I want this to become a series. ❤
Pls and thank you Papa 🙏🏽

Yes!!!!!
Hells yeah 👍 me too
YESSSS!
I feel like the taste test should be after a few days in the fridge and the meal’s been reheated. It’s definitely going to be appetizing when it’s freshly made. Might be a good topic: “how to reheat food so it doesn’t suck” 😂. I’d be interested in that, fwiw
I was really hoping he would address the storage and reheat hurdle in this video. Every meal he made looks great but I know, from years of experience, none of these will will stand the test of (fridge) time + microwave.
One way that I've heard is to put your food in the microwave with a glass of water (that's if you're okay with microwaving). Somehow the water gives back that moisture lost from being in the fridge for so long.
@@deem6077 that works particularly well with chicken, actually a small ramekin of water in the middle of your chicken and rice.
@@froggy3496 not to mention reheating Salmon? How to Make Your Co Workers Hate You 101
@@froggy3496 The salad too, dressing seems to make it wilt faster.
This would take me at least a full day to accomplish!! Because it would include getting groceries, and figuring out work-arounds for not having any equipment besides pots and pans. However, you inspire me to try it. 😊
You could potentially batch that out a bit, especially the proteins which could be purchased in a large pack, seasoned and then frozen in the vac bag ready to go when you start your next prep.
Step one: already have equipment most people don't have.

High five!!
storing chicken breast in the fridge for more than 2-3 days dries it out
hope u can cover the storage tips next time😢
@@edwardlee8792 even after sous vide style cook?? Didn't know that...
Specially by Joshua

If anyone plans on doing this, for the sandwiches I would prep the eggs and sausage ahead of time and make the actual sandwich on the day of. That way the bread won't get too soggy. For the Green goddess salad, I would store your salad dressing in a little container to the side so the lettuce stays crisp.
yes! I just saw the dressed salad x7 and I'm like ... 🦗🦗🦗 ... ain't nobody trying to eat that lettuce on day 2, let alone day 7.
I wonder if he actually meal preps or is it just for content. Anyone that does meal preps know this....
@@debs_229 Most likely content. Kinda sad seeing as how people may actually end up following this and then throw away good food that is just too soggy and gross. Maybe if he keeps doing these series he will adapt to more realistic versions of food prep
How would you store and reheat the eggs without them losing the creamy part inside them?
@@nicolasramirez9926 let the egg come to room temperate and heat up other parts of the sandwhich. The residual heat from the toasted bread and heated up sausage should be enough to heat up the egg to a good enough temperature and be yummy without cooking the yolk all the way
Thanks! The moisture advice seems like a game changer. Although we must all always had felt for and loved moist in our food, still I could never make a concrete sense of why I prefer certain meals. Wow, appreciate your aid in the realization.
I came here for the ideas and I am grateful for the salad dressings and sauces as well as the turkey egg sandwich. Though I don’t meal prep I found these ideas useful to add to my repertoire. Thanks Josh.
Ooooooooh, perfect opportunity to do a "But Healthier" series Josh. New year chance for us all to take some learnings and make delicious yet healthy food for 2023!
Pin it 📌📌📌
I really hopes he sees this
Just eat, don't add the dressing, sauce, and workout. Done
That is a MUST

PLEAAAAASE

You're askin for a lot bruther
Wow, I'm impressed by your commitment to getting shredded with meal prep! It's not always easy to find healthy meals that taste good and are budget-friendly, but it looks like you've got it down. Your one-hour meal prep for the week is a game-changer, and I'm sure your body will thank you for it. Thanks for sharing your tips and recipes for cheap and healthy meals, and for inspiring us all to take charge of our health and wellness. Keep up the amazing work!
the delivery of this video was spot on. this is by far one of the best videos ive come across. Im glad I found your channel. Great job!
I have done meal prep before, and my lesson is to avoid leafy greens, because they won't stay fresh in fridge, especially if you dress the salad in advance it wilts super fast, like immediately. Also, you can't heat lettuce in microwave. Better veggie options for meal prep are broccoli or green beans. :)
Great tip! Thanks
My first thought exactly
Nonsense. You're doing it wrong. You need to keep the leaves dry and they will last over a week even with meat and other stuff on top. I typically throw it out after 4-5 days, but honestly it still looks and smells the same so I'm just being wastefully cautious.
yeah like how am i supposed to reheat an entire toasted sandwich in the work microwave without it becoming a soggy rubbery mess?
