THE ULTIMATE HEALTHY MEAL PREP | a week's worth of easy & yummy recipes + grocery list

[@MB-dg3lr]

I really appreciate you saying it took 3-4 hours. People always claim it takes an hour or so and I feel stupid cos I'm never able to do it so fast.

[@letsdomath1750]

Depending on the recipes you selected, you can do it in an hour. Also, if you're making food for one person and repeat meals, that cuts down on the amount of prep significantly.

[@freckledspeckled5406]

My husband and I were JUST talking about how we need to start meal prepping but we would rather do it separately instead of putting all the ingredients together. This is so inspiring, thank you!

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

OMG YESSSSSS!! I'm so glad you found the vid in perfect timing

[@fofita17]

One tip: the broccoli 🥦 stems can be cut into thin strips and they taste great. Helps cut down on waste.

[@claudiacastaneda8675]

I also freeze them and when I have enough I make broccoli cream... The stems add so much to the texture! I love it

[@melaniwilliams2236]

Yes, and also they have a lot of nutrition value, more than the other parts of the broccoli!

[@elisethearmy]

when I was a kid, these were my favorite pieces!! they're so crunchy!!

[@christinestrohmeyer1701]

Or put it in broth if you no-waste make broth from (chicken) bones

[@ni_jpeg]

As a Portuguese gal, a tip I always give is to have a big pan of soup for (almost) the whole week so I can have it as dinner, with a side of a few toasts and cheese or prosciutto. Then I do basically the same as you, separate the veggies and proteins and mix and match throughout the week 🥳

[@anaisabel907]

As another Portuguese gal, I agree. Soup for dinner is so tasty and full of vitamins, plus really easy to freeze as well.

[@andreiameleiro]

Another Portuguesa here, I can't remember of any dingle household that doesn't have soup. Such a stapple

[@meggo6673]

Love this! As an American, mama to 5, we eat soup daily-Asian style miso is a favorite for bfast, tomato basil is a lunch favorite and then heartier soups for dinner. Not all in one day but usually at least one soup meal per day. Bone broth is so good for our gut health. We’ve been doing this for 13 years and my kids have literally never needed antibiotic or even fever reducers. Soup as a healer is making a comeback!

[@sebeckley]

America's Test Kitchen compared washing produce in vinegar vs baking soda to remove surface pesticides and only baking soda work. 1 tsp per 2 quarts of water. 30 seconds dip, swish, rinse.

[@IcedMachiatto]

Good to know. Thanks for sharing that info!

[@amaragrace94]

Oh wow. Good to know. I was previously using vinegar to soak and making baking soda paste to scrub things like apples.

[@Simplesupperideas]

Can you make a video where you show us through the week how you create a dinner plate?! Or what I eat in a day after meal prepping😁😁

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

WAIT OMG! I am so happy to hear it

[@PrincessPeaFeet]

I’m in the U.K., we don’t have Trader Joes here.. I’m a bit shocked at all the plastic they have! 😱 We have a lot of our veg loose and you have paper bags that you tear off and fill with what you need. It’s so much better as you can buy as much or as little as you need without wastage. Your video is so helpful, thank you! 🤗❤

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

Ah yes I know... most things here in the US have WAY too much plastic in the packaging! Glad you enjoyed the vid and sending love all the way to the UK!

[@KeekoLanes]

We have that too lol. Some people just choose to buy it prepped.

[@raquelpenzo6299]

I agree with keeping each food on its own and just mixing and matching throughout the week; food looks great! I did read or hear somewhere, though, that you should wait and wash fruit as you need it, not all at once when you buy it, so it will last longer.

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

Ingredient prep is game changing, happy you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for the tip - I've found with the berries it's basically the only fruit I prep before hand and helps just save time during my busy week day but always helpful to learn new things :) xx

[@bamitsmaja5985]

you should try washing your fruit, especially berries, in a mix of 3 parts water and 1 part white vinegar. It kills the mold spores which cause the fruit to go bad, and makes it last way longer :)

[@bamitsmaja5985]

by washing i mean letting it sit in that mixture for 15 mins and then rinsing*

[@samc299]

I wash and dry berries then store in a glass jars with a little kitchen paper to absorb any moisture. My fruit lasts ages

[@yvonneoy3124]

​@@samc299kitchen paper?

[@msbelindab5231]

I love seeing that you washed your lemons. I wash all fruits that have a peel. Even watermelon and pineapple. I mean everything. Some folk think you don't have to wash cantaloupe. Wash everything. Great video. TFS❤

[@aliria9493]

Ok, so I have tried making this batch yesterday with my bf and everything turned out SO DELICIOUS I'M NOT EVEN JOKING. We will definitely repeat this! Also: the preparation was pretty fast and very easy. We spent 3h in the kitchen, but that's because we don't have an air fryer, so we baked almost everything. Still figuring out if the quantities are good for us :-) Thank you for this! ❤

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

Okay this makes me SO HAPPY AHHHHHH!!!!! I am so glad to hear it and thank you for sharing this with me

[@nidamukadam5868]

This was so helpful! i used to hate meal prepping because i though that meant eating the same meals throughout the week but doing things separately gives so much diversity ;)

[@princesscindy60]

You are my lifesaver. I went out n bought things to recreate your meals. I don't cook much at all but am looking more at maintaining weight. If I don't have things prepped I fall off the wagon...hard. Pls keep sharing. May not cook much but I know how to follow directions. Lol THX

[@mariaalfano]

This is so amazing!! One of the best healthy, affordable, and realistic meal preps I’ve seen. Super grateful for all the seasoning ideas/tips. Would love if you made a series out of this - if not meal prepping, just different simple meal ideas.

