Thanks for joining me for another meal prep video! This week I'm using up everything I had on hand in my fridge/ pantry for this meal prep! I only spent $28 at the farmers market and just used up staple items/ leftover veggies I had! 🥳 Recipes are written out down below!

Recipes from today's video:
Chili tofu recipe:
2 packages of firm tofu pat dry & cubed
4 cloves minced garlicc
about 2 tsp salt free table blend
2 tsp salt free southwest seasoning
liquid aminos (or salt) to taste
4 tbsp almond flour
cayenne pepper
shake all the seasonings & tofu together in a large mixing bowl
bake for 25 mins at 375
Veggie soup:
1 onion diced
4 carrots diced
1 package mushrooms sliced
1 can diced tomatoes- no salt added
1 can kidney beans + the liquid
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
4 cups veggie broth- low sodium
2 sticks celery diced
1 red bell pepper diced
1/4 of a head of cabbage chopped
1 tsp herbs de Provence seasoning
1 tsp no salt garlic and herb seasoning
1 tbsp liquid aminos
Mushroom seasoning
Pressure cook for 6 minutes
Stir in chopped kale and frozen corn at the end
Hummus:
2 cans chickpeas drained not rinsed- I use low sodium ones
1/2 cup tahini
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp cumin
1 1/2 lemons juiced
lemon zest/ peel
2 tsp liquid aminos
(or salt to taste)
Pesto:
1 cup basil
1/4 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
2 tbsp hemp seeds
(Comes out best if you soak then drain the nuts/seeds)
1 clove garlic
1 lemon juiced
lemon peel/ zest- about 1 tbsp
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
pinch of salt to taste
pinch of black pepper
About 2 tbsp water
blend all ingredients together
if you want a chunky pesto, blend the nuts/ seeds first then add the basil at the end and pulse a few times to mince it up

I'm amazed how creative you are with using what you have. 25 for the week is fantastic

[@becsparker6278]

Chanty you are my MOST loved vegan meal prep gal on KZbin. I don't know what it is, maybe just how casual and relaxing your vids are and how you seem so real and down to earth 💕 You don't have the Pinterest kitchen, which I love (zero offence intended) and you make such an array of yumminess! Anyhooo.....I wanted to ask if you don't mind sharing; how do you stay MOTIVATED to meal prep each and every week as you do? I try, but something always seems to come up over the weekend and I run out of time. We don't also have access to a beautiful farmers market like you, but I'd just love to know how you make this practice stick! Love from New Zealand 🙏💚🥬

[@GailRobinson-qb1zf]

😂love the vacation comment made me laugh out loud. Loving the recipes Chanty 🎉keep up the good work 😊

[@user-vn6xo2tc9r]

I have a toddler + one on the way and I’ve been starting to meal prep more! Please keep sharing! Love these videos, especially the fridge shots at the end 🤩

[@jimw966]

Doing a Chanty catch up day and these videos are just so pleasant to watch. The jazz music is a total vibe. Always fascinating to watch you work your magic with the food 😃

[@Chantymarie]

Awwww thanks so much!!! 😊😊😊

[@jocelynfoley6201]

Thank you for inspiring me to use what I already have and then just supplement with fresh veggies such as greens.

[@LibbyWithnall]

Love your food prep. So inspirational - especially seeing you use up foods that needs to be eaten.

[@Smudgemom2003]

Love your meal prep videos. I need to eat-out-of-my-freezer for a second & clean it out for spring. The veggie soup is perfect inspiration.

[@TheFruitarianQueen]

Awesome meal prep video as always, you cook like a pro chef, Chanty Marie. 🧑‍🍳👌 I love that you often show the washing of the produce too!!

[@heathermc5557]

Love your ideas and creativity in the kitchen! The hummus and. Dressings you made look wonderful! Yummm

[@crystalh1402]

Love the vegetable soup, I make a clean out the fridge soup every few weeks on Sunday and it’s perfect for weekday lunch for two or three days.

[@sashacerny8227]

love all your meal prep and vegan soups! ❤ also really love your makeup, wondering your makeup routine 😅😊

[@beccogiallo]

That's a lot of delicious food!

[@LauraCastillejos]

I love all the sauces and dressing this week! Your tofu always looks amazing! Were the smashed potatoes good? They look good ☺ Thanks for the video, Chanty! 💕

[@karenthomas1456]

Soup is the perfect vehicle for the random neglected veg you have knocking around your fridge. It's very forgiving. xxx

[@bettymaugeri7316]

Great prep - try to use some of your ideas - thank you.

[@rbrown6476]

That last sauce with basil was the most glorious colour. It all looked wonderful and wish I lived near you 😅 Do make your own kimchi - it’s really nice, because you can make it with whatever veggies you like best and also as hot or mild as you like. Plus it’s really expensive to buy. I love it with lots of stuff.

[@deeshore4487]

I get good ideas from you! Enjoy your videos 😊

[@Chantymarie]

Yay that’s great to hear! Thanks! 🥰

[@edyann]

I wish I was as disciplined as you!

[@kecrn4132]

Meeeeeee too!! I eat very well, but I need to do more meal prep like she does!

[@edyann]

@@kecrn4132 I'm so lazy when it comes to meal prepping. 🙈😁

[@nabr0n]

she's a mastermind 👩‍🍳

[@Chantymarie]

Awww thanks so much everyone! It’s a lot of work but I think worth it cause it saves so much time during the week!