I was thinking that same thing about the salad. No way that stays fresh for 7 days.
Might be a silly question, but if you do more stuff like this, could you also include some info on how you reheat prepped meals without drying/ruining them? I really can't stomach cold meals, especially in winter, and I always wonder how people reheat these dishes (especially sandwiches). Thank you! And good luck on your fitness journey! :)
My thoughts exactly. I think that’s why my pre prep meals are usually cold cuts, peanut butter etc My husband also refuse to use the office’s microwave because everyone else acts like boys and don’t clean up after themselves.
Microwaves have a reheat function that will reheat the food without drying it. The usual process is REHEAT, "2", and then press [1, 2, or 3]. 1 will reheat for about 3.5 minutes (which is great for a few slices of pizza), whereas 3 is 9 minutes and change, which I use for a plate of chicken, dressing, and gravy. Most people just throw food into the microwave and tell it to cook for a period of time, which is fine for when the food needs to be cooked, but disastrous when it just needs warmed up.
As another example, I don't like crunchy bagels, so I throw one in, reheat for 3.5 minutes, but take it out after about 30-45 seconds. This gives a very warm, but soft, bagel, which I then cover in Irish butter.
A big one for me is rice, idk how to leave rice in the refrigerator and have it not dry out
For sandwiches make the filling in advance, but toast/add the bread to assemble at the place of consumption the morning of the day you plan to consume it. Assembling a sandwich takes a minute and avoids dry/soggy reheated bread.
*Another Tip* -- There tends to be a line to use the Microwaves for work at Lunch Hour. Noticed there usually isn't a line to use the Toaster Ovens.
So, wrapped meals to cook at the highest setting for 20 minutes 30 minutes before lunch; allowing 10 minutes of cooldown for piping hot food when Lunch Hour begins.
For sandwiches, I find panini press or waffle pan is the quickest way to reheat and serve. Leftover cooked rice is the best if stored frozen then microwave. Or you reengineer the assembled rice plate into a stir-fried rice dish with a little oil, aromatics and seasoning.
Thank you for this fantastic video on preparing cheap and healthy meals for the week in just one hour! It's incredibly helpful for those looking to eat healthily on a budget and with limited time. Your tips and recipes are a great inspiration for maintaining a balanced diet. Keep up the great work!
Would love it if Josh tackles not just this method of meal prep but the component style of meal prep - the kind where you make a few veggies, a few proteins, and can mix and match to make different style bowls or wraps. This video definitely is the most interesting meal prep video for the "multiple containers" method (if I have to see another taco salad I swear-) but for those of us who can't stand eating the same meal seven times in a row (or even more than once!) I'd love to see variety!
Yes yes yes yes
Check out Downshiftology. She does exactly that and has one video for every season so you can shop seasonally.
I've just started my weight loss journey and so many people have recommended meal prep. But the recipes are so predictable and boring. You cant go from eating McDonald's 4 days a week to eat salads everyday. Also how on earth do you make a salad stay nice and crispy for more than a few days? If I see one more "taco" that's just a veggie wrap I'm going to lose my mind.
Check out Ethan cheblowskis recent vid on meal prep. This is what he talks about
@@pabbaditya was just about to suggest the same. Ethan's videos are awesome!
I really want to see an actual hour-long video where you do this in real time, no cuts, no voiceover. I feel like for the average person, this would be several hours. I want to see how fast you're really going to judge how long it will really take me. And, was chopping/prep included in that hour? Because planning, shopping, and prep need to be factored in!
It 100% is. 2 of these meals likely takes an hour+. 4 is easily 2.5hr
it seems like its just cook times, no prep
Sounds like excuses
Yeah there is NO way this includes any prep, getting mise en place, or cleanup.
Also the average person does not have that sous vide bath machine thingy at home.
Love this! Im not interested in eating food that sits for days but for quick, healthy and tasty meals, these cant be beat! ♥
LOVED The turkey patties, the peppers, and for sure the salad dressing!
Josh, for the love of whatever you find holly, please make more meal prep content like this one. I always found my self working 3 hours in a kitchen doing this, and I'm feeling incredibly stupid for never thinking on using a Sous Vide to make my life easy. Also I'm awaiting on you next book, I'm almost done making all the recipes in the first one
Sadly this is definitely still a 3 hour process, I wish he would be more honest about it.
