Alyssia I can't believe you can take care of all the details so well and at the same time you have such a lively/easygoing/fun personality!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much!

[@iamsamuelsantos]

I don't think I can think of another KZbin that I personally watch (makeup, lifestyle or otherwise) that is so detailed and impressive when it comes to editing and production. Always so professional and easy on the eyes!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so so much! I appreciate you!

[@GradysMom]

Your videos are so well thought out, perfectly edited & executed! I seriously fall more in love with your channel with every video! Great job Alyssia!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much! Love from LA!

[@jeng5306]

I love bentos!!!! I know they take a lot of time to make, but they're so worth it! Loving the seasonal aspect! I have a challenge for you: stocking a mini fridge for dorm rooms. Or microwave cooking? I never did microwave cooking, but I did use my slow cooker for easy cooking and cleanup. Keep up the great work!!

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it! Thank you for the suggestions :)

[@zaraelsaid1849]

I love how u put all this effort in a video to make it more fun to watch, keep up.

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much!

[@thiatello9031]

You are so helpful ,when it comes time for me to make my lunch.Thank you!

[@cerentopal1206]

I love the ying-yang salt ;) Small but cute detail!

[@SylinaLunches]

We can always expect quality recipes from you Alyssia! All the special effects are amazing - the only question I have is .... how do we order this food from you? Just snap our fingers? :P

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you Sylina!! You always make my day!!!

[@SylinaLunches]

Mind Over Munch 😂 - um.... I was serious 🤔😝

[@sleepingterror7]

I thought it would be a cross my arms and wiggle my nose thing. lol

[@SylinaLunches]

I can go for that! lol

[@yafola1]

I just found your channel and subscribed. I've been binge watching for a couple of hours. I'm 41 years old and trying very hard to backtrack my unhealthy ways to avoid the pitfalls of high blood pressure, diabetes, joint pain, etc that plague my older family members. One of my biggest problems in the past was finding affordable, delicious and healthy meals and snacks THAT I WOULD ACTUALLY EAT!!! :) I'm totally guilty of having good intentions with no plan. Thank you for helping me get my game plan together and giving me food options that are both delicious looking, that I know I would eat, that I can make myself, save money and not get bored! Yayyyy!

[@MindOverMunch]

Amazing, thank you so much! I'm so happy to have you here, welcome to the channel! Lots more to come

[@cortneyjones9559]

Giving a like just for the intro alone! lol

[@MindOverMunch]

haha YASSSS Thank you! :)

[@southernchicbeauty]

My daughter and I love watching your videos! We've used several bento recipes for her lunch. Thank u!

[@MindOverMunch]

YAY I'm so glad to hear that you both enjoy! :) Thanks for sharing the videos with your daughter, and for trying out some of the recipes!

[@rukhsarsayani8613]

Alyssia, can you make another 30 day bento box series. ❤❤❤ the series

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much!

[@ChosenLullaby]

I appreciate the keto options you throw in. Im mostly a bento box/snack plate eater. I appreciate being able to use bits and pieces ideas from your videos to create my own combos. Thank you for doing the brain leg work!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much :) More keto recipes to come!!

[@tracyherwig8334]

I'm FALLin' into these bento boxes, Mama Munch!

[@MindOverMunch]

YAY! Thank you

[@cherryrot]

thank you for linking the bento box and other stuff in the description!! just ordered one :)

[@tomurashigaraki--murielgar8349]

All I can say is here in Michigan almonds are pricey af

[@sakuracactus9393]

Muriel Garms ikr

[@shineeis5657]

NC too. Even when on sale they're too expensive.

[@rewbby8617]

Same in Lithuania

[@garlicgirl3149]

Almonds are pricey period but I have found they can be found cheaper at certain stores. That is how I do it. Like Aldi or Lidl...maybe Walmart?

[@angelabacker1177]

My family is obsessed with the hummus oatmeal crackers. I just dump the dough onto a cookie sheet and spread it out and score into squares. Much easier than forming circles and so delicious, I love this channel!

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome! thank you, great idea :)

[@bearsandfriendsworld]

YESSSSSS I love bento vids! 💜 and i just absolutely love this one because it solves one of the problems I always deal with, trying to eat healthy on a budget thatnks for this great video 💜

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome! Thank you!

[@bbb-t3h]

Amazing video, always love the creative way you edit the videos! Like the electricity, hitting the processor with your fist etc. it's so good!

