Healthy & Easy Meal Prep on a Budget **under £20 total** 

Been letting my chili con carne cook for 42 days now, thx Joe

Ingredients: affordable Recipe: simple Food: delicous Hotel: trivago

Baked beans in a chilli? The only thing more British would be if the beef had a drinking problem.

I like how the video started with the chilli recipe. It was all arty, calm and very slick looking. Then it descended into the amount of green beans referred to as "a fuck load" and the chicken cooking time being like, yeah I dunno, 25 minutes, that'll do 🤣

This is actually a life saver - I wanna start meal prepping at uni, you should totally make this into a series! Would 100% continue to watch

I go in Aldi with £20....... and come out with ready meal and a £15 tent 😢

“It’s too heavy to lift with one hand cos I’m quite weak” Me: stares at arms that are about 3 times the size of mine

Literally a rare youtuber that mentions his sponsors at the END of his video, respect bro appreciate it

Hope this helps:) 1kg 5% minced beef 5.49 Baked beans 0.22 2x chunky chopped tomatoes 0.70 1x red kidney beans 0.30 1kg of chicken breast 5.29 Stock cubes (chicken) 0.36 for 12 Brown rice 400g 1kg for 0.89 2x Green beans 0.77 Couscous 0.77 Mixed peppers 2 or 0.91 for 3 Mixed chillies 0.47 Brown onions 1 1/2 0.79 Tomato puree 0.33 Garlic granules 0.49 Pre made chilli spice mix 0.22

This went from professional cooking show to just some regular guy in the kitchen instantly and it’s hilarious! 🤣

Joe makes things so simple that he leaves us with no excuse to get organized and eat well. I appreciate the time you take and the simple way in which you explain it.

This has been so helpful for me. Genuinely learning new cooking skills, and eating healthily. Thanks, Joe. I'd love more content like this.

Straight to the point. Easy meals and no fuss or talking about shite Thank you

I cooked 10 meals today and i ate three of them before i’d even finished preparing the other ones I was so hungry. I am not a smart man.

Hey man hope you read this. Ive recently started changing my life around making healthier choices and havent really cooked properly in my life...till today i followed all your instructions they was perfectly written out and explained (ive watched others and got overloaded) and successfully made chilli con carne. I cant thank you enough.

Only guy in the world to put their sponsor at the end of the vid 😂

Thank you for not yelling at me, like every youtuber and their mamma. A calm voice after a long day at work is what I needed right now.

Yo people! If you have any questions about the vid, drop them in the comments below. I'm a few days into my meals now and actually proper enjoying it, so might do some more of these videos with different recipes if people wanna see 'em? One thing I didn't mention (but hopefully goes without saying): don't put the foil containers in the microwave or it'll probably blow up. Cheers everyone xx P.s. I'm also thinking of some kind of breakfast version, if people are keen?

This was the first meal prep video I ever watched as a complete beginner. 3 and a half years later I look back. And it feels like a monument to the start of my fitness journey. Joe Delaney is my hero :)

brilliant! easy to watch, to follow, keeping it real, you come across as a caring guy and fun and people notice that, really keep going, you give much!!

This guy is like the most normal dude ever. Speaks like a normal dude, it's like a normal dude, has a physique like a normal dude... Yeah, he is in shape but not some steroid mashing egomaniac. He has a physique that is very attainable for anyone that is willing to be mostly dedicated to their nutrition and training. Keep up the good work bro! You are the people's RU-vid guy and this is my first time checking you out. Nice work.

They need Arnold Schwarzenegger to do a ad for Aldi saying Aldi back.

Exactly the video i was looking for!! For a naturally underweight 32 year old gaining has always been an issue, recent stresses is stripping away the tinest bit of weight i do have. Coming across this video knowing it wont cost me an absolute fortune is just a god send! Will update on my progess in a few months! P.s ive subscribed for more! Thank you

This video is so calming. I didnt even need to meal prep this week (already done) but watched this to relax haha! Loving the videos bro!

5:40 I like seasoning my food with Monster Energy too.

When RU-vid recommends something actually useful

Love this concept of prepping food… saves money, time, and the aim to be healthy. Also love to listen to Joe with a lovely Scouse accent… missing home x Keep up the wonderful work and exceptional videos x

I've been making this chili for a few weeks now on and off and it's just great, thanks for sharing it!

