I just wanted to say, I've just discovered your channel and have been binge watching. I've shared it with all my friends on Facebook and in some weight loss groups. You make things seem less stressful. And from one person with a unique voice to another...I think you're voice is awesome. To me, you should be doing voice overs for cartoons and kid shows. You make things fun.
+happytattycatty that's amazing, thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel!!! And thank you for the voice comment, I'm so self conscious about it. I always wanted to do voices as a kid :) Much love! Happy to have you here, welcome to the channel!

Love all of your videos! You deserve so many more subscribers! I would love to see a frozen meal prep. Whole meals you can freeze, and then the best way to cook it when you are ready to eat it. Healthy frozen ready meals xxx
+Amy〈3〈3x :) Thank you very much! That's a great suggestion, I'll add it to the list :) Thanks!
Let’s tackle food storage! Are you more of a plastic storage container or glass container person?
+Mind Over Munch I use both.
+Patricia Rowland me too :)
+Mind Over Munch I would love to use glass jars, but I don't have the storage space for them. I use plastic containers, because they are stackable.
we love Mason jars around here! I find salad stays freshest in a mason jar, and honestly salad is one of those things that if I don't prep it, we don't eat it!
I do prefer plastic if I am going to freeze something as I cleaned up one too many broken glass jars from my deep freeze and don't want to do it again!
+Mind Over Munch I am a mason jar girl all the way!!!
good vid!
I love your videos! I've learned a lot from you. 😄
+heartbrklullaby :) I'm so glad you're learning! Thank you!
Great video!!
I Just Love Your Videos😍😍😍
+sultan ismael thank you!!
Great video! I'll watch more. Just subscribed!
So glad you enjoyed, thank you!! Welcome to the channel :) happy to have you here!
I buy plastic containers due to the price but I always re-use all the glass jars that my food shopping brings home with it (Pasta Sauce, Jelly, Olives) and these give a nice variety to my storage options. I generally soak them in hot water and soap as well as remove the labels!
+Grace A Yeah! I love saving my pasta sauce jars! Great tip :)
thank you..was vr helpful
:) thank you!
such a good inspo👏👏
+camila fashe :) Thank you!

I love your meal preps, I also use mason jars.
+Susan Elliott awesome! Thanks!!
I started following you on Instagram and I am so glad that I saw you also had a UA-cam!!! You have some great common sense ideas. I have started swapping out regular sugar for things like coconut sugar and it only tastes better!
+Ashton Colby Thanks so much!!
I love your meal prep! Keep doing these videos please! :b
+Sara Nascimento I will :) Thanks!
thanks! Your videos have helped me get a bit helthier :)
Video on Meal ideas for pre and post workout please!
+mscocolee Thanks for the suggestion :)
I have kept cooked beans and lentils out for up to 5 or 6 hours and have never gotten sick. I only follow the 2 hour rule for meat and dairy.
+Brittanie Freitas Great suggestion!
Hi
can you do Autoimmune protocol diet meal prep?
thanks
Please make many more meal prep videos! :D
+MissRazorblade17 I will!! Thank you :)
Love ALL of your videos! I'd love to see a meal prep focused on the elimination diet. Essentially no gluten, dairy, soy, corn, beans (except lentils, garbanzo, and chickpea), peanuts, yeast, alcohol, nightshades, sugar, eggs, coffee, chocolate, and caffeine. We begin the diet on Saturday and food prep is a MUST in order for success!
+Jennifer Peterson Thanks for the suggestion, so glad you're enjoying the channel :)
Hey Alyssia! Awesome video as always. I'm just curious about how all the food that you have prepped look like in your fridge. Have you previously shown that in a different video?
+Nur Melissa Khalil I haven't shown my personal meal prep in the fridge, I'll consider adding that next time :) Thanks!
I would love to see meal prep for school lunches (specifically for college students who like to eat healthy). P.S. I have loved the weekly challenges this month! The no sugar challenge helped me see just how much sugar I was eating!
