OMG Joey!! You are stinkin hilarious!! " I don't like anybody over the house"! I am just like you..😂 Social distancing IS NOT a problem for people like us!!.. Thanks for all tips and great videos! Always look forward to the next one!
I bulk cook chick peas for the hummus we eat by putting 5 c of chick peas and 12 cups of water in my Instant Pot. Pressure cook for 40 minutes and let the pressure release naturally. Drain the beans into a large glass container so you can keep the aqua faba (the cooking water). You can freeze 1 and 1/2 cups of the beans, covered with cooking water in freezer containers so each container equals one can of beans. I freeze them in 3 c portions because I made a double batch of hummus every Sunday for the week. I batch cook other beans and freeze as well.
Hi Mary. That sounds great. I never thought to freeze them. That is a great option. I eat them all every week anyway. As you already know, batch cooking is a big factor in having good food to eat all week. Thanks so much for watching and for being part of this journey.
I’m only into doing this for the last three months almost 3 months and I must tell you I absolutely love this way of eating you guys are doing a great job you really are
He Dee, thanks so much for the kind words. I am loving this way of eating also. I also love having so many other people on the journey with me. The support is so amazing. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks so much! 😊. I eat at home so I wasn't really going anywhere with that bag of food and that salad in a jar. But, Tim takes food with him all the time. Those containers just make life easier.
I watch a lot of videos and other then engine 2 all my you tubers are women. I love the guy meal view and recipes to share with some of my nutrition clients who are males. Thank you!!! ❤️❤️I just subscribed!
I have to make my own tortillas from scratch all my grocery stores stuff everything with preservatives (ive been doing the starch solution but also made it more difficult by eating zero foods with preservatives) Make your own corn tortillas once, you will never buy store bought again the flavor is so immensely better!
Deborah, I used to work at a restaurant and they would make salad for a few days in a huge plastic garbage bin, and thats how they kept it fresh and crispy. Thanks so much for watching.
I got to give you a high five for doing all this meal prep planning because I am definitely not good at that I am a last minute person. I like your idea of keeping your greens and water in a bowl and having them ready for you all week long. Also great tips on your chickpea preparation and your chickpea salad looks absolutely delicious I would definitely devour that for lunch what great tips for meal prepping
You and this video are everything I needed today for so many reasons 🥰 thank you thank you for being so concise and quick and detailed and also ADORABLE.
I definitely batch prep my starches. Just today I made steel cut oats in the IP, potatoes in the IP, and a batch of starchblaster stew, yup you guessed it, in the IP. The stew recipe is from Well Your World and it's delicious.
Dillon from Well Your World is actually not far from me. I know we shop at the same Costco although I have never actually met him. I was around when he made his first video a few years ago. He is very smart and has done well. I need to check out that stew.
Hi I have lost 21kg in the last year I am 73 yo and never thought i would do it nothing else worked for me i love the starch way of eating Lynette from Australia
Hi Ana. I love having salad cold and crisp ready to go. It only lasts about 3 days so you want to use it all up in that time. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks for sharing. I didnt know where to get 25lb bags of food once my store shut down bulk buying cause of covid-19. Im excited to be able to buy them somewhere. God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon
Did you love the part where I ate the salad while I was trying to film this over 3 days so we had an empty salad container at the end? HA! This video took so long to make but it was packed with info. Thanks so much for watching.
HA I need a least two for sure. The dressing is really, really, good. I make it with PB2. The recipe is right here in this video link ruclips.net/video/tmTOhjIycl8/видео.html
Nicole. I used to get hung up with making the actual meals on Sunday night and storing them for the week and worrying about actual portions. Now, I just make the bulk foods on Sunday night and then make meals out of that during the week. It really got to be too complicated just like you said. Just make a few items on Sunday and then you can prep the actual meals during the week in just a few minutes.
Diane. Throw a little lime juice and just a sprinkle of salt on them before you put them in the oven. They will taste like cantina chips. They cook up real nice and they are crunchy which is so awesome.
Thanks for watching. I had a lot of fun with it but it did take 3 days. That salad in a jar looked so good I wound up eating it before I finished filming. HA!
Hi, I’m new to your channel and the Starch Solution. I am intrigued by your ‘keeping salad crispy’ solution. I like cabbage mixed into my salads...will cabbage keep crispy this way also? I’ve spent too much time having to throw out lettuce I couldn’t eat before it going bad, because I live alone. I am enjoying your videos so much! And I have subscribed. You are quite the motivator!!
