Hi guys! I hope you enjoy this healthy meal prep video. If you've been watching my Instagram stories you'll see that I've been enjoying this fruits of this meal prep for the last week. Ha! And combining a few items with an upcoming salmon recipe. So yum! If you'd like to see more meal prep videos in the future, let me know in the comments below. Happy Wednesday! xo - Lisa
Thanks for this. This really works for me. I would love to see more along these lines. I have a bowl of roast veg in my fridge right now. This inspires me even more!
i'm curious. do you ever prep sauces? some of the meals seemed dry and i (personal preference of course) would have wanted a tahini dressing or something. Do you even prep dressings or sauces ahead?
Omg that’s what I thought too. I hate watching videos that start off with unnecessarily intro about what they did that day and stuff that I don’t care about.
YOU are a Godsend!!! You're the reason why I have so far lost 87 pounds since January 29th of this year!! I have been feeling great and starting to look good too! I have much more left on my journey, but with tears in my eyes, I can't thank you enough!! I already knew how to cook, but your tips helped me that much further, and you gave me some great ideas!! You have shown me that just because food is healthy, doesn't mean that you can't make it delicious!!! From the bottom of my heart....THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness, I'm so happy for you! And while I'm thrilled that my videos have inspired you on your journey, YOU are definitely the reason that you're meeting your goals. So a big kudos to you! I'm sending virtual hugs and I wish you continued success and happiness along your journey. :) x
Your carrot and celery tip ( cut in a jar) has made my kids into celery monsters. Ill bring out the jar and peanut butter or cream cheese and all the celery is gone. Before it would sit in a bag behind the fridge getting soft now i buy celery twice a week. You're a life changer.
yes, I am going to add this to my kit when the nephews come over. Another thing I found is when I make fast home-made guacamole and have baby bell peppers on hand, they never even ask for taco chips - just scoop the guacamole with the peppers. Great video!! thanks!
The key to eating healthy - in addition to meal prepping - is to accept that the first 2-5 days of eating clean is going to cause some major physical and emotional suffering (craving/resistance/sugar-withdrawal headaches/restlessness) but if you can tell yourself it's going to get worse before it gets better than you'll be aware of the oncoming pain and face it head on in order to to make that transition.
@Coleen Nicolas Same here. Huge headache. First time I ever did a fast the the first day I felt sick. By 6pm I broke the fast and ate a huge bag of Skittles and then a pizza and some chips and on and on!! Though I've done it many times since and your body gets used to it. I find that now if I'm not able to eat I don't feel sick or headachy or angry - it just fades and I don't think about it.
If you add pink salt water and/or lemon water this will rebalance electrolyte levels and will allow you to transition to healthy eating with zero physical/emotional fluctuations.
One of the best cooking videos on youtube i've seen in years. Shame that i've spotted this channel only in 2024. Everything is so collected, organized, and beautifully shot... Hats off and big fat subscription from me.
What’s terrific is that it’s not EXCESSIVELY healthy or unhealthy; a good amount of fat and flavor, a little starch here and there - just balanced all around.
First video I’ve seen of yours and instantly a new subscriber. The way you showed the kitchen time management and spoke clearly and directly without a lot of fluff or fuss - winner.
I can't understand how somebody could thumbs down or dislike this video. It is literally the best meal prep video I've ever seen. Presentation is perfection!
I'll agree they just hating in Jealous i would doubt it's a family member or so call Friend i don't put nothing how Evil mind can think or Be That's ok. U got my Vote on things in u helping me Out Thanks u again and again And keep bringing your Gift that God gave u and never worry about the Thumps or Hand Down you just keep your up to God who give your Gift to Us the one's need a little help and Yes i need the Help God bless u everyday!!🙏🙏🙏🍛🍝🍲🍲🍲🍠🍐🍌🍓🍎🍏🍊🍋@Downshiftology
Lisa... you are absolutely amazing. We learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing all these videos. In short, after watching your videos, my 13 year old daughter makes the perfect soft boiled eggs. We stopped buying Hummus from Costco. Your home made hummus tastes much better. We purchased the kitchen aid spiral, we now make zucchini noodles instead of pasta. We love your roasted veggies dish with the Brussel Sprouts, and Broccoli. Not to mention, I now eat broccoli. That is one of the veggies that I simply couldn’t eat all my life. We also dip baby carrots and celery sticks in your hummus dip. We pack our own lunch. You truly changed our lives. Best of all, I’M LOOSING WEIGHT. No wonder you are in shape. We can’t thank you enough.
It’s true that you can lose weight without dieting by using natural herbal extracts, and here are the top 7 herbs that will help you do just that: Fennel seed, L-Carnitine, Gymnema Sylvestre, Konjac root, Green tea, Ginger root and Guggulsterone. The real purpose of losing weight with herbs like these isn’t to help you shed pounds as quickly as possible, but to ensure that any weight you do lose comes from your unhealthy fat stores instead of your healthy muscle tissue.
Quick note on the boiled eggs - keep the shell. If you don't it's recommended to eat them the same day. With the shell, they can last up to 7 days in the fridge!
Boiled eggs with shell can be kept even outside of the fridge for a couple of weeks. In Germany it is common to keep them outside. They need to be fully cooked at around 10 minutes.
Tip of The Day: When raking food off the cutting board or any other surface, use the BLUNT edge of the knife -- it will keep your knives sharper longer! Thanks for the prep ideas!!!
I am blown away by your efficiency and the usage of whole food ingredients in this meal prep! These two factors combined are almost difficult to come by in meal prep videos. Do keep them coming! x
Wow. This was by far the best organized, verbalized, and presented meal prep video I've ever seen. Especially considering the fact I can't even bear the thought of eating the same exact meal ever day. 🙌 Thank you! 🙏
Hey Such a strong thought thanks for sharing.. I have also read somewhere same and can never forget ever : " Your body is the first place your soul live in" :)
THIS is what I've been looking for! Like you, I don't want to eat the same thing for five days straight. Thank you for sharing your tips....this is a game changer. 😊
Ditto all of the glowing compliments that you have already received. I want to add that the techniques that you use, even a beginner can do. Nothing is too complicated. Thank you so much for a valuable contribution to people’s health.
I subscribed as soon as you mentioned that you are meal prepping for yourself and no one else. It's so hard to find good meal prep videos that aren't for an entire family. Now I just have to adjust for my dietary needs and I'm happy as can be. :D
Downshiftology I know!!! For me it's the same. Always the meal prep is for a family and the same recipe for the 5 days... please more of these videos!!
How weird... I never found a meal prep for the whole family... All the ones I've seen were just for one or two people, like this one... Although this one is one of the best I've seen...
She has to! This is her business . It looks ten times better when everything looks nice, But let me tell you it is a lot of work! Being a RUclipsd it is very time consuming. If u want it, you better work hard.
Terrific ideas. I really like variety too, so this is much better than making five identical meals for the week. I look forward to more of your ideas. Thanks again.