+Georgina Ishak thanks for the suggestion! Yay! So glad you enjoyed the #nosugarchallenge!!!
Cheers for the video content! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you thought about - Diyhloern Phrenic Dominion (do a google search)? It is a good one off product for preparing you and your family for any crisis without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend finally got great results with it.
I need to go purchase your Ebook Asap lol! Where can you buy mason jars?
+Jasmine Davie Thank you! I buy my mason jars online through amazon or target :) The code is still active for the eBook!
I love Meal Prep Mondays! I would love to see a more involved meal prep such as prepping full meals for the week. Also, any meal prep tips and tricks for us single folks.
+Ashley Cavell Great! Check out my other meal prep videos if you can :) Thanks for the suggestions :) ua-cam.com/play/PLt2c0hX1aB8pDTXK_Vk10cDza8nx05fp4.html
I love your meal prep videos:))
Also, I'm with ya on the exercise challenge. Trying to fit in a half hour of yoga a day:)
+Cheryl Hock yes!!! #movechallenge! That's fantastic! I've been doing yoga for a few months now and I love it!
How do you reheat cooked prepped food and it's still good? Many things that get reheated especially if already cooked for a couple of days tend to not taste the same or have good moisture or texture.
I'm glad you made this video. I've been wanting to prep my meals throughout the week. As much as I love to cook I can get rather lazy in the afternoon and then dinner becomes a sandwich and whatever I can find to snack on in the fridge. I've tried to follow along with you in January but a viral infection decided that I needed to skip that entire month. Will you be using the hashtag #RedefineHealth all year?
+Christopher Johnson thank you! I hope you're feeling better!!! Yes, I'll continue using the #redefinehealth hashtag :)
i know you said you only prep certain foods but not the whole meal, can you talk more about that? like if you wanted pasta or pizza, what would you prep? and maybe a video on shelf life, what to freeze, how to avoid freezer burn, small tips like that. thanks for the great content! :)
I don't really make pasta or pizza that regularly but I guess if I were going to prep items for them I would make sure veggies are chopped, sauce was made, cheese was grated, pasta can even be made plain and then flavored later on! Cheers
Hi Alyssia, thanks so much for your recipes. I have learnt already a lot about meal prep thanks to your videos and also I bought your e-book. One thing I am still wondering is how do you best reheat your meal? my chicken gets always very dry after one day.. everybody talks about how to meal prep and recipe ideas good but how do you best reheat it? Hope you can help me
+Kimbo I just reheat mine in the microwave- if the chicken isn't dry to begin with then usually it's okay when I reheat, so try to make sure it's very moist when you initially cook it :)
More meal preps!!!!🙂🙂🙂🙂
+joseph mandarino will do!
+Mind Over Munch :)
I find veg lasts better at the top of the fridge.
Also sometimes alot of condensation goes to the bottom and the crisper draw can get water in.
please do a meal prepped for pescatarians!! I have no clue how to cook seafood even tuna in bulk! please help!
+aligtz85 thank you for the suggestion! Here's a few salmon recipes I've done that work well for meal prep :) ua-cam.com/video/nmuSJRSgDfc/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/VJgxpWZOZk4/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/NLrfomk0Inw/v-deo.html
I would love to see if you have any favorite freezer meal recipes! Like most people, I try to bulk cook to save time, and I have some go-to meals, but I would love some new ideas! Thanks!
+Shannon Moody Thanks for the suggestion!!
can u do a back to school meal prep
+Fiona Williams great suggestion, I'll write it down :) Cheers!
Could you possibly do a meal prep with children in mind please, dont know if you have them or not but anything would help thanks :D
+dumblondedanie thank you for the suggestion :)
I like how you stored that chicken in a canning jar. I never thought about that before. I like it because it is glass and tall. It will not take up so much room in the fridge.
