Hi guys! Oh wow. You LOVED my recent meal prep video, so needless to say I'll definitely be doing more of those in the future. But today I wanted to share my favorite meal prep containers, as I received many questions for recommendations. As I mention at the end of the video I'll be in Chicago this week and next, but let me know what you plan to meal prep this weekend. I'd love to hear! xo - Lisa
Just found your videos. Such GREAT helpful info. I’ve watched many of them. 😃 You mentioned that some BPA-free plastic isn’t good. I want to get these glass storage with the airtight lids. Are they perfectly safe?
I’ve been slowly saving jars from foods I buy including nut butters, spaghetti sauce, olives, roasted red peppers etc. I run them through the dishwasher and store them.
Dawn, that is wonderful! I save the spaghetti sauce jars. Classico has measurements on the side. That is so useful! Great way to take care of the environment!
This is my perfect inspiration I was looking for. I changed already my kitchen and now I'm changing my container to glass ones. Feels like a spring cleaning 😉
I’ve ordered the stasher bags and just received my Amazon order of the Glasslock containers. Thanks for your recommendations and I am finally making the transition away from so much plastic containers for my leftovers and meal prep. You’ve been just the inspiration I needed to make it happen.
I just discovered your videos, and can’t wait to view them all. I am gluten sensitive and have had a hard time figuring this out. Your videos are the best thing I’ve ever seen. You are so thorough! Thank you!
Thanks so much Tammy - happy to hear you love the videos! And make sure to check out (and subscribe to) my website as well. All recipes are gluten-free and I'm always sharing new tips. :) x
Perspective Portions I agree. I just bought some glass containers last month. Now I need to consider the zip lock replacements. I don’t know how many I’ll need. I hope to use some in the freezer but since I make a smoothly daily it’s just too expensive to get at least 30 so I may need to consider alternatives for frozen bananas, berries & greens. I made some hockey pucks of frozen collards that I steamed but I’m not a fan. My blend is good but not ideal.
I'm really glad you made this video! Every time I i watch your food prep videos, I always find myself wondering about the containers you're using, so this was super helpful!
I just bought some of your recommendations, thank you. I have made your spring meal prep yesterday. Just had my first homemade Greek salad. It was great.
Gosh. This really helps, i am to be Zero waste or close to it as well as effective and sustainable. This helps me so much. I am going to make life better. I will be able to use the bags for snacking in my nursing shift, better for my healthy snacking. I will use the rest fir meal prep. Very happy.
Love your energy! It's really great to see a creator that focus on something important like health. Not just through the food, but also other detail such as the container. Love the way you talk and your word choices. Not like other "youtuber" that overly aggressive and exaggerate everything, you have your own class, audience, and mission! You look and sound smart, convincing, intellectual, prepared, and pretty of course lol. I know you from your meal prep video since Im a college student that just decided to do it to save time and money. Your video was so helpful and I will try it next week! This video and the spices drawer video also my favorite (I need spice in my life). And lastly, beside all those personal benefits as a human being, you inspire me as a creator as well! Thank you!
Wow - you are too sweet Fransiscus! But I genuinely appreciate all of your positive feedback. And I love that this community is attracting much of the same - like attracts like. ;) Glad you found the meal prep and spice drawer videos helpful! I've actually got a new meal prep video uploading tomorrow morning! And so happy to hear that my videos inspire you as a creator as well. Best wishes to you! :) x
Lisa, I just found out about you. OMG! So many things I've needed help on, and all these wonderful videos addressing them, from container choice to meal prep to perfect hard-boiled eggs! And GF to boot! I have so many food restrictions due to allergies and intolerances, but most of what you present I can have! You are a Godsend. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
LOVE your minimalistic style, from home decor to food prep/kitchen organization and houseplants. LOVE!! I already got the glasslock containers and am working on switching out my plastic pantry containers for the glass weck jars. looking forward to more videos as I've already binge watched the older ones! 😂cheers
I LOOOOVE the Glasslock containers. Once I discovered them at a discounted price in Groupon and I never looked back. HOWEVER, warning to all..there are two kinds (I have both) of Glasslocks. One comes with a clear lid and one comes with green lid shown in this video. ONLY THE GREEN LIDS containers are oven safe and it also says it on the bottom.
