HEALTHY EATING GAME PLAN | simple meal prep for the week

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

In this video, I am sharing how I approach meal prep for a healthy week of eating! The key is to keep things simple and delicious! Would love to hear what works for you as well. XO-Dani

[@SuziJacuzzie]

Hi Danni, I have been searching for it here in the UK, I found them( LMNT) 😊 thanks Dani !

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

@@SuziJacuzzie Yay! Enjoy.

[@PrimeDirective101]

Love that this wasn't a litany of forbidden foods. I lean towards how you are doing it. To say no bread, no potatoes just short circuits my mind and backfires, every time.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Creating forbidden foods have always backfired for me!

[@dina6699]

I’m glad you went back to this. It feels like your Clean and Delicious content from a few years ago, which I loved….. all the best. D

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Thank you!

[@stepheniefleegle2535]

I love frozen veggies to mix into crock pot meals or to steam in the microwave. To me fresh is best but in a busy season of life it’s a huge time saver and I learned I think from C&D that frozen produce is picked at peak ripeness and nutrients 👍🏼

[@jillsuhr6381]

Thank you so much, Dani. With a million people who support and guide clean, healthy eating, I choose to follow only a few, and you are one of the best! I love your recipes, your straightforward explanations, and your practice os showing the purchased or completed items you refer to. Thank you and blessings!

[@seasonsofphilly1993]

I've been following your plan for a while now, Dani, and it has truly helped me stay on track with my healthy eating. Prepping veggies for salads and snacks is part of my Sunday routine. I also hardboil a few eggs and poach/roast chicken breasts. I also bake two sweet or yellow potatoes, as I find them a great vehicle for chicken or even roasted asparagus.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Love this. These little hacks can make a big difference.

[@zigzagpaz]

Thanx so much Dani, you always inspire me. I made your hummus platter a few days ago - so good! One of my new things is fruit compote with some coconut milk or cream - just soak dried fruits in boiled water for half an hour then boil it, I add some cinnamon and stevia and let it boil for about half an hour, and the flavors concentrate and it's delicious when cooled with the coconut milk. You can add yogurt but I'm off dairy for now as I am down with flu or something xoxox

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Thanks for sharing this idea! It sounds delicious. I'm so glad you made the hummus platter, and I hope you feel better soon. XO

[@linp1268]

Such amazing advice as always Dani. I have fallen out of a routine of preparing veggies and fruits etc, in advance. It really does make a huge difference to eating well and not feeling stressed when we come home after a long day at work and we are tired and we realize we have so much to do. Because of you, I am paying so much more attention to my protein intake at every meal. Thanks Dani!!!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

I'm so glad the videos and tips are helpful. It's all a practice. XO

[@May570]

Thank you for the tips! Would love to see a video on your Cauliflower Taco Meat recipe and how you use it with other meal variations for the week please?

[@BH-zx4dm]

Not prepping them...not eating them!!!! Exactly!!!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Wise minds! ;)

[@brigithrivas40]

I tend to struggle with not prepping my meals ahead of time. And it's so easy to buy fast food at the moment. This video was so helpful in preventing that issue. Thank you!

[@missmrice91]

This video is so helpful. It’s so true when you try to eat healthy you end up making it so complicated with new recipes it just needs to be simple!

[@kirstylynn3723]

Love Love Love!!!! Thank you for providing plant based options for us that can't handle dairy! Love your channel

[@transientbeing2012]

I love your recipes because they don't scrimp on flavor. Could you please link the ones you talk about in this video as well? That beef with jalapeno sounds delicious. Thanks Dani.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Yes! I will link them above. Here is the recipe for the beef tips- > cleananddelicious.com/slow-cooker-beef-tips-with-onion-and-jalapeno/

[@dawnkeckley7502]

The broccoli stalks are amazing if you cut them into coins and roast them with oil, salt, and pepper. Also, if you suddenly find you need to use the vegetables faster than you thought, you could always make a soup with them.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

yes! I agree... I mak broccoli stem soup often.

[@chrchab]

Congrats for this amazing video and your dedication to make it! Thanks so much for all the valuable information about health and nutrition that you always share❤❤

[@johnmunsell5266]

Love your videos. They have really helped me clean up my diet over time. Love the little outtake at the end too.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching and am so glad they are helpful.

[@dianebliquez4852]

I love that you put cauliflower in your taco meat. I have to try that! Also, I’m going to try raw fennel now! Love your approach and realistic goals for healthy yummy eating!

[@beachtopeakrunning]

Meal prep saves me as a mom and a runner. Track Tuesday and Taco Tuesday are not mutually exclusive because I can cook the meat and/or beans in advance. When I was in weight loss mode my favorite lunch to prep was a cauliflower fried rice bowl 🍚 with shrimp and light yum yum sauce on the side. Absolutely delicious and it satisfied my craving for Asian style food.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

That stirfry sounds delicious!

[@hortensejones4050]

@beachtopeakrunning Would love that recipe pls!?

