Your best work yet. Turning filthy dirt vitamins into neon yellow cheese sauce is genius-level alchemy.
Lol
Filthy dirt vitamins 🤣
🤣was thinking the same.
@@hankmoody9965 Oh there's not way you were thinking the exact same thing. No one's ever thought that before.
Dirt vitamins
Josh, I’m not exaggerating when I say this: You have literally changed my life. I had heard about meal prep in the past and always thought that it was just for pro athletes or it had to be from an expensive company. Your channel opened up so many doors for me to incorporate lots of your meals into my daily routine. It’s helped me to eat better and more consistently than I have in years. I’m getting more shredded every day, and a huge part of that is because of you. Thank you so much for everything!
That’s the goal, glad to hear it has been helpful 😎
@@TheMealPrepManual I'm losing weight and I tend to do recipes in 6 portions so i have food for 3 days. You've got some awesome recipes, my health is down the shitter so when I'm exhausted and can barely get out of bed it helps to have some fairly simple but great recipes that last for days, thanks.
big agree, love this channel. i recommend this channel to all my friends :)
Ditto
Agreed completely. I found meal prep to be tedious, uninspiring, and just plain bland until I joined MPM. Complete game changer, and it's done wonders for my health. Can't think you enough, Josh.
This was delicious! I added spices to the sauce: onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, pepper, mustard powder and a pinch of nutmeg.
I really enjoy the honesty this guy has. It really lets us relate to this man so much more
i agree. i feel like i'm seeing this more and more with newer content creators; some seasoned (see what i did there) veterans as well. just be yourself. if a potential sponsor wants you to clean it up, or act a certain way, they can fuck off IMO
Glad to hear that. I don’t see any reason to pretend that I like eating vegetables cause it’s just not true. But I think we all know we should eat at least some of them so finding ways to make it work is what I find most helpful for me 👍
@@TheMealPrepManual I can do most vegetables if they're cooked. Not much raw. Red onions about it
Your disdain for broccoli is always hilarious 😂
I've been curious about a cheese sauce for meal prep, and I never knew or thought about pureed roast veggies as a base. That's level 10 sneaking
This meal was the easiest vegetable consumption I’ve ever had
Broccoli is a vile weed!
"And since parsley is a leafy green this mac and cheese is now a salad by definition". That is solid gold logic that I will carry with me for life 👌
I just discovered your channel last week and I’m blown away by all the simple, healthy, economical and storable recipes you have. Those vacuum sealing bags are such a game changer. Our household has become avid followers of the church of Snack City and please keep up the great work and the amazing content!
I cooked this for dinner today, it tasted absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe🙏
That is one salad I might want to make! I recently started meal prep, mainly thanks to your channel. What I live about your recipes is how approachable and experimentation encouraging they seem. Even with this Mac'N'Cheese I can tell some green peas and jalapenos would be a great addition for my taste.
Man, seriously. Thank you for another solid recipe. I’ve crafted up a few of my own recipes with the inspiration of your channel and website but when I don’t make my own I love every one of yours I’ve tried. As a former fat guy I find balance in delicious food and weight loss/ maintenance with your recipes. I would love to work with you in some way expanding more recipes/ reaching more people in some way if you ever need. If not, I’ll keep supporting the channel!
Love the recipes my man! I was working out and not getting nearly as far cause my meal prep game was weak! I love taking your recipes and adding my own variations and spins on them as well! Thank goodness I like veggies more than you though lol! Just wanted to say keep up the great work, and thanks! :) I am sure this one will be a hit too; cant wait to make it.
I’m obsessed with this I made it for the second time today and I added pickled jalapeños next time I’ll add buffalo sauce !! Thank you so much for this meal prepping has helped me a lot when it comes down to trying to gain weight not wondering what to eat
I have already done my meal prep for this week, but I am definitely trying this out next week. Thanks for the awesome idea!
I love that you include the cost to actually buy the ingredients separate from the cost of the recipe and cost per meal. I always roll my eyes when I see "$2.62 per serving" listed when I have to spend like $50-$60 on actually purchasable quantities.
Probably the best salad recipe I have seen! I'm trying to start meal prepping and this one looks awesome!
This was a fun recipe and actually pretty flexible when it came to adjusting flavors. I merried this as a base with a few components from some Ethan Chlebowski recipes and had no problem eating this everyday. Roasted poblano + smoked paprika + cumin one night gives a nice Mexican flair; adding pea pesto sauce w/ sun dried tomatoes was so nice I made it twice; and some parm + smoked bacon made for a quick weeknight chicken carbonara-inspired dish. A banger all-in-one recipe!
Great idea on the daily remixes 💯
Thank you so much mate, I will be trying this out this week! It looks BOSS MODE!