Pam Cotterman you are most welcome. I didnt know either until I recently bought my second set (the green ones). I bought the clear tops the first time and loved them. If you decide to order, Groupon has great deals. They allow you to select different size-packages.
Thank you, I definitely needed a little kick to get rid of all my plastic containers. They are all gone! And thank you for the prep video. Waiting for more!
I am so happy to have found you and made my life to start making healthy choices and taking good care of my health and wellness. . These containers were really nice and so I bought them in Amazon.
Hi, So nice to find you I'm always looking for healthy ideas and easy food prep I have a Horrible autoimmune disease I watched you meal prep and then came to your meal prep containers love all your ideas I eat a lot of these foods but now have new ideas on how to make different meals and keep them contained :) again thank you so so much your such a Beautiful person take care always.
You’re videos/content is so very well put together. Very satisfying to watch. I’ve maybe watched a dozen in the last couple of days. I am full blown addicted. You supply great recipes, simple and nutritious. You’re very inspiring. 😊 I just wanted to share.
I just retired and am excited to finally have the time to organize, meal prep and eat healthier. I just love your recipes and have made several to date and and so far we love everything ❤️. I look forward to trying more and appreciate these types of videos too. I am going to check out these storage jars/containers and hopefully get some. Thanks and I’ll definitely keep on watching.
A few seconds into the video and I wanted to mention how you are KILLING the game ✊ ❤️ my biggest issue wasn’t that I couldn’t meal prep, I just wasn’t well equipped because I had Tupperware bowls the size to feed a family at the dinner table instead of single serve containers. I invested in mason jars and different size containers. TJ max and target is a good place for Tupperware and the container store is also good for storing ingredients like vegetables and fruits ☺️😊
I always reuse bought glass containers like honey/jam/nutella/joghurt ect. So I have different sizes of containers at home for free and less garbage. Thank you for your inspiring meal prep videos! 😍
I am in the Chicagoland area and am thrilled you are coming to spend some time with us. It is chilly so dress appropriately and please enjoy your time with us.
This is literally EVERYTHING I have been looking for! These videos make so much more sense than most of the other information out there. Especially the way you do your meal prepping, with a set number of ingredients that you reuse and reinvent throughout the week! So excited to try your approach!
OMG!! You have truly blessed my kitchen, health, and search. I will be meal prepping this weekend and look forward to giving myself this (all the containers) wonderful birthday gift. 😊
I am absolutely loving your videos. I really feel like they are making my life come together! Please do an entire Kitchen and Apartment tour, and also a video on tips about how to get your life together
Love this! So glad you did this video, I've been needing to go to glass storage and get rid of my Tupperware and Rubbermaid containers! Looking forward to more meal preps!
I am looking forward to starting a family and all. And your vidoes are life! I spend hours a night watching these then prepare the following day! I am a new subscriber so I have a lot of videos to catch up on. Thanks for sharing with us!
When I watched your video on Anti-inflammatory Foods your food storage containers really caught my attention... The glass lock containers are the bomb...I want them. Thank you for all you do for us. Victoria💚
Working on being even more environmentally aware... These are wonderful, thank you! Also working on changing my diet, so I've been watching your Vitamix videos... Appreciate ALL of your tips... Be well!
I love what you do. I am changing my ways gradually to eating mainly homemade foods. It’s a gradual process but I’m getting there. I just have to get over the overwhelming feeling I get for making my own bread. That’s going to be a huge step.
I tried out the flexible meal prep last week! It worked so well. I normally don't meal prep because i don't like eating the same meals every day. But prepping ingredients made life easier and i made better choices. Thank you!
I own just as many as you do. For mason jars I prefer to use the brand of Ball and buy the plastic screw on white lids. I bought a set of glass containers from Sams that have ok lids sometimes I have a hard time closing but for the most part they work for me. Not as great as the Glass Lock brand containers. I also have a few Pyrex containers that I bought individually at Target that have snap on lids. Those lids close much better than the set of glass containers that I bought Sams. I cannot stand to put pots and pans in my fridge. I put everything in a Stasher bag or container. Keeps me organized.