@@prestonfeivor5488 he's a professional chef my guy, he said in the video that this time is for him, might take others a bit longer
@@sirblacksmith2297 wait really? I didn’t know that thanks! First off, he didn’t include the time for prepping and bagging the proteins for some reason? Also have to fill up and heat that sous vide water. Also grilling takes a while to setup. Just the fact that he never includes measuring out ingredients or anything like that or any cleanup, skips a lot or prep and mise en place.
@@sirblacksmith2297 Also, he probably has a better kitchen setup than most. In my case I don't have a dishwasher so whenever I cook this is a fact I always have to consider when deciding how ambitious I want to be.
Dont hold yourself to this standard... You couldnt do this in only one hour without having things prepped. Its unfair hes making it out like you could
PLEASE do more meal prep stuff like this.
I made everything you did here and it's outstanding!!
how do you store it for the week without it going bad or soggy
@@afkoptk You can have chicken in the fridge for up to 3 days, and freeze the rest. Eggs won't be as good unless they're fresh, tbh.
I don’t even like salmon but it looks so good lol
How long did it take you?
@@MindyTunnell So what's not taken into account in the video is prep time for the ingredients. I did this all within 2 hours.
This is my favorite video of yours to date. This is so helpful and insightful, not to mention the editing makes it hysterical to watch lol. Great job! Would love more content around this. Not to pressure you in any way, I'm wondering if you have any suggestions on meal prep for those that are trying to reduce waste and plastic usage overall. I've been trying to balance being good to my body while trying to be kind to the planet. And it's hard to walk that tight rope when I'm not used to it.
2:15 Yes, because everyone that is one a budget have a sous vide setup just hanging around
You can still sous vi with a pot of water and a thermometer.
A cheap and decent machine costs ~$50 and large freezer ziplock bags work fine for cooking meat. If you regularly use it and live in a first world country then it's a pretty negligable expenditure.
Loooove this! As someone who is constantly trying to make my favorite meals healthier, I'd love to see a "but healthier" series 🙏 if anyone can make food delicious and healthy, it's Josh.
I would LOVE a "but healthier" series!! I have been trying to get my health under control and meal planning and prepping is my downfall. This video was fantastic and so so helpful! I truly hope that he posts more of them.
Yes please!
PLEASEEEEE
I second this great idea. Joshua please show us the wae of helth
Absolutely! I get into a rut because it's a lot of same old same old. I only know how to make so much stuff healthy LOL so there's a lot of redundancy in my menu. This would be awesome!
Was waiting for this a long time
very nice
Hi
Nice 👍👍
i like it
Nice
This is extremely helpful. My dad is trying to lose weight and the only food. I really know how to cook is fat food so learning from you and watching you make healthy meal preps is really helpful thank you.😊
Please make a series of this!! Each week and we all can follow the journey together 🙏❤️
ok
i do mealprep since 8 years and let me tell you - this is impossible to do in 1hour for a beginner. AND don't forget the whole mess which you need to clean up in between! I Love this video since it gives excellent inspiration - but you should include some realistic advice like:
- start with two simple different meals from which one needs no cooking at all and a simple not prepped breakfast.
- those two meals are not calculated in any way - it's just food you like and meant to get you into it, start easy. You can calcualte everything through next time you do it
- cook 6-10meals and DO NOT eat anything else or let anybody else eat it :D
- always take taste as a priority. ALWAYS. You won't keep on doing it if it's "just healhy"
Advice for later on:
- keep a small book in which you note down your calculated meals so you wont need to do it over and over...
- rice cooker is nice - but if you don't have one look up how to properly cook rice (tastes better and is easier)
- in tough times (examphase, stress on workplace...) prioritise on "soul-food" but calculated meals - you wont get fat no worries and this is way better than just throwing the "too healthy" ones away and go for fastfood.
- always plan where you'r going to eat the meals, some places have no microwaves so better prep something you enjoy to eat cold, too. :)
- don't believe that those hollywood-bodybuilders gain all the mass through food&dedication. Yes - they put hard work into workout&food, but most of them are "big" due to drugs. You will not get as big as them.
Advice for later later on:
- keep a list in which you note down how much of something you need to be satisfied. For exmaple thats 70g rice or 95g Spaghetti or 100g chicken for me. It's way easier to calculate your meals through if you know a few numbers already.
