Pro tip from my grandmother: if you cut the strawberries in half before storing in the fridge they will stay fresh longer because the moisture inside of them will be released.

[@devilrocks7919]

Thanks

[@missyrabbit5250]

grandmas are the best! my grandmas were so knowledgeable. they reused everything. chicken bones=stock, dry bread=croutons, or used to soak up too much salt in soups/broth, etc.

[@Simplyluwi]

Wow , thank you for this 🙏🏾

[@cartiermccloud4716]

My mother always removed the tops, cut them up & rinse them in a colander. After the water drained out, she lined a container with a paper towel & put them in the fridge. They last all week & that's what I do with strawberries.

[@zahraali7905]

Thanks

[@cammeron3]

I love how practical and realistic this meal prep is! Lots of great ideas on cutting down costs, reducing waste, and repurposing containers. The lack of fluff is what appealed to me, super down to earth and applicable.

[@beckpender]

I love how you are so thrilled with the "drying rack". that is exactly what we older humans used for drying our dishes, before we had dishwashers.

[@sexyeyezsina]

So funny...lol

[@raquelguerra3149]

Right 😂

[@RTMarx]

lol we poor students have it as well, it's not uncommon

[@featheredcoyote5477]

Hahaha!!! I thought the exact same thing! I was like "uhhh... I use that to dry my dishes after washing". 40 yrs old and still haven't used a dishwasher other than these 2 hands😁

[@featheredcoyote5477]

@Jojo Moa strongly disagree. I've seen my mother in law hand wash the dishes to then put into the dishwasher. I'm like, "you're already washing by hand so just finish them!" Not to mention you have gotta be using way more electricity on the dishwasher than someone who hand washes.

[@stacies4192]

I clean all fruits & veggies with apple cider vinegar & or baking soda. Great way to tackle those pesticides. You still gave great tips. Thank you!

[@VolleyballMama]

Stacie L. Strand I’ve been doing distilled vinegar and water. Is the raw apple cider vinegar better you think? I haven’t tried with baking soda yet. Thank you for your input!

[@stacies4192]

@@VolleyballMama You're very welcome. I honestly believe they both work just the same. I also buy distilled vinegar as well. Yes, give baking soda a try.... I even use it as my mouthwash! It's TASTELESS & CHEAP! 😊

[@frankierolover1]

You can't actually wash off pesticides. If it is sprayed on the crop it gets into the soil and water which the plant absorbs. So the pesticide gets into ever cell of the plant and can't be cleaned off.

[@EB-ok3io]

Stacie L. Strand I also use sea salt with the ACV. Great tip!

[@ashleycarpenter2981]

Wouldn't organic just be better? It comes with pesticides but they are plant based pesticides so they are water soluble

[@pinkeangst]

Thank you for making this Conscientious, and practical video. So many vloggers just show everything after it’s already been prepped and gloss over the details. I also think that there is way too much packaging for food these days, and too much plastic trash in the world!

[@jennamarie2428]

Try cutting your cucumber, then keeping them emerged in water and take them out as you eat them! Keeps them so crispy ♥️

[@carmenwheatley7316]

Jenna Marie. I like mine in vinegar with a little salt in the jar. You can just cut more and add to the liquid when you finish a jar. It gives a little zing to them.

[@gamergal1828]

Carmen Wheatley I believe that is called a pickle lol.

[@tami8965]

Submerged in water. Emerged means out of.

[@rockymiller3746]

Jenna Marie love your tip! I am going to try this!

[@pattyk101]

Jenna Marie I think you mean "submerged" in water. But still a good tip.

[@blanca6ful]

My favorite salad dressing is... 1 tablespoon tahini 1 teaspoon yellow mustard 1 teaspoon vegan worcestshire sauce 1/8 teason sea salt 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder the juice of 1/2 of a large lemon or 1 small lemon

[@RiaLake]

Thanks, will have to try.

[@megatuanis]

Thank you for sharing!!!

