    You guys seem to love meal prep, so I thought a basic meal prep would be perfect to share with the new year. You don’t need to prepare EVERYTHING to set yourself up for success! What’s your favorite way to meal prep?

      +Mind Over Munch i notice when you did the meat and cheese rollups you did two containers of them could one of them go into the freezer. because it would only be good up to a few days in the fridge. and would love to see a video on a meals in single servings and put into the freezer. like food plan for the month in the freezer.

    Meal prep machine! I prefer to "ingredient prep" most of the time cuz making a decision about what finished meal I'm gonna eat at the beginning of the week and actually sticking to it will never work for me so I just try to keep stuff chopped to prepare later.

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 років тому +2

      +Evelyn From The Internets Absolutely! Love the idea of calling it ingredient prep because that is really what it is!

    That quiche looks AMAZING. I think I might make that tonight... I'm just getting into meal prep. It really does seem to save so much time during the week. I can come home from work and know that I have a quick healthy meal waiting for me. Thanks for the tips! I'm definitely making that quiche soon.

    I am trying real hard to go without sugar, I was just blown away to find out that my cottage cheese has sugar added to it. So I am realizing that I am eating more hidden sugar than I knew about. I am going to read labels much more carefully in the future. Thank you for opening my eyes.

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 років тому +2

      +Susan Elliott Exactly! That is what this is really about- recognizing how much sneaky sugar we eat without knowing! So glad you feel you're learning :) Cheers!

    I LOVE mealprep! It helps keeping all organised and on a budget. With good music it can also be fun!
    I personnally too do half&half, sometimes 60-40 and it's so helpful!

  • @Ekta414
    @Ekta414 8 років тому

    Loved this!!! I prepped yesterday, I realized chilling veggies and cleaning fruit and other herbs and spices helps me through the week. I also made some soup and salad for lunches. I find more then that I end up wasting. Thanks for the tips Alyssiasheikh!!!

    @andreacaro4157 8 років тому

    Yay! Meal prep videos are my favorite even though I always make excuses and never get around to it. I have 90% of the things you used in the video and some decent substitutes for what I don't have, so this will be the week I get off my butt and prep. I think I already told you I bought all your ebooks as a package deal at one point and kept buying them the second you released them ever since. FOR ANYONE THINKING ABOUT IT, DO IT. That Meal Prep ebook is easily my favorite out of the Mind Over Munch collection - I make at least 5 or 6 of the recipes in it on a regular basis.

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 років тому

      +andrea caro Awesome!! I know, we all make excuses, but when I force myself to prep I do so much better throughout the week! Remember, you can modify this to suit your needs, so use whatever recipes you prefer!! Also, thank you SO very much for your eBook feedback, those books are my babies and I'm so glad you're finding them useful!!

    • @andreacaro4157
      @andreacaro4157 8 років тому +1

      +Mind Over Munch I always tell myself that I don't want to prep because I like more variety, but I can see prepping really does make you stay on track. Maybe I'll just plan to prep for shorter periods of time instead of whole weeks since I do tend to have time to cook midweek when I don't have class. I know that graphic design is your first job and you can really tell. ONE DAY I WANT TO HAVE A PHYSICAL BOOK IN MY HAND. I will be first in line to buy it.

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 років тому

      +andrea caro A dream! I definitely want to create a physical book some day :) Thanks for your amazing love and support!!

  • @jadegreen8560
    @jadegreen8560 8 років тому

    I'm always the worst at meal prep, but I'm getting better. I usually don't make enough to last me the week and then I end up having to make more during the week but its not too bad. Lovely video as always, I'm loving the background. Happy week to everyone :)!!!

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 років тому

      +Jade Green I feel you Jade! I usually prep for 4-5 days anyway because the food doesn't last the full week, but even that helps me stay on track better than nothing! :) So glad you like the background! I spent forever on it lol!

  • @sgrenier
    @sgrenier 8 років тому

    Great ideas! I used to meal prep different entire meals that I froze but I love your idea of preparing a little bit of everything! More freshness + it makes everything more versatile and simplifies so much more the prep, since you're concentrating on one item at a time (I mean protein, veggies, carbs & fruits). Definitely going to try this strategy out! 😃

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 років тому +1

      Thank you! I've found that having a few basics prepped helps me stay on track, but I don't have to get bored with the same thing every day :) Cheers!

  • @laurenh4657
    @laurenh4657 8 років тому

    I love to do basic meal preps with 1 lb of ground turkey (or wild meat, like venison or buffalo, if you have access) browned up with some basic spices (Canadian Steak seasoning); then use it in lettuce wraps or on a bed of greens with roasted veggies for great salads!

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 років тому

      +Lauren Hardy That sounds fantastic!