Hi Kathy. Welcome! Cabbage should be fine this way too, but even the iceberg lettuce starts breaking down on day 3. So when I pre-prep lettuce and salad fixins this way, I eat them all for 2-3 straight days so they dont go bad. Thanks so much for watching.
I love containers and dishes and stuff like that....so I was in my glory watching this video. ❤ everything looks so good....I'm going to try a few of those recipes. I'm totally obsessed with the potato salad recipe that you shared a few weeks ago. I could eat it everyday. I'll try the chickpea salad one. Have you ever made the macaroni one from the SS? Thanks for the tips. 🐞
The only pasta recipe I made from the SS book is the Penne Florenite, and it was really good. If you make the potato salad recipe, use the boxed silken tofu for the mayo. It's in the asian food aisle and it comes in about a 12oz box. Get the blue or orange box. Dont use the refrigerated tofu for the mayo (in the plastic container in the cold section), because it taste completely different. With the tofu in the plastic package in the cold section, it has that horrible tofu aftertaste when you make the salad. So use the boxed one from the asian food aisle in the grocery store. I love that potato salad also.
@@PlantBasedDads unfortunately I still use hellman's vegan mayo because the silken tofu available here has soy protein isolates. I'll have to try to find one without. Does your brand have it? I'm in Canada so maybe I can't get the same one. 🐞
@@PlantBasedDads well maybe it's ok in moderation....I found a recipe on forks over knives for a pasta salad and the mayo is made with the silken tofu. I really want to try the challenge with you, so I'll probably break down and try it. 🐞
I definitely can't even look at a peanut or any nut while eating starch solution. Lol from the lips to the hips haha. I envy all the boys that can have the fat and still see the scale move. Get it!
I use PB2 in the peanut dipping sauce. Its actually the peanut dressing from the Thai Noodle salad that I make in the June 15th What I eat in a day. So its really low in fat. To me, PB2 doesn't taste like peanut butter, but in the dressing its actually not bad. But yeah, I get you. I cant just have a spoonful of peanut butter and call it a day. I would be eating the whole jar. And thats how I got into the weight mess. HA!
Greetings from Australia. Could you please point me in the right direction for the peanut dressing recipe. I have just discovered your channel and love your content
Peanut Dressing Ingredients: • 3/4 cup low fat powdered peanut butter • 2 TBSP low sodium soy sauce • 1 TBSP rice vinegar 1 TBSP maple Syrup Juice of half a lime Pinch of ginger (Just a tiny bit, it’s very strong) Water to rehydrate PB powder (Start with 1/2 cup and go from there) Peanut Dressing Directions: Add all ingredients except water to a large measuring cup or small bowl. Add the water starting with 1/2 cup. Start mixing with a spoon (Not a whisk, it will get too gummed up). Add more water a tsp at a time until you get to the desired consistency. For using as a dip for spring rolls, you want it a little thick. For using as a dressing for a salad, you want it a little thinner.
Joey you will see a request for Facebook group ...I'm okay with everything and I think it deleted my answers so I will try once more once you deny or except..But thanks for this video..keep them coming cos I start week waiting for your videos 💐🌿💯👌❗
Hi Sheila. It's the same page. Our page and channel is for everyone. It is hosted by two dads which is where we get the name from, but its not a page specifically for dads. In fact, most of our audience is female. Thanks so much for watching.
Interesting. You can scoop out the salad directly from the soaking water and eat it without spinning or otherwise drying? Wouldn't it still be all wet?
Yes, it will be wet. I had to cut a lot of that video out because it was almost an hour long. Nobody is watching me for an hour. So yes, when you take salad out of the water, you have to let It dry. You can spend it all out and dry all of it but if you don't use it all up, you will have to fill it with water again. Good catch. Thanks so much for watching.
Giselle, it doesn't get soggy in cold water. But, it will start to disintegrate after about the 3rd day. So you want to use it up in 3 days. During that 3 days the cold water keeps it crisp. I spin it out when I am ready for it and its perfect. I don't have any good tips on other greens. I usually just buy romaine lettuce.
Hi everyone. Thanks so much for watching our Starch Solution Meal Prep for Weight Loss video. This video gives you and idea of what we are bulk cooking on Sunday nights for the coming week. We also show you how to prepare to eat on the road with no microwave or fridge around. Let me know in the comments below what you meal prep every week and what you would like us to do for future videos. Thanks so much for supporting us. If you are doing The Starch Solution and want to join the Facebook support group, use the link below to join us. - Joey
Hi Elizabeth. Hmmmm, I have never tried it with that. I have only ever used Romaine. The softer lettuce would probably work for a day or two max. It would start breaking up after that. Try it and let me know what happens as the days progress.
Elizabeth Winkler iuse a wet paper towel in an air tight container and change it out every other day to keep my spinach fresh all week as I’m using it, just drape it over top the spinach
OMG Joey!! You are stinkin hilarious!!
" I don't like anybody over the house"!
I am just like you..😂