- prep some "smal meals" and some "bigger meals" for workout days. This way you wont starve on workout days (which ultimately leads to you eating stuff you didn't wanted to).
- leave a small amount of calories for a chocolate bar or something similar - you'll love it
I hope you enjoy mealprep as much as i do, it's easy and convenient. :)
Since this seems to be beginner support on meal prep/get fit , i would like to give my 2 cents(1i don’t do bodybuilding but trying to have diet and food expenses under control)
-Biggest worry I have about the video as a beginner guide is Josh was doing everything at once. He is professional and fast meaning he is used to muti-task in kitchen and could catch up things with speed. lean food however is very sensitive to time. So better do thing one by one mise en place first then do the meat that unless you know what you’re doing. A good time to beat would be 90mins give or take. And obviously don’t use a grill if you’re not handy with it.
I think buying a rice cooker is a good idea if someone is meal preping. Cooking rice on stove take too much “stovetop time” A rice cooker take out the guesswork and leave a stove empty. Can be used for steaming thing too.but im asian i probably biased
-chicken thighs are great option for most ppl. Skinless chicken thigh is not that much fattier than breast but they can withstand excessive heat or ever “overcook”.so if someone isn’t very good with chef mic or try not to get a meal cold inside, just crank up the heat, the chicken thigh will still taste juicy not flavored chalk. Salmon on the other hand not a great choice for reheat so leave it at home
Brine your chicken. That shit works. I do 1.5% because i like to but 1% probably fine for most people. Go for ethan video for more chicken breast food science.
Looks like you have a great experience it this. :) I don't see any details about food storage. Would it still be juicy and after fresh after 5-6 days in such containers as on video? Or should some vacuum containers should be used? Thank you!
Ok
@@andrewcheng1998 Absolutely agree, just don't use chicken breast unless you are _desperate_ to eliminate all possible fats (which most people don't actually need to). Breast is so dry that if you overcook by 30 seconds it's already a disaster, plus it just doesn't taste good unless heavily marinated/spiced. Not to mention that if you have to re-heat the meal later on it levels up to a catastrophe at that point.
Thighs are great even with nothing but salt & pepper and a little oil, though personally I really like to cook them in mayo (as Ethan suggests) and/or, in fact, mustard, for some additional flavour. And you can basically overcook them for quite a long time without any serious adverse consequence.
thank you for the help
I watch your stuff through discovering you from TMG and also my obsession with cooking shows etc. but this content also appeals to my fitness and nutrition obsession so I would LOVE more meal planning content like this
You should definitely do a re-heat guide/taste test. I know by Thursday whatever meal had rice included would not be edible unless you heat it up a certain way.
Update me if there are solutions because it’s one thing that I worry about it meal prep.
Best thing to do for rice is add a little water into it and reheat. It brings the moisture back and makes it edible again
damp paper towel on top before microwaving will help a lot of things from drying out esp rice
@@twentyonetortas5921 damp paper towel on top of rice when you’re microwaving!
Keep a carton of broth (chicken, beef, veggie, whatever fits your diet/needs) in the fridge and pour some into the rice for reheating. Not only adds some extra flavor, but keeps it from drying out. Super healthy too! :)
I really hope josh does a series on this . I would watch and make all of them.
I heard a lot about investing with Mrs. Allison Parker and how good she is, please how safe are the profit?
@@KristinaBolton People have literally been parroting that for 60 years... except for DC of course. Also, stfu.
I'm a long time investor, withdraw my profit of over £ 56,000 during the covid 19 pandemic
Same here, I will praise Mrs. Allison Parker over and over again because she has great skills, I started with $2000 and after 2week I received a returns of $6,000 then I continue with her ever since she has been delivering..
how can I reach out to Mrs. Allison Parker ? I urgently need her management on my INVESTMENTS!.
Gimley and Legolas as always is a brilliant duo either they sharing their meal prep secrets or destroying orc hordes. Thank you guys for saving the middle earth and this video
For those of us without a sous vide setup, my tried-and-true method for baking and storing chicken breast so it stays juicy all week:
-preheat oven to 450
-give chicken breasts a light brush with oil
-COMPLETELY coat in a spice rub of your choice. 100% coverage!