THANK YOU!!!! I’m 49, still trying to figure out the basics to a kitchen, committed to creating a healthier home for me and my family, and this video was so helpful. You’re clear, organized, provide options, take me from beginning of process to completed product, are balanced and intelligent. I feel confident I can do this. Very grateful.
This woman is extremely organised. Well done to her she has gone an excellent job and her house is in complete order. What an inspiration she is. X🏡🙏❤️😊
My 5 year old loves this video and your other seasonal one. She was hilarious listening to her commentary. She was so excited to eat carrots and hummus after this even though I have offered that snack before so thanks for helping a mom!
Omg, this is a game changer! To me this is s whole new approach to meal prep and I love it! I could never do the traditional meal prep where you make the same meals for the whole week. I would love more of these videos. You make it look so cleen and beautiful. Love your style ❤️
I know this was 6 years ago but want to thank you. Our son is getting out of the hospital soon and this will be so easy to have on hand. I love to cook but don't really meal prep. It's just basically leftovers after the initial meal that I put together. I've been following you for awhile. ❤
I agree. As a single person, this makes so much more sense. Also, for someone with time on shortage, it makes preparing meals on weeknights so much faster, and makes me less likely to order food. Money saver!!!
Please make more of these videos. This has helped me improve my health not to mention save loads of time. I can't thank you enough for the excellence and knowledge provided in this video.
This is awesome, you've given me more inspiration!! NICE STOVE!!!! I've been a single widow since 2019.. Its taken a while for me to accept and adjust to this. The last few months Ive basically been doing this. The thing I love about it is I know that I'm going to be eating healthy and not be tempted with those unhealthy snacks. For a dessert I've been making chia seed dessert and to add extra flavour I blend a fruit with the almond or coconut milk prior to adding the chia seeds
ZodiacGuesser You could also do a lower “degree” of prepping. I personally don’t like reheated or cold food either, but what I do do is preparing the ingredients for what I want to make beforehand. For example, I’ll spice/fill a chicken breast and wrap it in aluminium foil, so i just need to toss it in the oven later. Or I’ll cut up potatoes and other veggies and put them in a container with spices and some oil and also just toss them in the oven when i want to have them. If you have time to cook from scratch every day, that’s great. But most people are too worn out and would otherwise just grab an unhealthy microwave meal or similar :(
ZodiacGuesser I believe your personal reasons against meal prepping are more of an exception. I didn’t mean to convince you to do it, I was just explaining why it can work for most other people. I do get your point about the frustration about “making food without eating it afterwards” that’s why I usually meal prep before or while making that days dinner haha. Your other points are valid reasons too ofc, I just don’t personally relate to them. Everyone should just do what works for them ofc :) it’s great that you found a way to do things for you, since it seems to be important for your lifestyle!
Thank you for the video, I like your approach of meal prepping a lot better, I never really thought of doing things this way. I also really appreciate how you didn’t leave out tiny little details that most people might know but are so helpful for beginners like how to roast the same veggies together, etc. Keep the meal prep videos coming! ❤️
I completely agree with the comment above! I have always been overwhelmed by the thought of spending an entire day (or more) shopping, chopping, and cooking. This was easy...and beautiful! Very inspiring. Would love to see more!
I really enjoyed this video also. I've never watched anything like it. But, somehow I missed the tiny detail about how long to bake the chicken and the sweet potato toast. I went over and over the video and couldn't find it. My best guess is maybe 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Anybody want to help me here?
THIS is exactly what I needed. I'm tired of being told to eat the same meal 3-5x a week. That's lazy. . Your method is clever, economical and easy. We all have favorite flavor profiles we tend to use but, vary seasonal produce , proteins and heartier or lighter cuisine as temps change. Thank you for giving people a simple and practical way to plan, prep and cook for the week. Please continue. I'd like to learn more Mediterranean, Clean and Plant based meal ideas.
This is exactly what I do! Every week I prep quinoa, brow rice, sweet potatoes, corn pasta, lentils tomato sauce (some week I skip that and buy some pesto instead), roasted veggies, a bean salad of some sort (usually chick peas salad), boiled eggs, and I keep fresh fruit & veggies in the fridge as well. Then I mix and match what I feel like eating, sometimes adding fish or sauté shrimps. Once in a while I'll prep chicken breasts too. 10 mins and I always have a healthy and delicious meal!
HI Lisa, Love all your videos. My 10-yrs old daughter introduced me to your channel , she knew I wasn't happy with my kitchen , and every day cooking life.We watched million vids, and YT channels ,looking for healthy /minimalist-a life style, but never done anything ,until we find your channel. YOU MY INSPO :) My life getting easy every day with you.Thank you for sharing all your methods and ideas. More Please
Aww, thanks so much! I'm thrilled to hear that both you and your daughter love my videos. Hopefully my videos will continue to provide a little inspiration in your kitchen and home. :) x
I've tried meal prepping whole meals for the week but I always didn't really enjoy it because of having to eat the same meal every day. Your ingredients-based meal prep method is genius but so simple! I'm going to try it out.
I was the meal prepper who made one meal for 5 days, this video gave me so much good insight on how to make several meals without spending a lot of time in the kitchen and they were all healthy and looked tasty. Definitely inspired.
What a great plan! I've never liked the whole meal prep thing because we would get so bored eating the same lunch every day. That would make us waste it all and end up in a restaurant or drive-through. This is brilliant because we could mix it all up just like you showed. It's like having a salad bar/buffet right in the fridge.
AND.... this is why you are looking, TRIM HEALTHY & HAPPY ❤️. At one point in my life before Covid I ate this way. Last December my sweet girl 🐶 got really sick and we lost her on January 14th and that evening my father in law also passed away 💔. I was nervously eating in December and we of course went to the funeral late January where hubby and I got infected with covid. About a week ago I finally can taste and smell most things! 10 pounds heavier and covid hair loss. Just miserable! I'm really looking for to your videos for inspiration and thank you so much 💗. I believe this will be a great source for me!
Omg this is SUCH a good idea! I’ve never seen “ingredient” prep instead of “meal” prep/ this seems SO much more realistic and attainable but yet you still get so many different meal possibilities. Thank you so much! This is awesome!!
Of all the meal prep videos I've watched, this one is not only visually nice, but so easy to understand and I plan on making similar ingredients to make in my fridge. Thank you!!
This content is exactly what I needed, my life for the last several years was go to the store, buy healthy food, bring it home, leave it in the little plastic bags and shove it in the refrigerator and then throw it away a week later, after barely touching some of the stuff. Now I bring home all of this beautiful organic produce, spend a couple hours of washing everything and putting everything in nice clear glass containers, and we are eating healthier than ever. Thank you thank you thank you! By the way, your homemade mayo is so good. My mother always talked about homemade mayo being superior to store bought, but difficult to make, and I have tried it in the past with failures, but your recipe was easy and came out PERFECT! Again I can’t thank you enough! Please make another meal prep video one day and include some beef recipes for all of us type O’s.
Glad this video has sparked some inspiration for healthy meal prep and that some of my recipes have been a success in your kitchen 😊 I will definitely be coming out with more meal prep content in the near future.
