Meal prep is one of the keys to weight loss. Today I am sharing with you a typical food prep day for my work week. Do you meal prep?

Not sure why but your video popped up on my phones notification. I am not vegan nor do I look up vegan stuff but I love this video. Great meal prep. I think KZbin was reading my mind about cutting back on meat protein. Going to try out some of this next weekend when I'm at the store.

Love that! I am so glad you loved my video. There are mysterious forces at work here, best heed their guidance😀 Seriously I'm happy you found me. My recipes are not just for vegans. My husband is not a vegan and loves my food. I hope you get some ideas for your meal prep and maybe eat a little less meat in the process. Thanks for watching💚

This is awesome, thank you so much!! One tip: I suggest glass containers to avoid toxicity from plastic leaching into the food, especially because you’re putting hot food into the containers, and heating in microwave. I got a whole set of borosilicate glass food containers on Amazon.
@ChewonVegan3 жыл бұрын
I have tons of glass storage containers, but I prefer the plastic for my lunch bag, they are much lighter in my bag The ones I get are BPA free, so I'm not too worried about. Thank you for your comment and sharing your tip.

I make oatmeal with almond milk, Bob’s Red Mill High Fiber Oat Bran (7 grams each of protein and fiber), chia seeds, a Tbs of pb (peanuts and salt only), one smooshed ripe banana, cinnamon and nutmeg. It is so good, and filling! I can add defrosted wild blueberries (tiny) or other fruit as well. Never considered adding cauliflower or zucchini to oatmeal.

Great idea with adding veggies in oatmeal just an fyi on ground flax seeds once they’re ground they are very delicate and nutrients fade away quickly. Best to stir them in after cooking to save potency of micronutrients.🙂

@ChewonVegan3 жыл бұрын
I usually have the same for dinner, a starch and non starchy veggies, maybe some beans. I keep it pretty simple. My husband is about 70% plant based. I'm still working on him 😂. He is very supportive of the way I eat and my you tube channel. He knows the benefits of a plant based diet but just isn't there yet, and that is okay. We all get there in our own time.
