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

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.

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!

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

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 🥳

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😁😁

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.

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

this is literally the best (and smartest) meal prepping video ive watched

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.

You’re helping me manage my depression and chronic fatigue. Thank you for this, AMAZING video (and I have watched what feels like 100) ❤❤❤

So inspiring! What a time saver for the rest of the week! Your recipes are so simple! I'm sure they're delish!

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❤

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.

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! 🤗❤

I absolutely love the idea of prepping everything separately! I never thought about doing it this way. I’m SO going to try this

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!

Best meal prep video! So organized! This method works for me and isn't confusing like most meal prep videos. Thank you!!

I am watching this as I am eating Dave’s hot chicken because I didn’t cook last night….. I need this

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! ❤

That was the first video ever that i watched and didn’t ever thought i was fake! This girl has a pure logical brain, all steps planned in her mind, Everything just make sense! Must to be amazing having a clear mind like you have.

This is the best approach to meal prepping!! I think my boyfriend will appreciate the customization more than the set meals❤❤❤

Really cool! I like that you showed us everything from the beginning, including tidying up the kitchen 😊

Holy crap, this video is exactly what I’ve been looking for! The exact amount of detail I need & so many vegetables. Thank you!!

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 ;)

So glad I found your channel. This is a much better way. I listen to podcasts every Sunday also. That makes this suggestion right up my alley.

Girl, you’re amazing for sharing this ❤ THANK YOU

I really enjoyed this. I find meal prepping the same thing for all week gets boring and I easily cheat. This makes more sense. Thanks

This was one of the best meal prep videos I've watched, and I used a similar approach. You did amazing, Thank you for sharing.

If you have a spiralizer (or grater), you can turn broccolli stems into noodles~~~~ thank you for the video!! Great ideas!!

Please do another one of these! So helpful ❤

Hi! I was just curious if this is something youre going to start sharing every week, or more often? I LOVE your bulk prep process...so I would love to see different variations of this process occasionally! Thanks!!!! xoxo

just found your channel and I am obsesseddd ✨ this was so helpful to see realistic & simple dishes. loved that you walked us through step by step too :)

Awesome video; very easy to follow and I love the recipe ingredients posted on the screen. The recipes look so good and you make meal prep look so easy.

I love meal prepping. I usually do it on Sunday after church and , l do the shopping on Friday night after work for the meal prep.

I love this type of meal prep! Rainbow Plant life made a similar video, and Downshiftology made a few videos like this if you all would like more recipes/ideas/inspo!

This is such an all around great video! Just the boost I needed to get to keeping prepped meals in the house! Thanks for this, girl! You have a new subscriber

Props to your mom for the chicken recipe, thank you for sharing!

Carolina !! I downloaded the list and just we t grocery shopping!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING THIS LIST and sharing it. I seriously appreciate it. I’m a new fan and I’m so so excited to continue to follow you and try your recipes.

this is amazing! I’m going to try this next week instead of regular meal prepping because it seems a lot more convenient to choose what you feel like through out the week!

When u said “when I go to Trader Joe’s I end up buying more than I probably need or have room for in my fridge” I felt that wholeheartedly. That’s my life summed up

That is very impressive in it's variety and your efficiency. Great job!

Yes!!! I have immediately subscribed!!! I love love love your content. This is the meal prep I would love to do… thank you 🙏

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!

Ingredient prep > meal prep for sure. It stays fresher that way too!

love this ive been trying to meal prep and hate eating the same thing everyday! This is way more doable for me

I love this! This is a huge pain point in my current life, and as always, trying to do better! ;) I'll check out more of your videos but I would love to see how you reheat these items to avoid lack of flavor, mushy food, etc.

This video is awesome! My husband and I are in our fifties and sixties and looking for more efficient ways to eat healthy. Thanks for the step by step on food prep!

Thank you so much for the video. That's exactly what I was looking for!!! You definitely deserve more subs!!

Wow. I always tried to pre-plan meals & stick them in individual containers. This looks way more fun & easy to just mix and match throughout the week! Thanks

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!

I love this, you have motivated me to start meal prepping!