Hi Lisa, For the first time yesterday, I came across Downshiftology. It appealed to me for a couple of reasons. I want to eat healthy, I have little imagination when it comes to meal planning, and, even though I’m retired and have more time than ever, I have no interest in spending a great deal of time in the kitchen. Each night, I walk into the kitchen, open the refrigerator and struggle with what to make. I was so excited to find MEAL PREP. After watching it a couple of times, I made a shopping list and headed out to buy glass storage containers, a device for making spiral vegetables, and groceries. After church this morning, I returned home and while watching your video, I followed all the steps. Soon, the kitchen was filled with delicious aromas and, in very little time, all the glass containers were filled with 9 ingredients. The only substitution being cauliflower instead of brussel sprouts. For my first meal, I sautéed spinach, spiral zucchini, garlic, and chicken. I added cheese, walnuts, and ground pepper. The flavor was out of this world. I look forward to future recipes and all your wonderful ideas. I’m also glad to own a Vitamix which will be most helpful. Thank you, Lisa. Thank you so much. Your newest fan, Linda
Amen Miss Linda! This video really helped me not to feel overwhelmed with the whole mess of eating and what to eat. Im not into planning meals but I can do ingredients and make a meal out of them! Thank you Lisa ( I think that is your name) @ downshiftology! I can do this, I pray.
I sit here and wonder that a person like Ronaldo can have 100 M subscribers but a person like you showing tips and ideas to make everyday life healthy and easy, only have 2M. Admire your work. Pure Perfection. Definitely will use this from next week. 👌 Love from Newzealand.
Hi Lisa, great videos, I’m a first timer, and I truly enjoyed watching. In the month of December, I cut out sugar, dairy, dread, and wine for a whole month. The first 3 days was torture, but after that, was ok. Now watching what u eat in a day, gives me I a lot of ideas, thank u, u are great. Yes and working out really helps. Soula from Toronto.
I love this type of meal prepping! I get so bored if I have to eat the same thing twice but I also don’t have time to spend an hour in the kitchen every day - like all of us.
I cannot overstate how thankful I am that you shared this recipe. I tried it today with ingredients I had on hand. I opted to use the immersion blender to make the whole pot creamy. As one who is not a good cook, I was blown away that I made such a delicious soup. You are a great teacher!
We like to make sweet potato chips. Slice on thinnest setting on mandolin. Brush with two thirds solution of honey to lemon water and sprinkle with any of the pumpkin pie spices. Put in a dehydrator. Dry until very crisp. My kids liked to do a combination of apple, pear and sweet potato.
This is the kind of stuff I’d do on an “I’m a motivated and put-together adult person” week/day, think to myself “this feels amazing and I feel good and energized and I will do this forever”... and a few days later half of it rots in my fridge as I lose interest in having my crap together and order sushi.
That's why I can't do prep for meals for a whole week, lol. It's like 7 days, I can't imagine these cooked potatoes, salad ect to be still edible. So I do meal preps only for 2, 3 days and it works.
I sometimes freeze rice in a muffin tin then trensfer to a bag when frozen. These rice " muffins" are portioned sized and easy to toss in my lunch bag or grab for my dinner when I have a long day and don't feel like cooking. I usually have some type of veggies and meat either prepped or left overs. I'm going to do the same with my next batch of quinoa...freeze a few " muffins"
I have watched almost every video on this channel multiple times, especially when my antiinflamitory diet gets me discouraged. Thank you for sharing these videos.
FINALLY! I've been sifting through meal prep vids all day trying to find something that clicked with me. This looks perfect for me AND doable. I'll be looking for more. Thank you!
Thank you Lisa, you’ve completely changed the way I eat!! I’m safely fending off the dangers of type 2 diabetes now and saving time each day with my prepared ingredients.😃
Celisar1 I struggle with perfectionism depression too. For years I just didn’t even try anything since I knew I’d never be satisfied. Now I do small tasks. No way I could do a week’s worth of anything without hating it and myself. So I meal prep for 2-3 days at a time vs 7 days. Better than nothing. Then keep it up. That’s a possible goal.
You don't have to be perfect to turn a new page in your life and want more. Some depression comes from not using your life. We are about to leave the shelter in place so videos like this will help us plan ahead. Boy she sure made that look simple.
It's highly edited. There's no way that the kitchen isn't a mess when prepping all of this food. The scraps are not in the video and everything is clean for it to look "perfect". Though this video IS helpful, I actually prefer ones that are more realistic.
I'm far from perfect but enjoy getting new ideas to use. Often I dont get round to many, but even one thing I use makes it worthwhile. Dont try and be like her, just use what you can
Lisa, Your meal prep is flawless and delicious! Thank you for all the yummy, fresh ideas. I wish that cooks like yourself would push organic more, and say that it's not only for our health, but it supports organic farmers, which we need more of in this country, and most importantly, it's not polluting the planet, nearly as much. It's almost like it's a stigma to mention the truths about buying organic on these shows.....now, more than ever, we need smart, creative people like yourself to really speak the truth, and not to mince words. The other thing is the paper towels; everyone should be buying paper towels made from recycled paper! not trees! And also paper towels which are not bleached in dioxin (which you did mention), which all paper towels made from trees are bleached. People watching this video are going to learn from you, that most paper towels are made from trees clear cut down in the Canadian Boreal forrest, the biggest carbon eater in the world, is being cut down for PT and TP. We need to spread the word, so only buy paper products made from paper and those brands which I know of are Marcal and Seventh Generation, I know there are others too,. You can read on the packaging and that will tell you. If everyone stopped buying paper towels made from trees, then all companies would have to make paper products from recycled paper and not trees. I very much enjoy your show, , but we need everyone spreading the word about these small practices which could really help the planet, if more people know/practice them.
it's because you are learning. Right now you don't have the need to watch what you eat, but as you get older it will come handy. You know this that is why you are here. ;)
what she has in her pantry: lots of veggies and fruits, rice, chicken, herbs, and enough kitchenware to hold all of them my pantry: some peanut butter, lots of cereal, some canned veggies, box of rice, ramen noodle
Today is Jan 1st'21...there is no better way than starting off the new year with this genius idea but not a new concept ..however willpower is the key! I'm looking forward in getting my health and weight under control. Thank you for all the great tips and I look forward in checking in with you for more meal preps as the months go by.
Thank you. I am not a meal planner (hence why a bowl of air popped popcorn is a meal staple in my home). But I really want to be. You phrase, "...and with a little imagination you can make..." terrified me. But you made it very simple. Thank you for providing a wonderful, beginner-friendly tutorial featuring a lot of variety
I love this advice on meal prep! I've always wanted to meal prep but have never done it because I couldn't imagine eating the same thing for a week at a time. This is the perfect solution!
I learned from a chef to place the cookie sheet in thre oven while it's preheating to 500 F° (or 475 F° convection), than add the oil to the pan, than place the veggies unto the hot pan, and into the oven and cook them for about 10 to 15 minutes. Since than I've been preheating thre pan for everything; bacon, chicken, fish, etc. 😊 Thanks for the great tips!
