      Hey Derek, I always see you squeeze the water out of your Tofu, but didn't see that here?

    So glad to see you encouraging aggressive seasoning. So many recipes I see in books and online just seem like they will be so bland, and they usually are, so I often find myself at least doubling/tripling the suggested spice amounts.

    • @lisamarielindenschmidt649
      @lisamarielindenschmidt649 7 місяців тому +7

      I agree. And the thing I really love about Derek is that he's getting most of his flavour from things like fresh herbs and spices - which makes such a difference (as opposed to just relying on salt for everything)!

    • @lindsaytoussaint
      @lindsaytoussaint 7 місяців тому +6

    Been cooking broccoli in salted boiling water for 3.5 min and then putting in cold water for 1 min. Color and crispness is spot on. The brown rice and lentil mixture looks like a great burrito ingredient.

    I just want to share that these meal prep tips are not just for people who workout but as a parent, they’re a game changer and I truly appreciate it. It helps me get my meals in when I’m running around doing all the things but also as a way to help little ones eat healthy too. They see me eat this way and they want to as well! I can prep for the week ahead and save time in the kitchen. It opens up my time to soak up precious moments with my family instead of feeling like I’m “stuck” in the kitchen all day. It’s helpful for older kiddos to easily reach for these meals vs snacking all day. No judgment just facts bc sometimes that’s all kids do is graze, especially when those growth spurts hit. 😅 As an added bonus, little hands LOVE to help out in making these. We love to talk about the nutrients in each meal and how they support our bodies to stay healthy and thriving. All that to say, thank you. 🤗 God bless you!

    • @Simnettnutrition
      @Simnettnutrition  7 місяців тому +12

    Love this! I love anything meal prep. Working full time, this is awesome! Another helpful thing is packing food for trips. Due to food intolerances and sensitivities, I am unable to eat out, and not all grocery stores in the places I go to have the food I need. Therefore, it is an art to pack the food and supplies. Due to celiac, I bring all my own kitchen utensils too, so that triples the packing. I forgot my blender once, washed the Airbnb’s blender out completely thoroughly…every little piece, and was sick all night…never again. And your favorite tools to use for packing perishable food for a beach day or a day where it will be exposed to the sun all day or for several hours. I play volleyball, and I have had to get creative with this for tournaments and even just league games when I play for 3+ hours in the summer heat. Beach days and day trip hikes are other examples with the food sitting in a hot car for hours before getting eaten. I’m intolerant to all grains, so any sort of granola bar is out. I am allergic to peanuts and sensitive to nuts, so energy bars are out. So, I eat a lot of bananas, peaches when in season, and drink a lot of smoothies…which are perishable in heat. And the bananas are perishable if it’s too cold. And I eat a lot of salads and other from scratch meals like soup that are perishable in extreme weather. Anyway, it’s an art to learn to pack food while being active, so tips, tricks, and favorite ways to pack food to balance the temp of the food would be awesome. I love your videos! 😃

    I must say that I prefer to eat different meals so I usually prep just potatos and a kind of legume to use during 2-3 days or a kind of grain and a legume again for 2-3 days. Then I add whatever seasonings I like and prepare them differently (waffle, soups, one pot meals etc.) but your food looks delicious as always :)
