21 Day Fix Meal Plan Without Shakeology | Meal Plan Ideas

These are great Shakeology free meal ideas that are delicious, healthy, and fit right in with your 21 Day Fix goals! Here are 21 Day Fix Meal Plan ideas without Shakeology or any other protein or meal replacement shake.

A lot of Portion Fix participants choose not to use Shakeology. While it is a great tool for some, others don’t care to use it, and they still see great weight loss benefits from the program.

Do I need to use Shakeology on the Fix?

You absolutely don’t need to use Shakeology or other protein shakes on the 21 Day Fix. It’s healthier to use real food to get your nutrients, and you can see that in the food list–the 21 Day Fix food list is written in order from healthiest foods on the top to least healthy on the bottom–Shakeology and protein shakes falls pretty far down the list.

As long as you’re eating all of your red containers (that’s the one that holds your sources of protein), you don’t need to add Shakeology into your protein intake for the day. You don’t have to count grams of protein, either–just follow your containers.

Some people prefer to use protein powder to help with muscle repair, muscle recovery, and to help build muscle. Others find that it’s expensive and inconvenient and prefer to get their protein in with other foods.

As a post workout supplement, some whey protein shakes also contain amino acids that help with recovery. Again, they’re not really necessary,

This is not medical advice–I am not a doctor, I just follow the 21 Day Fix and wanted to share my meal plan recipe ideas for those who don’t want to drink Shakeology.

 What’s the deal with this meal plan?

This particular set of meal plan ideas has been crafted without the use of any Shakeology recipes. You can check out this great accumulation of recipes, snacks, and even desserts without worrying about making and drinking protein shakes–they’re not for everyone, I know this!

This is a full week of meal options that you can pick and choose from to create an easy to follow plan for your week. Even though this is a 21 Day Fix meal plan without Shakeology, you can include your shakes alongside some of these tasty recipes if you choose to.

A 21 Day Fix meal plan without Shakeology can make life incredibly easy–you don’t have to worry about prepping shakes in advance and with so many options you can find something that works for the whole family.

Remember, there will be leftovers to take for lunch and with some light meal prep work you probably won’t have to make every single recipe on this plan. Pick what works for you and plan on eating some items again as leftovers. If you can find a recipe that you want to eat all week long, even better!

The 21 Day Fix is not a high protein diet–it’s all based on macros and consuming a variety of healthy food groups while focusing on portion control.

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

What if I don’t have an Instant Pot?

Most of these recipes can be made without an Instant Pot–in both the crock pot and on the stove or oven. If you need help converting recipes for this meal plan, here are my tips for converting recipes from Instant Pot to crockpot.

How do I use this meal plan?

Many readers have asked me to make meal plans without calorie ranges so they can choose their own meals–they just want ideas. This is for those readers. Choose your meals, add them to your meal planning sheets, and get prepping!
