Hi guys! My second meal prep video is finally here. Woot! I hope you love this one as much as the first video and if you'd like to see a summer meal prep video let me know in the comments below. If you have any specific ingredients or recipes you'd like to see in a new video, let me know that as well. Happy meal prepping! xo - Lisa
Thank you so much Lisa! This was great. Such variety with not very many ingredients. Hope you enjoy the holiday weekend now :)
Thanks so much Debbie! And I'm definitely taking a day or two off to relax now. ;) Hope you enjoy the recipes!
Downshiftology thanks so much for meal prep ideas!! As a college student, meal prepping makes my life so much easier. Can't wait to try these recipes. Looking forward to more. :)
I love these meal prep videos and would love more!
Downshiftology I have discovered your channel & wanted to tell you thank you for making wonderful vids. I’m trying at 39 to change my eating lifestyle & you have giving me some great ideas. I do have one question? I don’t know what or how to find a good Matcha tea 🍵. Their are so many brands , do you mind recommending one? Thank you ! Great vids & you have a new subscriber:)
These videos make me feel like I could have some control over my own life.
You inspire me to start meal prepping and eat healthier.
So happy to hear that! :)
Possibly the best meal prep video I've ever seen.
Yay - thanks so much! Happy you enjoyed it!
Agreed
Thank you for making meal prep streamlined for busy people. Beautiful, simple
food!
You are literally genius!
Thanks so much Chrisette! :) x
Entirely agree 🤗
I had bariatric surgery in 2019, yep right before the pandemic of 2020. I have lost 120 pounds and found I am gluten sensitive. My husband has found out he has Celiac disease. So we are a gluten-free house now and I am learning how to meal prep and do things the healthy way. You are so inspiring to me for a great way to meal prep...buffet style is so much more appealing than eating the same thing everyday. Thank you for that idea!
One of my favorite aspects to your meal prep videos (as well as recipe videos) is that you use affordable and accessible ingredients. Healthy food does NOT have to cost a fortune! Thank you for sharing these ideas. Can't wait to see more videos soon! :)
Yes, it's so true! Healthy food is definitely accessible for all. No need for spirulina and goji berries on everything (though I do like those as well - ha). ;) But the simple basics are where it's at!
it depends where are you living. In my country most of the ingredients are so so expensive, avocado, srimp, chia, almonds, etc. Only the carrot is not that expensive. Also the tools are insane expensive.
I love this!! I agree - seasonal is best and taste best also! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Natasha! And yes, so much more flavor when you eat veggies in season. :)
@@Downshiftology Great Video. The food mixture is creative, fresh and inspiring. Really Enjoyed the Video
Just discovered your channel and I love it! Sweet greetings from Italy ❤️
Thanks so much! Hugs to Italy! :) x
I love your meal preps, it’s how I came across your wonderful channel! 😘
Yay - happy to hear that!
Rain Merchant me too 👍🏼
Me too. Haven't tried it yet but very inspired.
Same! Today I tried a few things from the first meal prep video! One of them were the sweet potato toasts! Really nice!
Me too! :)
I love this! I have autoimmune illnesses too, and sometimes I just do not have enough energy to cook when I get home from work. This is inspiring me to eat more fresh foods and variety for better health. Thanks so much!
I have JUST found you. LOVE the food preps..please do regularly.
I've got a summer meal prep coming up soon!
Ugghh how do I get my life together like you?!?!?! Life goals!! Just a beautiful person cooking a beautiful meal in a beautiful kitchen!
Just lots of little baby steps. :) x
I'm so blessed to have found your channel and to learn how to prepare these beautiful meals.
Barbara
Thank you! So happy you enjoy the videos and recipes!
My words Bar B. Thank you so much for sharing with us 👍🏽
It’s so satisfying to see the filled up containers 😍🤭
Love love absolutely love your videos, your entire channel is a recent discovery for me and I have learned so much already! You have the most beautiful style of speaking and presenting and preparing all of your wonderful dishes, what a great channel. Thank you so much.
I love how you preparing ingredients instead of prepping meals. I get so bored eating the same thing during the week, and by Friday I can't get myself to eat the same meal again. Your meals looks super easy but also super good!
Exactly! I do a lot of making meals with the same group of ingredients, but changing it up so that I don't get bored. I cannot eat the same thing every day!
Thank you so much for the effort you put into these videos! I absolutely love them and would love a summer meal prep video as well.