This looks great! Gonna have to add it to my list. Your channel has completely changed my approach to meal prep and eating healthy, thank you!
Thank you 🙏
Blend 4 jalapenos into this and it's gold. Smells and tastes better
Josh it's a goddamn travesty that you're not at >1mil subs yet. This is the most useful cooking channel on RUclips and I can't wait to try this recipe. Keep up the good work brother!
I LOVE my vegies, especially cauliflower, but your recipe looks super yummy!! I will definitely give this a go! 😁 thanks!
This channel has changed my life.....you sir deserve all the success in the world, many thanks!
Yo! Saw this vid last night and made it today. It’s one of the best healthy meals I’ve had. I did skip the chicken, bc I like to eat that separate. But the Mac was amazing. That cheese melted on the top is huge since it’s basically untainted deliciousness. Big win. Thanks for this
This looks just amazing, dude! I'm gonna try that. I'm glad that I've found your channel and I never have to be bored of the same food. Valeu, bicho!!!
This was so good. The cheese sauce hid any hint of veggies incredibly well!
I have just come across you as I'm learning about how to get in shape and cut. Yoir videos have opened my eyes to how to meal prep cheaply easily and effectively. Thank you!!! Your videos have made sure I'm not jist eating chicken and rice!!
Love how straight forward your video-style are!
Your dah best so far I've had your deconstructed big mac bowls, adobo chicken and rice, taco bowls, salad, apple baked oatmeal, banana baked oatmeal, breakfast burritos, chicken fingers, and bean tacos. I also got an air fyer and zwilling vaccum sealer. Great work much love brotherz!
Love adding the veggies for nutrition and the carrots give the cheese sauce such great color!
This is actually a genius recipe and I’ve used so many ideas from it but not together. Love the spin on Vegan cheese sauce (which is fine/good actually on its own) by adding real cheese and milk you can keep it healthier but also delicious.
Very cool. Very cool. I actually will make this one soon. It looks like a bit of work but this is actually easier than it looks I believe
Hey Josh I’ve really been enjoying your recipes lately not only because you really help with different meal prep ideas but also how they’re very budget friendly but your meals are usually low macros and I’ve been trying to bulk up at the gym, any ideas that I can supplement different things/add different things to add more calories without adding too much “gunk” that’s unhealthy? Thank you so much!
Just made this. Absolutely incredible.
Breakfast burritos at $1 a piece was an absolute game changer. I can't even begin to describe how much I needed this.
There's a lot of vegetables I really adore (particularly broccoli -- blanched with salt, pepper, and lime juice? hell yes), but I still love what this recipe is able to achieve: it's a pasta dish but could fit macros for cutting, depending on how strict you are. That's nuts!
Best work ive ever seen i watch all your vids keep it up. Also unnecessarily funny lol. Thanks for the amazing recipes.
"As salads are leafy greens, this means this Mac and Cheese is a salad". Love it! Subscribed!
Thank you for what you do, I save your videos each time to do your recipes later!
Love your videos, your recipes are amazing can't wait to give this a go!
Really like the cost breakdown at the start of the video - your content just keeps getting better and better, keep it up man!
Thank you 🙏
I recently started prepping and stumbled across your channel. Thanks for the great content!
This looks amazing, thank you for sharing!
Making it this weekend. Simple, easy, cheap, and looks tasty!
I do something similar with butternut squash. I love the vegetable combination here.
Just made this - mate so good 👍🏻. The vegetables in the sauce makes mac and cheese alot better imo. Good work :)
So far I've tried the beef and Brussel sprouts meal for meals to take to work and I think this one will be next. Great tasting, doesn't weigh me down and keeps me full. You're doing great things with these recipes
i agree, ive tried several of his meals, they all taste great, i feel full but not weighed down. had to double the volume for me, but i have a physical labor type job! try the deconstructed big mac, that was my first and it was AWESOME!
Just made this and it has awesome volume and most importantly, taste. Thankyou
found this channel 10 minutes ago, appreciate this meal tips and the price info at the beginning especially
Thank you for your support 😎
this looks amazing, lots of good veg + extra protein YES! also love the presentation, speed, jokes, everything. :D
I’ll give this recipe a shot! I tried a different “hidden veggie” recipe that worked well, but it has butternut squash in addition to cauliflower and carrots. Less ingredients makes life easier!
Did u make it & did you like it?
Josh is a real life saver. I had a horrible pattern of not wanting to cook because of the time to cook and cleaning everything, so I ate fast foods like every meal. I lost 45 pounds so far and my blood pressure back to normal with no meds and I'm freaking 23 lol. I meal prep 10 meals on Sunday and your vids are without a doubt a life saver for me
Also do intermittent fasting
What was your blood pressure before and what is it now?
