21 day fix!! Yesterday I started a new program called the 21 day fix by beachbody. As a beachbody coach I wanted to try this new program and see what it was all about. There are 7 containers - Green, Purple, Red, Blue, Yellow and two Orange. Each container is responsible for measuring out different types of food. For me this is perfection. I love knowing exactly what I can eat and how much. Serving size is EVERYTHING! It's nice to have everything laid out for you..how much you can eat and what you can eat. So tonight I tried a 21 day fix recipe that I found on pinterest for dinner. The burgers tuned our really well! I loved that it was easy, healthy and something that everyone can eat...even those picky kiddos :).