Happy my parents are starting to get glass containers. We have a lot of reusable plastic containers but if they ever need to get tossed or something we are replacing them with glass. :)
Looking for a way to store my spice jars when I found you. Wow what great content. I just went out and bought all plastic jars yesterday to organize my cabinet will definitely be exchanging them for glass thank you so much. New subscriber yes!!!!
Great video, thank you. I meal prep for my elderly Mom and she can't handle the glass containers, but I love the stasher bags and will look in to getting some of those for her.
Thank you for sharing these containers....I just ordered my stasher bags kit. So excited! I have been using glass containers and jars for a while now, I just hadn't switched over from 1-time use plastic baggies so I cant wait for them to come in.
I've always had an issue with the lids on glass not sealing as well as plastic. Glad to see the lids have really improved. Love glass as it doesn't stain .
This is a wonderful video, especially because I have just received your meal prep info and this comes in handy. So before any meal prep, let's get these important containers. Thank you Lisa ❤❤❤
Omg! I have glasslock too! While watching your videos, I thought it looks like glasslock but It probably not cuz we live different country. It's really sturdy, durable. I'm super clumsy I break almost every container I got but glasslock never breaked by me lol Even not for oven one too! And never turned cloudy. Silicone zip lock seems good too! Thank you for the information!
The FIRST video I saw of yours was the "poached egg" one. Thanks to you & that video we are obsessed with having PERFECT poached eggs on homemade toasted cinnamon/raisin English muffins with mashed Avocado spread EVERY SUNDAY! 😄 Since then, I've sporadically stumbled onto your videos that have relevance to whatever I'm searching. IE: homemade Almond butter, homemade Almond milk, detox smoothies, & now THIS. I have glass storage containers, Weck & Ball, but the Stasher bags was new to me. I just ordered $140 worth of bags from the Stasher site. They're having a sale. So, this video was the deciding one which has me subscribing to your channel. I ❤️ your content, your presentation, soothing & organized background. Thank you, for sharing your experience, knowledge & helpful routine with us. Blessings from Texas.
Thank you so much for your endless wonderful ideas,knowledge and beauty. I am new to your channel and will be passing you along to my daughters who I know will love and appreciate your videos as well.
Lisa, thank you so much for this video. I've been searching for storage containers to make preparing meals a lot easier and this is quite a helpful resource.
I luv prep video and iam going start from this week but I required containers just in time you posted. And small doubts 1. How many days the food preserves 2. Do we need store in freezer 3. List the foods will last PDF will help me I found you very late but I really appreciate and loved your work
Ceviche citrus salad tomorrow! I have all the ingredients on hand except for two and we’re leaving for vacation in four days. This is a perfect recipe to help eat up all my fresh fruit. Thank you!
Your videos make me smile ear to ear! Thanks for sharing your containers with us. I use the glass lock containers myself. Going to invest in some of those weck containers! ♥️Romi
Did you know that Weck also offers plastic lids for quick closure of every glass they have? I am personally fine with using them as I will keep them forever; my focus is on avoiding one-time-used-plastic. And if you like the le parfait jars with the attached lid, check out the Italian Bormioli brand - they have rectangular ones, which are even better than the round ones because they use up the space in your drawers even better. I will check if the glass-lock containers are available here in Germany/ Switzerland. THanks for sharing
:-)) I LOVE BORMIOLI since decades; their bottles are amazing, and I am using them for my homemade almond-, soy- plantmilks; the new smaller ones for plantbased creams etc. We are an Italian-German-household, so we love the Italian-German-mix in our jars. The "French" jars are getting sold right now. :-)))
I love to pre-make smoothies! I found that I am horrible at making a smoothie in the morning even if I have a frozen bag of smoothie ingredients. So I make multiple smoothies and freeze them in glass jars. Then the night before I take out my smoothie from the freezer and put it in the fridge. By morning it is ready drink! Grab and go breakfast is my style.
Could not agree more with the other reviewers, awesome vid and inspiring to buy glass containers . Lol they are now in my Amazon cart and the doubles are on my Christmas /B-day list ! I would like to know if Ms. Lisa or even another reviewer might have a great tip for LARGE food storage containers, such as 40-50lb rice and beans?? All I can find are plastic air tight ones.
