I love these ideas! Last year I was a junior and I was on/ am on a weight loss journey. I lost 40 lbs the healthy way (exercising and eating smart) and I mostly did it through meal prep! Every Sunday I would prep my breakfasts for school. I would make muffins(healthy with oat flour; typically pumpkin :)), hard boiled eggs, and I would bring an orange and some almonds :) I would take leftovers from dinner for lunch at school, and I would have small meals through the day. It really shows that you don't need to have a huge meal prep, but that even just making one meal can put you on the road for success :)
You don't know me absolutely! A little goes a long way! Congrats on your awesome success so far! That's fantastic and you should be so proud!!! :)
In my case I plan to start make breakfasts like overnight oats or boiled eggs or breakfast muffins etc for my friend but he gets to work over 30min before I do so I gotta plan it accordingly where it's prepped or made the day before and put in the fridge when I get there til he eats it the next morning. These vids are super useful.
wow, that's inspired me to start and eat more healthy. it all looks amazing!
+Daniel Dotlinger awesome, I'm so glad you found it helpful and inspiring! :) thanks!
You make this look simple! And I'm sure it is once I actually try it. Love all the recipes! Can't wait to try. 😄
I love the idea of a more relaxed style of weekly meal prep. Thanks Alyssia 😁
My pleasure :) So glad this prep can be useful for you!
I love love the quality of your vids!!! It just shows how much you love your work and you does not half-assed your job as youtubers. Keep up the good work! Pretty sure you'll gain more subscribers later on.
Gracie C. Thank you! That really means the world. I am so very passionate about this and you watching and leaving your kind comment makes all the work worth it! Much love
she's so pretty. she's encouraging. I love to meal prep
melissa salisbury
it does. I love making home made tv dinners. and smoothie bags..
Does it happens something if I use a plastic topper to save the veggies instead of a Mason jar?
+Itzia Ramos no plastic is fine :)
The meatloaf muffins, I forgot to say
Omg need that veggie cutter in my life😩😍😍🙏...fab video as usual...thanks
Rayhanna bella YES!! thanks so much for watching! Veggie cutter is linked in the description- it's seriously a life saver!!
+Rayhanna bella It's a great tool, really makes cutting veggies easy, especially those pesky onions. You don't even have time to cry :)
Who else thought that the smoothie bags were genius. I always have to run around to find the perfect smoothie ingredients.
Inshirah Sulthana thank you! They make my mornings so quick! :)
hummus jars were my fav! that is the perfect way to portion, definitely doing that!
you make me want to go and do some mason jar shopping now XD;;
Lol! I love mason jars 😍
I'm totally going out tomorrow for it lol thanks for sharing your techniques!
i just stumbled upon your channel while looking for "foodsaver recipes" u should get one to vacuum seal all the jars u make =)
ttc
in love with your mason jars! your fridge must look so organized lol
More meal prep please!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
YoShiCrazii Definitely! Thank you! :)
I meal prep for a living (personal chef) if anyone has questions about getting started in the profession!
Love this!!!! You're so good at your salt and pepper yin yang. I especially love the hummus veggie jars!
curzy4coupons thank you!!! Yes those veggie jars make me actually eat some vegetables as a snack lol!
How do you make the yin and yang out of salt and pepper? It's so cool
Diana Lee lol! It's a little meticulous... I use a toothpick! :)
The background music is very inspiring and makes me want to "prep"! You should sell prep/storing music cd. It really gets me groovin! Thanks for the tips!
How long do you fine the vegetables will last cut up and in jars?
+Cassie Mckee I'd like to know the shelf time for most this stuff actually I've found I can't prep fruits more than a day or so in advance or they get all slimy :/ guess it's time to google since I'm meal planning to save money no buying ebooks for me haha.
i bought the foodsaver v4800 @costco today for this exact reason.
I was curious about this too and bought 3 glass jars with metal lids you can screw on (they can be used to make preservatives as well) to compare to the plastic bags/boxes I normally use; plastic makes veggies and fruits soft and soggy within a day, maybe two, whereas I have some bell peppers leftover in the glass jars that I sliced a week ago (last Saturday) and they're still firm and crisp! Definitely makes a difference.
Thank you so much for the great content. I have been using mason jars for a long time but this video drove me to order a jar funnel and a chopper thing that was in the beginning. Thanks again!