spritz/dip the tortilla wedges in lime juice and sprinkle with seasoning before baking
I have to make my own tortillas from scratch all my grocery stores stuff everything with preservatives (ive been doing the starch solution but also made it more difficult by eating zero foods with preservatives) Make your own corn tortillas once, you will never buy store bought again the flavor is so immensely better!
Callie, they really were better. I think next time I will sprinkle lime and a smidge of salt on them too. Thanks so much for watching.
That is very interesting keeping it in cold water.
That’s one I’ve never seen before. 👍🌱
Deborah, I used to work at a restaurant and they would make salad for a few days in a huge plastic garbage bin, and thats how they kept it fresh and crispy. Thanks so much for watching.
Great ideas here Joey! Thank you for the video!
Glad you like them! I love prepping food for the week.
Good ideas! Glad to see lots of beans! I’ve

Add nori/dulse flakes to the chickpea salad for an ocean "tuna" flavor
Great ideas but I eat sooo much more. Love your channel
Awesome video!
the salad dressing looks yum, is there recipe listed anywhere ? I LOVE spring rolls but I would need t least 3 !! :D
HA I need a least two for sure. The dressing is really, really, good. I make it with PB2. The recipe is right here in this video link
ruclips.net/video/tmTOhjIycl8/видео.html
I love this guy "Annnnnnd some sesame seeds, because they make everything look better" lol
Gotta jazz it up for food photography.
I buy Costco dried beans too! I’ve been struggling with meal prep lately, but maybe it’s because I’ve been making more complicated stuff.
Nicole. I used to get hung up with making the actual meals on Sunday night and storing them for the week and worrying about actual portions.

Cannot wait to make those corn chips
Diane. Throw a little lime juice and just a sprinkle of salt on them before you put them in the oven. They will taste like cantina chips. They cook up real nice and they are crunchy which is so awesome.

Can't wait to try the French Toast Overnight Oats sounds Delicious !
Patty, it was really good. I am totally on this overnight oats kick lately.
Great video Joey!! 😊

Meal prep is an excellent idea, never fails, delicious food ideas, definitely need you napkin to remain dignified, lol
I know, right? I always feel important if I whip out a cloth napkin for a meal. Thanks so much for watching.

Does the water trick work with "softer" greens, like baby spinach or spring mix???