Love it + love u .. i also use glass meal containers instead of the plastic one 👍👍👍 more more more better ... for the meal prep i prep some oats pasta + chicken breast + boiled eggs + mixed veg ... 😍👌👌👌👌 .. we want more of the meal preps 😭❤️
Hi Lisa, just discovered your channel and must congratulate you on the brilliant ideas and info you share. Although I enjoy cooking, I often struggle to create healthy interesting meals on the go. I will take the time to run through all your videos and keep up with future ones! Best wishes, Victoria
Hi, Lisa! This was very helpful. I have recently discovered your channel and have not managed to go through all the past videos. Not yet 😁. Have you already done a video about how to keep all the vegetables, or the most used ones, fresh? I noticed how you keep the celery and the carrots and it is an awesome idea. Any other tips? I am always struggling with this as I started to feel that I waste money on buying organic vegetables and in a couple of days they don’t look fresh anymore because I don’t know what is the best idea for storage. Thank you in advance and thank you for this awesome work you are doing! 👌💯💐🥰
Love the Week jars with the exception of the gasket. They are always too big and make sealing the jars cumbersome. I found the snap on lids much easier to use.
I prefer using the rectangular shaped glass container to save space in the ref or elsewhere, it is always a great idea rather than using plastic which are not BPA free, thank you !😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗
Beautiful storage, too! I switched almost entirely from plastic to glass a few years ago and have never regretted it. That is for foods that go in the fridge. Still lots of plastic in my pantry. I don’t worry about those nearly as much since the food in those is dry and they don’t go through any temperature stress, much breakdown from continual washing, etc. Seems counterproductive to send all that plastic to the landfill just because. I have the Pyrex rectangular dishes and some round, too. I love that they stack so neatly in the fridge and there are no more mystery containers since you can see what’s in them. They come through the dishwasher so much better than plastic, too. And I can buy replacement lids when necessary. The only thing I haven’t loved is that they leak inside my lunch bag if I’m not really careful. I think I’ll get two of the Glass lock containers for my lunches. Thanks for a great video.
Great videos, I will be looking to get these cotainers as I am looking to change all of my plastic ones. Thank you, and got dam you are easy on the eyes. 😊

Downshiftology You are my favorite channel at the moment,I found you last week and I think I already watch half of your videos.
Downshiftology where have u been all my life Lol! Love all the same things u do

The link for this product is not working - Weck Jar Wood Lids
Just found your videos. Such GREAT helpful info. I’ve watched many of them. 😃 You mentioned that some BPA-free plastic isn’t good. I want to get these glass storage with the airtight lids. Are they perfectly safe?
I’ve been slowly saving jars from foods I buy including nut butters, spaghetti sauce, olives, roasted red peppers etc. I run them through the dishwasher and store them.
you know i keep hold of a lot of coffee jars with the screw caps on them
That's what I do and what more people need to be doing. Not buying MORE mass produced crap. our planet is burning, people!
Dawn, that is wonderful!
I save the spaghetti sauce jars. Classico has measurements on the side. That is so useful!
Great way to take care of the environment!
I always use glass containers to store food, they are clean and tidy, and they look beautiful
@@blueconversechucks I agree about reusing jars, but our planet is not burning. That's just propaganda..
This is my perfect inspiration I was looking for. I changed already my kitchen and now I'm changing my container to glass ones. Feels like a spring cleaning 😉
I find your videos so incredibly calming :) You are so great at what you do!
Aww, that's so lovely to hear! I really appreciate your kind words! :) x
I agree, she is great!!!
Calming is a great word for her videos.
Just browsed the comments & I delighted that so many folks are interested in sustainable options. Thank you for your very helpful video.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful!
I’ve ordered the stasher bags and just received my Amazon order of the Glasslock containers. Thanks for your recommendations and I am finally making the transition away from so much plastic containers for my leftovers and meal prep. You’ve been just the inspiration I needed to make it happen.
Wonderful! Enjoy all your new goodies. :)
I just discovered your videos, and can’t wait to view them all. I am gluten sensitive and have had a hard time figuring this out. Your videos are the best thing I’ve ever seen. You are so thorough! Thank you!
Thanks so much Tammy - happy to hear you love the videos! And make sure to check out (and subscribe to) my website as well. All recipes are gluten-free and I'm always sharing new tips. :) x
Don't know what this makes me want more....meal prep food or go container shopping.
