I seriously needed all of this detail. That's not sarcasm. I learned nothing about being an adult or preparing healthy meals while growing up. I'm surviving by the grace of God and the internet.

[@lyndysimpson1272]

The best way to get kids to eat vegetables is to have them grow a garden and grow it and they're so excited

[@elfriedeschmidt4033]

I really appreciated watching this video. Lots of good tips. I do have one to add for those who are averse to using paper towels (as I am). I purchased on Amazon flour sack tea towels, which are super absorbent and washable! I cut them to fit my containers and use them at the bottom and the top to absorb moisture. They work really well. Hope that helps someone out there!

[@ruthtorphy2204]

Love this idea🙏

[@bonnierobertson1362]

What an awesome idea. Do you think (Dollar Store) cloth shop towels would do the same?

[@carmenbailey1560]

Love this process, I do the same for myself ( hubby won’t eat salad 😩) minus the tomatoes. I do wash my romaine with water/vinegar, spin in spinner, then laid out on towels to dry, the store with a half piece of paper towel.This has been done for years now. Thanks for sharing your process. 👍❤️😊

[@NutmegNotebook]

Great idea!!

[@doreenhutton2550]

OMG, thank you Tami for the crisp and delicious salad! What a Difference chopping the greens! Yummmm We are Delighted and will enjoy our salads all week! I ❤️your fun, nutritional and delicious recipes/ videos. Kudos, Tami & Tom👏

[@NutmegNotebook]

Thank you! Enjoy your salads. 🥙

[@brendafarris7350]

Thx for this impromptu salad prep video. Love it. And don't let the thumbs down bother you! Way more positive viewers.

[@NutmegNotebook]

I appreciate that!

[@marshaberland2248]

I made a core salad - with lots of veggies and store in a container, then when I want a salad I bring some kale, romaine, tomatoes, cucumer and add 2 or some cups

[@nanacheryl1]

I make homemade made spaghetti sauce, a cut a mushrooms, peppers and onions and beets . You may want to shred them. Then I put my tomatoes sauce in food processor and blend it all. Well you can even add kale or spinach to then put it back on the pot and heat it up and add your favorite spices. The kids don’t know that they’re eating vegetables they love

[@susanwaterworth5622]

Thank you for directing me here; I like leaving the romaine whole and more 'keeping things dry' tips. Thanks a lot!

[@angelm.bouchard3722]

Thanks for this video. I was looking for information on making salads in jars. Unfortunately, a lot of those videos are basically the same. So I did a search for salads made in advance and got this video. I’m glad you made your salads without bell peppers. I love red bell peppers but, when I made salad in a jar for a week the peppers didn’t hold up.

[@larawillingham3174]

I've been batch-prepping my salads for years. I have a big Tupperware bowl (a real Tupperware bowl, I think it's called a "Mega Bowl") and it has a lid, which works so well! I love your video! I've learned so much! Especially about keeping everything dry and what not to add for lasting longer. Also, making sure everything is as fresh as possible. I learn so much from your videos, Tami. You're a real blessing!

[@NutmegNotebook]

Thank you for watching. I’m glad you found it helpful. 🥗

[@Bushcraft242]

Great channel dr furman dr Bernard I followed over 10 years

[@pattywatson7883]

Enjoyed this video. Love to prep my salads for the week, also. I have used the zip lock containers and the bags. I find the containers keep my salads fresher. Thanks for your videos.

[@NutmegNotebook]

Thank you for sharing about the containers working better than the bags.

[@heidiwiner5822]

You are helping me immensely and I thank you and Tom for that! As another person asked, what are the other items you batch cook so they are available to put meals together quickly. If you already have done videos on that please let me know...🙂

[@NutmegNotebook]

Check out our Sauces blog post and video www.nutmegnotebook.com/posts/healthy-vegan-sauces-to-make-delightfully-delicious-dishes/

[@miniski345]

I add red or green seedless grapes to my batch salads. Yum!

[@NutmegNotebook]

Nathalie Laforest sounds good!

[@torreb3107]

I ❤ fresh salads ❣ "THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO , IT'S A GREAT IDEA" !!!!

[@NutmegNotebook]

You are welcome! 🥗

[@dianelamoureux112]

You guys are just so loveable! You make a great team, interesting, fun to watch and I always learn something new, even though I am experienced with cooking. Thank you for all you do, truly inspiring!

[@NutmegNotebook]

Thank you! ♥️

[@susanstoermer2972]

I’m trying this this week. Just ordered knife and bowl. I just love chopped salad. Thought for prep is the baby cucumbers you see in the stores now. I’m going to get a bag of those and add whole in my container then salad will have cucumber without added prep. Thanks for the videos I’ve been enjoying catching up with you. I’m not a vegan but looking for healthier habits and this will help me get my veg everyday.