I’ve just gotten on page with this lately for workable and reworkable options during the week with hubby and kids. Thanks so much for visualizing to share the concept for buy-in.
I watch this video every half a year or so to replenish my meal prep inspiration ☺ This is the video that got me to start thinking of meal prep differently 2 years ago, and I always go back to it! Thank you for the great ideas and beautifully produced content! ❤🥦🥚🍊
I used to think this sort of organization was out of reach, but I'll be darned- this is really good advice. Thank you for the crash course in getting one's life together.
You are TOTALLY DOPE! Finally, someone gets me! I love meal prepping but the same meal everyday for five days? Nah! Your custom designing tips are everything!! Thanks so much!!
As someone who struggles with cooking (and thereby meal prepping) it would be sooooo helpful for me if videos like this also made clear HOW LONG each meal-prepped thing will last in the fridge. I don't know much about that stuff and looking it all up individually will just make my head spin... it would be so cool if meal prep videos included "all of this lasts for tops 4 days" or sectioned things off in how long things will keep.
Love this! A lot of really good base components. To add more flavor you could also add pesto to the zucchini pasta, sriracha to the chicken avocado salad, or some chili flakes on the sweet potato toast.
Love this so much. I'm trying to learn more about how to eat clean and healthy. Your video is so well explained and easy to follow. I love how everything is natural, no canned or pre-packaged food
I remember watching your meal prep one year ago and thinking everything looks so healthy, fresh and delicious. And finally you don't eat the same everyday which I hate. I just bought your book. Good luck in your journey. Greetings from Germany
This is the best meal prep video I've seen. I've been eating more broccoli, brussel sprouts, and red onion sauteed/steamed but I really want to start roasting. So much easier and I can cook it all for the week. Thanks for this great video.
Hi guys! I hope you enjoy this healthy meal prep video. If you've been watching my Instagram stories you'll see that I've been enjoying this fruits of this meal prep for the last week. Ha! And combining a few items with an upcoming salmon recipe. So yum! If you'd like to see more meal prep videos in the future, let me know in the comments below. Happy Wednesday! xo - Lisa
Downshiftology Please more videos like so. Absolutely loved this ideas and matched what I do myself. Lots of love. God bless
Thanks for this. This really works for me. I would love to see more along these lines. I have a bowl of roast veg in my fridge right now. This inspires me even more!
Love your idea of a meal prep. Would definitely like to watch more of such videos. 2 thumbs up!
i'm curious. do you ever prep sauces? some of the meals seemed dry and i (personal preference of course) would have wanted a tahini dressing or something. Do you even prep dressings or sauces ahead?
Thank you! Please consider making a vegan meal prep 😊
This is what it looks like to have your life put together
I do my best. ;)
Nikitina and Drive other people around you mad
lol for real
Nikitina true dream life
LOL so true
Thank you for talking slowly and not loud, and not going on and on about unnecessary things. Enjoyable, relaxing and informative.
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video Jessica. :)
Omg that’s what I thought too. I hate watching videos that start off with unnecessarily intro about what they did that day and stuff that I don’t care about.
I completely agree. She made me WANT to try this by her soothing presence! Hope you will make more videos.
Loved this one!
agreed! new sub :)
I agree, thank you so much! I’m glad to have come across your videos, I have subscribed! Look forward to watching more!
YOU are a Godsend!!! You're the reason why I have so far lost 87 pounds since January 29th of this year!!
I have been feeling great and starting to look good too! I have much more left on my journey, but with tears in my eyes, I can't thank you enough!! I already knew how to cook, but your tips helped me that much further, and you gave me some great ideas!!
You have shown me that just because food is healthy, doesn't mean that you can't make it delicious!!! From the bottom of my heart....THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness, I'm so happy for you! And while I'm thrilled that my videos have inspired you on your journey, YOU are definitely the reason that you're meeting your goals. So a big kudos to you! I'm sending virtual hugs and I wish you continued success and happiness along your journey. :) x
Downshiftology Thank you so much!!!! Virtual hugs back!! I’m thankful for you and your foodie wisdom to help others!!! ❤️
You win at this!! Congratzzzzz!!!🤘🤘🤘
Wow!!! Congratulations! Update??
Congrats!!!
I love how clean and organized things are here. I tear my kitchen down just making a PB&J sandwich.
Hahah trust me, my kitchen is a mess after this 😊
I died for 'I tear my kitchen down' 🤣 just for a pb&j sandwich lol
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
Your carrot and celery tip ( cut in a jar) has made my kids into celery monsters. Ill bring out the jar and peanut butter or cream cheese and all the celery is gone. Before it would sit in a bag behind the fridge getting soft now i buy celery twice a week. You're a life changer.
Yay! I'm so happy to hear that!
Awesome! I love when kids eat veggies
yes, I am going to add this to my kit when the nephews come over. Another thing I found is when I make fast home-made guacamole and have baby bell peppers on hand, they never even ask for taco chips - just scoop the guacamole with the peppers. Great video!! thanks!
lol so cute!
ditto!
The key to eating healthy - in addition to meal prepping - is to accept that the first 2-5 days of eating clean is going to cause some major physical and emotional suffering (craving/resistance/sugar-withdrawal headaches/restlessness) but if you can tell yourself it's going to get worse before it gets better than you'll be aware of the oncoming pain and face it head on in order to to make that transition.
@Coleen Nicolas Same here. Huge headache. First time I ever did a fast the the first day I felt sick. By 6pm I broke the fast and ate a huge bag of Skittles and then a pizza and some chips and on and on!! Though I've done it many times since and your body gets used to it. I find that now if I'm not able to eat I don't feel sick or headachy or angry - it just fades and I don't think about it.
That`s me every time I go back to my Intermittent Fasting. I have to remember to avoid humans for about 3 days. By the 4th day I`m good :D
J NYC I love that thoughts it rings true
Most realistic comment so far
If you add pink salt water and/or lemon water this will rebalance electrolyte levels and will allow you to transition to healthy eating with zero physical/emotional fluctuations.
One of the best cooking videos on youtube i've seen in years. Shame that i've spotted this channel only in 2024. Everything is so collected, organized, and beautifully shot... Hats off and big fat subscription from me.
What’s terrific is that it’s not EXCESSIVELY healthy or unhealthy; a good amount of fat and flavor, a little starch here and there - just balanced all around.
YES, definitely. This means one can try and sustain this without suffering
D87
It is actually pretty healthy
yea i was surprised she cooked chicken, shes not too extreme
"Perfectly balanced, as all thing should be"
First video I’ve seen of yours and instantly a new subscriber. The way you showed the kitchen time management and spoke clearly and directly without a lot of fluff or fuss - winner.
I'm go glad you enjoyed the video 😊
This is my second video today and I hit the subscribe button. My new food idol.
Same here. Subscribed
Same here 👍
@@domina7555 thanks a lot
I can't understand how somebody could thumbs down or dislike this video. It is literally the best meal prep video I've ever seen. Presentation is perfection!

How sad is their life to waste that sort of time hurting someone trying to help people.
