Mix and Match Meal Prep - 5 Recipes and over 10 Meals

[@dyamonjones7497]

I love this concept! Super simple and flexible. I’d love more examples of mix and match meal prep.

[@MsFigure9]

Me too! I love watching Kevin cook in the kitchen!

[@fitmencook]

heard! on the way!

[@MrHasie]

A series or playlist would be great. Thanks!

[@stevethea5250]

Has it arrived?

[@ch-ml7ib]

Kevin all these years on and I have to say you're absolutely still the number one fitness-oriented food KZbinr in my eyes! Amazing how much you're still inventing, keeping it tasty and interesting, and pushing us on from chicken and rice!

[@vanessaleighl7093]

Please do more of this! I love the idea of batch prepping food but never really get down with multiples of the exact same meal. This is a technique that I have seen some home cooks use but understanding what may work with what is where I get caught up! Great video as always! Thank you for another year of wonderful food and energy! Happy 2023 Mr!

[@fitmencook]

thank you for this and happy new year as well! keep the suggestions coming - I listen to y'all. hope you enjoy this prep as much as I did

[@ursenpapi7361]

Naahhhh I had to comment asap about the subtle translation 😭🫶🏼 I'm Mexican American and not once have I ever seen someone do that in their videos and since Spanish is the second most spoken language in the US I just really appreciate the usage of it 🥹

[@GoodBernal]

100% agree!!! ❤

[@leahmalva1088]

lol noticed this, too! Yes, thanks for this! The latinx community needs u!

[@OldAngloSaxon]

More of these! Perfect concept and super easy!

[@fitmencook]

heard!

[@PeukinsPoint]

This was genius. Feeling completely overwhelmed with an empty grocery list and I wanted someone capable and flavorful to do it for me. Batch cooking videos on YT get SO bland so I Much appreciate this!

[@tasha3757]

Finally! A meal prep video with TASTY looking meals, I was scrolling for ages and everything looked bland af. I also get to revise my spanish at the same time😅

[@judebrummett6605]

I'm definitely going to give this a try! I feel like I'm always planning multiple meals every few days because I struggle with food fatigue SO BAD constantly, but it's also hard when I have a really busy schedule or am just tired to cook so often. Would love to see more videos on how to meal prep while still keep things varied - as well as tips on how to reheat certain foods since some just don't taste as good the following days.

[@fitmencook]

great suggestions for more content - thank you! im glad you enjoyed this video and we'll def keep them coming!

[@clairecw6881]

This was great and so quick. It usually takes me forever to plan and execute. I decided to do it all "with you" pausing when I needed to chop. Im literally done with everything before my veggies were done cooking. And everything tastes good. THANK YOU!

[@thalockenessmonster]

I come from a powerlifting background about 10 years ago. I had Meal prepping down to a science! I have a family of 6 now, and I have body fat, and even though I have the knowledge, I couldn't get back into the grove. This video is the absolute perfect video for anyone starting off or needs motivation. Variety, and taste and ease. I'm not necessarily saying this video is for everyone, or if the food suits everyone, but it is the absolute best video on KZbin for someone unsure, unknowing, or needs motivation. 👏👏

[@fitmencook]

I really appreciate that. Thank you 🙏🏾👊🏾

[@leslie_4559]

This is EXACTLY what I needed! With the exception of a couple of the veggies and tahini, I have these ingredients on hand. Cheers!

[@fitmencook]

Boom! let's get after it then!

[@lorrainecharlton6105]

Thank you so much this is so helpful I just quit smoking and decided to start the Mediterranean diet. Love your recipes you made my day. Thank you again.

[@kimjohnson4653]

All these dishes look so good. I’m so glad your back doing videos ❤️

[@fitmencook]

☺🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@nessa7013]

This video literally made me subscribe to your channel. This was so creative and you are absolutely right it gets boring and you lose interest eating the same thing five days straight. This is perfect to keep people on track.

[@fitmencook]

Thank you for this. 😊 made me smile

[@leahmalva1088]

THANK YOUUUUUUUU!!! This was my first meal prep ever! I haven’t been wanting to do this because meal prep sounds boring and time consuming but damn! YOU MADE IT SO EASY! using the same bowls and same pans? simple details but genius! Taste test approved by my picky teenager!

[@imilore9815]

First time here and I am definitely making this. I am pumped!

[@princessofpennypinchin]

Same!!

[@kathyczulinski1280]

Great video, Kev! I love the mix and match options. This is a Saved video for me. Cheers from Ontario.

