The holidays can be a tough time to be on the 21 Day Fix, but you can do it! I find that hosting parties at my own home (so I can control most of the food) or bringing appetizers to a party (to be sure I have food to eat!) really helps me stay on track.

Here are my favorite 21 Day Fix holiday recipes and survival tips that help me during the holiday season. This article includes 21 Day Fix Christmas recipes, Thanksgiving recipes, and co*cktails!

21 Day Fix Holiday Recipes and Survival Tips (1)

The holiday season is still a great time to lose weight and focus on your nutrition goals. Once we let go of our exercise program and declare the season a weight loss bust, we admit defeat. These 21 Day Fix recipes will help you (easily) stay on track this holiday season!

Make sure you have your updated food list on hand and tune into Beachbody on Demand for your quick workout before heading out for your family gathering–you can do this!

21 Day Fix Appetizers

Buffalo Chicken DipThis recipe is mainly a red with some blue that you can easily leave out if you don’t want to spare it! I love eating this with raw veggies, but readers have used it to top salads, for pizzas, and they’ve even eaten it by itself!Instant Pot, Slow Cooker, and Oven Directions are in the post.

These Savory Dips are counted as proteins! Use these recipes or branch out and be creative. I love making a bowl of dip and adding fresh veggies–and I find that other partygoers appreciate having something healthy to eat!

Shredded Mexican ChickenThis could serve as an ingredient for nachos, dip, or a sandwich filling!

Crack Chicken DipThis is my healthy take on a classic viral Pinterest recipe! It’s got a little ranch, a little cheese, and some bacon for good measure!

Stick toothpicks into these roasted Brussels Sprouts from Carrie Elle for a delicious appetizer!

Skinny 7 Layer Taco DipSO delicious and I never leave with any to bring home after the party!

Black Bean Hummus DipI love bringing this appetizer to parties with pita chips or fresh veggies,

Bring a big pot of White Chicken Chili for guests to share!Instant Pot, Slow Cooker, and Stove top Directions are in the post.

Mediterranean Roasted VeggiesA great side if you know a meal will be served, or bring along some toothpicks and cut the veggies small to use as an appetizer.

Spinach and Artichoke DipAnother recipe that’s considered a protein because of the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. Even if you don’t like those ingredients by itself, give this a try–you can’t taste them or feel the texture because they’re blended smooth! Instant Pot, Slow Cooker, and Oven Directions are in the post.

Buffalo Chicken Lettuce WrapsA little tough to transport already made, but I’d bring these to a party deconstructed for sure!

Tip: Use a spoon to fill your yellow container… how many spoonfuls fit into it? Use that count to help with portion control at parties!

21 Day Fix co*cktails

Even if you only have Sparkling Water with lime, it’s always smart to have a drink in your hand during parties–it’s more difficult to make extra snack plates, and people generally don’t like having their hands full. This is one “diet” tip that has saved me many pounds, I’m sure of it! These 21 Day Fix Holiday co*cktails are some of the most beautiful and festive you’ll find.

Cranberry MargaritaI love cranberry anything during the holiday season! These are a festive healthy co*cktail for your next party!

21 Day Fix Thanksgiving Desserts

These 21 Day Fix holiday desserts are some of the most delicious desserts and treat swaps! They’re all easy to share with others and you won’t feel like you missed out on a thing. For treat swaps, remember that you are allowed three a week–no matter what 21 day fix meal plan you’re on. Make sure to check each recipe though, because not all of them are treat swaps!

Key Lime Custard BitesThese are delicious and easy to bring to a party. I’d skip adding the whipped cream until right before you serve them to your guests.

Canoli DipThis is a super popular recipe that people rave about all over the internet!

Healthy BuckeyesSome of my favorites–one is more than enough, as these are very rich. I like to store them in the freezer until I serve them at a party.

Tip: Fill your plate once to keep an eye on portion sizes!

FAQs

How to count PB2 on 21 day fix? ›

The best option is to use real peanut butter. The healthy fats are good for you. However, if you do use PB2 count it as a teaspoon (you can add a little bit more). Can I do the 21 Day Fix while I'm breastfeeding or pregnant?

How many eggs for 1 red container? ›

The deal is, in older versions of the Eating Plan, 2 egg whites are listed as 1 red. In newer, corrected versions, 8 egg whites equal one red because 2 egg whites do not have the same amount of protein/calories as two whole eggs.

What can you eat in the blue container 21 day fix? ›

Blue Container = Healthy Fats

Hello, nuts, cheese, and avocado! You can also put in foods like hummus and coconut milk. But before you go, well, nuts with your nuts, the guide provides specific amounts: 12 whole raw almonds, 14 peanuts, eight cashews, etc. — so don't try to pour a whole bag of nuts in there!

How much weight does the average person lose on 21 day fix? ›

A study reports that a single 21-Day Fix round lasting three weeks can help participants lose up to 15 lbs. This may be a high estimate that by no means applies to men and women of all body types, ages, and fitness levels. Most people consider a weight loss of 1 to 3 lbs each week to be safe and reasonable.

How many eggs can you have on 21 day fix? ›

Two large eggs equal one serving of protein with the 21 Day Fix. I usually make a batch using 4 eggs or 2 servings. With the assumption that you have already boiled eggs ready for this recipe, you can proceed with the recipe. If you do NOT have eggs boiled already just follow your favorite way of doing them 1st.

How long does it take to see results on a 21 day fix? ›

What is a banana on 21 day fix? ›

A banana can cause some debate in the 21 Day Fix circle! So I again investigated the situation and came up with this information: A small-sized banana is one that's less than 6 inches long. A large-sized banana is one between 8 and 9 inches long. This banana is 7 inches long……but the same circumference as a 9 inch one.

Can you eat sausage on a 21 day fix? ›

Can you drink Diet co*ke on 21 day fix? ›

What You Can't Eat on 21 Day Fix. Fried foods, ice cream, pastries, candy, butter, sour cream, mayonnaise, and soda are not included in 21 Day Fix. You may substitute one of your yellow containers for wine. You may drink coffee and tea but no processed creamer (my weakness!).

What does cream cheese count as on a 21 day fix? ›

Is cream cheese on the 21 Day Fix food list? Technically, cream cheese is not on the 21 Day Fix food list. But Autumn has used it in several recipes and the macros are similar to other cheese products. You can also swap in Laughing Cow Cheese Triangles, but I prefer this recipe with reduced fat cream cheese.

Typically, the ratio is 2 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter to 1 tablespoon of water, which yields 1 tablespoon of nut butter.

What is one serving of PB2? ›

(A serving here is defined as 2 tablespoons.) By comparison, powdered peanut butter is a lower-calorie-and-fat option. It has an average of just 60 calories, 1.5 g of fat and 6 g of protein per serving. It's great for consumers who are looking to cut calories or meet specific fitness goals.

Can you mix up PB2 ahead of time? ›

Can't I just mix a big batch at once and keep using that?” The short answer: We don't recommend this. The PB2 powder was formulated to be used on an as-needed basis. Any extended storage of PB2 after it has been mixed into peanut butter may affect the taste and texture.