[@mkathrynblacker5960]

I love your approach to food!! Have picked up so many low carb, paleo, etc cookbooks thinking " This is it! This will help get me on track, all in one place." Only to put them right back down a short time later after thumbing through the BORING, BLAND recipes. I wholeheartedly support your concept of not fighting yourself. I know they're not the best, but I have some zero sugar cookies that I go to. They help me so much in my hopeless, out of control moments - without the extra sugar and carbs that my brain thinks it's getting. 😁

[@marygrott8095]

I really like the suggestion of prepping ground meat and riced cauliflower! I'm definitely going to incorporate that tip. Amd I just made your shredd chicken once again. It quickly became a staple in my house because of how simple it is to prepare

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Yes! The cauliflower added to the meat is so easy and delish! Great way to boost up veggies, volume, and fiber.

[@peggymann925]

Thank you Dani! This is fantastic. I have your book on Kindle but there's no substitute for a full color, real person! All your advice and hints make perfect sense!

[@scarlettlittman6941]

Great ideas! Glad I watched this before I went to the grocery store. Could you make a video about herbs and how you use them? I have a ton coming out of my garden and need ideas.

[@arlenecoury9976]

Super ideas for Back to School ! Prep ahead ot save on time, during a busy week. Also, I will plan my shopping list, by simple wiring SALE in the produce section for example, in order ot save $. I always look for leafy greens, organic fruit etc.

[@amanda-sv7qr]

I appreciate your meal planning tips - I need to do more of it myself! I love my potatoes in potato salad personally, and I make it with 3/4 Greek yogurt and 1/4 lowfat avocado or olive oil mayo instead of just mayo and add hard-boiled eggs for even more protein plus 3-4x the veggies (chopped onion and celery) that the recipe calls for. It's just enough mayo to provide the right taste. I might try cooking the (pre-cracked/opened) eggs in a loaf pan in the oven so I can add some liquid egg whites next time too. Btw I use the same Greek yogurt/mayo trick with anything that calls for mayo - deviled eggs, tuna salad, creamy salad dressings, etc. - and add extra onion, celery, and capers to my tuna salad too.

[@MelissaChernovsky-mh6xv]

Haven't been eating the best lately so I'm glad to see your videos like this to remind me it's easy with some planning and prepping. Going to Destin, FL soon so I watched your road trip video also, great tips there too. Thank you.

[@mamachicken1548]

Love this meal prep video Dani!! I learned to do your veg prep years ago and I've been doing it for the last like 9 years. Thanks for the wonderful healthy habit you taught me.

[@barbiec4312]

Hey Daniel - Happy Friday 😊 So, I try to think ahead about my meals and got better after my boys got outta school lol they were 3 sport athletes which made it difficult to manage meals most of the time. Now, I can relax and prep with almost being an empty nester. I love your channel and thanks for these great ideas to improve my choices and yes, we cannot always stay on track all the time because Friday night is pizza nite in our home 😆 have a gorgeous weekend, cheers!

I'm so glad to hear it!! Enjoy the book and thanks for watching.

[@mysticseraph2213]

"If I'm not prepping them, I'm not eating them". OMG, this is totally me! If I prep some veggies, it's amazing how I'll grab some of those instead of hunting in the cupboard/freezer for some simpler carbs like chips/bread. EDIT: oooh, the convenient protein sources vid! I missed that one, and have just queued up, because i am sure that is going to be super helpful! (as it is, I'm already surprised I can just make better use of high protein cottage cheese - yum - as my protein source!)

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

YES!! I'm the same - it's so much easier to eat veggies when they are prepped. And I hope you enjoy the protein video - let me know!

[@cheryl5218]

Great video. You are very inspirational and I am glad I recently came across your videos. I enjoy potatoes all the time. One of my favorite ways to eat them is the mini potatoes cut like coins, sprinkled with paprika and a little bit of popcorn sprinkle. Salt and vinegar is my favorite popcorn added flavor. Then air fry them. Thank you.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Those potatoes sound delicious!

[@awquerida7602]

Nice video. I always learn so much from you. You look great BTW. I didn't see a link to the video that would demo some recipes for me. They were the ones you mentioned in the video showing how to use some of what you prepped. I also did one of your programs a few years back that included lectures and I think they were Zoom calls. They were over a few weeks. I learned a lot then. I find my trouble spot is: "okay, I made all of these things, now what do I do with them?" I'm always looking for quick and easy things. As I've gotten older, I want to be in the kitchen less. Sometimes I have a craving for one thing, but I don't want it in my refrig for a week. It gets chucked. Thanks for all you do.

Do I store it in the freezer or the fridge? I can't ever do this because I'm always afraid to eat food that has gone bad. HELP!

The general rule of thumb... if it smells good, it's good. BUT - otherwise 4-5 days is a safe bet.

I love lentils and every time I try to cook them. It’s a disaster so I would love to know the source of the steamed lentils. Thank you, this is an excellent video!!❤

They are usually in the produce sections by the pre-cooked artichokes and seamed beets (vacuum sealed!). If you don't see them, ask! They almost always have them - Trader Joes as well!
