A 21 Day Fix meal plan with a spin-off 4 week Gut Protocol meal plan to get you started on the right foot. Not doing Gut Protocol? No problem. We’ve got you covered with five dinners and a breakfast, WW personal points, and meal planning spreadsheet included, too. This post contains affiliate links for products I’m obsessed with.
**Important Note! We are changing how we do grocery lists…there will now be a weekly, itemized grocery list (YAY!!) for my plans, BUT starting in April, these lists will be for email subscribers ONLY! So if you are not on my email list, you might want to get on it STAT. I also send out exclusive step-by-step prep tips for these meal plans in my weekly email which is basically gold IMO! You can find the link to this week’s grocery list PDF in the middle of this post, before the individual recipes.
Happy Friday! It’s chilly here, but the sun is shining and I love seeing the buds opening up on my trees. But my poor girl is home with major allergy symptoms. She definitely takes after her momma there. 😩 Any natural allergy remedies that work for kiddos? If you have an idea, I would love to hear it!
Anyway, there was a HUGE response to my latest post for the 4 Week Gut Protocol (if you missed the email, just click to read the post!) so this week’s meal plan includes meals that work for BOTH the 21DF Containers + for Gut Protocol! In fact, if you are following 4WGP, the spreadsheet for this week’s meal plan includes ideas for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner! It’s basically a full plan! 🙌.
If you are just here for meal plan ideas, be sure to check both plans for lots of inspo!

Yum – this looks so good! I’m on day 4 of the gut protocol and so excited to have found this plan for next week.
Question on the grocery list – does it also include the Lunch that you put in the week’s meal plan? Instant Pot Ratatouille? I also saw the sunflower seeds/pumpkin sees on the list so does that mean the list includes the lunch/snack ideas?
Nancylynn says
Hi! Yes, lunch and snack ideas are all included on this grocery list!
Khristy says