-TIP: paprika can help extend a potent spice blend to get that coverage
-cooking times vary by chicken weight & your oven, use a thermometer. but generally we're talking 15-20min
-flip halfway through
-cover immediately after removing from the oven, for 10-15min
If you're eating right away, slice across the grain and serve. Otherwise, transfer the whole breasts to a ziploc freezer bag, and toss in the fridge once they've cooled.
📸 screen shot for future reference
Brining helps. What I do is get a stainless pan ripping hot, brown the chicken on the stove top, toss it in. 400+ degree oven, flip when it's not translucent, continue cooking till 155 internal
I plunged Ziplock bags into a pasta pot and monitored the temperature along the way. It worked very well.
Goat
Thanks mate, I usually do a raw meal prep, ie; chicken meets tupperware and they go on a date with some other stuff in the freezer until ready I'm ready to cook, it drives me mad to encounter a few day old dry old cardboard of precooked chicken in the fridge.
So I'll try this method for sure, thank you!
I would have liked to see how you would be storing these and heating them up still expecting them to be nice after even a few days in the fridge. Videos like these helps me with making meals for 12 hour shifts but also still having a good healthy meal at home before or after. A series on this would be great!
Check out Ethan Chlebowski, he did a longer video or two on healthy meal prep that's more focused on meals that still taste good as they're reheated throughout the week
Eat it all cold.

Some more of these quick meal prep ideas would be awesome
This would take me at least a full day to accomplish!! Because it would include getting groceries, and figuring out work-arounds for not having any equipment besides pots and pans. However, you inspire me to try it.
For a budget friendly option, instead of tossing the salad all at once on prep day, you can get those small plastic ramekins at your grocery store for like $2 for 30 or so. Nothing worse than a limp salad and still budget friendly to store your dressing. Just equal portion your dressing you've made over the amount of days you were going to have the salad and your macros should remain consisten.
I just came here to say this. Excellent comment. I saw the dressed greens and was like "that's not gonna make it 7 days" LOL
@@TheJadedView I have trouble trusting my work fridge for half a day, let alone a full week. I might understand why everyone wants things prepackaged, less environmental friendly, but also less risk of someone messing with your things.
Right? Dressed salad and toasted bread are gonna suck after day 1.
@@TheJadedView they also make reusable versions of those mini ramekins! I have a set of metal ones and they even come with lids, perfect for sauces & dips 😄
This is extremely helpful, would love to do this once I leave college. However, I think a good idea would be to make a version of this for those with a minimal kitchen setup, by minimal I mean barebones. In my case all I have is an air fryer and an Instant pot 😅.
air fryer and instant pot is all you need. So many good meals can come from this set-up alone! 😄
Just get a hot plate and you can at least use pots and pans.
I think he already did a video about simpler college appropriate meals a while back if you want to check! It's not meal prep, but it can be a start!
Juicy chicken breast in an air fryer takes 20 minutes or less @ 400F
I agree, sous vide, grill, frying pan, etc is easily easy more than 60 minutes just for set up and clean up alone!
From now on i love your recipe, thank you for tutorials
💪🍴🌿 Wow, I'm impressed by your commitment to getting shredded with meal prep! It's not always easy to find healthy meals that taste good and are budget-friendly, but it looks like you've got it down. Your one-hour meal prep for the week is a game-changer, and I'm sure your body will thank you for it. Thanks for sharing your tips and recipes for cheap and healthy meals, and for inspiring us all to take charge of our health and wellness. Keep up the amazing work! 👍
I am not nearly as organized in the kitchen to get this done in an hour, but this definitely seems doable for a Saturday afternoon! Looking forward to seeing more of these!
Absolutely- the prep time before all this is a lot more than 60m!
It’s a starting point! Do it enough and you can get closer to the 60min mark with practice.
This would actually be a great episode for cooking show. A show or serious showing how you can be more organized for more efficient cooking.
This would make an awesome series, my only concern is that for something like this I would include a grocery list. Cheaper alternatives for certain ingredients, or alternatives for people who don't have kitchen gadgets like a sous vide would also be nice
I’m literally in these comments looking for one
Yeah I am a college student who lives with their parents and we dont even have one....
%100
I do include ingredients of healthy easy and fast recipes in my channel, check it out
yess!!!! there were so many little details that he could have addressed, such as you don't dress the salad because it will be soggy by the time you eat it, you put the dressing on the side. You have to let the proteins cool all the way before placing them on top of the lettuce because... you guessed it! they will get soggy. Plus all his mise en place was pre-measured, that takes time!!!