+Cooking Lessons for Dad Yeah! I love jars for storage :) And it may be mental but I'm convinced things stay fresher in the glass lol
Thank you Alyssia for the video, i prefer glass container for storage but sometimes i do use plastic one. I would love to see a frozen meal prep if you don't mind it would be a nice addition and the best way to cook it is when you're ready to eat it. ;) love you as always.
+BeBeautifulBeYou Thanks for the suggestion! I appreciate it :)
Could you please please do a meal prep video specifically for students at some point? Thanks for the tips!
+Faith Adogame thanks for the suggestion :) I'll add it to the list!
Thank you! :)
What is the background song u have on? I love meal prepping to it!
+MrsKsKitchen22 It's called let me get you alone, it's from stock music through audio network :)
I wish I was as orginised as you and btw great tips :)
+Mac B Bakes The Cakes :) Thank you!!
I have got to get an instagram. Everyone has one, it seems, and I just sit here like, "huh, look at all these pictures I have that I haven't shared with anybody." :) I wish I could think of a specific meal prep but I honestly loved being surprised by what you choose to share. Great job! Thanks to you and Sara Lynn I started meal prepping a few months ago. I don't really do full meals but I do like having a few things ready to go to make life a bit easier. :)
+Sarah S lol I feel you :) Instagram takes some getting used to but it's nice to have to keep in touch and connect- both with those you know personally and those you don't :) So glad you're enjoying the videos, thank you!! More meal prep to come :)
definitely glass containers. mason jars. i would like to see meal prepping for single person
+tammy lattimore Great suggestion, thanks!
Idk if you've done this already, but a college student (aka affordable and easy lol) weight loss meal prep would be awesome! (:
+MeganIsSoSmiley thanks for the suggestion! Check out some of my budget videos :) ua-cam.com/video/SHHT9wF_-1M/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/0eakLOQ5smY/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/MFUIY9MHDjk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/37F3IxvWiJo/v-deo.html
How about healthy casseroles and one-pot-meal preps? I like making meals that are sort of all-in-one, like contain veggies, protein, grains, etc., but also very healthy, nutritious and yummy! I've made a healthy chicken pot pie with a quinoa crust, a chicken, veggie pasta stir-fry, a turkey-veggie chili, healthy Greek moussaka, etc.
+Anitra A Yeah! Check out my weeknight dinners episode :) I'll get some more casseroles up too. I also have a few one pot pastas :) ua-cam.com/video/flaIXwhjS9w/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/OBR70NyzCrg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/nmuSJRSgDfc/v-deo.html
Thanks so much! I love your videos! I love how you really provide in-depth nutritional value to your videos too!
if you are freezing uncooked meat (chicken and beef) and cooked meat is it a good idea to buy the freezer ziplock bags?
+Alexandria Rojas I usually do! Great suggestion :)
Maybe a video on meal preps that can be frozen. Like soups or smoothies or even sandwiches
+Caitlin Schulz great idea, thanks for the suggestion :)
Would like to buy your meal prep ebook but it keeps saying KICKSTART is a invalid discount code
+2014 missbunny Hmm, it should be working. Shoot me an email at sales@mindovermunch.com if you still cant get it to work and we will get it fixed for you!
More fish food prep please! :)
+CreateOneDay great! Thanks for the suggestion :)
I cooked a bunch of vegetables in the slow cooker for the week. What’s the best way to store them in the refrigerator? I will consume them all within 5 days…
Are the e books hard copies or are they all only digital?
+Jasmine Davie They're all digital right now. One day I hope to be able to produce some hard copies :) I did design the eBooks to be printer friendly, though :)
I didn't realize that was a reason to put raw meat at the bottom. I grew up doing it just in case juice leak or something (easier to clean too if happened).