Haha. Hard decisions for sure. ;)
Perspective Portions I agree. I just bought some glass containers last month. Now I need to consider the zip lock replacements. I don’t know how many I’ll need. I hope to use some in the freezer but since I make a smoothly daily it’s just too expensive to get at least 30 so I may need to consider alternatives for frozen bananas, berries & greens. I made some hockey pucks of frozen collards that I steamed but I’m not a fan. My blend is good but not ideal.
Ya that sounds like it would be a lot. I'd try a few of the bags out first to see how you like them. Maybe a shorter rotation would work?
Perspective Portions i’m thinking both!
Both 😍
I'm really glad you made this video! Every time I i watch your food prep videos, I always find myself wondering about the containers you're using, so this was super helpful!
it's official - I HAVE NOW BECOME AN ADULT!
Totally understand. You know you have adulted once you move out of patents house and you have to cook and do your own laundry.
I’m 51-3/4 but I’m still a kid!
Hehe…
LMAOOO felt that
congratulations!
it feels good right?
I just bought some of your recommendations, thank you. I have made your spring meal prep yesterday. Just had my first homemade Greek salad. It was great.
Gosh. This really helps, i am to be Zero waste or close to it as well as effective and sustainable. This helps me so much. I am going to make life better. I will be able to use the bags for snacking in my nursing shift, better for my healthy snacking. I will use the rest fir meal prep. Very happy.
wow I like so much thanks for the info, I prefer the glass conteiner because the plastics get smelly

Mrs Street ~ Thx - I will surely go there to get a deal. I work at Ross part time, so I get a good deal there as well with my discount ☺
I didn't know that either about the green lids. Good to know! Thanks!
Mrs Street I got mine at Costco
Thank you, I definitely needed a little kick to get rid of all my plastic containers. They are all gone! And thank you for the prep video. Waiting for more!

We have a lot of reusable plastic containers but if they ever need to get tossed or something we are replacing them with glass. :)
Your channel is a great find. Please share refrigerator organisation tips; especially fruits and vegetables for a longer shelf life
I actually will be sharing all those tips in my upcoming meal prep cookbook 😉 Here's all the information for it: downshiftology.com/cookbook/
Looking for a way to store my spice jars when I found you. Wow what great content. I just went out and bought all plastic jars yesterday to organize my cabinet will definitely be exchanging them for glass thank you so much. New subscriber yes!!!!
Welcome to the Downshiftology community Gail! 😊
Great video, thank you. I meal prep for my elderly Mom and she can't handle the glass containers, but I love the stasher bags and will look in to getting some of those for her.
Thanks Elsa! And yes, those Stasher bags are great. :)
Those stasher bags look great! I’ve been looking for a plastic alternative and I think these may be it. Thanks for sharing, Lisa.
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it Sharon!
SO happy I found your channel. Your videos are so informative, clear, and well done! Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! Happy to hear you enjoy them!!
Thank you for sharing these containers....I just ordered my stasher bags kit. So excited! I have been using glass containers and jars for a while now, I just hadn't switched over from 1-time use plastic baggies so I cant wait for them to come in.
Awesome! Hope you enjoy the Stasher bags!
I am a bit late on discovering these videos but I AM IN LOVE!!! Thank you so much for doing these :)
I've always had an issue with the lids on glass not sealing as well as plastic. Glad to see the lids have really improved. Love glass as it doesn't stain .
Yes, glass is especially great for red pasta sauces! ;)
Definitely would love more meal prep videos! Love this breakdown of your containers. Great video
I have another meal prep video posting today! :)
This is a wonderful video, especially because I have just received your meal prep info and this comes in handy. So before any meal prep, let's get these important containers. Thank you Lisa ❤❤❤
Amazing! Can't wait for you to start meal prepping Juliet 😊
Omg! I have glasslock too!
While watching your videos,
I thought it looks like glasslock but It probably not cuz we live different country.
It's really sturdy, durable.
I'm super clumsy I break almost every container I got but glasslock never breaked by me lol Even not for oven one too! And never turned cloudy.
Silicone zip lock seems good too! Thank you for the information!
I love these videos. It’s so easy and I’m learning so much about better ways to store fresh cut up foods. Thank you!
Glad you like them! 😊
Who are U?!
You are amazing.