… please explain to me the science behind putting a dressing on a salad and meal prepping it 🤔 won’t the lettuce be soggy and wilted? Seems better to keep the dressing on the side until use lol
I love how he does the *whispers* I’ve never seen a cooking channel so fun to watch ! ❤ new subscriber ! 😊
Looks good Josh - the only thing I would not do is dress the salad so early in the week. By the 5th day, I really don't like the texture. But everything else can be ready so it takes 30 seconds to complete a meal. Sounds good to me.
Looking forwards to more healthy prep as my health meals are boring.
Yeah the minute I saw that he was making dressed salad for seven days ahead of time I figured he’s never actually tried to save a dressed salad for seven days. It doesn’t work!
@@GeekFilterNet Same goes for the rice - which shouldn't be stored more than 24 hours to avoid food poisening.
@@LadyAtia Rice is fine for more then 24 hours. Just need to cool it quickly before storing.
@@jasonscheffler9813 Anecdotally, yes it's fine. In terms of potential bacterial growth and toxin production, food standards advice across the board says not to keep beyond 24 hours. That said, you, I, and most other people have plenty of experience eating rice stored past 24 hours. But the risk is there, just putting that out there for folks.
@@LadyAtia Do you mean in the fridge....? Fridge rice will be hella dried out after a day but should be fine to eat. I'd recommend freezing rice if meal prepping for the week to avoid sad rice.
As a man struggling through his own weight loss journey, thank you Joshua.
You can do it! 💖
The video is great, but man, you have kitchen tools that tell me one thing: if i could afford them, i wouldn't need to look for "cheaps meals"
Wow, your videos are so good it's difficult to stop watching them 😅
$400 per month for one person is insanely high!!! My husband and I eat very well on only $300/month for a family of 4. It’s only cheap compared to going out to eat every day. “Cheap” is a relative term based on your income and how driven you are to make sacrifices and to be creative. We’ve never been able to afford salmon. I loved the video. Looks delicious and well made.
what sort of food are you and your family eating though? the nutrient needs of a family vs someone who’s working out is pretty different.
“Very well” must also be a relative term.
I have to agree, this being for one person is a lot, I'm alone... Don't even have to worry about feeding anyone else and I do workout so I try to intake a lot of protein. But my protein choices are usually chicken of some kind, ground turkey, pork - I don't often purchase seafood, heck I got 2 frozen cod filets for $15!! I was like what?! But it was for a special thing. But being that you're a family person and I just try to be frugal, we probably both shop at stores that sell things in family packs haha :) My weekly meals would probably be different variations of chicken, I also do a lot of soups and stews, I made chile verde just yesterday and plumped it up by adding in cut up potatoes, it should last me a few days, at my store the pork cut was only like $7, that's $2 per day for food vs per meal. Also made it in the instant pot, tossed it in and let it go haha!
@@DC-pp8xf lots of foods are cheap and tasty like chicken and most vegetables. You can eat well on a budget if you're a good cook.
Your family is lucky to have you, you must be a great cook!
Oooh, just what I needed. Please make this a series for the year.
I second this!
"but healthy"
@@nightstandcobut healthy isn’t a meal prep series. I want specifically the meal plans that take under a hour that happen to be healthy.
Very beautifully presented and inspiring
Appreciate the effort put into this video, thank you!
I think this would be a great series to add, especially if you are trying to get shredded. It would be a good way to stay motivated and to keep you on track of eating well! So if youre looking for another series to create, for sure add this
YES! We LOVE your "But Healthier" series! My husband and I are inspired, have typed everything up, and we are joining you on your journey. Thank you!
This is AWESOME and I’m so ready for part 2! Also substituted the chicken and pork for pan fried tofu. Would love to see how you use tofu in a future meal prep video!
Love this! Im not interested in eating food that sits for days but for quick, healthy and tasty meals, these cant be beat!
Absolutely love this. More please!
To note: I made this yesterday, skipped the skewers and just did the breaky. But with prep/cooking and clean up it took me a good 3 hours to get this all done.
Everything is delicious though! Now that I’ve done it once, maybe I’ll be faster next time… but there are a LOT of dishes and appliances needed for this.
Please update with how everything held up in the fridge by the end of the week
@@maschmidt1495 I personally prep twice a week, i'm fussy with things like that, wouldn't fancy eating any of that on day 7 myself lol
Take us with you on this journey! A Josh and Nour series sounds fun.
