for the 21 Day Fix. (side note: meal planning is important for the Fix, meal prep is not–if it’s helpful to you, do it. If it stresses you out, don’t feel that you have to meal prep!)
  • Extra 21 Day Fix Containers Extra containers are always helpful! These are the correct measurements–many containers for sale on Amazon are not the correct measurements and can negatively influence your results.
  • 21 Day Fix Recipes with Container Counts
  • Small changes make up big losses. Replace fast food and unhealthy foods with delicious healthy meals for the best results.

Meal planning on the 21 Day Fix can be challenging and a bit overwhelming when you begin the journey. Counting containers and learning what foods are approved and unapproved (and why) is a lot to take in during your first week.

Even when you have recipes with the counts already calculated for you, it can be tough to begin and you might realize that a lot of your favorite recipes are not following the clean eating guidelines set in place by the 21 Day Fix.

It’s important to find reliable sources for Beachbody Meal Plans–including the 21 Day Fix, Ultimate Portion Fix, and other colored container programs. This is a resource you can bookmark and save for later.

Which 21 Day Fix Meal Plan do you need?

Don’t know your calorie bracket? Find your 21 Day Fix bracket right here. You can find the container serving sizes that will help you lose weight in the food list.

1,200-1,499 calories, Bracket A: 4 green containers (veggies), 2 purple containers (fruits), 4 red containers (protein), 2 yellow containers (carbs), 1 blue container (healthy fats), 1 orange container (seeds and dressings), and 3 teaspoons of oil. (These are the updated counts from the new Ultimate Portion Fix, released in March 2019)

1,500-1,799 calories, Bracket B: 4 green containers, 3 purple containers, 4 red containers, 3 yellow containers, 1 blue container, 1 orange container, and 4 teaspoons of oil.

1,800-2,099 calories, Bracket C: 5 green containers, 3 purple containers, 5 red containers, 4 yellow containers, 1 blue container, 1 orange container, and 5 teaspoons of oil.

2,100-2,299 calories, Bracket D: 6 green containers, 4 purple containers, 6 red containers, 4 yellow containers, 1 blue container, 1 orange container, and 6 teaspoons of oil.

2,300-2,499 Calories, Bracket E: 7 green containers, 5 purple containers, 6 red containers, 5 yellow containers, 1 blue container, 1 orange container, and 7 teaspoons of oil.

2,500-2,800 Calories, Bracket F: 8 green containers, 5 purple containers, 7 red containers, 5 yellow containers, 1 blue container, 1 orange container, and 8 teaspoons of oil.


Are these Ultimate Portion Fix Meal Plans?

They are! The Ultimate Portion Fix was released in March of 2019 and among a few other changes, Beachbody added two additional brackets–E and F.

Does the 21 Day diet work?

The 21 Day Fix is a macro based program that gives your body the proper amount of carbs, fats, veggies, proteins, and oils. It has worked for many, many people and if you stick with it, the 21 Day Fix helps you with portion control and eating the right combinations of foods.

From my own experience, knowing what you’ll be eating for the day or week significantly takes the stress out of the Fix and greatly reduces the urge for unhealthy snacking, which will help you stay on track.

One tip I want to share is to always plan dinner first. Usually it’s most difficult to find something “on plan” that everyone in your family will eat, so it’s easiest to plan that meal first and fill in your other containers around it.

A note about Easy Meal Plans:

I’ve seen readers have great success with simple meal plans–plans that contain no recipes, just simple foods. If you see a food that you don’t want to use for any reason–whether you don’t care for it or don’t have it in your pantry–go ahead and swap it out with any other food of that color on the food list. For example, don’t like butter? Just swap it with nut butter–since they both count as a teaspoon.

Examples of simple healthy foods are sweet potatoes, brown rice, broccoli, oatmeal, peanut butter, and hard boiled eggs.

Free Easy Meal Plans: one week plans

Paid Easy Meal Plans: 21 day plans with grocery lists for easy shopping

21 Day Fix Meal Plans for Bracket A: 1200-1499 calories bracket

The Ultimate Portion Fix changed this bracket up a little and now calls for 4 greens a day and 3 teaspoons–that’s one extra green container and one extra teaspoon.

Meal Plans for Plan B: 1500-1799 calories bracket

Here is a collection of plans for the 1500-1799 calorie level of the 21 Day Fix. These plans are for Plan B.

Meal Plans for Plan C: 1800-2099 calories bracket

If you are in a higher calorie level bracket you know how hard it can be to come up with creative ways to fill all of those containers. These plans are full of healthy meals that are all FIXed.

Meal Plans for Plan D: 2100-2299 Calorie Bracket

Meal Plans for Plan E: 2,300 to 2,499 Bracket (added Spring 2019)

Meal Plans for Plan F: 2,500-2,800 Calorie Bracket (added Spring 2019)

Which 21 Day Fix meal plan do I use?

It depends on your bracket! You can figure out which bracket you’re in. You can do that on my 21 Day Fix meal plan page.

How do I calculate my 21 Day Fix containers?

If you’re working out, multiply your current weight by 11, then add 400. Now subtract 750. Need more details? Find your bracket here.

What can you eat on the 21 Day Fix?

The focus is on whole, unprocessed foods. Think less ingredients, little or no packaging, and no sugar. Is this 21 Day Fix approved?
