1-HOUR HIGH PROTEIN MEAL PREP | super easy, healthy meals for the week (macro friendly)!

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

Hubby and I spent about 3 hours in the kitchen yesterday prepping this meal plan for the both of us. It has been so nice today not worrying about what to eat. I am about to go back to work full time so we are trying to figure out how to stay fed without me having to cook every night after work. Thank you.

[@LKMNOP]

Can't your husband cook the meals?

[@gingerjones111]

Impressed that you are not like the other meal prep videos that are using endless processed foods in their preps. Thank you for using real ingredients and real food to make healthier meals.

[@summerf3022]

Kayla- you are the absolute best. Im sure you have no idea that your meal plans have actually saved lives, but it’s true!!! My mom has followed you for quite awhile and has even purchased the cookware and meal prep containers you used because she loves you so much. She shared with me about your channel and I started following you as well, and my mom has had some very scary health issues lately, that has landed her in the hospital multiple times fighting for her life, but your meal plans is what she has chosen to follow from here on out; and because of her health issues I am helping her do the meal prep on a weekly basis and I am following it as well for my own household and we love everything you share so much! You have no idea what a difference you are making, just know you are loved and cherished by people you’ve never even met! We live here in the Houston area as well and are so very excited for you to welcome your precious miracle baby into your family very soon!! Thank you for all you do and know you are loved and cherished! ❤

[@KaylaJChandler]

Omg this made me tear up 🥹 I’m so glad she’s (and you) been loving my meal preps and recipes. I wish her all the best with her health and healing journey. Tell her to make sure she incorporates lots of the anti-inflammatory preps/recipes and the immune boosting shots. She’s a warrior 💪 And, you’re an amazing daughter for supporting her with these healthy lifestyle changes! ♥️♥️

[@summerf3022]

@@KaylaJChandler thank you so much!!! I shared your response with her; she was so elated to hear from you!! She has even bought the whole caraway cooking set because you recommended it! This week I made her your honey lime fruit salad, salmon with roasted Brussels sprouts and chickpea rice, creamy turkey bacon pasta salad, Date energy balls, quinoa olive salad, and chicken meatball Marinara over zoodles! You’re the best and we love you so much!! Thanks for your response!!!! 🩷

[@KaylaJChandler]

@@summerf3022 Wow! You're killing it with the recipes and they're gonna be so beneficial for her (and you!). Yall got this!! 🤗

[@carriestandish4240]

Your cilantro-lime cauli-rice mixture is BRILLIANT! I don't know why I never thought to combine the two. I'm so excited to try it.

[@misstae3313]

Kayla, can you please create a cookbook with all your recipes? Having all of your great meal prep recipes in one place would be awesome!

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

I am about to go back to work and I seriously need a book with both a full meal plan but also recipes for the week. I have been cooking for 30 years and my brain is tired.

[@SUN7SHINE25]

​@JenniferPerryMyScraproom 😅😅

[@cotavic]

Hello Kayla!! I just wanted to say a BIG thank you for everything you share. I have always struggled in the kitchen. I convinced myself that I just didn't like cooking. Complicated recipes would overwhelm me and I'd give up. I only found you two weeks ago and what a revelation! I've prepared two of your meal preps so far and absolutely love them. My husband is shocked!. Turns out I do like cooking, I just needed no fuss, healthy, super tasty and easy to prep recipes. Buying cookware is my new hobby haha! THANK YOU and cheers from Australia :)

[@autumnj8332]

Kayla you rock. I ordered one of the meal plans you made and I plan on starting soon. I love that everything is gluten free and the meals are not boring at all. God bless you, the hubby, and the baby 🩵.

[@KaylaJChandler]

Yay! I hope you enjoy all the meals and Tysm!! 🥰♥️

[@kathleenh.7956]

Really impressive delivery, simple instructions and organized layout for us to follow in the text description including recipe, macros, shopping list. Super grateful! xo from Toronto

[@djwheels66]

You just gained a follow with these recipes!!! I am so on board with these!!!! Thank you.

[@toridomiart7092]

YO THAT SALAD IS SO DAMN GOOD I didn’t even have salmon or green onion 😭 needed to get rid of some canned tuna and forgot the green onion and replaced the celery with some bell pepper but DAMN can’t wait to try that with some fresh baked salmon like wow new fave for sure. Tryna lose 50lb this year and this gonna make it so easy 😭

[@KaylaJChandler]

lol I’m so glad you enjoyed it even with the substitutions! 🤗 And yesss you’ll def hit your health and weight loss goals this year 💪👏

[@amygrove9293]

OMG!!! Just found your channel and you are an answer to my prayers!! I am so excited to watch all your videos and try all these recipes. THANK YOU THANK YOU for all your hard work and time you put into this. This will be a massive help for myself and family :)

[@Candireu]

The breakfast oats look delicious. Especially the peach cobbler. Makes me excited for Fall!