As someone who's done meal planning for years, I don't think I've seen such a concise summary. Definitely going to be my go to video for friends that are interested in doing it now.

📝 If anyone needs a shopping list: - Chicken Breast 1kg - Beef 95/5 1kg - Brown rice - Couscous - Green Beans - Red paprika - Green paprika - Red kidney beans - Chunky chopped tomatoes - Onions - Tomato paste - Garlic Granules (or powder) I skipped the obvious ingredients like olive oil etc

This is the best meal prep I've ever tried, even tho 4 years later its a bit more expensive

tried the chicken one today, it turned out greaat, so delicious and healthy. thank you very much!

Background music at 06:00 is Rice - boiling . You‘re welcome :)

Man like Joey D doing students a public service, yes lad.

Amazing video. You are making a difference and impact in people’s lives from all over the world. I wish you continued success and the best of luck. I’m all the way from California USA.

Thank you so much i've seen so many videos of American people talking about Walmart and having very different prices but to see someone usinga cheap Aldi shop is very helpful i will definitley be using this for my meal prep

Square Space: Happy to sponsor your upload Joey how much do you need? Joey: Just a score for Aldi mate 😂

"Background music is 'Rice Boiling' by the way" lol Rice Boiling - The Way ft. Chicken Breast

Ive just reached canada and this video is a bliss being a fitness enthusiast!! My gains say thanks!

"The longer the better" Started cooking this video a week after this came out, still got it cooking on the grill... This should taste so epic.

I would have gone into Aldi with £20 and come out with no food, but treasure from the aisle of dreams!

Really appreciate these sorts of cooking videos as a large proportion of the battle for gains is food. Ideas on different meals, snacks and little bits to help meet your macros/micros in a flavoursome way is always needed. Thanks man

I just tried your chilli, and a version of your overnight oats. They are fantastic recipes, and taste really really good. The dark chocolate did add something to the taste, as well as the bit I threw down my throat whilst cooking. Your work is fantastic, thanks very much for sharing. (IMO), Not many producers here care about the reality of being low on cash with limited options! 🙂

Best healthy eating plan I’ve seen yet! Thank you☺️

in canada, for 20$ you can buy the salt.

Quick tip boys, use reusable tupperwares instead of the aluminum like containers. Saves the earth much.

Oh my god I cannot express how happy I am to see you putting stock into the cous cous! Absolute game changer! Nothing worse that flavourless cous cous

3 years later and this is still my go to meal!

I am not a bodybuilder or fitness person. Quite frankly, people call me skinny. But somehow, your content always amazes me and keeps me coming back. You got something special good sir. Keep it up!

Great video. Sending it to my nephew. He's going through a bad time at moment financially and emotionally. I'm trying these meals out soon.

This guy is hilarious and brilliant, healthy meals on a budget. Got any more?

mate love the honesty, great to watch

For garlic/ginger/fresh chilli, I highly recommend getting frozen packs of pre-minced versions. You can get these from Asda/Tesco etc as part of their world food range. You can get about 400g of garlic for 85p. Cheaper than powder, tastier and as it's frozen, will last months.

Video editing and angles on a mad one. The best meal prep on RU-vid 💪🏼

This was the first meal prep I've seen where I felt flavor was really taken in to account.

I cooked this chilli last Friday and tubbed up the rest. Really nice with the baked beans. Nice one Joe.

Perfect timing. I moved out today and just started uni. Big up.

deffo needing more videos like this!

Top man, cooking on a budget never been more important these days. Thank you very much

Followed this chilli recipe to the last word. Banging. The baked beans is never something I wouldn’t have done, ever. But it’s spot on 👌🏼

Alright cool, I bought and prepared everything like you did. So when does my body start looking like yours?

This is pretty solid. Most meal prep on a budget vids are pretty toss. Thanks for the macros etc, def dubbing for this stuff.

Great content mate and I appreciate your honest approach to the sponsor. Thanks for that

I make a similar chilli too but with turkey mince and chicken stock, turns out pretty nice! For the greens too you can get a bamboo steamer, whack some stuff (broccoli, carrots, beans) in it over a pan of boiling water for like 15 mins and you're done. Easy peasy.

Love the vid, but I only have one piece of advice. Skip the frying pan and do the initial cooking/browning directly in the pot, that way the added moisture will de-glaze the bottom of the pot and you get back a lot more caramelized flavor in the final product.

Great video! Actually budget meals that are actually meals instead of just some rice with meat and 2 grams of vegatables.

