21 Day Fix Approved Apple Nachos

Ahhh!!!! GET IN MY BELLY!!! Okay but really, these ARE that good!

Apple Nachos anyone?!
-1 apple
-1 tbsp peanut butter (melted)
-unsweetened coconut
-chopped walnuts

I mean...surely I don’t need to explain this, but just in case → Slice up your apple, drizzle melted peanut butter over it, then sprinkle with unsweetened coconut flakes and chopped walnuts! Deeee-lish! BONUS - if you’re following the 21 Day Fix container system, this is 1 purple, 1 orange, and 2-3 tsp (depending on your goals and your desired amount of PB).

MEAL PREP 101



Hey guys! I wanted to chat real quick about Meal Prep 101 and making sure you're getting started RIGHT with your workout program. I’ve talked about how to take measurements in a previous blog post, so you should know how to take your before photos and measurements, and get them recorded. We’ve talked about getting yourself organized so you can make sure your workout program fits seamlessly into your life. {You should have your workouts already scheduled on your calender so you have ZERO excuses for not fitting them in.}

However, we haven’t talked about the nutrition side of things just yet. Several of my clients are doing the 21 Day Fix so I wanted to give you a quick video on how to go through your materials:http://beachbodycoach.com/esuite/home/HollyHazen?bctid=4422586209001

Regardless of what program you’re doing, your nutrition will be 80% of your success!! A few quick tips:

1. Review YOUR program’s nutrition guide, get familiar with it, and get ready to follow it (ask your Coach or myself if you have any questions)

2. Once you are familiar with your nutrition program, make sure you know your numbers. How many containers (if you’re on the Fix) or how many calories/macros. Know your food list.

3. Pick a day to MEAL PREP! Plan in advance, so for example, my suggestion would be to meal prep on Sunday afternoons or evenings. Also, when you plan out your week, try to stick with staple items at first to make it easier. Example: I have chicken a few nights a week, and fish on the other nights. I buy broccoli in bulk because I have it almost every day.

4. Once you’ve planned out your meals for the week, go grocery shopping with your list and STICK to your list. smile emoticon

5. Invest in some tubberware and a cooler or lunch box to transport your food for the day. If you’re going to stay on track, then having your food prepared ahead of time so you can take it with you will be key!

I hope this helps. For many people, meal prep has proven to be the key to reaching their fitness goals. When someone finally gets the hang of it, their results almost invariably go through the roof. Afterward, they'll often talk about it like it's the simplest thing in the world. "Yeah, girl, take a few hours on Sunday and cook everything for the week."

Unfortunately, the whole process can prove overwhelming to the inexperienced, and even quite a hassle for veterans. Not only can a week's worth of meal prep eat up an entire afternoon, but if done wrong, it can turn you off from the idea completely, leaving you scavenging for fast food on the reg. Successful meal prepping revolves around having a plan. This is crucial. Follow the steps above and if you need help PLEASE reach out to me or your Coach! :)
