[@shiying98]

Hey Alyssia, would you be interested in making a zero-waste series? It'd be cool to watch how you could come up with dishes while being environmentally friendly at the same time :)

[@MindOverMunch]

yes! I am working on some food waste episodes :)

[@mssamandsarah]

I think you should make more of these esp with quarantines on the rise

[@MindOverMunch]

thanks for the request :)

[@katierosefun7722]

So early! But already a few minutes in, and I think the blueberry-blackberry twist on chicken is really unique!

[@MindOverMunch]

Always so much better in season! And thank you :)

[@valerianeth]

wow. I absolutely loved your video. I love all of them really but for some reason this one got me!

[@MindOverMunch]

That's awesome, thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one especially :)

[@SunShineElaine]

great video 😊 I love that I can almost always count on you giving us a vegan option!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you, I try to have something for everyone!

[@xfortunesquex]

Excellent! I didn't know containers like that were a thing, and they look to be much more shallow and food-safe than my current tupperware. I have chronic pain, so videos like this are extremely helpful. Doing meal prep and making extra to freeze on days I feel good helps me on bad days. I'd love to see more of this, especially seasonal recipes!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you, they are helpful! :) More to come!

[@Blue-zb2zg]

OMG this was AMAZING. I'm going to the store right now. Definitely want more content like this! Thank you!!!

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome!!

[@Bubbleboxlab_ca]

YES!!!! More more more freezer meals for all the family. Bigger freezer meals to prepare for a busy fall.. back to hockey mom life and need to have things to pull out since i live at the hockey rink!

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome! More to come!

[@deborateixeira1031]

I love your recipes! I'm brazilian and we love flavor and you always have that in your recipes! Keep them coming!!

Thank you so much! Glad you liked the seasonal aspect :) we certainly ate them ASAP!

[@NaturallyMani93]

[@dalilinsanekid]

I was just thinking yesterday that I need to look on KZbin for some meals I can freeze so I can have prepared food whenever. then today, you solve my problem. this is not the first time you've done this. Lol. I love your channel!

[@MindOverMunch]

haha, perfect timing! :) Thank you!

[@emmaraekidd]

Your channel is fantastic anyway, but this video is one of my favorites! With school coming back around and a hectic schedule not everyone sits down to eat at the same time. This saves us from grabbing take out!!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much!!

[@kcurtin1]

I'm drooling over that jam/BBQ sauce!! I need that in my life. Loved the intro!!! 😄❤️

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you!!

[@lizzettei5831]

Hi I love the intro! Thanks for giving us healthy frozen meal alternatives instead of those higher sodium frozen meals. You rock!

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you!! :)

[@Sirsockbuddy]

how do you pump out these quality vids so frequently?! you're amazing!! #blessed

[@MindOverMunch]

haha, we are workaholics, I think... 😁 Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy!

[@kath2oo4]

I love your channel! so many great ideas, goofy intros, and a poptart rap! (fave vid)

[@MindOverMunch]

HA thank you!! That poptart video was so fun :)

[@constanceyoungman6087]

Yay! I have been looking for something just like this

[@MindOverMunch]

[@jomarch4109]

Amazing yet simple recipes as usual! Yummy! 👌

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome, thank you!

[@JayJay-gg3gu]

Yay! I am very happy about this video!

[@MindOverMunch]

I'm so glad!!

[@davehugstrees]

Great video. I used to eat frozen dinners all the time, but I found so much stuff in my food like glass and feathers that I just had to stop buying them. Making your own is an awesome idea.

[@MindOverMunch]

so glad you liked it, thanks!

[@Micawber1410]

love this! more diy frozen meals please 😊😊

[@MindOverMunch]

ok great! Thanks :)

[@dawaidbristol18]

Great meals they look delicious .. just what i need to start my after gym meals .. THANKS

[@MindOverMunch]

[@mshockey73]

The berry glaze for the chicken dish looks delicious Alyssia. I just got back from our local blueberry farm and picked a bucketful so I'm needing recipes to use them up:)

[@MindOverMunch]

that's so awesome!! I love blueberry picking!!

[@laurenjesch7108]

These are awesome!! I'm so glad I found your channel! Definitely one of my new favorites :-)

[@MindOverMunch]

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much!!

[@peachTplum]

That berry bbq sauce sounds amazing. Thanks so much!

[@MindOverMunch]

My pleasure! I thought it was so tasty :)

[@ravensdreamsx]

oh wow I love this idea. I'm due in September and plan on doing the large dinner freezer meals but these would be awesome to add so I can have an easy lunch! And since I have allergies I can't have most processed frozen dinners.

[@MindOverMunch]

Awesome so glad these ideas will be useful for you!! :)

[@HeyLookItsAmy]

It's winter in Australia and I'll be honest... I've been relying a bit too much on freezer dinners. They're just so easy and convenient when I get home from long day of work and it's cold and dark and I just want to pop something straight from the freezer to the microwave to my belly! This video has come just in time for me. I'm going to get aside a day to make some freezer-friendly dinners and fill my freezer drawers with them so I have no more excuses to buy those crappy freezer dinners!!! Thanks for the ideas and inspiration as always

[@MindOverMunch]

I am so glad you found it useful, thank you!!

