Those are so awesome, most peaceful and rewarding thing, you’d want to do it everyday.

[@Diamond_Skies]

I don’t like to/won’t eat the same thing every day. Instead of making the same meal, I’ll make big batches of one thing: rice, GF pasta, chopped lettuce and types of veggies and store them all in individual glass containers. Then, I can mix-and-match all of those elements to make something different, by adding different sauces or other seasonings. So, I can on one day have a warm pasta with sauce and veggies, but the next day eat a cold mix salad with veggies and a little bit of pasta with a vinaigrette, or have warm rice and veggies, and the next day a rice salad with cold veggies and dressing. 😋

[@luciebfink]

this is a great idea! bcs I too am not rly a fan of eating the same thing everyday. I'll definitely try this, thank you!

C*Stereo I agree, the exact same meals day after day is weird lol and let's face it by day 4 the food is pretty gross lol prepping for 3 days is max

[@korinneguthrie]

I meal prep stir fry for all me lunches. I normally do cereal or oatmeal for breakfast. Easy snacks like popcorn, fruit, and nuts. I make dinner 2 or 3 times a week and eat the leftovers on the other days. I plan on Thursday, shop Friday, and cook Saturday. I've saved so much money by doing this.

[@MinttMeringue]

Just preference I think. I know I like to use wheat fiber or bamboo fiber utensils and such- nicer on the tongue and teeth. Also, they dont clank in your bag!

The easiest ways to meal prep I found is too make big portion of your dinner one night and have it for the next lunches

[@thestar8135]

yeah that is what I usually do. And it ends up being around $150 a month instead of a week.

[@TheAbleeblee]

Meal prepping saves my life! I'm a Masters student so I don't have a heap of time to spend in the kitchen. I usually make a few different options for dinners and lunches that can be stored in the freezer so all I have to do it microwave them and go! My favourite thing to make in the winter is pumpkin soup, it works out to be around $1.50 a serving (and that's in New Zealand where veges are expensive!). Another firm favourite is a Mexican bean dish that can be used in a heap of different ways (burritos, enchiladas, on rice, as a shepherds pie, in nachos, and many more.) It's the easiest thing to make because you literally just have to chuck a whole bunch of beans and a tin of tomatoes in a big pot, season it how you like (I usually use pre-packaged taco seasoning) and leave it to simmer for 10-15 minutes.

[@refinery29]

+adeleparli Thanks for sharing!! :)

[@luciebfink]

Adele Parli woooo this sounds amazing! Thank you!!!

[@iiuniversalii2209]

Adele Parli what's pumpkin soup

[@TheAbleeblee]

Soup made out of pumpkin! You roast it (along with other veges) and blend it up with vege stock and some form of milk/cream (I use soy). It's lovely in the colder months.

[@StarrMarie143]

$100 is expensive for 5 days

[@manilak4415]

Well like she said, each meal would come to about four dollars which isn’t that bad considering at restaurants dishes are usually $8+

[@rosetowler5356]

Yeah I was thinking, I try not to spend even half that on food,unless it's a special occasion like Christmas or thanksgiving

[@anaacosta7652]

Also I’m pretty sure she bought every single thing she needed for those meals. Some of these things most people already have which will reduce the cost! :)

I’ve being calling my mom so much recently because she just never does this! I read blogs about these and after I moved out, I finally got into meal prep and got her into it! I showed her this and she was HOOKED

[@averycee5192]

I feel like everything just gets really soggy and old, especially all the veggies. Is shrimp even good after 5 days? I find chickpeas get really soggy after the first day also!

[@MinttMeringue]

Avery Cee Not really. Some foods, like fruits, don't really work well for meal prep (if you rinse or cut them). But others, like beans, work really well! Shrimp does too, at least for me. But I never meal prep for more than 5 or 6 days.

[@misstinahamilton5714]

That's what I think and that's what prevents me from meal-prepping . I'm really anal about food safety but also about the quality and taste of food- and I need my food fresh - otherwise I can't eat it

man idk.. being an asian its so sad to see people have not discovered the joy and beauty of rice cookers....... why would u ever cook rice not with a rice cooker? and do u know u can cook so many other things with it too and u just put it in and forget about it? its amazing

[@crazichickify]

Linda B I've been cooking my rice is a sauce pan for years and never have to watch over it. It's fluffy, doesn't stick together (if I don't want it to, and none of it (except for the odd grain) goes to waste. I usually start cooking the rice as my other stuff simmers. But it is very true that I haven't used a rice cooker before. What else can you do with it?

[@lindab1679]

really?! i never tried with a sauce pan gotta have a go at it sometime. you can cook congee, put sweet potato in it, any sort of soft foods can be put in a rice cooker. the electric rice cookers especially have more options. its like a crock pot kinda, but pretty fast!

This might be a really stupid question but how do you store the cooked chicken for 5 days and not have it go bad?

[@varvanie]

Most things will last a week in the fridge. We tend to freak out about that kind of stuff, but it's not as bad as we think.

[@alishak9425]

Mel Melson exactly, you should only keep most cooked foods 3 days after making them

[@lindahandley5267]

It will easily last for 5 days.

[@Tan-ns2hr]

It will taste horrible after day 3, i don't recommend it

[@kailikattai9689]

My main question always when I watch these videos, how the food is stored? In freezer? Because after 3 days, its decaying already, and its not healthy and of course the taste will go bad. Not like eating same things through all days. The idea is good to prep meals early, but still 2 questions - how to vary it and how to store it not getting decaying food. For me, the most important is get fresh meal. How tomato is saying fresh, when I cut it on Sunday and eat on 4 days later?