[@riaedmond11]

It’s thanksgiving here in Canada, so Happy Thanksgiving to all from Canada 🥬🥒🥦🥕🌽🧄🍠

[@NutmegNotebook]

Ria Edmond HappyThanksgiving!

[@riaedmond11]

Thank you!

[@apple369]

Thank you! I've been hoping you'd do an updated salad prep video and surprise, here it is.

[@NutmegNotebook]

apple369 I’m glad it was helpful!

[@t10mcg]

Thanks for the spontaneous video. I enjoy your videos. What is the size of the boxed spinach & kale? And what starches to you prep weekly? I love eating WFPB & SOS free but I struggle with meal planning. Prepping salads and starches for the week is a great idea, I wonder how you decided what else to make for the week. Do you make a breakfast, and second meal plan or just "wing it" for the other meals?

[@NutmegNotebook]

They are 1 pound containers.We batch prep starches as needed, potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, quinoa and oat groats. The grains we divide up and freeze in smaller containers so we can thaw them out as needed. See my videos on batch prepping! It’s such a time saver.

[@waynesmith6351]

What do you eat for dinner usually if you have the salad for lunch? This is such a great idea because my husband and I make salad for lunch and dinner! Such a time saver!!

[@NutmegNotebook]

I eat a variety of things for the other meal. Veggie burger - no bun, soup, chili, Ponachos, Nurish Bowl, rice and beans, stuffed baked potato, air fried no oil smashed potatoes with veggies on the side. Check out my Instagram account for photos and ideas!

[@britg8763]

I just found your channel and I am obsessed! So many great ideas and tips! You and your husband are so sweet! I love everything you’re doing, it’s so all helpful! Lots of love from Canada !

[@NutmegNotebook]

Glad you found us! Join us @ 4:00 PM Pacific for our live show!

[@lizzichi86]

I ran out and got a salad spinner when I found a beetle in a big container of the earthbound farms organic spinach. I had been taking a bit of spinach from the container every day for several days before I found the beetle hanging out in there 😣! Now everything is triple-washed by me no matter what!

[@NutmegNotebook]

Oh no!

[@u4me4fun]

Thank you for the update to salad prep. You both are such a blessing!

[@NutmegNotebook]

Our pleasure!

[@susancrowe3999]

Wonderful video! Thank you both so much for all you do!!

Thank you for this! You look so great after a 4 mile walk! ;)

[@NutmegNotebook]

Kim Ward thank you!

[@gocynthia]

This is so helpful, gave me a lot of ideas. Also, I never thought to use the ulu or mezzaluna knife and chopping bowl which i saw in your other video, which I now plan to buy lol. ty very much!!

[@julieberg8236]

Great video! I find myself laughing often at some of your 'back and forths' with Tom such as the one of 6 children comments. Thanks for walking us through the salad prep!

[@NutmegNotebook]

Julie Berg thank you for watching! 😀

[@taze_reshi1571]

Wow obviously takes a lil effort to eat this way!! I am educating myself so I can eat WFPB when I’ve mostly eaten SAD diet most my 36yrs of life- starting tomorrow!!! Thankyou

[@NutmegNotebook]

You can do it!

[@Reete2]

Thank you so much. ???? Question. What is the quart size of your stainless mixing bowl???? You two are so amazing and helpful. I have been eating plant based for 3 years, but I have learned even more from you and you two are truly a blessing.

[@deborafoor5038]

I haven't watched this particular video thru all the way yet, but in a previous video, Tami says she uses a 13 quart Tramontina Pro Line stainless steel bowl from Costco. She says this is the video titled Batch Prepping Chopped Salad and Holland Wood Bowl dated March 6, 2018. It's a shorter video at 26:14 and she demonstrates and describes the bowl in the first few minutes.

[@Islandgirl5270]

Tami, I noticed in this video you did not add apples or your mandarin oranges? Have you stopped adding that to your salads? Also, do you add other veggies to each salad on the day that you eat them, ie red pepper or cucumber or celery? Thank you again so much for this video!

[@amycaruthers7858]

Tom, what steamed veggies do you have for lunch?

[@vegknitter]

Hi great video. Please can you tell me what is in the bag of broccoli slaw. We don't get this in the UK x

[@NutmegNotebook]

It’s just shredded broccoli stems and shredded carrots. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@HeatherMoreau]

I think I’m missing the second half of what you’re doing for these salads! After you do all this prep then you are doing additional prep each day that you have a salad for all the toppings? Or do you separately prepare a big bowl of fruit and veggies that you will use as a topping for the salads?