Some fabulous tips! Thanks for sharing 😊
I was going to pass this up for some different content, but your videos are so fun! I laugh AND learn something new every time.
I made the breakfast meal and it's so freaking good. I did a deconstructed meal prep where I keep the different parts of the meal in separate containers for max freshness and build it the morning of. The turkey sausage is the best part. I did sub rice for the bread for certain days and did fried eggs on other for variety.
How do you keep em fresh? Do you freeze anything? Or it stays fine in the fridge
@@malifair7357 it's funny you mention this. i spoke to my mom on the phone and she told me to freeze the sausage for the week to keep it fresh. I just microwaved the frozen sausage and it tasted the same as the refrigerated kind. Also, if I didn't manage to eat every days sausage patty, it would most likely stay fresh in the freezer for about a month.
I'm glad you like healthy food 😋 that's great, checkout my channel for more delicious healthy recipes.
Bless you all
For the jammy eggs, do you reheat them? And if so, does it change the texture and lose the “jamminess”? That’s my biggest concern. I really want to try the breakfast one!!!
I have high hopes on this becoming a serie!! I will humbly give you my tip for meal prepping, i bake (until i get lots of dark spots) most of my veggies, so, if i will prepare rice for example, the base will be baked onions and peppers instead of fried, and trust me is waaaaay more tasty!! Same with the "one pot" sort of meals, most of my veggies would be baked before hand, including the garlic.. thats good stuff 🤤
Oh!! And i replace mayo with spiced yogurt, i swear its soooo goooood!!!! Whenever i would use mayo i use yogurt with different spices and that makes a great replacement and every time it can be different.. hope you like them and we get to see more of this videos! 🐽
this is not very realistic to do under 1 hour because most of us don't have the equipment or the knife skills but the sauce and assembly of rice bowls ideas are always welcome - i will be trying some of these
This is the most legitament video i seen on cooking on a budget from you because this includes ALL of the ingredients used and not in serving sizes.
Please, do more of this. This is a great series :) and content.
Can we just appreciate the rice heart at 3:02 ? I can’t tell for sure if it’s intentional, but at this moment, Josh had become a master of youtube and he just makes food videos at another level
I NOTICED TOO. I REWOUND A FEW TIMES TO MAKE SURE
I went to the comments to make sure I wasn't the only one who saw it
I came here just for the comments about the heart!
saw it! thank you for mentioning it
Came to the comments just to be sure. I knew Papa made it into a heart just for us 🥰
Healthy living is a vital part of life! Loving the balances 🤩
OMGGG!! Thank you so so much for making this video!! I wanna get back into healthy eating but I freaking love food and want eat still bomb food but knowing I’m treating my body well. So thank you for this
I’ve made these breakfast sandos all WEEK and my WORD!! I really hope this becomes a series because I can’t believe ground turkey tastes this good.
Love those breakfast sandies. Try them on a bagel sometime. Delish 👌
This is great and all but my main concern for meal prep is usually their storage. How do you make sure they don't go off and stay juicy and stuff for a week? Not to mention reheating.
Same here! My cherry tomatoes get wrinkly after 3 days in the fridge, no way they would make it through the week, and meat from the supermarket usually has an expiry date of
Yams more of this pleaseee, I heave been doing meal prep for a while but I am getting bored and need new recipes!
Do this easy meal prep anyone can do. All you need is : fancy water cooking thingy. A rice cooker and a vacuum pack thingy.
Yeah as good as the ideas are, this isn't what I was expecting at all
Meal prep aside, highly recommend the vacuum sealer and rice cooker. Those two pair so well together and they’re relatively cheap (rice cooker is around $20, and vacuum sealer under $50). Most of my meals consist of meats I’ve vacuum sealed from value packs and 1/2 a cup of steamed white rice 😂
Yeah!!! I've been wanting to see Josh's take on HEALTHY meals.
This is my first time watching you on UA-cam and I’m so glad I watched this video! I need to start doing some meal prep but you’re so right that it’s usually soooooo boring and hard to enjoy. This was great inspiration for that, great recipes, great ideas, and thanks for being realistic about time, price, and flavor.
Yes!! Thank you!!