Awesome - glad you enjoyed it! And I'll add a summer one to the list!
This is the very first meal prep video I love! You make it so easy. You're not cooking pounds of meat and vegetables. You make every ingredient so diverse and delicious. I'm so glad your channel came up on my home feed. Thank you for the videos.
I love love love your meal preps, very simple, affordable, and tasty. Exactly what I like. Please do more, I can't wait for you to do a summer meal prep. I know there's going to be a big demand from the other viewers. 😋😁
Thanks so much Natasha! And yes, simple, tasty food is always best in my books. Glad you enjoy these videos and I'll definitely add a summer meal prep to the list! :) x
Oh my goodness everything looks so amazing! I absolutely LOVE your videos!!
Thanks so much Cindy!!
Omg lisa I hate you! First you did an amazing meal prep video, then now you provide another meal prep video for spring with a clear beautiful pdf guide for free for both videos :( I mean I have no excuse now to not meal prep those healthy dishes. Thanks for all the inspiration! yes I love this video, yes I got my pdf guide, yes I ready to do this next week, yes I want a summer meal prep video, and yes I want you to be my mom. lol ok bye. Keep inspiring!
Haha. So funny Fransiscus! I'm happy to hear you're loving these videos and recipes (and the PDFs). You definitely have no excuses not to meal prep now. Lol. I've got a summer meal prep in the queue as well...and as for being your mom, well I guess I could adopt you! ;) x
How did you get the guides? None sent to me.
Why do people start with "I hate you?" I know it's an expression it's just a stupid one. Just as easy to Use nice words. That said I think you are great! Thanks for all the tips.
❤️😍HI! Lisa, Just wanted to say A big THANK YOU FOR your support, help, for all the meal prep, help in shopping, Making such an big help,

Most off your Gluten free, Recipes I've known through my Daughter, For She has a very high level of allergies to Gluten.
Now I can support and surprise her with new delicious fun things to enjoy.
You're inspirational, your approach is simply amazing. I've been trying for the last two years to clean up my eating. I discovered your channel this week. I've already tried several of your recipes with great success. Your meal preparation ideas makes me feel that I can be totally in control of my eating choices without too much stress.
Please keep up your brilliant work.
Thank you so much.
Michael
Yes, please to a summer meal prep video! Thank you ~ this is fantastic!!
Happy you enjoyed this video Priya! And I'll add a summer meal prep to my list! :) x
I love your strategy of prepping components! Such an innovative and much more approachable way of meal prepping!!
These videos are so detailed! Your work is impeccable, very, very, very well done. I love watching these.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that!
Where have you been all these years?! So thankful for your wonderful, delicious, eye pleasing, refreshing recipes. Eating healthy never felt so good 😊
I love your meal preps! They are so very practical and easy. 😊 I love how you presented your meal prep and the possible dishes we can come up with using those ingredients. Great idea! And yes to the summer meal prep please!
So happy you enjoyed the video and possible meal ideas. :) And will do on a summer meal prep!
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was thinking of doing this week. I work as a field technician so sometimes I don't have access to a microwave. Keep these meal prep videos coming because they're a huge help! ♥ Thank you for the downloads also.
Oh yes, then salads and spring rolls will be perfect for you! Happy to hear the videos and PDFs are helpful. Thanks Dorayley! :) x
Your videos are addictive :D You got me moving in the kitchen this morning!
You have inspired me to meal prep! I always wanted to, but never did because of the thought of having the same thing over and over again. I found your channel today, binged watched a bunch of videos, sat down and made a menu for the week, went grocery shopping and am now meal prepping!
A new happy suscriber here! Thank you so much! 😁
I'm so happy to hear my videos are helping you to find new ways to meal prep! You can also find more ways to utilize these ingredients for different recipes on my website :) Also, welcome to the Downshiftology community!
Wow!! I would like to see a meal prep video every month 😍 but I get it that such a video is very time consuming and therefore you probably can't produce it as often.
Haha. Yeah, I get a lot of requests for them weekly, but this one took me three weeks to produce. ;) I will do them every season though!
These are my favorite videos so far that you make. Everything is so clean, delicious, and healthy! I cannot wait for your next one! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Naomi! And I've definitely got a summer meal prep in the works. ;) x
dawn I just found your website and I cant tell u how much I enjoyed your preps and recipes thanks a bunch
Please make more of these videos. They’re super helpful!!! 😃
Love your channel because it's so balanced and do able.. keep going with these meal prep ones 😍😆
I’ve been loving these videos!!! Beautiful ingredients, beautifully filmed, beautiful soul! Hoping we will see a Fall version in the near future! 😘
Thanks so much!