I love organizing & U are my inspiration.
The FIRST video I saw of yours was the "poached egg" one. Thanks to you & that video we are obsessed with having PERFECT poached eggs on homemade toasted cinnamon/raisin English muffins with mashed Avocado spread EVERY SUNDAY! 😄
Since then, I've sporadically stumbled onto your videos that have relevance to whatever I'm searching.
IE: homemade Almond butter, homemade Almond milk, detox smoothies, & now THIS.
I have glass storage containers, Weck & Ball, but the Stasher bags was new to me. I just ordered $140 worth of bags from the Stasher site. They're having a sale.
So, this video was the deciding one which has me subscribing to your channel.
I ❤️ your content, your presentation, soothing & organized background.
Thank you, for sharing your experience, knowledge & helpful routine with us.
Blessings from Texas.
Mason jars are airtight and do not leak. Lids are replaceable. Perfect storage in a variety of sizes. Win Win
I am loving all of your meal prep videos.
Thanks for the inspiration!
You're more than welcome Lauren!
You are the Julia Childs of organization. Watching your food prep video left me searching for containers. Thanks for listening!!
Haha. I'll take that compliment! ;) x
Love all your videos. Super sharp, super clear, smart, motivational
I appreciate that! 😊
Thank you so much for your endless wonderful ideas,knowledge and beauty. I am new to your channel and will be passing you along to my daughters who I know will love and appreciate your videos as well.
Thanks so much Susan! I'm so happy you love my videos. :)
Always a pleasure to learn from you, what's in the box stays in the box🎦🎦🎦
Stacher bags is a cool idea
I have a meal prep system and your suggestion of glass storage containers is an excellent suggestion that I will use thanks.
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it!
Lisa, thank you so much for this video. I've been searching for storage containers to make preparing meals a lot easier and this is quite a helpful resource.
Glad this video came in handy! 😊
I love that you mentioned the stasher bags I will definitely buy them I hate having to keep use plastic
Yes, they're great!
I luv prep video and iam going start from this week but I required containers just in time you posted. And small doubts
1. How many days the food preserves
2. Do we need store in freezer
3. List the foods will last
PDF will help me
I found you very late but I really appreciate and loved your work
I’m new to ur channel and I’m already in love with you! You are so educated. I just love to listen to you. God bless you. Lots of hugs from NY
Aww, thanks so much! :) x
Love your videos you inspire me to be more organized 👍👍♥️
Thank you again for your healthy life suggestions. I am encouraged. Safe journey and have fun.
Thanks so much!
Ceviche citrus salad tomorrow! I have all the ingredients on hand except for two and we’re leaving for vacation in four days. This is a perfect recipe to help eat up all my fresh fruit. Thank you!
Sound like a perfect plan! Hope you enjoy the recipe and have a wonderful vacation! :)
I'm from INDIA 🇮🇳 ... love your channel n all your videos.. Thank u dear 😊
Your videos make me smile ear to ear! Thanks for sharing your containers with us. I use the glass lock containers myself. Going to invest in some of those weck containers! ♥️Romi
Yay, so happy to hear that! That's awesome you're already using the Glasslock containers and I definitely love my Weck Jars. :) Thanks Romi! x
Did you know that Weck also offers plastic lids for quick closure of every glass they have? I am personally fine with using them as I will keep them forever; my focus is on avoiding one-time-used-plastic.
And if you like the le parfait jars with the attached lid, check out the Italian Bormioli brand - they have rectangular ones, which are even better than the round ones because they use up the space in your drawers even better.
I will check if the glass-lock containers are available here in Germany/ Switzerland. THanks for sharing
Yes! I have a few of those plastic lids for quick closure (usually on my juice jars). Great point about Bormioli brand as well. Thanks!
:-)) I LOVE BORMIOLI since decades; their bottles are amazing, and I am using them for my homemade almond-, soy- plantmilks; the new smaller ones for plantbased creams etc.
We are an Italian-German-household, so we love the Italian-German-mix in our jars. The "French" jars are getting sold right now. :-)))
I LOVE BORMIOLI SO MUCH! Their fido jars are my favorite 😍
I also recommend Bormioli Rocco, they make a great product.
You are a genius!! Can’t believe I haven’t found your channel until now. Keep up the videos!!
