21 Day Fix: This 21 Day fix mac and cheese contains (entire recipe) 8 Yellow Containers, 8 Blue Containers, 2 Green Containers, 4 teaspoons, and 1/3 Red Containers. (per ½ cup serving) 1 Yellow Container, 1 Blue Container, ¼ Green
Container, and ½ teaspoon, trace Red Containers for the yogurt (I do not count it.)

Note: Do not count the green containers if you are not using bell peppers.

2B Mindset: This recipe counts as a protein and FFC. Fill your plate with 50% vegetables for a perfect lunch.

Recipe Tips:
To add some color and veggies, sauté 2 cups of bell peppers for 3-5 minutes and mix back into the dish when you add the Greek yogurt.

Like it hot? Add some green chilies or jalapeños.

If using Gluten Free pasta, reduce your cook time to 1 minute,
If your pasta is still not quite as done as you prefer, turn your pot to sauté and let it boil an additional minute or two before draining the water.