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so so much, Benjamin!! We appreciate that sincerely, we work hard to make every video special and we're so glad that it shows :)

[@saoirsemorridanes]

YAY! Bentooo!

[@MindOverMunch]

yeah!!!

[@coconutcake3198]

Mind Over Munch Alyssia where do you buy your metal bento boxes from?

[@blingo234]

You always have super inspirational videos, I'm using so many of your recipes in mine and my husband's weight-loss journey! Thank you so much!

[@MindOverMunch]

that's so amazing, thank you so much!!

[@rae2439]

“Gluten free recipes!” *whole wheat tortilla* Fairly you could do this one but you know.. you can’t really use wheat

[@tcoleman2162]

They do make g/f tortillas, you could roll out g/ free bread to replace tortilla, hubby g/free 8 years. Lots of great options now 🧡💚💜

[@PrismOpal64]

Dang you're so cranky, you could use some gluten lol

[@yonniehan]

Love your editing and the humor. It really makes your videos stand out. :)

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much!

[@techbyhassan6089]

Awesome job

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you!

[@iielipica4821]

I have made a list of my favourite bentos from each of your videos! Sometimes I switch them up but my favorite is the raspberry with cantaloupe. All my friends say " Wow your lunch is so cool! " I am so happy thank you so much, really! And awesome channel please don't stop :)

[@GeorgiaHistoria]

So good! Would love to see a fodmap and/or IBS friendly meal prep. I've got a family member who can't eat onions, garlic, lentils, beans or dairy. Or even chilli! Makes it very hard to meal prep and cater for them in ways that aren't dull/repetitive.

[@MindOverMunch]

thanks for the request!!

[@LovelyCrane.]

I second this request! My doctor recommends I go low fodmop, but it's hard to find a good replacement for garlic and onions.

[@seadreams2906]

I agree, As someone who has IBS... an IBS friendly meal ideas video would be amazing!

[@garlicgirl3149]

I love your creative mind! Life has been hectic and needed to find a better way to eat instead of not at all. Because no day is the same this is great between the breakfast, lunch and snack themes. I am trying them and very happy.

[@MindOverMunch]

Yes! Thank you!

[@gabrielledubois5589]

amazing episode as always! Thank you 😘

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you!!!

[@natashatrilokekar2435]

Really appreciate the effort that goes into these - truly such a unique corner of YT!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much Natasha!

[@veronicadean4033]

Yay pumpkin recipes!

[@MindOverMunch]

RIGHT!? tis the season!!

[@judit9878]

I love your videos. Thank you for being here for us! I cannot wait to make these for my family.

[@MindOverMunch]

:) Thank you so so much!!

[@verenaschennet7406]

You are the best😍😍😍😍

[@MindOverMunch]

[@laurenschexnider2799]

Your channel gets better and better. Thank you for your hard work.

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so much, Lauren!! We sincerely appreciate that :) Thank you for being here with us and bringing your positivity to this community!

[@valeried8542]

This is awesome!

[@MindOverMunch]

thanks!

[@valeried8542]

@@MindOverMunch super late question.. Is it raw or roasted almonds you use to make almond flour?

[@tame112blood]

Just love the creativity of your videos. I see you in love with that blender too.

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much!! :)

[@tracyherwig8334]

I think my blender is broken... I tried to Fonzie my cauliflower and it didn't work! Oh, this thing is GOING BACK. PS, how funny would it be Mama Munch to come out with your own line of blenders that you smack to start!😂

[@MindOverMunch]

haha!! Maybe some day :)

[@alietheredge]

Every recipe I try is tasty and makes me want clean food more! Where has this been all my life!?!

[@6895Anna]

That opening was beautiful.

[@MindOverMunch]

haha thanks!!

[@barbaraclark1982]

You are awsome, i love how you sneak veggies in food. Also you have some of the most creative ideas ever. Thanks for the time you put into your channel.

[@MindOverMunch]

:) Thank you so so much!!

[@sweetxiuga.9829]

Where r u getting these prices

[@MindOverMunch]

We're using an affordable general price for the amount of the item used in the recipe in our calculations.

[@sweetxiuga.9829]

Mind Over Munch thank u

[@NaomiStGregory]

As usual - genius! Love the Mary Poppins type of moves with the food processor as well as the carrots, celery, and poms magically chopped up on the cutting board. Smiled the whole way through the video!

[@MindOverMunch]

:) Thank you so so much!