[@Baviskanna]

This is such a great video! I got a lot of inspiration from you to meal prep for me and my husband! I love it. How long did it take you to do all of this?

[@nicoletierheimer3546]

Sorry. I tried to like tofu but only like it in my spring rolls and miso soup. But I marinated mushrooms and they are delicious!!

[@marlies7444]

Love your large containers you keep your greens in. Do you happen to know the name of them?

[@crystalh1402]

Ok I’m dying over your mm mm mmm over the hummus, you crack me up 😂

[@GailRobinson-qb1zf]

Scrummy 😊

[@MsHorsecrazy1]

Great video. When you make the Kimchi I hope you film it.

[@lovingloa1903]

I love this video. Thank you. Is that a slow cooker and do you recommend one specifically? I always use red lentils as the only one I dont have to faff about with for 24 hours!...

[@fashionluvr15]

Your knife skills are 👌

[@italianprincess5046]

how long do you let everything cool before you put away, i feel like no matter how long i let it cool theres always condensation in the containers. same w my produce, but the papertowel trick does help.

[@Boringlife2024]

Not sure if I will get answer but can these instant pot recipes be done in a pot on the stove instead

[@Vesperine19]

I love your recipes and i am from Faisalabad ❤❤❤

[@Trina.b00]

I love your videos. It helps me stay on track 👣

[@icecoldheat21]

Do you use Celtic salt? It has 92 minerals and is very good for the body

[@AccessMentorTips]

It seems like you are saying that you use the Amino Liquid instead of salt. Am I understanding that correctly? I just found your channel today and I absolutely love it!

[@saraf8863]

I always enjoy your videos! I was wondering whether you include much fruit in your diet?

[@Chantymarie]

Yes I eat tons of frozen fruit like berries in smoothies! I just never show them because I don’t meal prep my smoothies lol

[@ginas.6656]

What great meal preps everything looks so yummy! Where did you get your glass /plastic containers?

[@Chantymarie]

The plastic containers are from tj maxx and the glass ones are from Amazon/ ikea!

[@bonnielemmon8493]

If you go to the video titled Meal Prep with me Roasted Veggie Nourish Bowls, BBQ Tofu & Quinoa she has them listed below. They are amazing and come in different sizes as well. Be sure to use her link so she will get the credit. Hope that helps 😊

[@Trina.b00]

👋

[@user-vn6xo2tc9r]

Can you explain why you pre slice your bread? Just curious, thanks!

[@Chantymarie]

Just to make it easier/ faster when we make breakfast in the morning!

[@azp7227]

Do you ever soak your lentils before cooking? Thanks for all the creative ideas for meals

[@Chantymarie]

I don’t I always just put them straight in the instant pot!

[@michellel8537]

When you make the kimchi can you show the recipe?

[@PremaRanjani-ju6re]

😮🎉

[@beatriceserrano7208]

Came across your videos. Came right on time,I'm looking to make more healthier meals.

[@ShansBackyardGarden]

What are you washing your veggies with?

[@haydnpierce7409]

She's using trader joe's fruit and vegetable wash

[@Chantymarie]

Yes that’s it!!

[@-toriizaka46]

the lentils dont look done to me, i always eat them mushy! i thought that how ur meant to eat them, they soak up the water/sauce

[@19zuzi82]

It's all SUPER GOOD but pls don't seal hot veggies/beans, even if you're not putting them in the fridge straight away! They're gonna go sour! Also, I have one question, since that particular product is not really available where I live: can you make smoked (or smoked-like) tofu from normal tofu when you don't have a smoker, but just a stove and oven?? THANKS!💞

[@marneylukanc-hn5vq]

Did you grow up eating healthy or is this a passion you’ve developed as you’ve aged? Oh and the sauces, are they dressing for your salad or what else do you put them in?

[@stellasrvadventures483]

How do you know what goes with what and how to put together these meals and sauces together. Like it looks like you’re just guessing and throwing stuff in there. I think you should do a video on teaching us how to cook instead of what to cook. I looked all over the KZbin and nobody does this, unless you were to join a cooking class which cost money! Just an idea. This is the biggest thing I struggle with is an order to put a meal together I have to go on KZbin and look up a recipe. I would like to be able to just know what to throw in there to make a meal. Thanks 🙏

Do you lived around the LA areas? If you do have you ever been to Jayde’s Market. 🛒 🛍 🍞🥔🥬🥒🥦🥗🚗🖲🏙

[@amyv-m6002]

I was wondering if there were some recommended LA Farmers Markets?

[@Chantymarie]

yes i do live there but i have never been to jaydes market before!

[@Chantymarie]

studio city is the biggest one I've been to out here!

[@amyv-m6002]

@@Chantymarie ok thanks, I think I will be living close to there thank you for both recommendations.

[@justathought1971]

How long does your salad mix last after it’s cleaned , cut up as salad & stored ??? Thank you so much for all you do ! My daughter is a dancer and her schedule is so busy it would be lovely to be more prepared and therefore not binge on food that inflames the body because it’s convenient.

[@Chantymarie]

I’ve had it last over 5 days before! Just depends how fresh the produce is and if it’s not wet in the container!

[@justathought1971]

@@Chantymarie TY 🌱

[@Laineyslife]

Can I still lose weight using these dressings that look amazing. ?

[@Chantymarie]

Yes it’s good to eat some fat from nuts and seeds with your salads/ vegetables to better absorb the nutrients! But if you want a lower fat dressing you can replace half the nuts with chickpeas in any recipe

[@Laineyslife]

@@Chantymarie thank you.