I love using plastic containers and my fab-lunch containers:) after the kickstart series, will you be doing more what I eat in a day? Just curious:)
+David Turner yes! I love my fablunch containers too!! Yes! A What I Eat In A Day will be coming in February! :)
+Mind Over Munch oh, and also mason jars too, I couldn't live without them! Yay meal prep:)
more easy meal prep
+Sumera Begum will do! Thanks :)
i wish you could translate the ebooks in different languages. I would love to give the ebook to my mom but she only speaks spanish
+alondragonz2009 Thank you for the suggestion :)
will your beginners' guide for meal prep be on an actual paper book???
It's only available as an ebook right now! Maybe one day in the future I'll have some actual paper books! :)
I wish one day you can publish your book in different languages, such as Chinese, so that my mum can read it. A viewer from Hong Kong.
any idea on how to keep herbs fresh as long as possible? I always buy cilantro/parsley but they turn bad so fast! Would love your input on this :)
+1024specialkay Thank you! For tender herbs like cilantro and parsley I usually snip off the ends of the stems and remove any discolored leaves, and then store them in a jar with an inch or so of water in the bottom. I store the jars with plastic wrapped over the top in the fridge!
Mind Over Munch THANK YOU! I will try that trick!
Please do more vegan meal prep please.... It was soooo helpful🙏🙏
+Marissa Gomez ok thanks for the suggestion :)
Hey guys so I boil veggies and store it in a plastic container. But after a day or 2 the container is filled ice and veggies get spoilt. Please do help me out how to store boiled. Veggies. 🤷
Thanks!! Great tips! I have been storing my cubes of sweet potatoes in mason jars and they won't last more than 2 days. Any suggestions?
+Annette Opalka hmmm, how long are you cooking them? Mine usually last around 4 days. Maybe they are being too cooked beforehand or maybe you should consider a shallower dish so they aren't sitting on top of each other so much and weighing the other cubes down :)
+Mind Over Munch yeah I probably cook them too long. It was about 35-40 minutes. On a foil lined cookie sheet single layer
What about beans, rice...etc Can I prep them for the whole week? Where should I store it?
+Richard Aguiar I usually prep beans dishes for 4ish days :) I store them in glass jars or plastic containers
once stored say for example frozen, how would you then prepare and reheat them? would you just take out of the freezer and pop it in the microwave to defrost then on full nuke or what? I'm going to try meal prepping next week so would love to know thank you xx
With most frozen items, I transfer them from the freezer to the fridge about 24 hours before I want to reheat them, so that they can thaw out a bit :) So cool you're going to try meal prepping!!
Mind Over Munch so do you just pop them into the microwave until they are piping hot? Or oven . It would great if you could do a video on how to cook your frozen or refrigerator prepped meals. Thank you an I've subscribed
Mind Over Munch
it is not a great idea to put it from the freezer in the fridge overnight, it is best to take it out in the morning and leeve it out of the fridge, then the best temp and bakteria is less than if you put it from freezer to fridge💋
I once tried to store ham and cheese egg cups that I had baked. The next day or two when I opened up the tupperware they had gone bad. Was this because I stored them when they were hot or should I not try and prep eggs and hard-boiled eggs at all?
+Larissa M I'm not sure what the recipe was, what are egg cups? Cooked eggs usually store well in the fridge and can even be frozen. I wouldn't freeze boiled eggs, but they should last a week or so in the fridge. Maybe the eggs were bad? I usually do let my eggs cool before storing them.
Mind Over Munch I put scrambled egg with bits of ham and shredded cheese, put them in a muffin tin and put it in the oven for about 15-20 minutes. Maybe they were bad I have no idea. Think I'll try storing boiled eggs and let them cool a little. Thanks!
can we have asian meal prep kind of indian if u eat any
I would like to see some Asian or Mexican meal prep.☺
+Christian Craig thanks for the suggestion!
does it matter if you use plastic Tupperware or glass Tupperware/mason jars?
