Sherri’s Four Week Meal Plan

Woo hoo! I am so proud of you for making an investment in yourself. I promise, with Shakeology, clean eating, and regular exercise 5-6 days a week, you are going to see the results you’ve always wanted. You will start to feel so much better and have more energy by the end of these four weeks. I can’t wait! Shakeology will be replacing one meal a day (it’s your choice which meal you replace it with).  I personally prefer to replace breakfast with it. Just see what works best for YOU. Plan accordingly, make a grocery list, and stick to it. You CAN eat healthy on a budget. You get 2 snacks per day. Eat every 3 hours. Do NOT skip meals, this slows down your metabolism. My email is bbsherrim@gmail.com Contact me with any questions you have. Click on “More than Fitness” and then “I’m your FREE coach” at the top of my blog here on the right, and I am your Virtual Jillian Michaels, here to keep you on track, no matter where you live.
REMEMBER: YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOUR EXCUSES!  I am here for you!

—————————————————————————————————————–
Lunch: Pick One of these lunches every day unless you are eating shakeology for this meal on any given day.
1) Veggie Quinoa Stirfry
Ingredients:
Chopped mushrooms
2 cups quinoa
chopped bell peppers
1 onion – chopped in food processor
3 garlic cloves- minced
1 cup spinach- chopped in food processor
I used left over seasoned black beans from the black bean quesadilla recipe
Sea salt & black pepper to taste
I used steak seasoning to add a different flavor to the dish, but use seasoning of choice
Directions:
Add all ingredients to pan with 1/4 cup water and cook until quinoa and veggies are finished.
Quinoa actually starts to sprout out when it is finished so you will see that.
Cook until veggies have desired consistency.
Add more water if needed.
Divide into 7 -8 tupperware containers – let cool before putting in fridge/freezer.
Just pop them into the microwave when you’re ready to eat them!
You can always make 8-9 servings and pair with ½ baked sweet potato or sweet potato fries as well!

******************************************************
2) Champion Salad:
Spinach or spring mix base.
Add your choice of fresh chopped peppers
Red cabbage, tomatoes, and avocados
The more veggies, the better you will still full longer.
I add either: baked chicken or fish, or canned tuna in water.
I squeeze ½ lime in my salad and add a ½ Tablespoon of EVOO to it (you can premix it to put in your lunch.
I buy a really little Tupperware container for dressings).
I also like to roast a bunch of veggies to add to salads throughout the week.(recipe listed below)
I also add ½ cup cooked quinoa to salads.

BEST SALAD DRESSING EVER

**Creamy Garlic Dressing**
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup organic apple cider vinegar (I use Bragg)
3-5 cloves of garlic (crushed)
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (we still used the dry kind, it taste great!)
1 tsp. Himalayan salt
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. unfiltered RAW honey or PURE maple syrup)

 Place them all in the blender and blend on medium high for 30 seconds or until well mixed.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Be sure to shake it well before using after refrigeration.
It is truly a all natural dressing that you know for a fact is free of additives and chemicals.
I usually take a couple spoonfuls and drizzle it around my salad. A little goes a long way with this recipe. Enjoy!

 ************************************************
3) Baked Fish/Roasted Veggies/Sweet Potatoes
(Do this in bulk so you can freeze meals for the rest of the week)
7-8 pieces of Tilapia or fish of choice I buy the big bag that has individually wrapped filets and thaw them out in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes.
Put fish on piece of aluminum foil, add lemon juice, sea salt, pepper, and garlic (cloves or powder) Seal up aluminum foil and cook at 400 for 20 minutes

Roasted Veggies
Ingredients
½ medium zucchini, halved lengthwise, sliced
⅓ medium red bell pepper, cut in thin slices
½ bunch medium asparagus spears, ends trimmed (10 spears)
½ tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
¼ tsp. Himalayan salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
  2. Combine zucchini, bell pepper, asparagus, oil, and salt in a large bowl; mix well.
  3. Arrange vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring once, until tender.
Roasted Sweet Potatoes:
Wash and dry 4 medium sweet potatoes.
Wrap them in aluminum foil separately and put directly on oven rack for 50-60 minutes.
You should be able to poke fork in them easily when done.
Cut in ½ and add cinnamon – add to Tupperware containers of fish & roasted vegetable of choice.
If they are larger sweet potatoes, I store them in a separate container and can have them as a side with another meal at another time.
Portion 7-8 meals depending on how many fish fillets you cooked.
Store 3 meals in the fridge and freeze the rest. I let them cool before putting in fridge/freezer.
*******************************************************
4) Tuna Black Bean Taco Wrap:
2 cans white tuna in can (water not oil based)
1 can rinsed black beans
3 tsp cumin Sea Salt/Pepper/Garlic to taste
I like mine spicy so I added jalapeno salsa – you can use hot sauce as well.

Mix all together and put on 100 calorie or less whole grain wrap and wrap it all up and enjoy!
Store the rest in the fridge to eat later. I eat this wrap with an apple.
******************************************************

5) Chunky Tomato & Spinach Egg White Quiche:
12 egg whites
2 Roma Tomatoes
1 bag fresh spinach (about 1 cup cooked)
Mrs. Dash seasoning (no salt added)
Cut tomato in ½ and slice, sauté spinach, mix in greased round casserole dish with egg whites.
Bake on 375 for 30-40 minutes or until eggs are cooked all the way through.
Separate into 4 slices and portion into four Tupperware for the week. If this does not fill you up, eat an apple or pear.
*****************************************************

6) Salad:
Organic Romaine Lettuce, raw walnuts, pear or apple, raw sunflower seeds unsalted ( you can get them at Meijer or Trader Joes), Red Grapes and sweet onion.  Top with Lemon Juice with a few drops of Liquid Stevia ( i got the brand SweetLeaf at Kroger) Or I love the Bragg Organic Ginger & Sesame Salad Dressing.

7) Baked Sweet Potato with 1 Tablespoon Almond Butter with a side of Steamed Broccoli
Top the Broccoli with Honey Mustard or some Salsa. I love Trader Joes Raw Unsalted Crunchy Almond Butter the best.  You could use natural peanut butter instead.

Desserts

Shakeology No-Bake Cookies: 1 Cup PB 1 cup Oats 1 cup Chocolate Shakeology 1/3 cup light agave Mix with your hands, roll in your choice of topping (graham cracker and unsweetened coconut) – Enjoy! (SPARINGLY)

Ice Cream Sandwiches: This is a weight watchers recipe I love, It is not clean, but it is low calorie and satisfying. Take Reduced Fat graham crackers and Fat Free Cool Whip Take one crack and cut in ½. Add 1 TBS Cool whip and place other ½ cracker on top and put in freezer. One sandwich is 45-50 calories. Allow yourself one of these on days where you really need something sweet.