[@la_summer928]

Part 2 😭😭 I love your videos. Ive been binge watching

[@MindOverMunch]

I'm so glad you're enjoying, thank you!! Glad to have you here :)

[@clarabreidenich3159]

And again, a really cool video! Especially with the "seasonal-sticker". It would be great if you could do this in some more videos. Thanks for these recipes😍

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome! More to come :) Thanks!

[@tpcpca]

I love the way your dog "fainted" when you admitted that not all your pizza related items were healthy. Once again, dear girl, you pulled another fantastic video of great healthy alternatives. Hats off to you.

[@MindOverMunch]

lol!! Thank you so much :)

[@sabresister]

I was legit about to go out and buy some frozen meals from the grocery store I never even considered making my own!! I can't wait to try this out myself :)

[@MindOverMunch]

So cool!! Very glad these meals gave you some inspiration :) :)

[@TheVzala]

Yay! Love the freezer meals

[@MindOverMunch]

Awesome I'm so glad! :)

[@pegasusdancing]

My favorite summer seasonal ingredients are sweet corn, watermelon, fresh peas of all kinds (green, field, lady, black-eyed, etc), and tomatoes.

[@MindOverMunch]

YUM excellent choices! Corn and watermelon are at the top of my list, too! :)

[@Ultre]

Not very often I do this, but I watched this ONE video and subscribed. Awesome channel

[@MindOverMunch]

[@faithmarino4879]

Thank you for always trying to incorporate vegan options into your videos! 😊

[@MindOverMunch]

My pleasure!

[@juhikapoor5569]

Enjoyed the video as always! The Farro looks yummy! So the zucchini dinner!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you!!

[@alexwest2689]

I find the task of chopping up fruits and veggies daunting. Can you do a video on tips and tricks how to go from the store to meal prep ready? Love your videos - even my kids look forward to watching them and picking out their favorite meals.

[@MindOverMunch]

great idea, thank you!

[@gabrielle6706]

These look amazing!

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you!!

[@makisenokuchi6995]

thanks for sharing the ideas! i like the yin and yang salt and pepper, how did u make it so perfect everytime?

[@MindOverMunch]

thanks! And haha, it is less interesting than you might think...

[@Piggilywiggilymom]

Hi there!! I just bought some 3 compartment containers and would really, really appreciate more of these meal prep ideas. I like this style of meal prep a lot! It is really straight forward and is honestly exciting to have these meals planned out instead of me having to think of meals on my own lol. It is awesome to just buy these ingredients throw them together and go on with my week.

[@MindOverMunch]

That's awesome, I'm glad you like this format! There are many other meal prep ideas on the channel, any of which you can throw into compartmentalized containers :) you might like some of these ideas! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqm3oHewiK57abM kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJrHYXaMhqh3qJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnPHhKWFrLucopI

Lovely recipes...Alyssia,. thanks for uploading

[@MindOverMunch]

my pleasure, thank you!

[@wolfm2576]

Love it

[@billiepais260]

Hey Alyssia, I love watching your channel. I was wondering if you could do a superfoods explanation video/ what superfoods are actually good for you? That would be very helpful 😊

[@MindOverMunch]

Hi Billie! I don't have a superfoods video, but I do have a blog about superfoods if you'd like to check it out :) mindovermunch.com/2017/06/29/sneaky-superfoods/

[@fitzgerald916]

I literally laughed out loud at the intro, especially since I was just watching the news before your video! These are fabulous meal prep ideas. I began freezing my meal prep recently and wondered why it took so long for me to do so. GAME CHANGER.

[@MindOverMunch]

HA that's amazing! So glad you got a laugh :) and that you like these ideas! Thanks for the feedback, Ryan :)

[@joobebe8123]

All looks yummy! Definitely going to veganize the first one by simply swapping chicken for gardein scallopini!

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome!

[@MaskedVocaloid]

you put so much work into your videos i love ittt. especially your intros. 😂❤

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so much, Josh! We work hard to make great content, so glad it shows :) and the intros are always a blast to shoot!

[@skylaranderson3813]

Always love your intros!! So creative!

[@MindOverMunch]

[@MindOverMunch]

[@jennas84100]

This was awesome. I can't wait to make some of these :)

[@MindOverMunch]

Yay glad you liked these ideas! :)

[@kyungseokpark2032]

This is what I looking for several days! My life has been upgraded.

[@jamiecee4960]

Love these. I been doing meal prep and eating clean. And most days no meat. You can make them simple and easy. Keep them coming. :) I did learn a tip from you though. Thaw them out the night before you heat one up the next day. I been just putting them straight in the microwave they take too long to thaw. :) Ty for that tip. Oh could also use George Forman grill if you don't have a penini press.

[@MindOverMunch]

So glad this was useful for you!! Thanks for the feedback :) :) and the tip about the grill!