Right.! I was like y so many thumbs down.?
This is perfection at its best. 🥰
Haters will hate .. that’s why .. sad ppl out there .
I hate to cook, and live alone. I did this today.. and now I have a weeks worth of meals ! Amazing !!! No more grazing, no more fast food !
Hi Ohland
How are you today?
And did you actually eat them?
❤❤it feels nice honestly
@@geebisibaby steps my friend. That's ok sometimes.
Lisa... you are absolutely amazing. We learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing all these videos. In short, after watching your videos, my 13 year old daughter makes the perfect soft boiled eggs. We stopped buying Hummus from Costco. Your home made hummus tastes much better. We purchased the kitchen aid spiral, we now make zucchini noodles instead of pasta. We love your roasted veggies dish with the Brussel Sprouts, and Broccoli. Not to mention, I now eat broccoli. That is one of the veggies that I simply couldn’t eat all my life. We also dip baby carrots and celery sticks in your hummus dip. We pack our own lunch. You truly changed our lives. Best of all, I’M LOOSING WEIGHT. No wonder you are in shape. We can’t thank you enough.
It’s true that you can lose weight without dieting by using natural herbal extracts, and here are the top 7 herbs that will help you do just that: Fennel seed, L-Carnitine, Gymnema Sylvestre, Konjac root, Green tea, Ginger root and Guggulsterone. The real purpose of losing weight with herbs like these isn’t to help you shed pounds as quickly as possible, but to ensure that any weight you do lose comes from your unhealthy fat stores instead of your healthy muscle tissue.

Thank you for the spoiler :))
Incredible! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I think it would be awesome for you to do a video on how to properly wash and store all fruits and veggies.
Will keep that in mind Taylor :)
^^^ yes please!!!
Downshiftology YESSS OMG
Yes please!
PLEASEEE
Quick note on the boiled eggs - keep the shell. If you don't it's recommended to eat them the same day. With the shell, they can last up to 7 days in the fridge!
Oh wow awesome tip!!
You can take the shell out and let them res in shoyu! Super tasty!
Nice tips
Boiled eggs with shell can be kept even outside of the fridge for a couple of weeks. In Germany it is common to keep them outside. They need to be fully cooked at around 10 minutes.
Are you still putting them in the ice bath, too?
I think this is the best meal prep video i have seen.
TheHouseOffice same! I can actually implement this in my daily life!!
TheHouseOffice I agree. Really good and healthy
@Rodrigo Ruiz WTF
Agree
Me too! Great video!
This is honestly the best idea. Preparing all the ingridients ahead instead of meals. This is genius.
Omg , a good meal planer, who cooks healthy food and is NOT a vegan? Where have you been whole my life
I agree☺
Joe Greene i eat most of my meals with bread so forget about gluten free 😅
You mean all those New Age Australian girls? 😂
"...and is NOT a vegan" LOL ... RT hahaha
Amen!
Tip of The Day: When raking food off the cutting board or any other surface, use the BLUNT edge of the knife -- it will keep your knives sharper longer! Thanks for the prep ideas!!!
I am blown away by your efficiency and the usage of whole food ingredients in this meal prep! These two factors combined are almost difficult to come by in meal prep videos. Do keep them coming! x
Aww, thanks so much Dionne! I'm thrilled you loved the video. And will do on more videos in the future. :) x
Clean, yummy, and TO THE POINT, not wasting my time with silly things. I am now a fan of this woman.
Thanks so much! :)
alfredo loredo q
AMEN!!!
Wow. This was by far the best organized, verbalized, and presented meal prep video I've ever seen. Especially considering the fact I can't even bear the thought of eating the same exact meal ever day. 🙌 Thank you! 🙏
So happy you enjoyed the video Mandi! :) x
Hey Such a strong thought thanks for sharing.. I have also read somewhere same and can never forget ever : " Your body is the first place your soul live in" :)
THIS is what I've been looking for! Like you, I don't want to eat the same thing for five days straight. Thank you for sharing your tips....this is a game changer. 😊
Finally a grown chic woman eating healthy in her grown up kitchen i love it
Haha. And I love this response! ;) Thanks Jessica! x
I love too. Really nice 👏👏
This comment was bang on!!! She's the first person I relwte to! Not vegan and no kids, I feel like we're a rare commodity on youtube.
Jessica Darling , I agree with you, I loved her video and her kitchen too!
This is hard to find? Where are you looking lmao
Finally a meal prep video that is organized, easy, informative and actually works!!! Thank you!!!
Ditto all of the glowing compliments that you have already received. I want to add that the techniques that you use, even a beginner can do. Nothing is too complicated. Thank you so much for a valuable contribution to people’s health.
Love the presentation . Very neat and organised.
I subscribed as soon as you mentioned that you are meal prepping for yourself and no one else. It's so hard to find good meal prep videos that aren't for an entire family. Now I just have to adjust for my dietary needs and I'm happy as can be. :D
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video Elizabeth and yes, I'm just one person. :)
Downshiftology I know!!! For me it's the same. Always the meal prep is for a family and the same recipe for the 5 days... please more of these videos!!
How weird... I never found a meal prep for the whole family... All the ones I've seen were just for one or two people, like this one... Although this one is one of the best I've seen...
@@Downshiftologywhat kind of baking sheets do you use? Nonstick?
You can tell a LOT about how organized someone's life is by observing the state of their kitchen. ;)
Oh dear 😬 ...lol 😁
um i gotta go wash my hair.....eeeeek my kitchen needs HELP!!!!!!!!!!! I watch and want to just MOVE just so my kitchen gets organized.
Oh dear me 🙆where's the LIE?❤👌
True! Kitchen and bathroom are the top 2 places i hate not clean all the time. I don't know why.. Then the rest follows like bedrooms and livingroom.
She has to! This is her business . It looks ten times better when everything looks nice, But let me tell you it is a lot of work! Being a RUclipsd it is very time consuming. If u want it, you better work hard.
You get an A+ for organization! Well done
Thank you!
Terrific ideas. I really like variety too, so this is much better than making five identical meals for the week. I look forward to more of your ideas. Thanks again.
This is the first unstressful meal prep video I have ever seen. Subscribed!!! ❤️
Yay - lovely to hear that! :) x
Lol... Yeah!
Agreed! X
Agreed!
Yep! New Sub too!
I’ve never been more inspired by watching a meal prep video!
I'm so glad to hear that! Be sure to check out my seasonal meal preps as well 😊
Same here!!
i couldn’t take my eyes away!!!
I agree!

THANK YOU!!!! I’m 49, still trying to figure out the basics to a kitchen, committed to creating a healthier home for me and my family, and this video was so helpful. You’re clear, organized, provide options, take me from beginning of process to completed product, are balanced and intelligent. I feel confident I can do this. Very grateful.
I'm happy you enjoyed the video and found it helpful Anne! And thanks for your kind words. :) x
This woman is extremely organised. Well done to her she has gone an excellent job and her house is in complete order. What an inspiration she is. X🏡🙏❤️😊
Her house? She probably earns enough from RUclips to have someone come in a few times a week to help her with that.