Thanks for sharing, Carolina. Loved the organisation & your recipiea look delicious. I'm definitely going to try them.

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)

Absolutely love all of this... My kind of meal prep. I've done the same for years.

Wow - you're so organised. Great video!

So helpful, healthy, and delicious! Can’t wait to try out some of these!

Thank you for sharing! Enjoyed thoroughly.

Love it. That's how I do my meal prep. I just can't eat the same food for a while. It is very good and helpful to eat clean throughout the week. Without getting bored 👍

This was excellent and looks doable for someone that doesn't enjoy cooking. Thank you.

Wow, this is amazing and very helpful!

I found your video to be super helpful, thank you for making it!! I would like to know how you go about reheating foods and which foods you dont recommend to heat up.

Love this - just can't eat all that oil as it does not agree with me but I loved the spice combinations and all the variety! Thank you so much 😍

I have been Interested in meal prep before but detoured from it because of well you mention in the beginning of your video because most ppl pre make the meals so that is what your limited to eating but I much prefer your way pre make everything and then fix what you feel like eating that day or next so you can have variety not the same thing over and over so thank you for that insight 😉 now I may actually give meal prep a go ! 😊

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.

I’m Brazilian, and I was watching and you just choose a Brazilian song. I LOVED! 💕

An excellent video. Makes it way less overwhelming. Thank you.

Will definitely try.

I have been looking for something like this as a working student, love love love this video thank you so much... Subscribed and liked 😁

Super helpful tips!

❤ Nice job! You certainly have mastered meal prepping. Loving all the vegetables in your meals. Very healthy. Good job.❤

I can’t wait to try this!

Thank you!!! This gave me so much inspiration ❤️

Loved ur cooking process, and as a brazilian, I loved the song choice.

I did enjoy watching your prepping session.

Thank you love this!

Thisbis amazing! Thanks for great tip ❤

I love "building block" meal prep 💜

This is so great! Do you have a specific video that shows how you store and then take out and eat these meals throughout the week?

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!

Love this! Thank you 😊

Finished watching and subscribed on the spot. Thank youuuu

Wow! How inspiring! Thanks so much for sharing. 🤗

i love this! you make it seem less daunting!

The way you say browse made my heart happy😂💅🏻

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.

Love all the choices of Veg, proteins & etc.👌❤️❤️❤️❤️

loved this video! so helpful.😊

First time I've seen one of your videos. I AM a vegan, and loved how you processed your veggies! Thanks!

First time here. Loved this so much ❤❤❤! Please do more recipes

Hi I just came across this video and Im obsessed how organize and detail you were!!! Few questions 1) With what do you hand wash it with for the potatoes and bananas? 2) Is it better to wash produce with filter water compare to unfiltered water ? 3) what filter you use ? 4) What air fryer do you use? 5) How long do you store your meal prep? Sorry for too many questions I have no knowledge about anything with cooking and meal prep and I wanna change that. New subscriber and can’t wait to see more videos 🫶🏼

I chuckled when you washed the bananas

omg that's so smart... trying to get into meal prepping and everyone keeps making premade bowls and the prospect of eating the same exact curated meal for a weak was stressing me tf out LMAO. how did i not realize this way sooner?!!

😲 WOW!! I thought I meal prep well but you blow me away..nice

I am so thankful I came across your channel I started meal prepping for me and my boyfriend about 5 months ago, and I feel as I learn new things each time I watch this videos, I love that you took us shopping with you, you showed me is also possible to have a balance and have more free time for us when you mentioned you had to be somewhere at 2 I was curious how you would get done with all the meal prep in time , but seeing this makes me hopeful to have a life on sundays too

The music in the background is excellent. In general a really good video!

Holy nuggets this was extremely helpful 💐💐💐THANK YOUU

I Love this, I like that you’re walking us through each 🙏 ❤ Also, how long does the meal prep last in the fridge (before it expires) And How long do you defrost them for & defrost in fridge or outside? Thank you!!! Loving this, Great work 👏 ❤

Love this

Thank you for doing this last weekend I wanted to buy Arugula but I hesitated because I wasn't sure how to prepare it. Thank you!

Thank you for video! ❤️
