[@flourishingmiranda]

I have a lot of videos coming your way, as I'm back in the swing of things and finding the time to edit! I appreciate you being here hanging out with me today! If there's anything you'd really love to see, let me know in a comment below! XOXO

😊Nice meal prep. I am someone who doesn't eat out or buy drinks out at all. I really can't remember the last time. 😅We save tons of money 💰 this way (hundreds if not a thousand $$) 👍 Good job making your own coffee at home. 🧋 So smart of you 👍 to make them in the glass jars (those look like Starbucks cold drink containers) 🥪The foiled breakfast egg sandwiches heat nicely in the air fryer like that.

[@dhilrukshi]

You are so organised ❤

[@trishacarlson4122]

So glad to see you thriving, lady! Thanks for all you do :) You are appreciated.

[@flourishingmiranda]

Thank you so much!

[@ponycyndi1]

When the weather is hot, I like to "prep" extra beverages to keep in the fridge. 😊

[@flourishingmiranda]

That’s a great idea!!!

[@lynnealexander1200]

You are so right about getting coffees and smoothies out! In a week you could spend a fortune! I have a Nespresso and love making iced coffees with it for a fraction of the cost. Same with smoothies. They can cost about $12 with tip easily. Overnight oats are one of my favorite breakfasts.

[@flourishingmiranda]

I love our nespresso so much!!! For about 75c-99c per coffee wayyyy cheaper than going to the coffee shop!!

[@Michelle-wm3zb]

Thank you for the quick reply. I live in Florida and it gets super hot and humid here. Overnight oats and ice coffee just what i need to prep. I'm out of apples right now but i do have some frozen blueberries to try and make overnight oats.

[@flourishingmiranda]

Yes try them with blueberries it’ll still be so good!

[@angelawhite2307]

Very helpful.

[@ceworrall]

Brilliant idea on freezing the greens. I'll be doing that - thanks so much ❤️

[@flourishingmiranda]

Anytime you have extra, freeze them for smoothies or purées! I’ll add them to a sauce and puree makes it super delish and creamy!

[@homebase967]

Yes, you are right!! They are worth the effort!! ❤

[@flourishingmiranda]

Yes they are!

[@trtrtrtttt]

Great vid! Great ideas on having foods and beverages ready to go! Enjoying the meals series! Anything quick to prep, and healthy is my go to in the hot summer!!

[@flourishingmiranda]

Thank you!! More coming next week!

[@janebute2541]

Let me just say, your background music is on point ❤

[@layladarby1994]

congratulations on baby , little sounds in the background .

You can make cold brew concentrate in a French press on the counter in 24 hrs. Smoother taste, less acidic. Store in a jar in fridge.

[@flourishingmiranda]

I don’t think this is acidic (remember we all have different taste buds!)

[@Lexi-cl1pr]

Hi! Thanks for the inspiration! I watched your video this morning and ordered a grocery pickup and made some breakfast sandwiches for the next 3 days 🥳 never occurred to me to just keep them in the fridge (I have made them before but froze them and they didn’t heat well).

[@BettyHorn]

Love the idea of having your smoothie elements combined for easy mornings! Is there any softer fruits you might add to your oats? Or what about savory oats? I have found that if they are cooked, they have to be fresh. I don't like how sticky they tend to get. And I'm all in for breakfast sandwiches! I like breakfast burritos, too! Thanks for all the ideas!

[@flourishingmiranda]

I add all types of fruits, but as for savory oats I do like them but only warm! There’s something about the savory option that needs to be warm for me!

[@BettyHorn]

@@flourishingmiranda yes. But they all need to be warm for me.. I don't like them when they get cold and gloopy.

[@sachafresca9902]

I make my iced coffee that way too!!! Soooo good and saves so much money. Yes please 🙏 lunch and meal prep. Grocery hall love it all. Congratulations to both of you!! Thank you for sharing all you do simple and cheap 🙌

[@flourishingmiranda]

It’s sooo much better if you take the time to make it ahead!!!💕

[@homebase967]

Love your idea to do coffees ahead!!... and like your tea pit!!... I don’t think it is silly to meal prep drinks!! ❤

[@flourishingmiranda]

It’ll save you so much time and money if you’re someone who goes out daily! But having them made ahead has been really nice for us! I’m all about grab n go!

[@karenlyle322]

Meal prep please ❤❤❤

[@flourishingmiranda]

Look for another video soon! I have one on deck editing 👀👀

[@mariaramirez5083]

Love the ideas, Thank you for taking the time to still make these videos I look forward to them.

[@flourishingmiranda]

Glad you like them!

[@Michelle-wm3zb]

I like the the coffee and overnight oats. Im excited to try both. Are you using 1/3 cup oats or 1/2 cup oats to make them? I have been following from the beginning always look forward to your videos. Congratulations on the sweet baby girl. So happy for you and your husband.

[@flourishingmiranda]

1/3 cup! I find when I add apples that the best combo 1/2 cup seems to be too much

[@lisamillercreates]

I love to meal prep. I like the idea of coffee. We eat a lot of scratch cooking. The crockpot is also my best friend.

[@flourishingmiranda]

That is awesome! I don’t use the crockpot much until fall hits do you use it in the summer?

[@emszies8303]

Don't you need to toast the muffins first coz when I have them I always toast them first or do you reat the the whole muffin with the egg together. I never thought about make ahead muffins before😮

[@GlossyPinkPrincess]

Egg & cheese McMuffin

[@robinswan5831]

You're so right about all those little steps adding up! Even 4 sammys can make a huge difference!

[@flourishingmiranda]

You’re right! Those 4 saved me from a quick run to grab one anywhere else when I was in a crunch!

[@ruthrelyea7388]

Good to see you again skinny minny ❤ thank you for the meal ideas gonna do the bagel egg breakfast meal but I'm adding low fat cream cheese to mine Give the baby a kiss 💋 for me

[@flourishingmiranda]

I’ll have to try that! Great way to add a little extra protein too!!

[@italianprincess5046]

can you please share you coffee /water measurements? i literally cannot brew coffee to a good strength every since i got the keurig lol! glad you guys are all doing awesome

[@flourishingmiranda]

I do 7 tbsp of coffee ground to every 12 cups not sure if it’s a correct method but it tastes wonderful! Not super watery / not overly strong

[@italianprincess5046]

@@flourishingmiranda awesome ty! i was thinking mirandas gonna think this is such a lame question haha! I cant seem to get it right i've been using the kcups for so long! ty

[@flourishingmiranda]

Not lame at all!! Perfect coffee can make or break your day!💃🏻

[@anna-lenas9949]

Hi Miranda, as a long-time vegan follower, I've been wondering If you've explained already why you stated incorporating some non-vegan food in your meals again. Love your meal-prep videos, by the way😊.

[@flourishingmiranda]

Yes I switched from being plant based (not vegan) to vegetarian when I got pregnant 💜 I’ve talked about it a lot in the last 9 months, but I decided I didn’t want to be super restrictive with my eating anymore life’s too short and with kids in the picture I want MORE in life not less I want to show them a good wholesome example