[@Butternub567]

Love this because you know just what groceries to buy to feed you healthy meals the whole week

[@heidijenkins4968]

So glad that I just found your channel. Thank you!

[@lydiaz6779]

[@fitmencook]

[@timothylock-l9l]

You, sir, are brilliant! I am in shock at how easy yet diverse this all is. I can"t wait to try it

[@adakwizard]

Thank You Kevin. Times are hard and food is expensive. Thanks for showing/reminding how to take food that we purchase and fold them into a variety of tasty meals. Like that you are not afraid of spice. It isn't mentioned in the title, but this is healthy too! Peace Brother!

[@dny3260]

It was great watching how you cook and what spices you use. I’m going to your site to note your ingredients. I’m not as creative w my foods like you, and I seriously need help keeping my sugars/cholesterol down. You now have a new subscriber 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 please keep cooking 🧑🏻‍🍳 and sharing your videos. thank you.

Today is the first time I see one of your videos and that i now about you,So I'm a Mexican My mom as well she barely knows a couple of words in English and seeing that your video has the ingredients in Spanish is something that she's really gonna enjoy and it's gonna be so much easier for her to make the meals that you are sharing. Thank you and i appreciate this 😊

[@fitmencook]

Que bueno! Gracias por hacerme saber. Y saluda a tu mamá - ojalá a ella le encanten las recetas 🤞🏾

[@The_Double_Trouble]

AMAZING consept and such a great variety of combinations! Tastes amazing when just cooked, I wonder if chicken and veggies could be batch cooked and frozen for those very busy nights?

[@verysuccessfulmom]

All this looks amazing! Luckily I have most of the ingredients. I’m going to go get me the rest of the things I need. Thank you, awesome video ❤

[@Ehsanjan91]

[@mariadulinski5266]

This is a great way to plan and make ahead meals, thank you

[@rpastore5429]

Hi Kevin, Great video! I just read about your meal prep planning on NPR. On item 4, grains (beyond brown rice), you mentioned you've been into faro. I cook daily and also like to spend Sundays making things that will end up being used during the week. So, might I also suggest Italian Barley. It's nutritious, relatively quick, easy to make, and seems to pair well with almost anything. Anyway, thank you for your helpful tips (especially your way of making chickpeas). I'm a firm believer that no matter how long I've been cooking, I can always learn something new and useful.

[@fitmencook]

great suggestion and I love barley as well! you're right it cooks up pretty easy, too. thanks for following up after the NPR article!

[@boydmayweather]

Love this! And love to see you back making vids again 🤙🏽

[@fitmencook]

boom 👊🏾 appreciate you rocking with the channel!

[@patriciamckay384]

Hi, just a question, is all these meals eaten cold?, how long do they keep? I really enjoyed this video as I have commented on various meal prep videos “ how can you eat the same meal everyday?” It must be so boring. So you were a breath of fresh air doing all these variable meals and you made it look so easy. Keep them coming 🙏

[@jennifers5778]

This is excelent. Spices up my meal preps anzmd for my special needs son!

[@poopoomcgee123]

[@hassansyed6087]

Immediately subscribed. Love the cooking man. Keep it going

[@2inchsteel]

Love this!! Would love to see sections on your website/app dedicated to single ingredients/foods. Like a section for broccoli or veggies (like the fajita veggies), a section on different ways to prepare just chicken (I struggle so bad!) so we can mix and match the different foods. Love using your app to try new recipes, just wish it was easier to search for chicken only / veggie only / potatoes only etc! Hope that made sense, loved the video and would love to see more mix and match meal prep options!

[@fitmencook]

this is a good idea - gonna take it back to the team!

[@AAA77444]

❤ hi thank you so much for the video! We have kids and of course meal prepping is a must to save time. I like your idea of mixing and matching. Keep up the videos they’re super helpful.❤

Can I use soaked chickpeas overnight or should i boil them before roasting? Thank you very much!

What is the brand of pan that you used to cook the chickpeas? Thank you.

[@voiceofclarity5585]

Looks great!

[@reemomar5145]

Would you microwave it with the avocado?

[@drew_drew12]

So I have a question: How long would these 10 meals last? Is it lunch and dinner for 5 days? My concern is whether the food would be safe to eat 5 days after cooking? I have heard rice and chicken are particularly risky is left for too long?

[@venternicky9599]

Can you show us the warm up process?❤

[@robertoalvarez7804]

Wow, this is an awesome meal prep. It really looks delicious. I will try it out Followed by an update to see how it does for me.