  • @zarahp2098
    @zarahp2098 8 років тому +1

    Awesome, as always! I can't wait to try that quiche!
    One of my favourite ways of meal prepping, is using my cheapo slowcooker. It makes nice stews while I do other things, and I can even prepare food for my omnivore husband, as long as he preps the meat. That's a total win for me! :D
    I also often make huge batches of cabbage/cruiciferous based salads - most of the time I just toss them with lemon juice, salt, pepper and a bit of olive oil - because they stay tasty so long, and are so filling. Just add a hummus and some pumpkin seeds for serving and both the husband and I are happy campers (the camping bit excluded...altho it WOULD work for camping too! ;)).
    Another thing that makes lunch time easypeasy is having a jar of roasted, spiced chickpeas (mixed with pumpkin seeds or on their own) to top salads or soups with. Filling and exceptionally yummy - and good source of protein for me. :)

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 років тому

      +Zarah S P Yes! Slow cookers are a life saver, great suggestion!! Your salad sounds delicious, too :)

    I never thought of the idea of the meat and cheese roll-ups for meal prepping! Fantastic idea. I love that it packs a protein punch with that hummus. I am definitely going to have to add that to my Sunday repertoire. Great video!

    • @MindOverMunch

    A little tip for you so that cutting board will not slide everywhere, is to place a clean cloth under it. i usually use my clean wiping cloth and it will not slide. i have never cut my finger that's why the idea of board sliding makes me cringe ^^a
    Loving your meal prep ideas! i can't eat the same thing every single day too that's why the things i meal prep the most are:
    1. Frozen vegetables (so i have options either if i want to steam, or stir-fry, or just boil them before eating)
    2. Fruits (that won't need to be in the fridge for a week. Since i'm a student and have to share a single fridge with 15 other kids in a boarding house) like oranges, apples, pear.
    3. Condiments (for example i make my own mix for stir fries, or simple dipping sauces for my veggies)
    i usually don't get to prep my own protein cuz it usually taste not as good so mom packed a full container of chickens depends on the days i won't be getting home. i don't prep rice because i cook rice everyday :)

    For me if I were to cook anything a day in advance it might be starch like the rice. But really I'd prop just cut, clean, and season everything days in advance for the fridge, and then cook it that day since reheating it doesn't always come out the same as made that day. I love the tips though!

  • @NapturalButtafly
    @NapturalButtafly 8 років тому +1

    I like to completely meal prep my breakfast and snacks for the week. Generally I'll prepare oats in 8 oz mason jars and use pumpkin spice or apple pie spice (3 dashes) with pecans, dried cranberries and chia seeds and 2 tsp of maple syrup. The next day I'll add 1 cup of almond milk and heat it up in the microwave. I prep about 6 types of veggies to roast or to put in a salad, or make a homemade soup. I also prepare 4 different types of fruit and place them in snack bags so I can just grab it and go. I try my best to do this on Sunday. I'm working on being more consistent with this. The oatmeal is good if anyone wants to give it a try ;-)

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 років тому

      +NapturalButtafly Yes!! Love oats with spices for flavor :) Great idea to do the dry oats in advance! Your type of prep seems to cover the basics which is exactly what I like to do :)

      Oh thanks!! You should try it because it definitely won't disappoint you ;-) I got that idea from the Domestic Geek on one of her meal prep videos...I think it was meal prep week 2 and she used the pumpkin spice and loved it! Tell me how it works out for you!!!

    This is so helpful!! Can you do a vlog or something showing how you actually incorporate all the foods you prepped into your every day meals? I always meal prep but end up never eating everything.

      +cynthia Yes! I use some of my meal prepped foods in What I Eat In A Day videos so maybe check out that playlist :)

    This girl cracks me up! From here in the UK the prep thing is slowly taking hold, but it's great to have the inside track watching your video.... Thanks.
    I did the honest thing and went and bought your newbie prep guide. Being a manly man I have to read it in secret. For some reason this whole meal prep, healthy kick start doesn't seem to filter down to the fellas.... not yet anyway.
    Jars, jars and more jars! I needs to invest ha! How long will fruit and vegetables keep in these. I guess they'll not take up as much room as the plastic tubs (can't spell tuppawear).
    Thanks again x

      +Fly Frosty lol! Your comment made me smile, thank you! :) So glad you're enjoying the channel and I hope you find the eBook useful, it's my baby :) You don't need jars for storage but I just prefer the glass :) Plastic will work fine too. I usually prep for 4-5 days at a time and most everything lasts. I don't usually cut vegetables for more than 4 days out because they will go bad, but to help keep them fresh I'll store them with a paper towel and a spritz of water. For protein and cooked food, I will freeze it if I know I'm not going to use it in the first 4-5 days :) Cheers!