[@fanofpink]

Intro was amazing and interesting fact about the hiccups!!!!

[@MindOverMunch]

thanks! Yeah so cool! :)

[@christinab.2864]

hiccups Are annoying

[@Michelle-if4he]

The editing and music really does it for me. This is great

[@MindOverMunch]

thanks!

[@VirgoLunaKnight]

That intro 😍😍😍

[@MindOverMunch]

:)

[@elypso169]

Poornima Krishnan 👍

[@trekvdm]

Videos are a joy to watch. Quality editing!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much!

[@kamaribrown9902]

And I thought eating healthy would be too expensive...

[@MindOverMunch]

it can definitely be affordable :)

[@findingaway5512]

You are the bento queen! Love budget friendly videos as well. And those bentos are so darn cute! Great job with the filming as always!

[@MindOverMunch]

[@mariazielinska277]

Since when whole-wheat tortillas are gluten free?

[@MindOverMunch]

You can use corn tortillas, coconut flour, etc., anything that works for you!

[@cecorniuk]

I agree! I get that you can use gf tortillas. But, I also don't think it's right to advertise the video as all gluten free when it's clearly not.

[@christinab.2864]

Brown rice that's how

[@LallyPopp]

Dare Jones Lol! Right?!? People need to chill.

[@wysteriafox2977]

The first thing alyssia says is these are just guidelines and you can do what works for you. Thus it could be a completely gf meal if you choose the other options. Go find another video to troll

[@jamiedavison8118]

I really like how your videos show the different diet lifestyles (vegan, gluten-free, paleo etc.) as options in your recipes rather than having your channel skewed entirely towards one. It feels like suggestions based on facts and science rather than you shaming us for loving carbs! Very informational and helpful and truly SO entertaining! Thanks Alyssia!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much, I appreciate you!!! :)

[@TheWritingType]

These videos are great fun and the recipes look yummy but I have no clue where you get your prices from, they seem completely incorrect and it really bothers me as someone living on an actual budget.

[@MindOverMunch]

thanks for the feedback, the prices noted are for the specific amount used in the recipe for the serving that is shown- so it wouldn't account for an entire box of raspberries, but the amount used in the box.

[@lifewithivan3877]

I love all your bento box videos. Thank you for all the healthy ideas and alternatives. I decided to try my hand at these lunch videos Wish me luck! hehe I am a mommy to a 4 year old boy 💗

[@alison2649]

Hi,I have a question about the ads that play before your video starts,of course I don't want to sit through them so I hit "skip ad" but I heard a rumor that you guys don't get paid if we don't watch the whole ad. Is that true? Because as a fan I'm willing to not hit "skip ad" if it helps you out financially. KZbinrs don't address this so I don't know?

[@MindOverMunch]

:) You are so sweet. It's true, we don't get paid adsense if the ads are skipped, but we know ads are annoying too, so do what you've gotta do :) Thanks for your support, I appreciate you being here to watch regardless of the ad!

[@robinjones9588]

Thank you for asking -- I've wondered.

[@saoirselynne1776]

I liked everything but the carrot chips . I made almost all the stuff just not the blender pumpkin muffins cause I can’t get pumpkin . The carrot chips were strange but the rest was great! Definitely try some recipes if your looking for a new ad exciting school or work lunch

[@michelleclementsdavis812]

Hello🤣munchy, you are amazing, creative and very talented, where do you come up with all these wonderful ideas? Alyssia, do you have a recipe for homemade yogurt? I had to throw that munchy in even though I think you call your people munchies, as I thought it would be appropriate to call you munchy 😂🤣lol. Thank you for this video and your wonderful recipes we'll have to make these.

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so much!! I do have a homemade Greek yogurt video- it's very old haha but the recipe works great! :)

[@fishytopez4492]

These videos are getting like Hollywood productions! And I love it! Love , love your channel and I'm inspired to make better lunches for my kids. Thanks for the time and effort you put into your channel. You guys deserve a million + subscribers.

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so so much! I appreciate you!

[@dirtybloodyheart]

Can you edit my dishes done? lol

[@MindOverMunch]

HAHAAAA right!?

[@mshockey73]

Of course I love all of your videos but your Bento Boxes are my personal favorite. Happy Thursday Alyssia:))

[@MindOverMunch]

Love you Cheryl! Thank you so much!

[@iby7860]

That whole wheat tortilla is definitely not gluten free!!! Please be more careful in future videos. Even the smallest amount of gluten is very very harmful for celiacs.