I’m so happy that you state in one of your earlier videos that you are cooking for 1.
I tend to make excuses for myself.. by saying I can cook.. but I’m only 1.. and I don’t like to eat leftovers..
Thanks again.. you’re amazing
Please continue with your meal preps, recipes and tips. I really enjoy them. You could also let us know what products And tools you like like best around the house: spiralizer is one I’m interested in getting, but other ones will awesome. I enjoy your videos. You have a calm, elegant and serene way of doing things and speak. It is pleasent to listen to and watch. Thank you

Your videos are absolutely amazing, such unique recipes and the way you display everything is incredible. Love it and cant wait for a summer version of this!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Your recipes for seasons are super and healthy, will help me find good diet. Have suffered a mild stroke as of lately and will use some of your ideas for tasty eating. More fiber and less fat, with balanced protein to keep my energies up on my way back to normal, lots of veggies with enhanced flavour.
Each day is a gift to life’s welcome .
I love watching these prep videos....this is food I'll eat Thank U...
I want to thank you for the meal prep thus far.. I prepared today with everything.. I need to be healthy.. It took me a while for I had to purchase all of the containers which I finally completed. This a new journey for me by taking care of myself in what I consume and other ways.. love your website as well as this channel.. thank you for making this transition so easy!😌😊
You're more than welcome! So happy to hear that these videos and recipes are inspiring you on your healthy journey. Best wishes to you! :) x
Thanks for all the wonderful Healthy knowledge and ideas. Would love to see ideas on fermented foods. Thanks
As an Asian, I can't imagine a 2-3 day old rice. I can't even stomach one day old rice. Still a great video! I wish i wish we have blueberries! Ive never tried one but it looks so tasty!
It blows my mind sometimes just how disconnected we are in the U.S. I completely thought blueberries we're just a normal fruit that everyone has tried. I need to get out more 😂😂
I love her video but feel so uncomfortable with even the thought of old rice.
Jeremnis Bubu next day rice in a salad is ok! But a side dish it gets so hard the texture. Never tastes the same! Maybe if its fried up
is not fried rice made out of yesterday/old rice? Don't you eat fried rice at all?
I’m an Asian. I prepare rice for 5 days. I’m busy and don’t have time to cook meal every day. And it’s totally good
You're so wonderful for doing all this for people! Thank you and God bless you!
Lisa I love your recipes, how delicate your kitchen is and how healthy they are, I put them into practice. Thanks a lot.
I love love love these meal prep videos, please do more :-)
Thank you so much for the video! It’s a joy for the eye. The PDF document will very useful.
Thanks so much Andree! Glad you found the PDF helpful! :) x
Please keep them coming! I'm new to meal prep and I love how healthy everything you do is, starting with fresh ingredients, no semi ready dips and sauces, and finishing with glass containers - just what I was looking for! Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it! And I've got more coming. ;) x
These are the best meal preps I’ve ever seen. Amazing job!!
Wow, thank you! 😊
I love your videos! I binged them all awaiting the hurricane here in FL
That’s what I’m doing now lol
Love your meal preps! Can't wait to try these.
Wonderful! Hope you enjoy them!
Thank you so much! This is revolutionary for me lol. I normally just cook a meal for 5 days but you make it so simple to eat different meals during the week. I never thought about this. Please please keep making these videos, I need as many inspirational videos as posible!!
I wish you did this full time! I could watch your videos everyday so inspiring!!
I liked it, I shared it, I commented on this.....you are amazing! You make it look so easy and fun, on top of that you look flawless and beautiful! Great video...can't wait for another meal prep!
Would like to see some quinoa this time and maybe deserts.
Thank you for your time and the PDFs and so well edited videos...thosePDFs, oh god, soooo thoughtful of you!!! Thanks....I am sharing this....I want all my friends to know you! Keep inspiring me! 👍
Thanks so much for your kind words Laura! I'm happy to hear you loved the video and PDF's - yay! And thanks for sharing and spreading the word - I greatly appreciate that!! I've definitely got a dessert in mind for the summer meal prep as well. ;) x
Your videos are just mesmerizing.