[@rachelrandolph2579]

The way I was absolutely shocked when I saw you only have 2k subscribers! This video is so helpful, especially since my bf and I just moved in together. We're so busy and try to prioritize our training and healthy eating, but sometimes when I get home from my 9-5 it takes everything in me to just get to the gym. By the time we're done I don't want to cook, but meal prepping hasn't worked well for me alone in the past. I think with it being both of us now it'll be better, especially since we can pick foods that we each like and can mix and match. THANK YOU for this! This lil 21 year old baby adult appreciates it lol. Instant sub!

Today was meal prep Wednesday for me after randomly coming across your channel. Made all of your recipes in 6 hours. 🙌🏻 Totally exhausted but it was worth it!

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

OMG so proud of you!

[@Emiliano-Mcallister]

This is how I’ve been meal prepping for a few years now. Occasionally, I’ll prepare a triple batch of casseroles or soups for the freezer in case of emergencies (unexpected guests, illness, or just plain tired). I find this works best for us as well. I love the option of mixing and matching. And depending on the protein or the vegetable, I’ll cook them down with a basic salt and pepper sprinkle and later season with a specific seasoning…Italian, Mexican, Cajun, etc. If anyone has a hibachi grill, washing and chopping veggies ahead of time then tossing them on the grill is also a big time saver and SO delicious! Thanks so much for the video. Subscribed!

[@Dana-ml7sy]

I do a combination. I meal prep completed salads & some vegetables like potatoes & carrots & courgettes & prepared meals like stuffed peppers & some fruits. I prepare soups & stews & veg like cabbages & sprouts & freeze. Likewise for meals like Shepard’s pie, lasagna & cauliflower cheese. I don’t wash berries in advance but will prepare apples, gooseberries & plums that are stewed down & divided & frozen to top yogurts. Whole apples & grapes are just washed, dried & separated for grab & go. Fish takes minutes to cook & chicken a little longer. I separate portions & add spices, not garlic & freeze. Pull out in the morning what you want to eat in the evening. If I change my mind which I often do, depending on events,it’s not a problem as the salads x 6 are prepped ready for tuna, cheese or ham which are my standbys. I’m too old & disinclined to spend 3 hours at any one time to meal prep & will trade that for the hour I spend prepping with a few minutes on each meal. I don’t meal prep with ready prepped veg as it oxidises quicker & I’m mindful of waste, which costs money. I meal prep to take advantage of what’s on sale, if I can freeze it or make something that will freeze. I like how you check your fridge & pantry before shopping & make a shopping list. So important.

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

love that!!!! you're on top of it :) keep it up!!!

[@cheyennemathis8578]

[@sandyrose4829]

Impressed with your very healthy diet and prep tricks.... agree with you about keeping your prepared food elements seperately is the best way..... different foods last different amount of times...plus when stored seperately their flavors stay original to the item.... I never shop without a list ...(I am on the computer about 8-10 hours a day for work ....so I keep a piece of paper next to the computer so when I think of an item I need it goes on the list...saves a lot of time and money having a list)

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

Ah thanks so much!! Yes having a list is honestly game changing I agree :)

Hi i love this & am taking inspiration girl 🙏 Can you share more about how long this meal prep should last? Definitely correct me if im wrong but, idk about fish sitting in the fridge all week then eating it. Do you freeze any of the items after you cook it? Im really interested about how you go about presverving everything to last you. Thats the hardest part for me meal prepping for sure!

[@yanak7159]

That’s what works best for us too. I prep the food and keep that separately from the rest. Then you mix and match later.

[@CampGravatt123]

Wow this is so similar to my system but this amount of food would take me almost a month to finish (But it’s just me haha)! Since I work from home now, I don’t use a smaller Tupperware for each dish. I keep everything in their big containers and plate them as I eat throughout the day. For just me I found that prepping two proteins, two carbs, and two veggie dishes are enough variety and last me 1.5 weeks.

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

YESSSS find what works for you angel, and proud of you! As I said in the beginning of the vid, I meal prep for me and my boyfriend and we both eat at home a lot throughout the week so this lasted us ~6ish days!! xx

I washed them but couldn't get the smell out, so I tossed them. So, I always wash my bananas and never buy anything near the register lol....too many hands and breath on them.

I miss Trader Joes! You cooked a lot of things in the oven and airfryer. How do you reheat the meals so they are crunchy/crispy after putting it all in the fridge (except the kale chips I’m guessing) and it possibly having it go soggy from the condensation?

I use an air fryer to reheat crunchy things otherwise you can put it in microwave and then grill or oven to crisp up