+Nita F It doesn't really matter, I prefer glass but I use both :)
thumbs up. ;)
thank you!
paleo meal prep please!!!!! :) thanks!!!!
+ariana arevalo great suggestion! Thank you!!
+Mind Over Munch I agree! Paleo paleo!
About storing eggs in the door. I can remember reading that you shouldn't store eggs in the door because the changes in temperature when the door is opened. Unfortunately, I can't give you the source as all I remember is the advice. It stuck in my mind because refrigerators used to come with egg holders in the door.
+Catherine McFarland You should do what you're more comfortable with. Generally, eggs are okay to be at room temperature for a while before having to worry about bacteria, which is why the door is usually fine :)
Great tips! But that leaves me to wonder why my mother in law, after cooking a meal and serving, stores her meals on the counter for the night into the next day or two. She never puts them in the fridge to store
+P3acexL0veScr1be oh wow! It totally depends on the meal, but most cooked things do need to go in the fridge to stay well.
Mother in law are witches ajahajja
Yes that is an old wives tale!! You're not supposed to let food cool to room temp, then refrigerate or freeze. That is when bacteria grow and multiply!!
You must cool food down asap to at least 40°F!!
Anybody who has worked in food service (at least in Ca) knows this.
+jmconant It makes sense to me that the food would be safer in the fridge lol :)
How do you keep eggs once it is cooked ? and how long ? tks !!
+Jteg175 What do you mean? I keep boiled eggs in the fridge :)
+Jteg175 You can store boiled eggs either with a shell or peeled, whichever you prefer! Boiled eggs will last about a week in the fridge :)
more vegan meal prep please!
+Kim O'Reilly thank you for the request :)
So there is a science to loading food into the refrigerator :o Thank you for giving me knowledge/the perfect excuse to reorganize the fridge-ness and clean up the neglected drop of stuck on juice? sauce? It's a combination of something :/
+IdieDreamPlayGround lolz, I really need to clean my fridge because there's loads of that stuck on juice sauce in there.
+Mind Over Munch A recent tip I've learned is to spend 5-10 minutes doing a quick wipe inside. It's not a deep clean but just a simple surface one is enough to spare your arms from extra scrubbing, dawg
Great tips!! I also wash and cut celery and carrots and keep them in an open bowl in my fridge soaked in filtered water. This makes them last at least an extra week and they're ready for eating individually, w/ hummus or celery ready for peanut butter. I agree with you! Without the food prep unhealthier food items in your home are ALWAYS usually a go to! For me it is ESSENTIAL to stay on track!! ;)
+Stargazer Lily That's a great suggestion with the carrots, thank you for sharing!!!
+Mind Over Munch You're welcome!! After like 3 days or so just make sure to change out the water! They stay crisp for awhile! 😉💜
paleo meal prep!
+hippymama93 great suggestion! Thanks!
I usually prep for 3 days :) But I usually don't prep breakfast (only if I bake bread^^)
awesome!
What music do you use this?
+Max Cooper This one is called "let me get you alone" :)
+Mind Over Munch thanks!!!
Well yeah... But how do you store food...?
Lol #IdiotJokes
I love your videos
LOL thank you!!
Q: how to reheat meal prep food. I will heat it up once before work outta the freezer and reheat it again before lunch. However dont feel like the food stays fresh this way. HELPPPP
+the bedsloth I usually don't freeze each meal, I try to prep 4-5 days of what I can keep fresh and only freeze it if I know I won't get to it because reheating can be messy. Sometimes I'll freeze individual portions of protein so I can just take them out of the freezer the night before and let it thaw a bit in the fridge, and then just reheat that the next day :)
ahh ok the thawing part i get. but which means essentially ull still need to reheat twice? once outta the fridge and again jus before u eat?
the code "kickstart" isn't working.
+Kit Smith Hmm, it should be working. Shoot me an email at sales@mindovermunch.com if you still cant get it to work and we will get it fixed for you!