Awesome job Josh for prioritizing your health and helping others on the way 🔥
as a broke college student i really appreciate this type of content. i’ve been enjoying learning how to cook too! also personally, i don’t really like to meal prep full meals because i find they just aren’t as good by the end of the week. i also share a fridge so there’s not much room for all of that lol. but i like to prep things like veggies and rice ahead of time if i can.
You can also add Quinoa to your fridge to compensate for the lack of protein. Dried Mushrooms help too!
Love this content! Great video all around!
From now on i like your recipe, thank you for tutorials
Josh, You got me started on Sourdough, and I subscribed. Saw this one today and love it, but have 2 comments. 1) brown rice in the rice cooker comes out light and fluffy for me! And no glucose spikes! Also, most excellent tip I've ever received in my life: either put your eggs in a steamer, or do them in the pressure cooker, and you'll have the most delightful peel ever! The shells fall off the egg without all that annoying picking at it. :-) Oh, I'll throw in another one of my favorite kitchen hacks that has nothing to do with this vides, but just because it's so awesome: keep a huge knob of ginger in your freezer--it lasts forever. And whenever a recipe calls for a few slices or chopped or whatever kind of ginger, just use a microplaner and shave a little pile of the frozen ginger. Takes 8 seconds. Life is good. 🙂
I love the quick summary best the end that breaks down the time, calories and dollars per meal/week. That's the info people care about!
It’s the comedy for me! ❤️❤️❤️😆🤣😁 this kept my attention and I was both thoroughly informed AND entertained.
perfect video, only 11 minutes, tons of affordable meal ideals. best of yt right here broh!
This is so helpful. I followed recently upon discovering the channel mostly for the but better and but cheaper but I recently started to want to meal prep and get into better shape and this is every bit of inspiration that I need to keep it up!
I just made these! Breakfast sandwich is SOO good and filling. I LOVE that these videos helped me focus on a few dishes (instead of too many which I tend to do) made extra tasty and healthy. I messed up the eggs since I put 10 straight from fridge to pot. They were barely softboiled. Was able to save them with a light cook in a pan, but will try again with fewer eggs next time.
Absolutely love this!! x
I needed this one
Yesss we need more meal prep vids!!! I’ve been needing things like this to help me with my meal prep
Thank you for this Josh. Cooking healthier meals to hit a macro/caloric goal can be some of the most fun I have in the kitchen as it forces me to get creative, but it's easy to run out of ideas and hit a rut. Would love more ideas in the future and good luck hitting your goals!
This is great and it's definitely going to help my husband and I with our planning! Thanks for putting this up, Joshua👍
Hey Josh, really like this new format, hope you do it a few times! It convinced me to get a thermocirculator shenanigans. I love doing your advanced recipe that take hours to do (especially the breads) but these will be great for week nights. Keep it up man!
Wow i love these, literally genius
I love this. I want more!!
Love it man! I’m the head chef at home and I needed a way to spend less time in the kitchen and spend more time with my fam and on the things I need to get done. Good luck on your journey! 6 months 💪💪
Make this a series, this is amazing, this could legit be another cook book for you
Thankyou for sharing and may god bless you
I love cooking! & enjoy ur channel! It’s not complex and you explain everything to a tee! I’ve been wanting to meal prep but didn’t know what I should prep. This helps a lot. I’d rather make Spanish rice/ cilantro rice tho. I’m such a foodie and love lots of flavvvaa. Food is my weak points. Lmao anywho- dope channel. I appreciate it.
the sous vide is actually... pure genius. wow. the NOW IS IT BRUV?! caught me off guard 😂😂
but here's the big question: how do you keep all this food fresh/not spoiling before the end of the week? and how do you reheat it in a way to not ruin it?
I just would like to know that as well. I just can't imagine eating food that's (nearly) a week old and that is keeping me off meal prepping sadly
Put it in the Fridge and you reheat it with either a microwave, an oven or a pan (depending on what it is). It wont taste as good as cooked fresh but its fine
@@vaiocrash4307 None of that is gonna go bad in a week in the fridge. People are just scared of leftovers after like 2 days for no reason
I was worried about that. I can't eat food after 4 days max, but I'd still use the recipes though.
@@vaiocrash4307 Most food don't go bad that fast as long as it's properly closed
I love this healthy meal segment. I'm huge on the gym and from time to time I macro track to get back on track and seeing what options you make is really inspiring.
Thank you for sharing!
Really love the thought behind this.