Finally a meal prep video that is simple and easy to follow. Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it Nidia!
My 5 year old loves this video and your other seasonal one. She was hilarious listening to her commentary. She was so excited to eat carrots and hummus after this even though I have offered that snack before so thanks for helping a mom!
I can't believe your 5 year old is watching this! So glad I can help influence her to start eating healthy at an early age 😊
Omg, this is a game changer! To me this is s whole new approach to meal prep and I love it! I could never do the traditional meal prep where you make the same meals for the whole week.
I would love more of these videos. You make it look so cleen and beautiful. Love your style ❤️
Thanks so much Cecilia! Hope you have fun with doing meal prep this way. :) x
I know this was 6 years ago but want to thank you. Our son is getting out of the hospital soon and this will be so easy to have on hand. I love to cook but don't really meal prep. It's just basically leftovers after the initial meal that I put together. I've been following you for awhile. ❤
Prepping ingredients vs meals is genius. Mind blown. No idea how I never thought of that.
With roommates, I've never had the fridge space to "meal" prep. I'm glad someone is showing my way of doing it as I plus. I feel seen.
I agree. As a single person, this makes so much more sense. Also, for someone with time on shortage, it makes preparing meals on weeknights so much faster, and makes me less likely to order food. Money saver!!!
Please make more of these videos. This has helped me improve my health not to mention save loads of time. I can't thank you enough for the excellence and knowledge provided in this video.
Thank you! And that's so wonderful to hear. :)
This is awesome, you've given me more inspiration!!
NICE STOVE!!!! I've been a single widow since 2019.. Its taken a while for me to accept and adjust to this. The last few months Ive basically been doing this. The thing I love about it is I know that I'm going to be eating healthy and not be tempted with those unhealthy snacks.
For a dessert I've been making chia seed dessert and to add extra flavour I blend a fruit with the almond or coconut milk prior to adding the chia seeds
Girl I need to be as organized as you. I'm a hot mess. This was so visually appealing🔎
Haha. Baby steps. ;)
toughest task for me is not to eat all my meal prep in 1-2 days (no self discipline)
Always a challenge. ;)
ZodiacGuesser You could also do a lower “degree” of prepping. I personally don’t like reheated or cold food either, but what I do do is preparing the ingredients for what I want to make beforehand. For example, I’ll spice/fill a chicken breast and wrap it in aluminium foil, so i just need to toss it in the oven later. Or I’ll cut up potatoes and other veggies and put them in a container with spices and some oil and also just toss them in the oven when i want to have them.
If you have time to cook from scratch every day, that’s great. But most people are too worn out and would otherwise just grab an unhealthy microwave meal or similar :(
ZodiacGuesser I believe your personal reasons against meal prepping are more of an exception. I didn’t mean to convince you to do it, I was just explaining why it can work for most other people.
I do get your point about the frustration about “making food without eating it afterwards” that’s why I usually meal prep before or while making that days dinner haha. Your other points are valid reasons too ofc, I just don’t personally relate to them. Everyone should just do what works for them ofc :) it’s great that you found a way to do things for you, since it seems to be important for your lifestyle!
I thought I was alone 😂👍🏼
That's really glutinous man. Have a bit on will power!
Thank you for the video, I like your approach of meal prepping a lot better, I never really thought of doing things this way. I also really appreciate how you didn’t leave out tiny little details that most people might know but are so helpful for beginners like how to roast the same veggies together, etc. Keep the meal prep videos coming! ❤️
You're welcome Abadan! Happy you liked the video and found it helpful. I'll definitely do more in the future. :)
I second this, so helpful! About the eggs though, were those medium or large eggs ?
I completely agree with the comment above! I have always been overwhelmed by the thought of spending an entire day (or more) shopping, chopping, and cooking. This was easy...and beautiful! Very inspiring. Would love to see more!
I really enjoyed this video also. I've never watched anything like it. But, somehow I missed the tiny detail about how long to bake the chicken and the sweet potato toast. I went over and over the video and couldn't find it. My best guess is maybe 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Anybody want to help me here?
THIS is exactly what I needed. I'm tired of being told to eat the same meal 3-5x a week. That's lazy. .
Your method is clever, economical and easy. We all have favorite flavor profiles we tend to use but, vary seasonal produce , proteins and heartier or lighter cuisine as temps change.
Thank you for giving people a simple and practical way to plan, prep and cook for the week. Please continue. I'd like to learn more Mediterranean, Clean and Plant based meal ideas.
This is exactly what I do! Every week I prep quinoa, brow rice, sweet potatoes, corn pasta, lentils tomato sauce (some week I skip that and buy some pesto instead), roasted veggies, a bean salad of some sort (usually chick peas salad), boiled eggs, and I keep fresh fruit & veggies in the fridge as well. Then I mix and match what I feel like eating, sometimes adding fish or sauté shrimps. Once in a while I'll prep chicken breasts too. 10 mins and I always have a healthy and delicious meal!
You sound like a pro Lisa! That's awesome! :)
Lisa Isabelle i
way to go young woman!
I usually have pinto beans, too. Living in San Antonio it’s the thing to do! With rice, chicken, avocado, and salad it’s a tortilla-less chalupa!🌹
Chicken and eggs are far from healthy! Swap it out with seasoned tofu, temphe, or beans!:)
HI Lisa, Love all your videos. My 10-yrs old daughter introduced me to your channel , she knew I wasn't happy with my kitchen , and every day cooking life.We watched million vids, and YT channels ,looking for healthy /minimalist-a life style, but never done anything ,until we find your channel. YOU MY INSPO :) My life getting easy every day with you.Thank you for sharing all your methods and ideas. More Please
Aww, thanks so much! I'm thrilled to hear that both you and your daughter love my videos. Hopefully my videos will continue to provide a little inspiration in your kitchen and home. :) x
I've tried meal prepping whole meals for the week but I always didn't really enjoy it because of having to eat the same meal every day. Your ingredients-based meal prep method is genius but so simple! I'm going to try it out.
I still found it boring by the end of the week 😢 I love anything spicy and soupy, these kind of meal preps are just to dry for me
@@nisa3612 then make your own with meals u like
@@nisa3612 you can probably combine those ingredients mentioned in the video for your soup you know.
@@nisa3612 What stops you from making spicy and soupy meal preps? Soups are the best thing for freezing.
I love it!!! Awesome idea. Always wanted to meal prep but yea i dont think i can eat the same thing 4-5 times a week..
I was the meal prepper who made one meal for 5 days, this video gave me so much good insight on how to make several meals without spending a lot of time in the kitchen and they were all healthy and looked tasty. Definitely inspired.
What a great plan! I've never liked the whole meal prep thing because we would get so bored eating the same lunch every day. That would make us waste it all and end up in a restaurant or drive-through. This is brilliant because we could mix it all up just like you showed. It's like having a salad bar/buffet right in the fridge.
