These are recipes for the 21 Day Fix blue container. All of the recipes below have at least one full blue container per serving–I created this list in order to help those struggling to finish their blue container every day on the Fix.
The blue container is for healthy fats–avocado, nuts, and cheese. The size of the blue container is 1/3 cup. This is filled by volume and not weight. You should fill the blue container with items from the 21 Day Fix food list and be able to close the lid of the container.
On the 21 Day Fix food list, the blue column is sorted from most healthy at the top to least healthy at the bottom. All items on the food list are healthy, but the sorting comes in handy when you’re trying to tighten up your diet and get past a weight loss plateau–eat from the top of the food lists in that case.
Everyone who is following the 21 Day Fix or Ultimate Portion Fix is allowed one blue container per day–it’s an appropriate amount of healthy fats and cheeses for anyone following a macro based diet, which is what the 21 Day Fix is.
Some of the foods that go into the blue container are avocado, almonds, cashews, hummus, feta cheese, mozzarella, and cheddar cheeses. You’ll notice that avocado and nuts are at the top of the food list while cheese is at the bottom of the food list. You can use cheese in your blue container every day, but if you hit a weight loss stall you’re going to want to switch these foods up a bit.
Even though healthy fats and cheeses go into the blue container, it doesn’t mean that you should be eating those in unlimited quantities–portion control is what the 21 Day Fix eating plan is all about.
If you’re looking for 21 Day Fix meal plans, I have quite a few that will help you get all of your containers in every day–that’s how you lose the most weight on the 21 Day Fix. My meal plans are filled with delicious and healthy recipes for the 21 Day Fix eating plan.
If you don’t eat a lot of nuts and cheese, you might struggle to get your blue containers in every day. I have some great recipes to help you eat your healthy fats every day, like these Beef Enchiladas, Shepherd’s Pie Bites (they’re served inside cheese cups!), and these Burrito Bowls.

FAQs
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!