+Gold Arrow Fitness 😊 awesome! Thank you so much!!
you waste so much strawberry by cutting the green part this way :(
Thanks!! Answer this: when will you make a coconut sugar series
I heard its bad to cut fruit and vegetables and not eat them right away, because all the vitamins dissapear or something like that. Is it true?
I doubt that. How would that happen, the air sucks it out? That's a peculiar thing I never heard that before! I'm sure it is okay 😁
I'm 12 y/o and very fit but meal prep sounds like a very healthy life style! Id like to start small and just meal prep lunches for the weekend. (I'm also a girl) Do you think I should?! I do love to cook😀
+Hayley Williams Yeah! Meal prep can help anyone stay on track. If you enjoy cooking, you'd probably have fun preparing the meals for the week :)
great video.. save the broccoli stems.. allot of nutrients.. you can use them in chili , stews, fried rice.
great tip!
Just came across your channel from Fablunch & I absolutely love you! Keep up the great work. The work you put into your videos is clear and appreciated :)
GREAT video! So thorough and versatile! Thank you for all your hard work!
Great video! PLEASE sharpen your knife!!!! It is dangerously dull!!!
I LOVE this! Can you make more like this? Please? :-)
Jenny L Yes! I will definitely do more :) I might even do a series (shhh...) :) Until then I do have a previous video similar to this if you're interested ua-cam.com/video/kX6hHWkxLV0/v-deo.html Cheers!
Thank you for the great ideas! The music is awesome btw.
+Samuel Son thanks!!!
Also do you have any other recipes for things to pair with veggies other than hummus? Would love to hear any suggestions you have!
Watching this video in 2018... LOL the silly bands hahaha
salt and peppers were in ying yang symbols!
+Alley Peplinski yeah!! Thanks for noticing :)
i have never seen this veggie cutter, i will look for it ! Looove from Brazil s2
is it just me or does she sound really depressed in this video? she always sounds so up beat..
Thank you so much! this is so helpful!
Great video and awesome ideas:)
homemade recipes thank you!
how do you all keep your mason jars from rusting?
if not Tupperware it's mason jars! americans, sweet peeps.
Seeing this was so satisfying
Thank you :)
I just LOVE how easy you make it! I definitely don't have time for complicated!!! I can't wait to start meal prepping for the hubby and I, oh and yes he will be helping, LOL!!! I've wanted to start meal preps for the a while now, but after this video... uhhh...yeah, this SUNDAY for sure!! Thank you for this video!!
+Hilda Carmona My pleasure! I'm glad you're feeling excited about it! Meal prepping seriously makes a huge difference for me each week, even if I just do a little! And ABSOLUTELY get your boy to help! You shouldn't have to do it alone! :) Thank you for watching!!
u cut lots of strawberry along with the leaves
Excellent! This is very much how I do it; the relaxed approach. I don't prep each individual meal ahead of time...(except for maybe half a week's lunches) The recipes looked delicious. Love your use of the mason jars and quick snappy editing. Salt & pepper yin yang, LOL.
***** Absolutely! You have to do what is going to help YOU succeed or there's no point! Thanks so much for watching and always leaving such awesome comments :) The salt & pep yin yang is here to stay!! lol
Alyssia! I love your videos, and love you even more now that I know you're a UF alum! Did you know that UA-cam star GloZell is also a Gator? Maybe you should collab on a video since you're both in LA! GO GATORS! :)
aquajosh GO GATORS!! I didn't know that GloZell was a Gator! It would be AMAZING to collab with her! Maybe when we're a bit bigger lol!
Alyssia, I really want to Congratulate you with your amazing channel and very entertaining video's with very valuable content. I must say you are an example to me. I am also restarting my channel and I will some things I saw. Keep it up and I hope to connect with you. I am also a personal trainer so if I can help you in any way, just send me a pm. Again keep On ROCKING on YT.
All the best
Glenn
+Glenn Ost Hey Glenn! Thanks so much for your kind words and feedback! This channel is my baby so it means the world :) So excited for your own UA-cam journey! It's very gratifying, I'm sure you'll have great opportunities to affect others lives for the better! Cheers!
Love it!! Sorry been out of commission sore throat and cold :(
I will surely do this meal prep next week... This week it's all about teas and soups for me *sigh*!!
Thank you for sharing :)
Aarti Arora Oh no! Hope you're feeling better!!