[@KaylaJChandler]

Ikr!! Will make pumpkin spice oats next time! 🤞🏼

[@squattingrabbit]

Wow Kayla. You have outdone yourself with this one. This burrito bowl is INSANE. So delicious that I had to eat one the moment I was finished. I just ate my fill and had to come and comment right away because I am honestly blown away. I think this is my favorite recipe of yours. Killed it once again and have made my life so much better. I tell anyone who will listen about you and I intend to share this recipe with all my friends, my coworkers, and my mom. Thank you again girl, you're incredible 🥺❤️ AND WHILE PREGNANT??? Amazing.

[@ladybeeluv9233]

Gurllll I missed you. Hope you , baby, and hubby are well. I'm sure happy to see your glowing, beautiful face. Thanks so much for helping me maintain a healthy diet. Bless you

[@KaylaJChandler]

Aww thank you so much! 🥰🥰

She prepped our grocer list too?!?!? I LOVE YOU MAAM

[@abigailmcbean3107]

Happy I found this video. Very simple and really helpful. Thank you 😊

[@mhcpa0628]

Prayers for a blessed motherhood! What wonderful menus. I tried carnivore for a few weeks and last week was a disaster. I worked all day then did Vacation Bible school at night as team leader. It is very rewarding but the food was crap and I didn't have time to prep because we actually started Saturday. I had grandchildren all weekend. My blood sugar dropped too far and I could barely function. Going back to more satisfying macronutrient menus. We have chickens and I get about 9 eggs a day. I usually do something with them for the week but I do get tired of them. Thanks!

[@KaylaJChandler]

Tysm!! And, yeah carnivore isn’t for the weak (and usually it benefits male physiology more so than women’s). It can be beneficial short term for some but hard to maintain long term.

[@bonnyverduzco3310]

Love all these ideas! And yes, plantains are delicious!

[@saphire1259]

I love this high protien quick prep meals. Just right for me.

[@mylynette1]

Thank you for all these awesome delicious recipes and meal prep. I’m starting on Sunday I am retired and gaining weight here in Myrtle Beach SC. Lol hope this works for a more healthy lifestyle and weight loss. Thx again!

[@Omega_21XX]

This is a very simple recipe, and I like that. It is easy to sub things and to prep it all. I find a bit of issue with recommending seed oil slurries know as "oat/almond milk" etc. as the main "milk" unless someone absolutely needs to avoid real milk. Personal preference on celery is low, so seeing so much loaded in, I'll be replacing that for sure. 3 cut slices of stringy bitter crunch, ok. 10 or so is kinda nuts with a side of eggs, ill take more eggs, or eat raw carrots, broccoli, etc. I am mostly commenting on my own choices of things I like, and I like the plan you made. Just some of my adjustments so I don't hate my meals for the week. Thank you for the list!

[@maincharacterNRG]

(Soon to be) Mama Kayla, I truly hope you are feeling as well as possible in this stage of your pregnancy! I’ve tried two of your meal preps (eating your turkey stuffed sweet potatoes now) and about to try a third. I am feeling so much better already - I’m so glad I found your channel. Meal prepping is becoming a habit, and I look forward to trying new recipes each week! You are the best. ❤

[@helloworld7818]

Thank you so much for this. I love that the ingredients are easy to get!!

[@aprill6828]

[@Jackinori]

Just found your channel.. I’m not a ‘cook’ but think I can make your delicious looking meals.. questions: 1. how long do you reheat the meals for & in microwave or oven? 2. Overnight oats do you eat those cold? Thank you if you answer...

[@KaylaJChandler]

You've got this! If I'm at home, I'll reheat using the oven or stovetop depending on the food. Sometimes I'll use the microwave if I'm in a hurry. On the go, I use a portable lunchbox oven (linked in description box above). It's a game changer! You can eat the overnight oats cold, room temperature, or warmed up... that's what makes them so versatile and perfect for meal prep :)

[@debbieevetts3878]

I just found your site today! Luck me! But. Do u heat your overnight oats just before u eat them?

Curious about the avocado slices … you didn’t mention them in the preparation. In my experience once you cut into an avocado you need to finish it off pretty quickly (within 24hrs max). How do you address this? Your avocado slices look so fresh (no brown there at all!)💚

[@KaylaJChandler]

I wait to add the avocado when ready to consume.. I only add for the video because I have to take photos for the blog post ☺️ I usually say that in the voiceover but forgot 🙃
