I have recently recommitted to the Isagenix weight loss and health plan.  I am using this somewhat abandoned blog I started years ago to hold myself accountable and keep track of what works and doesn’t and have a reference for shopping lists and meal ideas.

The biggest challenge I had previously was sticking to the 400-600 calorie meals each day. I am not much a chef so I decided to simplify. I found some recipes that sounded yummy, that my husband would eat, and could easily pair in prep with something the kids would eat. I also decided I wanted to be able to purchase everything I needed at ONE store. I decided to start with Trader Joe’s since they have a lot of healthy and frozen/easy prep foods.

I prepped for the Isagenix 9 day system- knowing that I will only need make 5 meals. (and have some produce on hand for healthy snacks where applicable). But my thought is that all of this (minus the produce) will keep as I move forward with my Isagenix journey.

7** MEALS for 9 DAY SYSTEM:

1. Burrito (Ground Turkey) with Spinach & Arrugala Salad
2. Chile Lime Chicken Burger with Fingerling Potatoes
3. Turkey Burger with Cucumber Slices and Hummus
4. Veggie Omelette with a slice of  Sprouted 7 Grain Bread with Raspberry Jam
5. Grilled  Herb Chicken Breast with Sauteed Spinach (and Cantaloupe for dessert)
6. Turkey on Sprouted 7 Grain Bread with Apple Slices and Almond Butter
7.  Whole Grain Pasta with Turkey Meatballs and Spinach & Tomato Salad

**These 7 meals include the 2 prep days recommended prior to starting the  9 day program.