Aww, thanks so much!
Just discovered your videos and I LOVE watching you. Informative videos.
Glad you like them Helen :) And welcome to the Downshiftology community!
I love to pre-make smoothies! I found that I am horrible at making a smoothie in the morning even if I have a frozen bag of smoothie ingredients. So I make multiple smoothies and freeze them in glass jars. Then the night before I take out my smoothie from the freezer and put it in the fridge. By morning it is ready drink! Grab and go breakfast is my style.
That's also a great way to prep smoothies 😊
I really enjoy your videos; they are super helpful.
Thank you very much.
I did enjoy it. Salmon and sauteed Brussels sprouts.
I learn a lot about how to prepare the food thanks a lot.
Could not agree more with the other reviewers, awesome vid and inspiring to buy glass containers . Lol they are now in my Amazon cart and the doubles are on my Christmas /B-day list ! I would like to know if Ms. Lisa or even another reviewer might have a great tip for LARGE food storage containers, such as 40-50lb rice and beans?? All I can find are plastic air tight ones.
You’ve really inspired me to meal prep eat more healthy! Thank u!
That's wonderful to hear Robin!!
Thanks for sharing your Meal Prep Container. Love you videos
Love this video. I’m in love with glass too!
Yes to glass! It's the best for reheating as well. So easy! :)
Love love love ❤️ 💕 this video. Please show how you clean the Stasher bags...thanks!
I just place them on the top rack in my dishwasher. :)
Love your video, follow it all the time ! Big thank you 😃😃
Love it + love u .. i also use glass meal containers instead of the plastic one 👍👍👍 more more more better ... for the meal prep i prep some oats pasta + chicken breast + boiled eggs + mixed veg ... 😍👌👌👌👌 .. we want more of the meal preps 😭❤️
Thanks Lozah! And that sounds like some great meal prep. Yum!! :)
I am so happy I found you. Great work!
Hi Lisa, just discovered your channel and must congratulate you on the brilliant ideas and info you share. Although I enjoy cooking, I often struggle to create healthy interesting meals on the go. I will take the time to run through all your videos and keep up with future ones! Best wishes, Victoria
Thanks so much Victoria for your kind words and I'm happy to hear you love my videos! :) x
Hi, Lisa! This was very helpful. I have recently discovered your channel and have not managed to go through all the past videos. Not yet 😁. Have you already done a video about how to keep all the vegetables, or the most used ones, fresh? I noticed how you keep the celery and the carrots and it is an awesome idea. Any other tips? I am always struggling with this as I started to feel that I waste money on buying organic vegetables and in a couple of days they don’t look fresh anymore because I don’t know what is the best idea for storage. Thank you in advance and thank you for this awesome work you are doing! 👌💯💐🥰
bought the glass containers right after this. thank you!
Love the Week jars with the exception of the gasket. They are always too big and make sealing the jars cumbersome. I found the snap on lids much easier to use.
Most people usually gravitate towards one brand or the other. Glad you've found what works for you! :)
I prefer using the rectangular shaped glass container to save space in the ref or elsewhere, it is always a great idea rather than using plastic which are not BPA free, thank you !😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗
I agree, the rectangular ones are my favorite as well. :) Glad you enjoyed the video!
Beautiful storage, too! I switched almost entirely from plastic to glass a few years ago and have never regretted it. That is for foods that go in the fridge. Still lots of plastic in my pantry. I don’t worry about those nearly as much since the food in those is dry and they don’t go through any temperature stress, much breakdown from continual washing, etc. Seems counterproductive to send all that plastic to the landfill just because. I have the Pyrex rectangular dishes and some round, too. I love that they stack so neatly in the fridge and there are no more mystery containers since you can see what’s in them. They come through the dishwasher so much better than plastic, too. And I can buy replacement lids when necessary. The only thing I haven’t loved is that they leak inside my lunch bag if I’m not really careful. I think I’ll get two of the Glass lock containers for my lunches. Thanks for a great video.
Great videos, I will be looking to get these cotainers as I am looking to change all of my plastic ones.
Thank you, and got dam you are easy on the eyes. 😊
Please do a fridge and freezer organization video!
It's on my to do list! :)
Love how you store everything. Can you please put the exact size jars you have and what size stasher bags you have.