I love re-watching your video's.. it helps too see, if I missed anything. I did that pro prep I call it, know I just prep as I go. and I'm like you. I don't like eating the same thing for days. I like variety. save the broccoli stalks for soup..
melissa salisbury Thank you! YES! That's the beauty of video, they're always here to come back to :) So glad you find them useful! More meal prep to come!
Is your meal prep book available as ebook only? I'm not a fan of ebooks because I always end up forgetting about them. But I'd buy a hard copy! Love your recipes!!!! Keep them coming!
+Mommy Runs with Scissors Thank you! I wish it was hard copy but unfortunately I can't afford to produce a hardcover book right now, maybe one day! I did design the book to be print friendly though, so many people print it out for themselves :)
I see you've switched to mason jars almost exclusively. Way to go! It looks awesome... I really just want to tuck in! My own meal prep is limited to planning the meals and getting all ingredients, I just chop it when I need it. That works for me :)
Judith van der Leek That's awesome! Yes we all have to find the right prep to suit our own lifestyles and preferences! So glad you've found what works!
Can you do some meal prep videos for 2018? I am always looking for eggless breakfasts that aren't smoothies.
yeah! I have done a few already :)
I've been struggling in my fit life journey (working too much and not focusing on nutrition = miserable) and this really just lit a spark! This is a big help, thank you!
P.S. Where did you get the cute little mason jars that you put the fruit in?
love4realz That's awesome! I am so so glad you're feeling inspired! I got the jars on amazon, they're 4oz size, but I actually got those purple lids at either walmart or target, I can't remember! They have a whole mason jar section with goodies like the funnel and different colored lids and stuff! :)
Question: Is there any chance that your e-book would turn into a hard copy book?
Swan Angel Oh that would be a dream! I hope so! Maybe in the next year... Right now I just can't afford to produce a print book :( BUT being a graphic designer I am a huge fan of paper, so I did design all of my eBooks to be print-friendly :) Cheers!
You guys should seriously have like a million views...BEST recipe channel! Thank you so much for all your hard work and effort into all the videos!
Anberlinos Mal :) Thank YOU for your support and watching the videos! We are so happy to share this content and connect with you on the channel!!
+Mind Over Munch
Great video! It's very informative and helps a great deal to keep me focused on my journey! Do you, by chance, have a recipe or a video on how you made your shashimi? I've been dying to try it out!
1carissa6 Thank you!! I LOVE sashimi! The great thing about it, though, is it doesn't really need a recipe! The sashimi itself is the uncooked fish- salmon and yellowfin tuna are great choices! Buy good quality for the best sashimi. Slice your fish into pieces, and you can drizzle with a little olive oil, soy sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds if you'd like! It's delicious and doesn't need much :) Cheers!
I need to get some mason jars! I'm trying the turkey meatloaf balls tomorrow :) Also, the aesthetic quality of this video was fantastic! Kudos to you and Christian.
Thank you so much!! You can store on regular plastic storage containers too, I just think the mason jars are so dang cute :) I hope you enjoy the meatloaf muffins!!! 💜
I loved this!! It would be fantastic if u could do this for a paleo lifestyle. Pleeeez....thanks in advance!!!
+MzLisaD1 thanks for the suggestion :) Glad you enjoyed!
Hello! Im your big fan from Russia. Could you please answer me what brand is your machine? Its so good. Thank you
Regina Bo hello! Thanks so much! Which machine? The veggie chopper is linked in the description :) Cheers!
I so love your meal prep videos! I'm very happy there was such a good response to them, that your doing more. I want to eat healthly and I am trying to change my lifestyle to be healthier and make healthier choices. But like most people I either don't exactly know how to incorporate good foods to make them taste good or lack creativity especially in coming up with them. So your book will be a great tool for me as well as your meal prep videos. I really love that you take typically getting foods and remake are well. So keep on do'in what your do'in... I personally love it! Thanks😀
HappyHomeHappyWife thank you so much! I am so so glad you're finding the videos useful! I really think the book will help too :) I will absolutely keep making the content, I appreciate you being excited about it! Much love
Quick question: Why didn't you put the salmon in the canning jars like all the other prep'd foods?
it was harder to store the pieces in jars, you can of course store however you prefer :)
Love this meal prep,so much better then eating the same old thing everyday,it really sets you up for failure when you have no excitement going on with your taste buds I was definately loving the food choices you had to, you had a real nice variety of everything,can't wait to try this!Funny how a container can make food more appealing,nice trick!