Thanks so much Chelsea! :) x
Your channel is amazing!! Thank you for all of the great content that you provide. Loving your videos :)
your prep videos ( and all the others tbh) are so well done, I just cant watch other ones any more. You've spoiled me with your high quality content and great quality productions. Thank you! (I'm so glad you eat in a way that's close to my own)
Aww, thanks so much for your kind words!
These will be on the menu next week, thanks!!!
Awesome - happy to hear that Mona!
Your videos are the bomb! Love to watch them even though I am a vegan, they are stil always a good inspiration ♥
Thank you Rebecca! I'm so happy you're able to take the ideas and tweak it for your lifestyle. And based on lots of requests, I'll probably have a vegan meal prep video here in the future. :) x
Thank you for you these meal prep videos. I'm a busy homeschooling mom, grandma caring for a newborn and housewife, so I really need these helpful videos. Sometimes we just need a little guidance on how to cook healthy meals with products that we may already own. Thanks again!
I'm glad you enjoy them!
Thank you! I subscribed after watching your previous video, and I used some of your suggestions to prep for this week’s meals! You are delightful, your kitchen is beautiful, your videos are clean and simple to watch, and so professionally done. And now with the PDF’s it’s even better. Thank you so much for gifting us with this delicious and easy to prep recipes.
Aww, thanks so much Simona for your kind words and gratitude on my content. So lovely! I hope you enjoy all of these recipes. :) x
Oh my god.... you’re just amazing 😉 I’m addicted.. and I stand in awe of you!
Aww, thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)
This is so inspirational 🙌🏼❤️❤️
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!!
As a Vietnamese, really appreciate your spin on the summer rolls... much easier and quicker to make!
Thanks so much and I'm thrilled to hear that. :) x
I discovered your other food prep video a few days ago. I loved it so I decided to make the nine ingredients today. I went to watch it again for reference during today's prep and I noticed you posted a spring one. It's like you read my mind! Thanks! :)
Haha. Perfect timing for sure! ;) Hope you enjoy both meal preps!
Gosh you are so talented, I love this, good job.
Thanks so much - I appreciate that! :)
I absolutely love the pdf's they are so helpful!!! Thank u 😊
Awesome - that makes me happy to hear!!
I can see you are super organized, can you make a video telling us how to maintain our house so clean. Amazing video!
Thanks Sharon, I do my best. :) And I can add that to the list for a future video.
I'm so fortunate that I found you Lisa, thank you for everything you have been doing to inspire us to get into a healthy lifestyle.
Thanks for following! Hope you enjoy my recipes :)
OMG, I was drooling through this ENTIRE THING HAHAHHAHAH! Love it, love you for sharing this!
Haha. So happy you enjoyed the video!!
Right?
Lovely!
Thank you Marina! :) x
Thank you Lisa Bryan for your helpful and inspiring videos. I got inspired to cook more often because of you! I would love to see a meal prep for autumn and winter. xo Isa
She's wonderful surely she inspired me, I can't stop watching her videos
I am certainly in favor of a summer one FOR SURE with a coffee/tea option and/or happy hour option and ... could we possibly get a summer dessert option added too! Everything was ***EXTRA FABULOUS*** on this!!! I couldn’t wait for this! 🍽 🍵🥗🥑🥒🍤 #mealprepiswhereitsat 😉😊
Thanks so much Leslie! And I already have a dessert in mind for the summer video. ;) Though I do love the idea of a happy hour option as well. Haha!
So glad another meal prep video. I love how you meal prep in bulk. Side note: I was watching your video at work aloud an my coworker happened to be listening along and he said you have a pleasant voice.
Too funny - but I'll take the compliment! ;) Happy you (both) enjoyed the video!
You are a kitchen wizard!
Love the simple steps and basic techniques!
This all looks lovely, but please keep in mind that avocado, quinoa, and sweet potatoes come a very far way and are healthy, yes, but due to the often long transport they are not environmentally friendly. Often rainforest is cut down to produce all the avocados, and locals in South America cannot afford their main carbohydrant (quinoa) anymore, because it has become a 'superfood' and is sold to Europe and North America.
Id love to see a meal prep with more regional food. (carrots, normal potatoes, apples, cabbage in winter, etc)
Thanks for the video :)
True for the avocados. But I live in Canada and buy sweet potatoes and quinoa that are grown here.