[@lostboi3974]

I make cilantro, lemon and fermented garlic hummus for salad dressing 😉

[@lolohunne8327]

I see others are commenting on the loss of the broccoli stems, they are great in soup or stir fry. The radish greens are also edible and a very good addition to dishes as well.

[@INEZ30HUNT]

Happy New Year First of all I would like to say thank you so much for making this video. I am totally new at all this preparation for plant based lifestyle. I'm a beginner. I have watched lots of videos on how a plant based diet can reverse all sorts of illnesses. So again I say thank you cause this will truly help.

[@Ndi1st]

I don’t think I have ever watched one video and then immediately subscribed to a channel. I just did after watching this one! Love your natural vibe and I’m now binging all your cooking, prep videos. I’m just transitioning to a plant based diet, so not vegan but most of what you show is still relevant. Thank you!! #MoreFoodShoppingPrepVideos pleassssssssse 🙌🏾 God Bless ✨

[@sadieschumaker6493]

Ndidi1st ✨ same!

[@felycyan]

Absolutely love how organized you are and well prepared for the week ahead! Wish there were more people posting meal prep and practical ideas on how to do a daily plant based lifestyle, as we see more and more around vegan junkies that miss the whole point of the healthy side of the nutrition that food can offer you...but everyone to their own choice i suppose! Keep it up and do post any other ideas of how to organise things in and around the kitchen with a more plant based lifestyle in mind.

[@mydirtyfeet]

Noooo! You threw the broccoli stem away?! That is my favourite part of the broccoli! You should really try it, it tastes a little more nutty than the florets. I admit I used to throw it away too, but it is really just a waste of perfectly good produce. Tastes great in like a stir fry! Nice video!

[@beautyforashes2230]

I winced too, because the stems are my favorite part as well. They're also much more nutritious than the florets!

[@madelinevelasquez884]

the broccoili stem is good 4 u

[@maryschutte8368]

I save all my veggie "trimmings" and make vegetable stock.

[@teresaolofson8187]

im so addicted to eating the stem raw like i cannot get enough

[@teresaolofson8187]

@@beautyforashes2230 really i didnt know this but im highly addicted to them

[@TheSharkeful]

I had no idea that reusable produce bags were a thing, so glad I know now!

[@gamergal1828]

Sarah Harke not only that, but you can order reusable zipper cloth sandwich bags and snack bags on Amazon. I use them for my daughters school lunches all the time, she loves having a little baggie of trail mix in her wonder woman Snack bag or a chickpea sandwich in a Nintendo sandwich bag. I also went to the fabric store and bought some cotton fabric remnants with little unicorns to make little square reusable unicorn napkins. I throw everything in the washing machine with all my kitchen hand towels and aprons.

[@johnsparkman2007]

Yeah I bought a set of glass containers at Costco 2 weeks ago. Much better than plastic. Your meal prep looks amazing. Thanks for the video.

[@cosmicnights]

John Sparkman ikea have cheap, fantastic glass containers and a funky suction silicone lid.

[@rockymiller3746]

Loved that you said, “not going to be an Instagram prep”! Also I love everyone’s comments with tips! Overall, I found my people! :)

[@SteelyPaw]

I put organic wheat noodles in just about everything I eat in the bean or Quinoa family. I soak and cook my beans and Quinoa for a few hours and it absorbs lot of water, then I put it in the Instant Pot for 40 minutes, then freeze it in freezer bags, for a fast wholesome meal with beans and veggies. I defrost the bean concoction then simply heat it up in the microwave while I make the noodles. ///// You are not only pretty, you are very organized and really health conscious.

[@terrycross3685]

Coming back to this again I'm about to prep like this. Thank you!! 😍

[@rubydelack7993]

Love the video and this was before Colin ! I bought tofu, organic kale, dry great northern beans, black beans in a can, my usual romaine lettuce. Can’t wait to meal prep this weekend ! As always thank you for the inspiration ❤

[@murphyalaw2730]

You are the BOSS with your preparation organization

[@denisecares6124]

You can use the radish tops - steam as spinach or add to soup or lentils. Also peel the broccoli stem and eat raw (grated or sliced) in salad or slaw with cabbage. Plant stems ( like parsley and cilantro) also contain more concentrated nutrients.