[@leadavis494]

Great comment@ Huge mistake.

[@notnotme3918]

Thank you for doing this! As a student this is ver helpful to keep my food healthy and budget friendly. 😊

[@MindOverMunch]

so glad, thank you! :)

[@nikkyxxx9178]

The editing is brilliant! I love your videos because I'm always hungry lol but never know what to eat so thanks for giving me ideas x

[@MindOverMunch]

haha thank you! So glad you enjoyed!

[@mizkayzee]

I had to pause to subscribe and comment and let you know that the recipes are AMAZING and the editing and music is awesome!!!

[@MindOverMunch]

[@mezajw5]

Man I love your bento ideas. It's a great way to save money and get a good healthy way of carbs sugar and protein. From veggies to fruits, nuts to meats. Keep up these great videos. Like a said before Mind over Munch is my favorite KZbin channel.

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome, thank you so so much! I appreciate you!

[@Lithostoic]

I think the last box was my favorite! All great ideas, love the apple cheddar quesadillas too.

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you!! :)

[@denisecampbell6736]

Thank you so much for these Alyssia!! This Celiac really appreciates it. 😊. BTW those Turkey Grape Cheese Skewers? Perfect timing, as most of my fellow 🇨🇦s are still working on Thanksgiving Leftovers. Not us, as we had a 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration in the Family this past weekend, so the meal was taken of. 😊. I'll have to wait till Christmas to try these I guess. Take Care & again, Thank You!!

[@lavender8092]

Hey! I love this channel and this series! Ive been really wanting to eat more healthy! Im currently in 4th grade going to middle school(where I live thats 5th) I don't eat school lunches cause... ew. This has really helped me eat healthier and feel motivated. When I watch these videos I feel motivated to eat healthy, pack healthy, and plan(I don't know why). My old lunches used to be: A bag of chips Fruit snacks Apple sauce and seaweed. Not very healthy.. I noticed during the school day I got really hungry even after lunch. Then I found this channel and packed one lunch like this, I wasn't hungry the rest of the day(except at dinner)! And I have ADHD, I noticed that I could focus better! I don't know why. Also these are so great, cause they dont get super messed up and splattered everywhere. Thanks sooo much for these videos and this channel!! Ps: Here is a Bento box Idea! Everything is from Costco. Maybe you can do a Costco bento box video! Seaweed Almond Chips 2 Aussie Bites Granola Cucumber Popcorn chips(Sea Salt, or plain popcorn) Rice cake with peanut butter. And fruit. Thanks for taking the time to read this lol.

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you for sharing! So glad you are feeling inspired :)

[@smileBIGtime]

Yes ! I love love love this! Recently have gone gluten free and it’s hard to get cheap and easy lunches !

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome, so glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

[@livonadventures6539]

I love this video, just for how many times you repeat that seasonal fruit is affordable. So many people forget- or just don't know this! Plus, buying seasonably is much more sustainable and earth conscious! Great video as always :)

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you!! :)

[@samaalabbas]

Congrats, this video is a winner this year, you included multi diet plans in it. keto, paleo, vegan,...etc. Must go viral. you are a genious

[@Melly_Bee_]

The editing was so entertaining! I like how the ingredients were listed and we could watch the process, rather than have a lengthy explanation. 👌

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you :)

[@roki5337]

OOOHHH lots of colorful and inviting ans well as easy to put together! The cauliflower in the egg bits!!! WOW I am liking that! Extra nutrition! the hummus crackers are calling my name... loudly as well as the pumpkin muffins! Nice flavor combo with the cantaloupe and raspberries!

[@MindOverMunch]

yeah!! Thank you so much :)

[@Zarai_Numbers]

I just made the crackers and they are so good! Instead of humus I used pureed red lentils. I might try using other pureed beans too. 😋

[@MindOverMunch]

Awesome! Thank you for letting me know! Great idea :)

[@sonialegault8673]

Awesome, full of great ideas, and very pleasing to the eyes. Love your site.

I am a huge fan of your channel. Thanks for all your amazing videos. I just finished making the mini quiches and am wondering if they will do well frozen? I’m trying to give my daughter (somewhat picky eater) a more interesting/ healthy lunch. This video had so many great ideas! PS, don’t let the complainers get you down.. no way you can make everyone happy.

[@MindOverMunch]

[@efearless]

Nice job on the editing! Details are amazing!

[@MindOverMunch]