+Jackie Rosario totally! I like to switch it up so having these basics available helps keep me on track :)
You're a rockstar!!! What a great idea on the salmon! And the trail mix?? Uh... Yes, please!
Thank you!! That salmon is so tasty!! A nice way to make protein interesting :) and the trail mix is so good- adding the popcorn helps to add volume without extra fat and calories!! 💜 thank you!
This is cool. I'm assuming this is for one person though. I have a family of 5!!!! That would be a lot of Mason Jars!
+Alexis Postell lol! It definitely would!
Im watching from Sweden and we don't have mason jars so I need to do the shopping on amazon... cause we don't have the same measuring system as you do so i would appreciate if you wrote in the video somewhere when you're containing the food, what size you use to store the prepped food :) Thank you for a great channel!
I have a variety of different mason jars, and I don't really pay attention to which sizes I use for each recipe! I have 4 oz., 8 oz., and 16 oz. jars - but you can really use any size and any kind of storage containers that you have available to contain the food! (it doesn't have to be mason jars) hope this helps! So glad you're enjoying the channel :)
Do the fruit smoothie bags go in the fridge or freezer? And what was that yellow veggie, yellow zucchini?
Monica L freezer :) I just add a bit of milk and sometimes protein powder or nut butter and it's ready to go! The yellow vegetable was yellow summer squash :)
can never ever get over how flawless your videos are! you sand christian are AMAZING!
Lisa Chirayath
How long do the fruits and veggies last? I'd imagine only a few days after being cut 😩😩 answer??
+Graciela Garza I usually prep for 4-5 days at a time and they'll last me that long. I store them differently, some in airtight containers, some with the lids popped off with a splash of water, etc. My Meal Prep eBook does some explaining about how to store/refrigerate/freeze food :) Cheers!
Why do you use jars instead of like a glad plastic thing? Does it keep longer? Also, I just got a food saver, let me know your thoughts on that.
I do use plastic containers in some meal prep episodes! It doesn't matter really, just depends on your preference. I like how the jars look and they fit will in my fridge! I don't personally have a food saver and I haven't ever used one! It looks like a cool kitchen tool, though! :)
Great video! I enjoy your work so much, But girl, I gotta get you a new knife! The struggle is real.
kiwe1008 I KNOW! I HATE THESE KNIVES and they're supposed to be so good! I'm moving Wednesday and leaving those babies behind!! lol
Hello, I'm trying to get into healthy eating so looking at a lot of meal prep stuff.. Does the stuff not start to go off after a few days? For example I don't understand how someone can prep a whole weeks meal without it going off?
+AmyLouiseee12345 Hello! I usually prep for 4-5 days in advance. Some food will last a whole week, but it really depends on what you're cooking. You might find my Meal Prep eBook helpful, as it discusses storage, refrigeration and freezing times, in addition to effective and efficient meal prepping, planning and organization :) mindovermunch.com/ebooks
I love you lol and your channel! Where do you recommend I get mason jars in bulk!?! Thanks!
Hi Cheria! Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoy the channel! I love having you in this community :) There are lots of places to find mason jars, I've ordered mine online in the recent past for a good deal, but I've also found them at Target and Walmart! :)
Popcorn in trail mix?!?! What???? GENIUS!! Love it!
Squisitissima YES! It adds volume without adding extra fat and calories!! :)
So many awesome meal prep ideas that I haven't seen before, that trail mix looks so good!! Awesome ideas :)
LifeWithCass Thank you!! Yeah the trail mix is so tasty! Adding the popcorn ups the volume without extra calories and fat! :)
I take some quinoa and ground turkey and make a filling and make stuffed bell peppers so good sometimes I make mini ones if I just want a light lunch or dinner or snack even
+Alyssa Isenhart Sounds delicious!
You should go vegan, since you have great vegan recipes as it is. It's healthier, great for the environment and more ethical :)
Emily Chan Thanks for your feedback! This channel is here to encourage people to live the healthy lifestyle that works for them! For many that may be vegan :) Cheers!
btw, You can easily cut more of the broccoli end, just peel the sides clean and cut them in smaller pieces, when u cook them they taste really great! :)
+Devil.Babe.Raven Joyce thanks so much for the tip!