[@prizantsproducts4u]

I just love how YT shows commercials for pork and other animals while we all are watching a vegan - whole plant based foods show!!! WTH!!!! Thank you for sharing. I like some of your prep ideas.

[@nunyabizness3890]

The other advantage to washing your produce ahead of time, besides convenience, is that you don't get harmful pathogens from the produce on the inside of your refrigerator. Of course, this only applies if you don't put the produce in the refrigerator until after you have washed it. I suppose you could shop, store the produce in the fridge until ready to prep, then prep it all, but before restoring in the fridge, give the shelves a quick cleaning.

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

Leaving the stems in/on your vegetables (e.g. the kale) will leave them fresh even longer. (And dooon't throw away the brokkolistems!!) Also I would'nt chop the red cabbage. It'll loose more Vitamins then. You can cut it in half or quarters, if you really don't want to keep it in whole.

[@silkyrobinson5079]

Wow amazing! Intriguing how some people are so organized and efficient I've been trying for years and it just eludes me

[@elizapopperwell2578]

She also threw away the radish leaves. Personally - I like to saute them with a little onion and garlic.

[@Purpleroseann]

That's worth a try next time I buy radishes. Thnx

[@CarmenPerez-sp7uo]

Nice one. Thank you 🙌🏽

It saves time, energy, money& impulse eating out issues! Incredible ideas. I love your organized fridge! 😉Fantastic job💕 I subscribed 👍🍓🌷

[@ceeschwarz3682]

I enjoy your meal preps very much -- you speak so clearly. How about doing a video on meal planning, please? That is where I most need help.

[@ST-rm3bz]

I always use an extra step when washing produce. After the last rinse, I leave them soaking in a bow with water and vinegar. Then I dry them up and pack.

[@bobate6030]

I like how simple this prep is without spending a full day in the kitchen.

[@donnaflaherty9660]

We use a salad spinner and even then, there's still a lot of moisture. I now, after spinning, place them in my dehydrator a few minutes, with NO HEAT and they come out completely dry and still very firm.

[@subjectzero789]

Aw, your personality is so sweet. I love it. Peace&love

Right? Like maybe not everyone knows radishes grow under ground lol

[@andreaendres906]

Dont't throw the broccoli stems!!! They are perfect to use right away in soups or green smoothies - or freeze for later. Best super easy soup is made with a base of a couple potatoes, a can of white beans and then any veggies like squasch, broccoli stem and cauliflower or carrot, pumpkin and brokkoli stem etc and water. I cook everything at the same time and then mix with a stick blender untill smooth - they always get super creamy thanks to the potatoes

[@suzysanders6267]

I used a drying rack n the drainer mat for many years tiki had a dishwasher. Now I’m 72, single and the drainer and mat is back

[@xxwytehammerxx98]

All the prep looks great. Love the precooked proteins BUT you should let those cool without the kids on because bacteria will grow when they are sealed while still hot.

This video was perfect for me. Inspiring, practical and wasted no time getting to business. Excellent!

[@animakeupgrrl42]

You should get a salad spinner. They are very inexpensive. Usually max cost is $15. Mine was life-changing. My greens stay fresh much longer after being thoroughly dried. Also, if you put a small dry cloth on top of the greens before storing it will absorb excess moisture that evaporates and will help them to stay crisp.

[@cindychurch925]

Love these prep tips. I love seeing the organization and it is so easy to throw something together to eat

[@palomahealing5073]

Make sure the Greens have paper towels stuck inside to prevent premature wilting....

[@larisameschi2458]

If you rinse fruits & veg in mild distilled vinegar and then clear water the slime & mold are delayed. I ESPECIALLY love how long berries last when you do this!

[@soulfulsweat6205]

Love the reusable bags and great tips!

[@samaritaDeath]

The stems of the broccoli are great in soups, they are very nutritious, don't throw them away

[@BiancaMH]

I hate the stems too. I throw them in my compost so at least they don't go to waste