While this is true for many in the United States (or the world) and it's definitely a great point to make - I'd be willing to bet she at least got the avocados and sweet potatoes from local markets. She's in California - local fruit and veg is everywhere, including people's backyards.
You could also just use flaxseeds instead of chia seeds (they are way cheaper too)
Opinions are like noses...they all smell, sometimes good -sometimes not...the general population are not the ones ruining the earth 🌏 if you can get a food, they have already disrupted the earth, just eat it if it’s available & research the only real solution to the FACTS... suggestion - JW’s
Your the best! 1000,000LIKE
Aww, thanks so much!!
I love your recipes!! Thanks so much! Your meal preparations are easy and fun to follow!! I do appreciate for sharing with your followers!!
Thanks so much Silvia! Happy to hear you're enjoying all the meal prep content so far 😊
I live in Canada so in winter is not easy to eat a salad during winter so please meal preps for winter, love your videos my son is loving the food! Thank you
Nice one, love it and thanks for sharing.
Just a question, how long can all these prep last up in the fridge? Because I usually just free a lot of the meals ?
All of the storage times are listed on the PDF guides. :)
Ok thanks
Lisa, I just wanted to ask if you would be open to a video about your skin care routine? You have beautiful skin and hair. Thanks,
Marcie 🌸
Oh gosh, thank you so much Marcie! I think the studio lights in my kitchen definitely give me a beauty boost. Haha. ;) But I'll add that to the list for a future video.
I'm sure the healthy look comes from all the great foods she eats!
Love most of these ideas, and will be trying them for lunches now that Hubby has retired and we are having lunch together now. Would love to see a summer meal prep.
Wonderful - glad you enjoyed it Lindy! And I've got a summer meal prep in the queue now! :)
Love all of your videos, I've been so inspired these past few months since I first found you and have been cooking non stop. All of your hard work has really shown with every video you create and every blog post you share with us. The PDFs are so thoughtful and I'm sure took a lot of work but I can tell you it hasn't gone unnoticed. Thank you for your dedication and I really appreciate everything you do. Easily my favorite person on CZcams!
Aww, thanks so much Lauren for your kind words. I truly appreciate that! And I'm so thrilled you love the videos and meal prep PDF's - yay! :) x
I am absolutely obsessed with your channel
Aww, thanks so much!
Love it all. I am so glad I found this today. Organized and easy with lots of new ideas for me, thanks a lot. Also your personality is quite professional and warm and welcoming. I watched quite a few this morning. God bless you.
I am so happy for this second meal prep video of yours! Your channel is my new fave!! Thanks!
Yay - so happy to hear that!!
I spend my weekends watching so many youtube meal prep videos and I want to give you the grand prize for making the best ones! So happy I finally found you. Thank you for going through so much work to produce these for us and share your secrets and pdf file!
Thanks so much Shanda! I'm so happy you love them. :) x
I've used your summer meal prep for two rotations and I LOVE having everything chopped and prepped ready to eat!! This will be my first time using the Spring PDF. I figure I could use the spring and summer meal prep interchangeably to mix things up! Thank you!!
Absolutely! Can't wait for you to try the Spring one 😊
I'm so happy and feeling wonderful. I started following your videos and meal prepping and I've started to feel great.
I'm so pleased to hear that Raquel!! That's wonderful!
I can’t cook and love your videos they are awesome and motivating I’m getting better everyday
What a great prep video. This is for sure the best I've ever seen.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The blueberry purée is the bomb for a peanut butter and jelly smoothie!!!!
Please make more of these. I love them! It’s really good to see the way you do it slightly different to mainstream meal prep and its all clean eating, not to mention it’s done with limited ingredients so it’s kind on the budget! Looking forward to more.
Thanks so much Elli! Happy to hear that positive feedback and I'll keep doing them as long as the community keeps loving them. ;) Will definitely do a meal prep for summer next! x
Oh wow this was everything I hoped it would be and more!!! I've been hanging out for this as your first break prep video really inspired me to lift my game with food. I've freshly stepped up the food I serve my family and your first prep video was the motivation I needed. I've watched twice already (with ads) thanks for all your hard work with filming and editing. It's really appreciated
Yay - thanks so much Julie and I'm so thrilled to hear that these meal prep videos have inspired you in the kitchen! :) x
These videos are so soothing to watch. Totally calming and inspirational. Thanxs for the videos. South Florida love you ❤️.
Thanks so much Sara! Happy you're enjoying them!
