Snack city might honestly be the best idea I’ve ever gotten from the Internet. Last night, my pregnant wife was hungry at like 1 AM, so having a whole host of ready-made food in the freezer for her to choose from was a godsend.

[@disobeyedcargo5006]

I've been actively maintaining my own snack city for about 3 months, and it has been a massive gamechanger for my fitness goals. Having those macro friendly snacks be so convenient (and delicious!) is amazing. I currently have breakfast burritos, popcorn chicken, pancake bites, taquitos, and the jalapeno broccoli bites in rotation, and I love it!

[@Yesica1993]

We're coming over!

[@TheMealPrepManual]

So glad to hear that 😎

[@Varnzy20]

Love your sense of humor. Almost as good as your parenting advice

[@Just-Nikki]

I make pizza bites using zucchini or eggplant for the base. I also make a taco version as well using the same veggies. If you don’t pre bake the veggies they reheat well. To freeze, I barely bake them before freezing, just enough to keep them held together. That way they aren’t mushy when I heat them up. Stuffed banana peppers are a good finger food snack as well. I’m trying those broccoli bites, they look really good!

[@ChrisF199]

Just made the sausage breakfast biscuits and they are amazing they did flatten way more then I thought they were going to while baking but still really good recipe. Definitely will be making this every couple of weeks.

[@LightningCrabz]

You combined waffles AND french toast??? God you are a mad genius, I love it!!

[@TheMealPrepManual]

[@hoorayitsjackie6166]

Crepuscular means you are most active during the sunrise and sunset and you sleep during the night. I use that term when I teach my dog body language class

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Oh you’re right. I’ve only heard it used in hunting terms for animals that are active when the moon is bright

I'd love a snack city with snacks I can keep in the cupboard or in a box, don't have much freezer or fridge space.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Unfortunately that is nearly impossible in a home kitchen. You have to decrease the water activity to make things shelf stable and that isn’t easy

[@soejrd24978]

Snack city lore

[@SweetKingTanner]

Sweet potato nuggies?! That sounds like a must try

[@TheMealPrepManual]

They are hit

[@AshMenon]

I always assumed that you had to allow frozen meal-prep stuff to come to at least fridge-level temperature before you reheated them in a microwave/etc. Otherwise it would be very uneven temperatures around the food. Is that not the case here? Is it because each snack is smaller and thus easier to reheat internally?

[@SaintShion]

I’ve been doing an strict diet but I’m so afraid of snacking, cause I have 0 clue on nutrition

[@1970broncoman]

Lmao about the gremlin solution

[@rajnavukov111]

[@sele4049]

Ayo Josh, do your vacuum bags sometimes simply lose their vacuum out of nowhere as well? they remain tight but clearly have air in them after a couple days in the freezer.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Yeah sometimes but I usually find that’s just because I didn’t seal them all the way. Once I make sure to press it down completely and revacuum they are fine. I’ve had to throw out probably 4 bags the last 2 years because they had a small hole as well

[@vosazun8828]

How feasible is it to have a thriving snack city without owning an air-fryer?

[@TheMealPrepManual]

It’s feasible. You just need to microwave everything. Sometimes I’ll do that anyway cause it’s faster. I didn’t get an air fryer until a few years ago. I did everything in the microwave then

Could a toaster oven get close to an air fryer? Or just go microwave?
