Planning when you are on the 21 Day Fix Meal Plan or any nutritional plan is key. But sometimes my mind goes blank.  Like everyone else I am busy with work, home, children, shopping, cleaning, running errands …  Having snacks ready to go or easy to pack so I don’t have to think too much is important to me and helps me stay on track.  I keep a list of snacks and their container values so that I don’t have to think. I can just plug them into my meal plan, prepare them in advance, grab and go or grab and eat!

Once in a while I get creative and make something new but I am usually running out the door with our Shakeology in one hand and hoping that my hair isn’t too crazy.  So for me simple is better.  Here is a list of 21 of my favorite, simple snacks to help you stay on track!.