[@NutmegNotebook]

I am sorry it was confusing. I batch prep these salads and then each day I take it and turn it into a chopped salad and then I add starch, fruit and other yummy ingredients to make it into a satisfying meal. Like this one I made in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5WkYayplqd5bKM

[@charlenewagoner9523]

Thank you for sharing. Looks delicious 😋

[@NutmegNotebook]

My pleasure 😊

[@erintshah]

Hi, New to your channel. Thank you for posting this thorough salad batch prep video! I'm wondering if you have any tips on making this for 1 person = 7 servings? I typically shop at Costco, Trader Joe's and Sprouts. I also have a Whole Foods nearby. I'm wondering how best to alter the quantities without compromising on the wide assortment of ingredients. Thank you!

[@NutmegNotebook]

Just buy and use half of what I use - purchase smaller quantities.

[@erintshah]

Thank you, that is what I've done. I buy the large pack of Romaine from Costco. I use one head per Ziploc 9cup box and top with kale from Whole Foods, matchstick carrots, etc. I'm weighing them out to 12oz. Your batch prepped (chopped) salads are fantastic and such a great base for a variety of toppings and flavor profiles from sos free wfpb dressings. I've already lost 5 pounds towards my desired healthy goal weight in 2.5 weeks. From not the healthiest vegan to a fully wfpb sos free vegan feels so energizing!! Thank you Tami and Tom.

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@erintshah that is wonderful! Keep up the good work!

[@debbiepalmer1094]

Such a great video, thanks. x

[@NutmegNotebook]

Glad it was helpful!

[@miguelangeljimenez7399]

Do you wash the salad ingredients the (greens, slaw, cabbage, carrots) before you chop and eat it? Or do you wash everything before you prep and put in the zip lock containers?? Or do wash it right before when you put in the bowl and chop it??? Will appreciate your help and information so much. Love your channel and keep the videos coming :) :) Looking forward to your reply!!

[@NutmegNotebook]

I wash before I prep and buy prewashed where I can.

[@maryanthony6192]

Thank you this was great.

[@NutmegNotebook]

You are welcome!

[@Lindinaagrusa1]

????Great video thank you. So you shop on Thursday, assemble on Friday and don’t eat them Saturday and Sunday and then start using them Monday thru Friday. Is that correct?Just trying to get my timing down.

[@NutmegNotebook]

I make them when we run out and we start eating them then. The timing can vary. If we have company and I use a prepped salad to serve them I will run out sooner. Sometimes I’ll have salad fur 2 meals on the same day. If we eat out and don’t eat salads one day I’ll have extra. It’s not cut and dry exactly the same each week. When we are close to using up the last salads I make more.

[@nadinemerrick1255]

????when you chop your salad do you remove the tomatoes first? If not, do they go mushy with all the chopping????

[@MR-cj8uw]

Gloves are the way to go less human touch to the salads at Best . Nicely done!

[@anitas6698]

????Do you know how much space the prepped salad takes? Don't think that would fit in my small v fridge????

[@NutmegNotebook]

Anita S try using smaller containers or large ziplock bags instead.

[@waynesmith6351]

What is the link to Heather who made a gluten free pizza crust?

[@maryharris8417]

what do you eat with your salads please, sorry i didnt get to see the program

I don't even worry with Romain. I try to double up on the darker greens. Are there some benefits to the Romain?

[@NutmegNotebook]

I like the taste and texture of romaine in my salads.

[@itssammierose]

Curious about that beet boost you have there

[@happyc3789]

Tami do you speed walk? How long does it take to walk 4 miles

[@NutmegNotebook]

about 1 hour, 15 to 16 minute miles

[@gabrielchambers2117]

????what was the Holland Bowl promotion? Is it too late to get it now?????

[@NutmegNotebook]

It is still going, Details are in the description and also in a video we did on the 24th kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3ilk4WneLBloas

[@elizabetha1077]

At 52:22 time your sound goes off. I do not hear anything from the video. I have tried different speaker n even different laptops.

[@NutmegNotebook]

We have put in an edit with KZbin to delete the few minutes where the sound went out. It is still "Processing" There is a bit more video after the sound comes back at 54:20 Thanks

[@BillieM1965]

Why do you want a wooden bowl?

[@cendril2]

When it's cold I hate eating something cold ... Any tips

[@NutmegNotebook]

Make a Mexican chopped salad -are my video- where you heat up the toppings and serve them over the chopped salad. Heat up a serving of chili or my Hearty Lentil Stew - see the video- snd serve it over a chopped salad. My husband warms up his salad in a glass bowl for a minute to take the chill off before adding hot toppings. Heat up rice beans and corn and top your salads with it. So good!

[@cendril2]

Amazing tips thanks

[@cendril2]

What is broccoli slaw, from someone who only buys whole broccoli.

[@susancrowe3999]

It's broccoli stems/stalks that's shredded up to a "slaw" form. Very good stuff! I usually make my own. That way I use the entire broccoli stalk.

[@NutmegNotebook]

shredded broccoli stalks with addition of shredded carrots.