I'm right there with you Neal! And I love your analogy of it being a salad bar/buffet in the fridge. That's the perfect description! :)
Easy to understand, economical, healthy, teen-approved, and simply fabulous! A++
Aww, thanks so much Deborah! I'll take that A++ ;) x
AND.... this is why you are looking,
TRIM
HEALTHY &
HAPPY ❤️.
At one point in my life before Covid I ate this way. Last December my sweet girl 🐶 got really sick and we lost her on January 14th and that evening my father in law also passed away 💔.
I was nervously eating in December and we of course went to the funeral late January where hubby and I got infected with covid. About a week ago I finally can taste and smell most things! 10 pounds heavier and covid hair loss. Just miserable! I'm really looking for to your videos for inspiration and thank you so much 💗.
I believe this will be a great source for me!
Omg this is SUCH a good idea! I’ve never seen “ingredient” prep instead of “meal” prep/ this seems SO much more realistic and attainable but yet you still get so many different meal possibilities. Thank you so much! This is awesome!!
So glad you enjoyed the video Tiffany. :) x
Of all the meal prep videos I've watched, this one is not only visually nice, but so easy to understand and I plan on making similar ingredients to make in my fridge. Thank you!!
That makes me so happy to hear. Thanks so much!
This is the best meal prep I've ever watched. Heathly too. Looks great. The variety is great. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it Meghan!!
This content is exactly what I needed, my life for the last several years was go to the store, buy healthy food, bring it home, leave it in the little plastic bags and shove it in the refrigerator and then throw it away a week later, after barely touching some of the stuff.
Now I bring home all of this beautiful organic produce, spend a couple hours of washing everything and putting everything in nice clear glass containers, and we are eating healthier than ever. Thank you thank you thank you! By the way, your homemade mayo is so good. My mother always talked about homemade mayo being superior to store bought, but difficult to make, and I have tried it in the past with failures, but your recipe was easy and came out PERFECT! Again I can’t thank you enough! Please make another meal prep video one day and include some beef recipes for all of us type O’s.
Glad this video has sparked some inspiration for healthy meal prep and that some of my recipes have been a success in your kitchen 😊 I will definitely be coming out with more meal prep content in the near future.
Hi Lisa,
For the first time yesterday, I came across Downshiftology. It appealed to me for a couple of reasons. I want to eat healthy, I have little imagination when it comes to meal planning, and, even though I’m retired and have more time than ever, I have no interest in spending a great deal of time in the kitchen. Each night, I walk into the kitchen, open the refrigerator and struggle with what to make.
I was so excited to find MEAL PREP. After watching it a couple of times, I made a shopping list and headed out to buy glass storage containers, a device for making spiral vegetables, and groceries. After church this morning, I returned home and while watching your video, I followed all the steps. Soon, the kitchen was filled with delicious aromas and, in very little time, all the glass containers were filled with 9 ingredients. The only substitution being cauliflower instead of brussel sprouts.
For my first meal, I sautéed spinach, spiral zucchini, garlic, and chicken. I added cheese, walnuts, and ground pepper. The flavor was out of this world.
I look forward to future recipes and all your wonderful ideas. I’m also glad to own a Vitamix which will be most helpful.
Thank you, Lisa. Thank you so much. Your newest fan,
Linda
Your comment totally made my day! So happy you enjoyed the video and meal prepped all those recipe. Yay. Go YOU!
Amen Miss Linda! This video really helped me not to feel overwhelmed with the whole mess of eating and what to eat. Im not into planning meals but I can do ingredients and make a meal out of them! Thank you Lisa ( I think that is your name) @ downshiftology! I can do this, I pray.
Oh my gosh, all I could say is that you are such an idol for culinary prep meal cook with time efficiency.
At some point, I realized that making good preparation makes a huge difference when we plan a day.
Yes! Meal prepping like this can definitely save you tons of time 😊
I sit here and wonder that a person like Ronaldo can have 100 M subscribers but a person like you showing tips and ideas to make everyday life healthy and easy, only have 2M. Admire your work. Pure Perfection. Definitely will use this from next week. 👌 Love from Newzealand.
Hi Lisa, great videos, I’m a first timer, and I truly enjoyed watching. In the month of December, I cut out sugar, dairy, dread, and wine for a whole month. The first 3 days was torture, but after that, was ok. Now watching what u eat in a day, gives me I a lot of ideas, thank u, u are great. Yes and working out really helps. Soula from Toronto.
Bravo Soula! KALA XRISTOUGENNA!
I love this type of meal prepping! I get so bored if I have to eat the same thing twice but I also don’t have time to spend an hour in the kitchen every day - like all of us.
Yes, meal prepping this way solves both of those problems. Glad you enjoyed the video Lara! :)
You ma'am, are a genius for putting this together in a simple, straight, succinct manner
Aww, thanks so much! I really appreciate that. :)
I cannot overstate how thankful I am that you shared this recipe. I tried it today with ingredients I had on hand. I opted to use the immersion blender to make the whole pot creamy. As one who is not a good cook, I was blown away that I made such a delicious soup. You are a great teacher!
These are awesome ideas! Thank you!
Thanks for watching! :)
We like to make sweet potato chips. Slice on thinnest setting on mandolin. Brush with two thirds solution of honey to lemon water and sprinkle with any of the pumpkin pie spices. Put in a dehydrator. Dry until very crisp. My kids liked to do a combination of apple, pear and sweet potato.
This is the kind of stuff I’d do on an “I’m a motivated and put-together adult person” week/day, think to myself “this feels amazing and I feel good and energized and I will do this forever”... and a few days later half of it rots in my fridge as I lose interest in having my crap together and order sushi.
lmao, thats like me. i go all out buy lots of fresh stuff then throw it in the bin cus its all gone off.
same lol
Me too
That's why I can't do prep for meals for a whole week, lol. It's like 7 days, I can't imagine these cooked potatoes, salad ect to be still edible. So I do meal preps only for 2, 3 days and it works.
@@realswobby Same! One must know oneself to serve oneself... and to preserve one's vegetables...
I sometimes freeze rice in a muffin tin then trensfer to a bag when frozen. These rice " muffins" are portioned sized and easy to toss in my lunch bag or grab for my dinner when I have a long day and don't feel like cooking. I usually have some type of veggies and meat either prepped or left overs. I'm going to do the same with my next batch of quinoa...freeze a few " muffins"
That's a great idea!! Love it!
That's brilliant! Going to try that, thanks.
Can you microwave them to reheat?
Meat is not healthy! Swap the meat with yummy seasoned tofu, temphe, or beans!:)
@@pineapplefriedrice9598 no.
This is so far the best prep video I have seen… so motivated to start this!!❤🎉
I have watched almost every video on this channel multiple times, especially when my antiinflamitory diet gets me discouraged. Thank you for sharing these videos.
FINALLY! I've been sifting through meal prep vids all day trying to find something that clicked with me. This looks perfect for me AND doable. I'll be looking for more. Thank you!
Yay - that makes me so happy to hear! Thanks Regina! :) x
Thank you Lisa, you’ve completely changed the way I eat!! I’m safely fending off the dangers of type 2 diabetes now and saving time each day with my prepared ingredients.😃
I would love for you to post more meal prep videos and recipes. I'm trying to lose weight, eat healthier and these are such healthy recipes.
