Whether you are at home or on the go, any healthy lifestyle should be rich in fruits, vegetables, lean sources of protein, and nutritious fats. An Isagenix lifestyle is no different. A common misconception is that when you start an Isagenix System, you will only be consuming shakes, bars, and supplements, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.  

How Shake Days Help With Healthy Eating 

As a nutritionist, I’ve found that one of the most powerful tools at Isagenix is the structure that Shake Days add to your day of eating. This structure teaches you how to space out your snacks and meals while also providing recommendations to help you get the most out of each eating opportunity.   

Instead of promoting restriction and labeling foods as good or bad, Isagenix offers general guidelines to help you make your healthy change fit your lifestyle and preferences. This mindset, plus the Isagenix recipe guide, has helped so many improve the quality of their diet and incorporate more whole foods into their meals and snacks.  

I am wildly passionate about cooking and eating good food. I believe that you shouldn’t have to sacrifice flavor or taste when working to create healthy meals and snacks for you and your family. Healthy eating can and should taste YUMMY!  

Here are a few of my favorite recipes to keep your Shake Day nutritious and delicious. A big plus, they are super easy to make at home.

Mediterranean Bowls  

Mediterranean bowl with rice, chicken, and vegetables

Serves: 4  

Level: Easy 

This meal idea sounded way too “healthy” to me. I was worried it wouldn’t be tasty enough to satisfy my family, but boy, was I wrong! We all (my husband, my sisters, and I) loved this dinner. My husband had seconds, and I think even snuck some thirds. Below are the ingredients we combined for this light and fresh Shake Day meal packed with flavor. 

Without the dressing, this recipe provides around 250 calories, 15 grams of protein, 13 grams of fat, and 19 grams of carbs.  

Ingredients: 

  • 1 frozen bag cauliflower rice, defrosted and cooked according to the instructions on the package 
  • 2 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded 
  • 1 cucumber, sliced 
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced 
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped 
  • 2 avocados, sliced 
  • Greek yogurt-based Mediterranean dressing of choice (store-bought or homemade) 
  • Feta and fresh dill for garnish
  • Olive oil 
  • Salt and pepper 

Directions:  

We split the ingredients evenly and combined them to create four Mediterranean bowls. The only prep that’s needed is to defrost your cauliflower rice, chop your ingredients, and shred your chicken.  

You can use precooked store-bought chicken or cook a batch of chicken at the beginning of the week to have on hand for meals like this as an easy, lean source of protein. I also sauteed the cooked, shredded chicken with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper to add some extra flavor and crispiness. It’s an extra step that makes all the difference. 

There are so many great dressings out there that you definitely don’t need to make one if you don’t have the time or desire. I decided to whip up this easy Mediterranean dressing, and it was perfect. 

Easy Mediterranean Dressing  

Ingredients: 

  • 2-4 tbsp lemon juice (about 2 lemons’ worth) 
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or other vinegar, if desired) 
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional) 
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder 
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 
  • 1/4 cup olive oil 
  • 1/2-1 tbsp fresh dill 
  • Salt and pepper to taste 

Directions: 

Combine all ingredients in a bowl or jar, mix, and serve.