Loved this. Do more meals? Any maybe breakfast options too? Always looking for more recipes!

You sucha honest guy. Love the content!

Keep up the recipes man, Joey D helping all the students around the world to make those clean gains. Have a great day!

I'm not a professional chef but I have been a keen hobby cook for over 45 years and I really liked this video, the recipes and the production. Good food doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. I particularly liked adding baked beans to the chilli, I'll try this next time I make it. If you're making chicken stock try adding 5ml of tomato ketchup to it, this is a Chef John tip and it really makes a difference. Keep up the good work.

One of the best videos I have seen on cooking on youtube. The meals look like something Id eat myself. Its cheap, and the idea with making trays is bang on clever. Never thought of that. Pre cooking usually meant cook it, and then put the pot in the fridge. :o

This is the bees knees, and definitely deserves the 4.5 million views. It delivered on the Budget in the title and looks absolutely bl***y delicious. My mouth was watering just watching it. And the results speak for themselves, the gentleman doing the meal prep has a serious physique. Thank you Mr. Delaney, I could burn a salad, but even I could follow your meal prep so cheers m8. All the best. Pat : )

Shot all the chilli ingredients into my slow cooker for 4 hours instead of the pan. Absolute winner. cheers for the recipes

Yes Joey D back with another vid!!! My day just got a whole lot better! 😃

I think a good suggestion is to add some kind of cream ( in dutch we call it creme freche). It makes the chili con carne even better!

I've just made the chilli con carne, it's an amazing recipe- thanks Joe!

Great vids. I know for me I couldn't eat chilli for 5 days in a row. It would make me end up getting a take away by Thursday. So I boil up the mince and split it into two. One chilli and one bolognese and alternate. If I have bread in the house that needs using up I do meatballs with mince,bread crumbs,seasoning. For the chicken I usually get boneless chicken thighs cos they seem to keep their flavour a bit longer than breasts. Do one tray of honey,garlic,ginger,soya chicken. The other one I do lemon and black pepper chicken. Takes only about 5 minutes longer to do 2 more recipes cos the main ingredients are the same. Chicken thighs have higher calories though per gram than breasts, if you're counting calories. But if it means sticking to the plan in the long run and not diving into a take away, it's a win.

Camera angles and video editing is on another level!

Glad I found your channel. This will help a lot not only for my training but meal ideas with my wife and kids... so I'm not a selfish git cooking for myself 😅

Great video, I cooked this all up tonight. Looking forward to the lunches and dinners for the week :D

"Rice Boiling", incidentally my favourite track to cook to on Spotify,

Banging bro, just made my first chilli, seems ok, im not the best chef, but looks great. Watch loads of fitness meal prep vids on here but u seem legit and honest and human.

Love the content you put out Joe!

So much love for this ! Great vid. Health at a budget👌👌

I've been following you since the tinder video days and seeing how your life and content has improved over the years is crazy

Defo should do more recipe vids mate!

The best chilli recipe I've ever enjoyed. Easy to make. Tastes amazing. Cheap. High protein. Complex carbs. Found it 4 years ago but i lost it when covid hit. All of a sudden inspiration struck and i found you again. Thanks man. Helping me on my fitness journey big time.

It’s all about the edgy cooking videos with the sick voice over instructions! Sooo good! Haha 👌🏼

I really like how you put the ads at the end of your video for people that want to know more, not wasting time of people who otherwise just skip it. I actually watched the ad, and I never do. You have a new subscriber.

The straight to wok noodles are pretty good as well, just stick a bunch of vegetables and meat in there with some soy sause, can't say if it's cheaper/ more nutritious than this but you get to mix and match and takes about 10 mins.

I’ve watched this a few times and I’ve decided I’m going to try it next week, wish I had watched it a few hours ago before I bought all the ingredients for this weeks meal prep

9:13 "just add a small knob of butter....hah knob"

Legendary! Thanks mate, translates well to the Aus market too!

The best meals to make!

just made this and its added whole new dimension to my chilli game , thanks bro

Mans getting those 100K sponsors now sheesh! Solid video as always, just in time for uni. Would be very interested in seeing more cooking content like this.

man brexit really does hit hard

The most useful mealprep i ve seen so far

Love your videos Joe. Great channel.

Honestly probably the best video I’ve watched in forever. I’m about to get my own place and I think I may watch this video a few dozen times. Not even joking lol.