This level of perfection in household chores is deeply depressing to normal people.
Celisar1 I struggle with perfectionism depression too. For years I just didn’t even try anything since I knew I’d never be satisfied. Now I do small tasks. No way I could do a week’s worth of anything without hating it and myself. So I meal prep for 2-3 days at a time vs 7 days. Better than nothing. Then keep it up. That’s a possible goal.
You don't have to be perfect to turn a new page in your life and want more. Some depression comes from not using your life. We are about to leave the shelter in place so videos like this will help us plan ahead. Boy she sure made that look simple.
Exactly my point
It's highly edited. There's no way that the kitchen isn't a mess when prepping all of this food. The scraps are not in the video and everything is clean for it to look "perfect". Though this video IS helpful, I actually prefer ones that are more realistic.
I'm far from perfect but enjoy getting new ideas to use. Often I dont get round to many, but even one thing I use makes it worthwhile. Dont try and be like her, just use what you can
Really nicely done. I think having very good knives, pans, cutting boards and glass storage containers makes a big difference.
Yes, it sure does!
The meals at the end looks like something someone would take a picture of at a restaurant and put on Instagram, they look so good 😍
Lisa, Your meal prep is flawless and delicious! Thank you for all the yummy, fresh ideas. I wish that cooks like yourself would push organic more, and say that it's not only for our health, but it supports organic farmers, which we need more of in this country, and most importantly, it's not polluting the planet, nearly as much. It's almost like it's a stigma to mention the truths about buying organic on these shows.....now, more than ever, we need smart, creative people like yourself to really speak the truth, and not to mince words. The other thing is the paper towels; everyone should be buying paper towels made from recycled paper! not trees! And also paper towels which are not bleached in dioxin (which you did mention), which all paper towels made from trees are bleached. People watching this video are going to learn from you, that most paper towels are made from trees clear cut down in the Canadian Boreal forrest, the biggest carbon eater in the world, is being cut down for PT and TP. We need to spread the word, so only buy paper products made from paper and those brands which I know of are Marcal and Seventh Generation, I know there are others too,. You can read on the packaging and that will tell you. If everyone stopped buying paper towels made from trees, then all companies would have to make paper products from recycled paper and not trees. I very much enjoy your show, , but we need everyone spreading the word about these small practices which could really help the planet, if more people know/practice them.
Me watching healthy food life style while knowing damn well I will eat hot cheetos for breakfast
a girl hiding in her room i feel called out
I will eat the cheetos for breakfast but they won't be hot. Too old for that :-)
it's because you are learning. Right now you don't have the need to watch what you eat, but as you get older it will come handy. You know this that is why you are here. ;)
a girl hiding in her room I searched “healthy food ideas” cuz I just ate 10+ mini candy bars for breakfast lmao
Lol same
what she has in her pantry: lots of veggies and fruits, rice, chicken, herbs, and enough kitchenware to hold all of them
my pantry: some peanut butter, lots of cereal, some canned veggies, box of rice, ramen noodle
Lol. Right??

Yeah mine’s like some rice, crisps and sweets, but most importantly, the food delivery app and a takeaway catalogue for my city 😅
Lol seriously!😂

Today is Jan 1st'21...there is no better way than starting off the new year with this genius idea but not a new concept ..however willpower is the key! I'm looking forward in getting my health and weight under control. Thank you for all the great tips and I look forward in checking in with you for more meal preps as the months go by.
Yes! Goodbye 2020 hello 2021!
Keep moving forward
How's it going?
Thank you. I am not a meal planner (hence why a bowl of air popped popcorn is a meal staple in my home). But I really want to be. You phrase, "...and with a little imagination you can make..." terrified me. But you made it very simple. Thank you for providing a wonderful, beginner-friendly tutorial featuring a lot of variety
Watching this just make me so happy and filled with joy. This kind of structure to my meals is what i need. Thank you for showing how easy it can be.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this advice on meal prep! I've always wanted to meal prep but have never done it because I couldn't imagine eating the same thing for a week at a time. This is the perfect solution!
I agree. I just couldn't enjoy eating the same meal for 5 days in a row. Glad you loved the video! :)
I learned from a chef to place the cookie sheet in thre oven while it's preheating to 500 F° (or 475 F° convection), than add the oil to the pan, than place the veggies unto the hot pan, and into the oven and cook them for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Since than I've been preheating thre pan for everything; bacon, chicken, fish, etc. 😊 Thanks for the great tips!
then*
I’ve just gotten on page with this lately for workable and reworkable options during the week with hubby and kids. Thanks so much for visualizing to share the concept for buy-in.
I watch this video every half a year or so to replenish my meal prep inspiration ☺ This is the video that got me to start thinking of meal prep differently 2 years ago, and I always go back to it! Thank you for the great ideas and beautifully produced content! ❤🥦🥚🍊
I used to think this sort of organization was out of reach, but I'll be darned- this is really good advice. Thank you for the crash course in getting one's life together.
You are TOTALLY DOPE! Finally, someone gets me! I love meal prepping but the same meal everyday for five days? Nah! Your custom designing tips are everything!! Thanks so much!!
Thanks so much Ibaria! I'm thrilled your loving my videos! :) x
My gosh, I just love your ideas. Everything feels so clean, natural, healthy, and simple! Absolutely beautiful.
Am i the only one who got distracted by how beautiful her kitchen is ?
As someone who struggles with cooking (and thereby meal prepping) it would be sooooo helpful for me if videos like this also made clear HOW LONG each meal-prepped thing will last in the fridge. I don't know much about that stuff and looking it all up individually will just make my head spin... it would be so cool if meal prep videos included "all of this lasts for tops 4 days" or sectioned things off in how long things will keep.
If she's prepping for the week, it should be safe to expect the items to be consumed within 5 -7 days.
All of that information is listed on the downloadable PDFs (link in description). :)
I love how doable this is, all the ingredients are easy to find.
Well, I’ve just subscribed. I don’t know how people can eat the same meal for days, so this strategy is more realistic for me. Thank you!
God, I love this lady!!! She really done saved us, so organized...I LOVE IT!!
Love this! A lot of really good base components. To add more flavor you could also add pesto to the zucchini pasta, sriracha to the chicken avocado salad, or some chili flakes on the sweet potato toast.
Yes, those would all be amazing flavor enhancers!
Love this so much. I'm trying to learn more about how to eat clean and healthy. Your video is so well explained and easy to follow. I love how everything is natural, no canned or pre-packaged food
I remember watching your meal prep one year ago and thinking everything looks so healthy, fresh and delicious. And finally you don't eat the same everyday which I hate. I just bought your book. Good luck in your journey. Greetings from Germany
This is the best meal prep video I've seen. I've been eating more broccoli, brussel sprouts, and red onion sauteed/steamed but I really want to start roasting. So much easier and I can cook it all for the week. Thanks for this great video.
So glad to hear that Patrick! PS, I have another meal prep coming soon :)
Wow! You are very organized.
I do my best. :)