@@ShacoPL not sure on the exact number but my doctor was going to put me on blood pressure meds if I didn't make any change in a month time lol. Needless to say I am doing much better now and I am down from 260 to 167 over the course of about 13 months.
Just found this video of you. Bravo sir you have created a meal all the kids in the familly love!
I watched the short version of this without checking if a longer tutorial existed lol. So I went on sight alone and it still turned out great!
Looks genius! I showed it to my husband and we are going to check it out.
Thank you for all this wonderful information.
I just tried this and it came out great! I modified the recipe a bit but it's not much different. I just tried to adjust everything to make more servings but doubled the cheese, a lot more pasta, etc. I took the cheese to 16oz, noodles to 20oz, cauliflower 20oz, carrot 450g, 2 cups each of pasta water & milk, about 34oz chicken breast. I also roasted 4 large pitted jalapenos sliced in halves along with the veggies. I baked it at 350 for 15 minutes then broil for 10 minutes. This made 8 servings at 700 calories. Macros very similar but with a bit more fat. 58c 55p 25f.
It came out amazing, thank you for this recipe! I discovered your TikTok of this and finally made it after weeks. I'll definitely be make more of your recipes because I love how simple you make meal prepping.
been waiting for a recipe like this. cant wait to try!
🙌🙌
I'm really glad your channel exist, I'm also don't really like to eat vegetables and your ideas about how to incorporate them in without ruining the quality of the the meal is really smart.
also the spatula in your mouth 4:54 🤣
easy, fast. Exactly what im looking for. THANKS!
Just saw this on the MPM club, omg I am so excited to try this! So worth the yearly membership with all this information.
Thanks for your support 😎
Wow !!! I’m speechless 😶 looks delicious 🤤
Looks great! Going to try this with some plant-based cheeses--as I have a family history of Cancer and need to avoid the estrogen in dairy--thanks for posting
I came for the protein desserts/pastries. I stayed for the insane hidden veggie meal prep. And the humor. Incredible work dude.
Thanks for this. I recently had mechanical valve surgery and am doing great. But I'm now on warfarin and have to be mindful of my vitamin K intake. This recipe looks great because carrots and cauliflower are relatively low in vitamin K, broccoli, kale and spinach are not. This makes those veggies a real problem with meal prep as I should really only eat a couple of servings a week of those. It's weird that broccoli and spinach are now "bad" for me, but here we are. Thanks again.
Blending the vegg w/ the cheese is a big brain move. Can't wait to try this.
i got real concerned when you said the carrots and cauliflower were gonna become a cheese sauce, haha glad to see the cheddar come out
Haha I would never do that to myself
Nothing can replace cheese :) Ive seen people do this…they aren’t kidding anyone:)
the salad bit just made my day. thank you
Tried the recipe today... Was very good and the whole family including our kids ate the mac'n cheese. The stealth vegetables worked out well.
My changes:
I made it without chicken and much spices. Also I cooked the vegs.
I've made 8 portions of this, pretty simple recipe, easy to follow. (Don't have a food processor so I had to use my immersion blender. Not as smooth as Josh's but I didn't mind) I really like it, but the main flavor is cauliflower (which I love, but you might want to substitute it if you don't). Adding a bit of sriracha on top makes it pretty amazing :)
Very excited to try this thank you
I always freeze these (I can't bring myself to eat the same thing more than twice in a row), and putting them in the fridge the day before is definitely the best way to go.
If you do have to reheat them straight out of the freezer however, the trick is to *_stir every two minutes._* After the first two minutes, "stirring" means "flip the whole frozen block upside down". After that you should be able to stir it somewhat decently.
👍👍
Worthwhile dish the sauce was phenomenal
Made this, it was amazing! 🤩🤩🤩
Love this one. Keep it up man
Thanks for putting everything in grams!!! I switched it up a little bit: used Velveeta cheese (slightly lower calorie), threw in pickled jalapenos to the blender, used garlic chicken seasoning, used half the pasta water because the cheese is a little bit creamer and it turned out even better!
Planning to sub chickpea pasta and low fat cheddar, looking forward to making this tonight!
This looks good! I'm going to have to make this one day; it's rare I find a random RUclips recipe that I might not have to change! The only thing in this recipe I don't like is cauliflower, but since it gets blended into the sauce I'm hoping I'll be able to deal with it and eat some extra veggies for once. Also a bonus that it's cheap to make! :D
thank you!!
just made this, it turned out fantastic and honestly a lot better than i expected. really hit that mac and cheese craving on the nose. my only critique would be the amount of carrot, just comes through a bit too much and makes it a bit sweet for me personally. will definitely be making this again, next time i'll probably mess around with some cottage cheese to bring the calories down a bit. thank you for all the work you do, josh, your recipes have helped me drop around 30 pounds since january and maintain with ease.