Also we work 2 shifts then off to 2 then work 3 shift then off for 2 then work 2 more then off for 3, so I can't make meals for all those shifts. I make them for the 2 or 3 shifts in a row (but that's up to 6 meals for lunch not including snacks) It wasn't too bad but I was going a bit crazy in the kitchen so my boyfriend ask if he could help, so I got him to cook the rice for the burrito bowls. 2 night shift in so far and the meals prep are great, save money and time.

[@pencilicefire]

Two equipment that will help with meal prep is to get a rice cooker and a slow cooker. The rice cooker helps you to reduce the stress of worrying the rice while you cook for other components in your recipe. One trick with the rice cooker is to throw in thin slices beef, minced ginger and garlic, and seasonings when the rice is cooked halfway through and results in a one-pot beef steam rice. The slow cooker is to make another one-pot recipe, stew beef, spaghetti sauce w/ meatballs, chick noodle soup and more.

My thing in winter is to make a massive stew on Sunday. Carrots, parsnips, swede, sweet potato, leek, mushroom and some braising steak. Add one cheap bottle of red wine, stock cube, a little chinese 5 spice and two cinnamon sticks. Forget about it in the oven on low heat for a few hours (nap time). Gives me sunday dinner, then I keep two pots int he fridge and freeze three more. So much less hassle, and good if you're trying to up your veg :)

My sister and I did the 28 day jumpstart by FitGirl. It was all meal prepping with absolutely delicious recipes. We prepped for 3 days in advance, I just find some of the food to change texturally if we prepped longer which was not appetizing at all. So in all we would prep 24 meals plus a no prep snack for each day to save time over a 3 day period. i.e. portion controlled things like packs of nuts, raisins, protein bars..things of that nature. I found it was easier to stick to a good healthy diet (not necessarily for weight loss) and it just works for days you don't want to cook.

I'm 16 and dont have enough money to meal prep to I eat oatmeal for breakfast, 3 eggs for lunch and, canned chicken breast for dinner. it may sound bad but it's very good and has a over 50g of protein the chicken itself!

Refinery29 thank you

I totally want to try meal prep!

[@linlupin]

Do ittttt~

[@cdev1505]

You can save a lot of money by buying dry beans, frozen corn (and other chopped veg), and lightly bruised fruit and veg from the discount bin. Family packs of meat can be repackaged and stored in the freezer for weeks. Spices bought in bulk instead of jars often amount to at least 5x less expense. Things like soup, curry, and chili scale up really well and the price per portion is typically under a dollar if you're not using entirely fresh veg or premium meat.

I do meal prep every weekend for school since I don’t like cafeteria food and I have more variety over what I want to eat. For breakfast, I usually have vanilla Greek yogurt with nut free granola (because I’m allergic) with berries. For lunch, I have either a salad jar or a burrito bowl and as a snack, I have dark chocolate dipped strawberries or a homemade dessert like a cookie or cupcake

[@refinery29]

+layba.i Sounds good! Thanks for sharing!

[@elspethchalmers8061]

#ZEROWASTERULES Go Lucie for bringing more awareness to this issue!

[@luciebfink]

[@trishabiddle5175]

keeping lettuce fresh is by using paper towels works wonders for me everytime

[@chloebreedveld8134]

5 days of treating yourself

[@refinery29]

+chloebreeveld GREAT idea!!

[@chloebreedveld8134]

Refinery29 omg you saw my comment🤗🤗

[@lifeoflorac]

This for sure is helping motivate me to meal prep. One of my biggest concerns is it being more expensive. I really want to do this challenge now!

[@meghanfurno3735]

[@roejin7365]

This seems like a hella good idea for college students... But first I gotta learn how to cook. XD

[@xl0pate0lx]

show me the college student that has 500$ for food a month. Thats hella expensiv. I try to stay below 200$ for food a month eventhough I dont meal prep and I have friends that spend even less,

[@jenny-doe]

I’m in college and my weekly (more like week and a half) grocery bill is around $35

[@carrieanne9555]

Do 5 days of using lush products (example:bath bombs, facial washes, creams,scrubs)

[@cdboe100]

I use my slow cooker to add a bit of variety to my meal prep. I'll prep two or three days of the same thing and then set out the slow cooker on the forth day for a hot meal ready when I arrive home. I then portion out the rest and freeze them so I can grab them next week whenever I'm tired of the same thing or haven't had time to do any prepping. This is also a great way to lower the cost of each meal, most of my slow cooker meals are only about $2-$3 each.

[@everg14]

Love your sweater!! Have been wanting it since seeing Monica wearing it

[@chloewardlow]

Lucie you should do 5 days of different hair colors

[@GarnetsWeb]

You may damage your hair...Unless you use the dye you can wash out.

[@Nadine-gw5qc]

That would be cool

[@linlupin]

Garnet Fusion there are colour sprays and chalk that washes out in 1 wash

5 days of meeting new people

[@ceciliaf1908]

I would really like start meal prepping! Right now I'm in a very busy period of my life with stuies and work, I never have time to cook anymore :( and my boyfriend isn't really a masterchef. I feel prepping would certainly make it easier to eat healthy.

[@pinkeysherbet7249]

When I meal prep I less make meals and just cook/chop everything. This makes it so I can eat the same thing all week if that's what I feel like doing or change it up. It also allows me the flexibility to accommodate my changing needs on the fly, like if I'm feeling extra hungry one morning or want a lighter lunch.
