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
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!
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.
Your method for meal prepping is very efficient, well organized and appears to be super delectable. Your presentation is also extremely beautiful. Job well done hon. God bless!
Thanks so much! 😊
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!
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
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
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.
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 CZcams to have someone come in a few times a week to help her with that.
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"
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
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!!!
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?
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.
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 doable this is, all the ingredients are easy to find.
I love this! Meal prep is so important, and for the people who mentally struggle with losing weight or sticking to healthy eating, planning ahead like you said, can make everything so much easier!
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 appreciate that! 😊
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
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 .
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!
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.
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.
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!
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
Watching your remarkable sense of organization is positively infectious! My approach to my role in the kitchen is revived and reformed. Thank you!
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 is honestly the best idea. Preparing all the ingridients ahead instead of meals. This is genius.
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!!!
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!
I admire people who are very clean and organized coz i have no appetite if my surrounding is not

Thank you for the spoiler :))
Incredible! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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 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
This is the best video ever!!! Thank you so much! 4 years later and you’re still helping others ❤️
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. 😊
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.
Love how you demonstration the simplicity of planning ,cooking, and eating. Enjoyed the Vito and will be implementing these ideas.
My gosh, I just love your ideas. Everything feels so clean, natural, healthy, and simple! Absolutely beautiful.
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 CZcamsd it is very time consuming. If u want it, you better work hard.
Lisa, This is February, 2022 and I am really enjoying your simplicity with healthy ingredients to prepare and eat. Thank you for the organization of good food, healthy ingredient ideas for meals that do not keep one in the kitchen so forever. This is a great video. Thanks again. Looking forward to many more.
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!!!
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.
This kind of meal prepping makes so much more sense than cooking meals to freeze! Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
You get an A+ for organization! Well done
Thank you!
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
I’ve eaten healthy and am very creative as a cook, but losing weight with Noom has me bottoming out on ideas. Your video was so beautiful, the food is so clean and what Noom calls green and yellow foods, I just delighted to have found your creations! Thank you and looking forward to watching more!
So helpful!! Encouraging and simplified for less stress ♥️
Thank you 🙏
Yes please more Meal Prep videos! Especially for beginners!
I’m so over my head most the time when it comes to choosing making and even wanting to eat when it’s time. All the guidance helps. I’m taking it one step at a time. First step, organize and de clutter my fridge and cabinets. Maybe start on a minimal amount of prep today and just keep going. I’m often afraid that what I make will give me a headache or somehow not be satisfactory, so I have to learn to be easy on myself and eat things even if they’re not perfect. With practice makes perfection but I really need the consistency factor… Maybe I’ll get myself a new set of Tupperware for Christmas to inspire this to really work instead of stressing looking through things at every meal.
Thank you again!!!
get healthy recipes shown in just 1-2 minutes? you can find that on this channel
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 😊
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...
Whoever thumbed down this video is a haterrr. This video is so helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your tricks !
Literally my favorite cooking CZcams recipes are so good and healthy and nourishing I love them all thank you for the inspiration
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!
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!!!
I print all the recipes and got all my ingredients for the winter and the meal prep ideas. Thanks. So excited!! I am a certified holistic nutritionist and loved your recipes. Definitely will keep following you. Blessings from BC Canada
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!

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. :)
Yes! My 1st video of you, and I’m obsessed! I like meal planning and prepping and you’ve already brought fresh ideas for me. I love the way you started with the banana (new recipe for me), and ended with the zoodles (another new one for me!). Thank for sharing.
I'd love to see more meal prep ideas for healthy, delicious mix & match meals. Would also appreciate substitution ideas for those allergic, such as to spinach or eggplant. Thank you!
get healthy recipes shown in just 1-2 minutes? you can find that on this channel
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!
Finally a meal prep video that is simple and easy to follow. Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it Nidia!
Thank you for creating a wholesome cooking class!
You have helped me obtain my goals!
I’m very lazy when it comes to food (I guess that’s why I’m watching a meal-prep video) but you make this look so simple and fun that I’ve become excited to try it. Also looking to eat healthier and the ingredients you’ve selected I think are great and yummy. My favorite part is that after you’ve shown us how you prepare and store your ingredients, you actually show us what you can put together with them. Love love love this video, I think it’s well organized and easy to follow and now I’m feeling so motivated. Thank you!
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...
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
This is what I was looking for!!! This is my way of meal planning, I get so bored the regular way! Thank you for this video!
I have just found this video and it has motivated me to prep my meals! I am so lazy when it comes to prepping food. I love your channel. Thank you.
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
Girl I need to be as organized as you. I'm a hot mess. This was so visually appealing🔎
Haha. Baby steps. ;)
Really enjoy your great videos. The weekly preps are great for people alone and not complicated. I am 84senior and would love to see easy hot meal preps if possible. Best wishes for 2022 from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦
You are making this look so easy. I am researching for starting an anti-inflammatory diet. Looks like I found the right place to start. Thank you!
Ooh good luck! I got started with this diet due to endometriosis, and changing what I eat has been so helpful. I hope it is for you, too! If you are searching for any good cookbooks for anti-inflammatory food, ‘Whole New You’ by Tia Mowry is fantastic.
@@carolinepersons4260 thanks for the tip, I didn't know Tia had a cookbook.
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??
Lol,no beers?
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!😂
@@athoswhang6414 it's just liquid bread
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?
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
I love Ur videos, they are so calming and inspiring. I love to listen to them while doing homework or while organising my room etc
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 😍
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!:)
Downshiftology is by far hands down the best recipe or meal idea channel I’ve ever found on CZcams
I love your videos. I just finished my grocery list!
I printed your meal prep Ideas. It’s a life saver!!Thank you!! 🥰🥰
Easy to understand, economical, healthy, teen-approved, and simply fabulous! A++
Aww, thanks so much Deborah! I'll take that A++ ;) x
Am i the only one who got distracted by how beautiful her kitchen is ?
Very nutritious and delicious meals! Thank you for showing us how to prep all the ingredients without hassle! God bless you 🙏 ❤
Thank you I’ve learned so much from your channel. The most important is how to eat healthy not only for me but for my family.
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! :)
Oh my gosh, all I could say is that you are such an idol for culinary prep meal cook with time efficiency.
Loved and learned so many great tips from this video to make life a little less stressful during the week. Thank you so much.x
This was awesome! So informative, easy to follow, and just well done. I’ve got to get to the store to get some of those ingredients for a meal prep day on Sunday. I would enjoy seeing more videos similar to this one with other ingredients. Cheers!
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
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
Hi Lisa, this is such a good way to make my weekly meals so easy and more nutritious. I'm going to give it a try and would love to see more meal prep options. I just discovered a book to help me get my fridge in order by prepping, storing, and organizing veggies and other foods. I want to help my grandson (18) and me eat healthier and lose weight. He loves his fast food! 😞 Thank you and have a good week! 🙂
I love this video! The content is super simple to follow. So far I tried the boiled eggs & it works just the way you instructed
Really nicely done. I think having very good knives, pans, cutting boards and glass storage containers makes a big difference.
Yes, it sure does!
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’ve just found you. You’re amazing!! I’m so excited to try your recipes - I feel like I have my life together a little bit more just by watching your videos
Amazing! Thank you! You’ve made eating healthy sooo simple!❤
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!
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"m glad I came across this video, I like the full meals to change things up instead! Thank you!
I love this. You have inspired me to get more organized with my meals. Thank you, I love your channel💗
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.
You ma'am, are a genius for putting this together in a simple, straight, succinct manner
Aww, thanks so much! I really appreciate that. :)