    I meal prep for lunch and dinner for Sunday through Friday. I usually do two or three dishes for lunch, to take to work and school, and one complete dish for dinner. For example, this week for lunch I cooked six fillets of Tilapia, breaded with panko bread crumbs and lactose-free cottage cheese, served over Israeli large-pearl couscous with sundried tomatoes, lemon juice, and parsley, with a side of crab salad. The crab salad is a blend of imitation crab meat, cabbage and carrot slaw mix (I cheated and bought the pre-diced bag), light mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. (I would have used yogurt, but I can only get plain, lactose free yogurt at Whole Foods, and the Cottage Cheese at the far-away Kroger. I'm not about to drive to TWO far away grocery stores. I have to pick and choose each week!)
    For a snack, I prepared egg salad with pancetta, light mayonnaise (again, couldn't drive to find my yogurt), lemon, dill, and paprika. I might add some honey mustard for a little sweetness and zing. I can have this on my oat bread for a mid-afternoon snack at the office.
    For dinner, I made a big meal that has everything I need in it. No side dishes. I made a weight-watchers broccoli-chicken casserole: Three heads of broccoli (maybe 1.5 pounds), a sauce made of 3 cups of chicken broth (from better than bouillon paste), half a cup of unsweetened soymilk, and a half a cup of whole wheat flour to thicken the sauce. To the sauce I added one dry cup of red quinoa, rinsed and ready to cook. I poured the sauce and quinoa over the broccoli in a casserole dish, layered slivered chicken breasts over the top (roughly 1.25 pounds), and baked, covered, at 400 for thirty minutes. For the final 20 minutes I added a half of a cup of lactose free mozzarella cheese, stirred it all up, and bam, instant healthy casserole for the whole week.
    Every week I use different recipes, to keep things interesting. Because I am lactose intolerant I have to get creative when I'm trying to fulfill my rich and creamy cravings. Lactaid, Green Valley Organics, Daiya, and Silk have some wonderful alternatives, but lack nutritional value (except for the non-dairy milk products, which all have at least some calcium--though only the soymilk ever has protein--why is that??).
    Some weeks when I am lazy, I just stirfy chicken and veggies, and serve over rice for basically the whole week. But for the most part, I like to get really creative. One of my favorites was a Weight Watcher's casserole imitating the Greek dish, Moussaka. It was layers of grilled eggplant slices, with a meat sauce in-between. The sauce's primary flavors, get this, were cinnamon, thyme, nutmeg, and tarragon. With a tiny bit of shredded cheese on top, this is by far the healthiest, most savory, and deliciously indulgent casserole I have ever made. I think the recipe was called something like Chicken and Eggplant casserole (but I used beef). In any case, it's delicious and I highly recommend it
    Love your channel!

    OK, I finished the last of my creamers on Saturday and Christmas cookies( with help from my husband). Coffee:half n half w/stevia and breakfast was half an English muffin with butter. Lunch: almonds, homemade hummus, pita baked into chips and the last of a diet pepsi (leftover from a holiday party). Snack was some Greek yogurt (yeah, I am sure there was some sugar in there). Dinner will be homemade spaghetti (a little lean sausage included in sauce). Here we go! Fruit and vegetable shopping Wednesday. They sure didn't look good at Wal-Mart Sunday. Will do the best we can since some of my food may have sugar in the ingredients list. sigh :)

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 років тому

      +lovetwoslot that's awesome! So glad you're joining in :) The point is to really become aware of how much sugar we consume without knowing, so take some time to look at the labels if you can :) Remember also, Greek yogurt that is plain will have some sugar but it is naturally occurring from the milk. There isn't always added sugar, just have to check the ingredients list :)

    Y'know, since you use mason jars so much, it might be an idea to invest in a food saver type thing with the jar attachment to suck all of the air out of the jars to help the food last even longer. Although getting the lids off on the go could be some trouble. Either way, it's something to consider.

    I love the speed prep vid! Domestic Geek also just did meals prep and I got great tips from both of you, thanks!
    So, what you just showed us was meal prep for two? I'm so desperately unoriginal, however, I'm marvelous at borrowing ideas from others and adapting to my own needs. I'm working on meal prep for the week for my fam of five. Storage is my issue. I'm not sure if it's user error or if we just have much in our fridge (from which we mostly eat, pantry items move slowly.)

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 років тому

      +Amy Johnson perfect! Yes I love Sara Lynn's meal prep too :) This prep would be for myself and Christian, but it obviously isn't everything we eat - just the basics. Some weeks I prep more veggies and fruit and some less, depends on how much time I want to spend prepping that day :) Meal prep for 5 is tough but not unattainable. Definitely takes some planning out though. Storage for 5 could be a challenge, I have started storing things like I show in this video in large jars rather than portioning everything out and it helps save on storage space :) My eBook also helps with planning out meals :) mindovermunch.com/ebooks Cheers!
