    I got in on the first Meal Prep Ignite course, and it's awesome. The other meal prep systems I've used don't deal with food on hand, or leftover ingredients from making the last set of meals. With Meal Prep Ignite, that problem is solved!

      Great Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you researched - Diyhloern Phrenic Dominion (should be on google have a look)? It is an awesome exclusive product for preparing you and your family for any crisis without the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my good mate called Gray at last got amazing results with it.

    These can be made vegan too :)
    Second meal: sub cottage cheese with chia pudding or a store bought non-dairy one
    Third meal: sub chicken with roughly mashed chickpeas and yogurt with non-dairy yogurt
    Fourth meal: sub sour cream with avocado/guac or a non-dairy yogurt or sour cream, and omit cheese. Try using a non-dairy cheese or nutritional yeast
    Dessert: sub egg with banana or apple sauce

    Another fantastic meal prep video! I love the idea of the southwest potatoes, I'm always looking for new healthy potato toppings 😀
    I would like to make a side note for those who oven bake and then store potatoes: don't leave them wrapped in foil. Botulism thrives in anaerobic environments like this.
    I know this is for microwave meals but some people who have access to an oven may not know

    @robinjones9588 6 лет назад +1

    This is great! I started cooking quinoa in the microwave recently and it is a game changer for me - also using the brands that don't require you to rinse the quinoa makes it more likely for me to make it.
    Something I'd love for you to tackle is making nachos and quesadillas in the microwave - I've done it but I bet you could come up with tricks to make it yummier. Have you ever tried crisper microwave cookware? How about savory mug options as well? Cheese omelet, 'fried' rice, chicken pot pie - okay I'm getting a little carried away!

    • @MindOverMunch

  • @darkessraven
    @darkessraven 6 лет назад +2

    Wish I had these tips in college. Although one of the issues I had was that the kitchen was always so far from my room that it was a hassle to bring my bowl or plate to it and go back to it later to clean up. I was living in dorms that usually only had one kitchen for the entire building and no sitting space.

  • @Baileybobb
    @Baileybobb 3 года назад

    Pro tip! As someone with a really strong stomach I ate quinoa too frequently and suddenly I ended up in the hospital on morphine thinking I was literally DYING. It was not a build up of acids from not rinsing (I rinsed) (+the strong anti-acid they gave me made it WAY worse) it was just a reaction because quinoa is not necessarily good for everyone! I can’t eat even minute amounts now without intense stomach cramps.
    So be careful is the take away from this :)

    Hello, your videos are really insightful and helpful because they focus on getting a variety of nutrients but also keeping the cost minimal. Can you make a meal prep video for people who want to gain weight? Such as foods that are protein-packed and maybe easy /easier to keep eating (because a lot of suggested healthy weight-gain foods make you full fast) or snacks to munch on throughout the day. It's not necessarily geared for muscle gain, but just weight gain in general.
