How to tell if something is 21 Day Fix approved
The thing about these dressing recipes that really makes me happy is the fact that they’re taking into consideration the impact calories and fats are going to have on my container counts.
These recipes are already geared towards the program. I don’t have to try and modify them to suit my particular container needs…It’s never a bad thing to be able to make my own dressing at home. There’s no complicated ingredients that you can’t pronounce and no running to the store!

Hi Sam! You’ll be looking for added sugar and oils. Bolthouse dressings are usually pretty good!
Which Tessemae dressings are approved ? The green goddess is my favorite
Hi Kristin,
I don’t keep a current list, as they change often. If you’d like to send me a picture of the ingredients for one of the dressings I can help :)
Hi! My name is Sherri. I have had my containers & book for years! I felt overwhelmed, had no idea what to put in containers. I just figured out my calorie intake which is 2896?!? I am 286lbs. Scared to eat that many calories 😳😂 I really appreciate your dressing recipes. That will account for one container? I am so ready to get this started! Thanks again
Hi Sherri! You’re in Plan F. If you don’t already have a food list, you can sign up for the Fix newsletter here to download one: https://mycrazygoodlife.com/newsletter
Containers depend on the dressing you’re talking about – most are 1 orange container (fill the orange container and count it as your orange for the day).
It may seem like a lot of food, I understand–but it works because of the macronutrients involved. I think you’ll see it’s a bit different than 2800 calories of “regular’ food. Trust the process, use the food list, and you’ll be surprised at the results!
