What will you be meal prepping to stay healthy this holiday? 🤩

[@JazzedatHome]

Good question! I have some black beans cooking in my little crock pot, right now, and I think I'm going to make a black bean chili with them. I just made up a batch of oat groats, last night, to have for sides. And I made a batch of red lentil dahl (with spinach), a couple days ago. I also have fruit in the freezer for my ginger berry smoothie bowls. I had one on Christmas morning (I was craving something healthy after a night of dietary debauchery) and it was so delicious!

[@LetsEatPlants]

@ Wow! Well done Claire!! All of those sound delicious… especially the ginger berry smoothie bowls!? Yummmm! 🤩🤩 Hope you’re having a wonderful holiday. 🥰

[@JazzedatHome]

Thanks, Maddie! I put some chopped up butternut squash into my black bean chili, per your previous suggestion. Aside from being a little stringy, it turned out really well! Yeah, the ginger berry smoothie bowl recipe came from a "happy accident". It is delicious! I'm thinking of putting the recipe up on my blog. I just emailed the recipe to you. Thanks and I hope you had a wonderful holiday, too! 🥰

[@LetsEatPlants]

@@JazzedatHome Awesome! Glad it worked out! I just saw your email and can't wait to try it, thank you so much for sending me that! 😃😃😃

[@JazzedatHome]

Thanks, Maddie! Me, too, as I now have two extra servings to pop into the freezer. You're welcome and I hope you like it! 😄

[@JazzedatHome]

Hey, Maddie! You're right that staying healthy during the holidays can be done, with a little preparation. I've been following the Daily Dozen, to keep myself on track, and that's really been helping me to focus on eating healthier things. And I agree that soups and curries are great for using up leftover veggies. I've been craving yellow Thai curry, with potatoes, carrots, and peas (I happen to have all of those on-hand) and I just found a reasonable source for the spice mix, so I'm going to pick some up on my next shopping trip. Those gingerbread oats look amazing, BTW 😋 Thanks for the ideas and I hope you and your family are well. Blessings! - Claire

[@LetsEatPlants]

Love it Claire!! Yellow curry is delicious, good choice. 😃

[@JazzedatHome]

Thanks, Maddie! I haven't had yellow Thai curry in over a decade, so I'm curious to see if I can make it taste anything like what I remember from my San Francisco days :)

[@LauraCastillejos]

All the dishes look delicious! Thanks for the video, Maddie! 💕

[@LetsEatPlants]

Thanks Laura! 🤗🤗🤗

[@claremorley9845]

Thanks for the encouragement to prep delicious and healthy meals!! Happy holidays! 😊 🎉❤

[@LetsEatPlants]

You’re welcome & same to you!

[@LizetteAshcraft]

I love your videos! I will meal prep for a party where mostly meat and starches will be served. I am a vegetarian on a low carb diet, so I don't eat meat and I am trying (sometimes failing to not eat or at least reduce my carbohydrates).

[@LetsEatPlants]

Aww thank you!! Oh yay, that's wonderful you can prep for that. 🤗🤗

[@debrawhobrey1625]

Thanks, can't wait to try the baked oats for a change.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Woohoo! Enjoy! 🤗

[@sunnygirl5467]

Really great and effective☺️🍛🥧🎄✨️

[@LetsEatPlants]

Thanks! 😃

[@sjones902]

Could you make the baked oatmeal with steel cut oats? If so, what adjustments do you recommend in cooking time and amount of liquid?

[@LetsEatPlants]

Good question! I think you could but it would take a fair amount of tweaking. I think maybe 1.5x the amount of liquid and maybe 40-45 mins in the oven instead? Hard to say for sure without trying it out, but that’s my guess. 😄

[@sjones902]

@@LetsEatPlants Thank you for the head start. I will see if I can figure it out. 😉😊

[@LetsEatPlants]

@@sjones902 Would love to know how it goes for you!

[@Aidan_Au]

Every holiday with vegan meals are healthy 😁