I feel like you single handedly have supported the Ball mason jar company :D
Cody Goodrich I love mason jars! They make my meal prepping more fun! :)
Heyy there! im back hahahhaha :) Thanks for this vid. ps. though i havent commented on the vids i missed this past weeks, i had watched all of them tho haha :) have a great day
Marc Domini Awesome! Thank you so much for watching, happy to have you here! :)
Now i feel so unorganized lol your meal preps are awesome!!!! :) im new to your channel & love all your videos
Yvonne Mendoza Thank you!! I do a minimal amount of prep but it sets me up for success for the week! I appreciate you watching! :)
Such great editing, as usual. I loved the salmon, veggie hummus, and mini meatloaf!
***** Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed :) The salmon is so tasty!! :)
You prepare for the week maybe on Sunday and than you put all the container and jars in the fridge or in the freezer?
+LiLa LaSchnee I usually prep for 4-5 days at a time, if I can cover most of the week days I'm more successful :) I store everything in the fridge, unless it's something I won't eat in time and then I freeze it :) My eBook discusses in detail :) mindovermunch.com/ebooks Cheers!
love your style and success I'm a nutrition major just found you and wow for ever grateful!
Aleka Arredondo Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
awesome video! so simple yet so cute and creative. i really love these videos and your recipes. cant wait to try the chia pudding in your past few videos!
Huda Soliman thank you! I hope you enjoy the chia pudding! :)
Oh my God where do you store all of this? O-O It would take my hours just trying to fit the jars somewhere safe x)
Ambre G. Well this takes up most of the shelf fridge space, but there are also crispers and side compartments :) We seem to have room for this and more :)
i love how to haif pre its make the cooking easy
ghdeer s exaclty! It makes it easier so I don't have to cut everything right when I'm cooking, etc :)
I love meal prepping, it makes it so much easier to eat fruit and veg if it's already chopped.
+Katelyn Marsh I totally agree!!
I love meal prep videos! Have to make the smoothie bags and the veggie and hummus jars :D
JulieAlexandra Yes! The smoothie bags make my morning smoothie so quick and easy!
I've always wondered how do you make your salt and pepper into that shape?? Love ur videos
+Purple Lavender lol, it's a pretty boring 2 minutes with me and a toothpick :) Thank you!
Where do you put the mason jars when their filled? in the fridge or on the side? because wouldnt the food go off on the side
I keep it in the fridge :)
Boo. Food chopper link is not available in Canada. I did buy a similar device.
Oh no, bummer! I'm sorry about that! Glad you found something else at least!
so glad you did another meal prep video, loved your first one so much and it has been a great help! Keep them coming need more meal ideas!
Ryan Dinn Yay! I am so so glad you found it enjoyable! I will be sure to do more :) Thank you!
Where do you get your mason jars? My lids recently rusted on my old ones. I didn't see any carrot and celery prep do you cut those as well?
I get them on Amazon! Target also had them but online is sometimes a bit cheaper!! The carrot snack segment was quick- I just cut them into small stocks! :)
Thanks !! I really want to meal prep.
Gamaliel Hernandez You bet! I hope this helps!
Omg mini mason jars😱 so cutee . Where do you get all if your mason jars
Esmi Lala I got them on amazon!! :) Thanks!
Do the mason jars need to be sterilized each time. And do you replace the lids after each use?
I typically wash my mason jars and lids in the dishwasher! I reuse my lids
Is it weird that your accent is just as appealing as the recipes? Love em both
+smack770 lol!! So funny, I don't know what accent that is but people comment about it!! So glad you enjoy, thank you :)
Where do you buy your salmon from? It looked so fresh and beautiful.
TheBrunetteswin I got mine at Publix in the seafood department (my local grocery store) - it was so good and it was on sale!! :)
Wow, how much does your weekly grocery trip usually cost??
Jojo Harrington It depends. I spend more than the average person because of all the cooking I do for Mind Over Munch. Generally for just me and Christian, we spend about $75 a week :)
Me during this whole video: :-O Eureka!!!
+ShibuHara LOL. love it, thank you!
Well, it is another year...2016 !!! I began browsing through your Mind Over Munch videos from last summer and stumbled upon this one just now.. This one for some reason is my favorite. Walked over 5 miles today and over 10,000 steps n burned 454 cals. I meal prepped for 3 days only this week. I want to buy your ebook soon so I can learn the right ways to prep. How would I go about buying it when I need it?
+Tracy C :) Thank you!! That is fantastic! Congrats on starting the year off so strong! My meal prep eBook is available at mindovermunch.com/ebooks :) Today's meal prep video gives a discount code if you're interested
cheers and thank u again.
