21 Day fix Meal Plan Day 3

I did my Upper Fix last night after Fraser went to bed and my Lower Fix workout is happening tonight after Fraser is in bed again!  Asher will be at his Pace Concert until late every night this week... that kid is going to be so tired! 

Today I have a work lunch at a pub style restaurant... I scoured that menu trying to find the healthiest option but it was very very limited. I'm allergic to quinoa and anything healthy on the menu had quinoa as the main ingredient! 

I settled on an Autumn Harvest pizza with butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, kale, almonds and goat cheese. 

No protein in this meal however so I'll be counting Half the pizza as 1 yellow, 1 green and 1 Blue depending on how big or how many veggies it has when it comes! 

I also have a side salad coming too so that should make up for my Green container! 

Here are my planned meals for the day....

Breakfast

I needed to make sure my breakfast didn't have any Yellow Containers in it, just in case. My dinner for tonight is planned with no yellow containers also, so I may end up being able to have a treat tonight!  Maybe a Peppermint mocha!

Workout of the Day

My workout today is Lower Fix. 

21 Day Fix Approved Peppermint Mocha

I love peppermint mocha lattes. But, I know that they’re full of a ton of additives and preservatives.

The ingredients of Starbucks version (my personal favourite) are: espresso, milk, mocha sauce (corn syrup, water, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, cocoa (processed with alkali 13%), potassium sorbate, artificial flavor), and peppermint-flavored syrup (sugar, water, natural flavors, preservative, sodium benzoate, citric acid), whipped cream, and dark chocolate.

Calories in one Tall nonfat Peppermint Mocha Latte with no whip (add 70 calories and 7 grams of fat for whip): 220 Calories and 20g Fat!

Hmm. But luckily the incredible nutritionists from Beachbody whipped up their own version. I'm so excited to try their version of one of my favourite holiday drinks!  But I'm doing the 21 day fix right now.... Not to worry, it's 21 day fix approved and only counts for 1 Yellow container! 

I plan to enjoy this as one of my treats this week!!  During the 21 Day Fix you are allowed 3 treats per week, you just have to give up one yellow container for the day, which is pretty hard for me!  But this Peppermint Mocha might be worth it!