I always reach for 50% reduced fat cheddar to bring the calories down, so you can still keep the taste.
@@Parris1586 does it still turn out cheesy like it should? Zero fat cheddar is a bit tasteless.
@@camronmccutcheon2842 The 50% stuff works fine yeah and tastes pretty much as good. If I ever use the fat free stuff, I usually mix in some normal as well.
You could try being heavy on the spices to fight the sweetness.
Do they sell reduced fat cheese in block form?
Also
I’ve been using Kraft fat free cheese for all things cheese. But it can be pretty tasteless at times. So.
Also how would you recommend using cottage cheese if so
Looks good Im gonna try it!!
Literally lazy all day. Watched this on stream, got up and bought everything, made it and had for dinner. Not super cheese but it was delicious. Little extra broil at the end to get some extra crisp on the top layer noodles and cheese. Will make again. (I’m not a big cook; this channel I will follow).
I made a cheese sauce in the past with onions, sweet potatoes and regular potatoes but your method looks so much better
The carrots are what makes it work I think. They are sweet and blend well 👍
I can see you are very passionate :) keep sharing! I am subscribed 🙏
I've watched a few of your videos already but this was the first I tried out for myself. Absolutely spot on with the weights, temps and timings. Incredibly delicious results.
I threw a pinch of nutmeg and some dashes of cayenne and smoked paprika into the blender to give the sauce an extra kick. Might go half chicken, half pancetta next time.
And I'll certainly be cooking up a storm for my own snack city this week. Thanks for all the effort you put into these vids 🙏
Josh, I know you probably hear this a lot, but I can’t believe your channel is free. I havent been below 240lbs for years, I worked out and just didn’t lose weight bc I didn’t know how to cook good meals and stuff. But I fuckin LOVE your meal preps and even my vegan wife gets jealous lol, but I am not 225 and feel great and it’s seriously all thanks to your channel showing me how to make amazing recipes. Thank you
this meal is perfect, you can also cook your vegetables by steam, to keep a maximum of vitamins and minerals (about 10/12min for the carrots)
I am *FLOORED* by how smooth that cheese sauce looked! Quite a clever colour trick with the roasted carrots! Must try. Ever mix in mustard powder for a little zing?
I haven’t. I’m not sure I would like that myself
Can’t wait to try this !!!
This is on the menu for next week looks amazeballs
Well done... looks amazing.
This looks AMAZING
Thats my meals sorted for next week then, looks really tasty too. I've recommended this channel to so many people, I'm living proof that these meals work for weight loss as I am now down 49lbs since mid February. Thats 16st2lbs down to 12st9lbs as of yesterday and couldn't be happier. Keep those recipes coming 👍👍👍
Incredible 😎😎😎 congrats on your success and so happy you are enjoying the meals 👍
yeah I was 17 stone 5 lbs down to about 14 stone. Also started in mid february.
Yummy idea for the cheese sauce!
I made this and went over a bit with the cauliflower and it shows in the taste. Overall turned out pretty good but more on the cauliflower taste side. Gotta watch those proportions!
This might be your best recipe yet. going to try this soon.
Thank you 🙏
I am loving these videos! You're giving me some great ideas.
My question with regards to freezer meals, which I'm hoping you've answered somewhere in your videos (though if not, maybe you will in future), is: When I get a meal from the store, I can heat it up in just a few minutes by microwave, like 4 minutes then stir then 2 minutes -- yet I can't seem to achieve that sort of ease with something I make at home. Do the meal manufacturers have access to prep methods that I simply don't have access to, or am I doing something wrong with prep, storage, or reheating? Maybe the type of container I'm using when I microwave it?
P.S. I happen to be among the broccoli lovers -- I can't taste the compound that makes broccoli taste yucky to many people. Is that compound something you can taste? My sympathies; it's such a wonderful veggie without that yuck factor! (If you can taste the yuck in broccoli, does cilantro taste like soap to you? I'm curious if these two tastes correlate; I can't taste either yucky compound.)
I HATE cauliflower. But I trust you, so I’m trying this! Thank you for all your hard work coming up with new meal prep recipes.
I always fall in and out of meal prep quickly because I always end up making bland garbage that I start to freeze warm.... This is amazing :)
will be trying tonight cannot wait
That actually looks super good!
Looking forward to making this one!🤤
😎😎
I just went to the store today, got everything I needed to do this recipe! I’m in the process of cooking it! I’m doing protein pasta and almond milk as some substitutes but I’m very excited for this meal!
How'd it come out with almond milk?
@@imnotivan it wasn’t as creamy. I’m definitely going to do protein milk or something next time but it still came out good
@@KingSally Thank you for your comment. I was planning on doing the same thing. I think I'll try doing this with a cashew cream instead.
My girlfriend used nutritional yeast as well to make it more cheesy flavored.
