![TREASURE - 'KING KONG' COMEBACK SPECIAL [THE TREASURE SHOW]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Jx1wyMaQzf0/mqdefault.jpg)
Hi friends, I hope you’re having a good 2020 so far! Today I’m showing you my ideal way to meal prep: it’s easy, efficient, affordable, and adds a lot of variety to your diet. What kind of videos would you like to see next?
LOVE your meal prep videos. And Instant Pot!
more personal, everyday stuff - like your beauty routine or your gratitude practice :)
Why not put the squash in the insta pot?
Grocery hauls?
faye carter You could certainly do that, but I think it has more flavor when you roast it in the oven instead of steam in the IP :) Also for the Instant Pot, make sure you buy a squash that is on the smaller size, otherwise it won’t fit in there… unless you have the larger 8 quart size!
I just did this entire prep today. I have never felt so accomplished in so little time. So so so so good.... my meal prep has been a little lack luster and this got the juices flowing again! More videos like this please!!
Aww i *love* that! Thanks for sharing, Sarah. So nice to feel accomplished in the kitchen!
I am impressed by so many things in this video!
1. Nisha's hair - shiny and flawless.
2. A 15-minute video without any fluff.
3. the PDF guide is amazing - I've never seen one so detailed.
aww Nedina! How sweet are you! Thank you for this lovely list of things I’m glad you found the PDF useful!
As soon as I played this video I noticed how nice her hair is and wasn't thinking about food.
Completely agree! And in this same order lol
We appreciate how much work goes into filming a video like this. So amazingly helpful and engaging to watch.
I’m glad you can tell haha. this one took so long to put together and edit so I’m extra glad you appreciate it. Thank you Liz!
@@MithunKalvala6 That's all, eh? This is the third time I've watched this over the last year. Nisha's rule of doing this in 2 hours is not possible for me (yet). Have you done the meal prep in 2 hours on a Sunday afternoon? Would love to know since it's so easy....
Real talk
I see a lot of meal prep videos, but most times I never get around to making any of them. But omg, this pdf! 14 pages of details, shopping list, some ingredients converted to grams (
Aww thank you Kristine! I am so glad you appreciate the PDF! Hope you'll enjoy this meal prep!
Finally someone who remembers that kale is a bit tough without massaging. A number of years ago I fell in love with raw kale salads using the massage trick. Kale salads became popular. Eventually no one prepped the kale with massaging anymore and frankly I felt like a goat munching through the tough salads. I almost never get a salad with kale in it anymore unless I know it is properly prepped.
A goat munching through salads made me LOL
I’m a college student trying to eat more plant based and I struggle with keeping track of food during the week. This was so helpful! Definitely will try it out!
Definitely can be difficult trying to eat healthy as a college student (I remember lots of late night eating lol). I'm glad this was helpful!
I suffer from IBM so this vegan diet is really going to work for me. Thank you so much, Nisha for your hard work. I am turning Vegan from now on
Omg girl this is one of the better meal preps I’ve seen - and I know it took you a ton of work! Great job!! This one is so inspiring!!
Thank you sweetie! So glad you think so and are inspired by it! Sending you hugs!
Wow, this video popped up in my recommended videos on the home screen. I am impressed by your concise, clear speaking voice and detailed video as well as showing the bigger picture. I feel inspired by you and definitely making sure I'm subscribed.
Hi Susan, happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and the content. Thank you so much for your support :)
I hardly see such well done, thoughtful, smart, professional videos sharing very high quality content and showing actually healthful food! Kudos and Thanks! Subscribed.
Hi Shachi! What a sweet comment. I'm so happy you think so and thank you for being here!
You are SO pleasant! Your video is kindly to the point (very refreshing), well thought out, thorough, and somehow warm & down to earth at the same time. You're rather amazing, thank you!
And a great PDF, so thoughtful! High production values as well. Sheesh, how capable can one person be!!!
That's so nice to hear. I appreciate your kind feedback and sweet words. Haha, I suppose I work really hard and love what I do :)
I love these types of meal prep - where separate elements of a dish is prepared rather than the exact same meal. I will try the wild rice dish, the combinations of seeds, rice and grains sounds very delicious
Would love more meal prep vids like this! Love that you use the different ingredients to make different combos! I get tired of eating the same thing but have to prep ahead or I end up not eating well during the busy week.
I'm glad you enjoyed this video, Lydia! I love to meal prep that way too. I will plan to do another one!
I have, for the first time, massaged my Kale in lemon juice!! OMG! Thank you! I now have a better relationship with my Kale! :D
Thank you for showing us how real food that is easily accessible and prepared but not bland. My family and I have gained so much for your videos!
Thanks for your sweet comments and feedback Jeanie. So nice to hear that your family finds my videos useful!
I LOVE how concise and thorough your videos are!! They're so easy to follow along, truly useful and enjoyable to watch (great production value!). Thank you so much :)
You have no idea how excited I am for this! I am amazed at the value I got with the PDF and I'm excited for the fresh ideas. My husband and I meal prep for lunch every week, so this will be fun to try next week.
Aww that makes me so happy to hear. I am glad you found the PDF to be so valuable. I think my past skills as a lawyer kicked in because I was like "must include as much useful info in a very organized way" lol. I hope you and your hubby will have fun with this during your next meal prep :)
I just roast my garlic whole, no cutting, no wasting aluminum foil or parchment paper.
I would love to see how you warm things up before putting them together. Or do you just eat them cold from fridge?
I've read that you don't reheat rice.
I'm going back and rewatching your old videos and realized i never saw this one! So excited to have new meal prep ideas! Just in time for this winter too
This is the best meal prep video I have ever seen! I know this took a lot of time to create and all of the recipes look amazing!
Thank you Taylor! So nice to hear it's the best meal prep video you've seen :)
I'll try it tomorrow. I hardly ever prepare so much in advance. Thanks.
I would like to say thank you so much for the recipes. I appreciate all the work of putting together the grocery list, steps of the order of cooking and the recipes together. This has made my life so easy. My husband has begun the journey of becoming vegan. I still eat at least one non vegan meal and my daughter will eat it but still wants meat with her meals. Your fabulous recipes are so delicious and flavorful. My daughter loved the meals so much that she is actually considering going vegan. She did say as long as I keep making great meals like these. Needless to say I will be purchasing your cookbook and will be a life long subscriber. I love that your recipes do not use the “fast food” type items from the grocery store freezer section. Thank you for sharing, please keep up the fabulous work. You have converted two people.
You are so very welcome and thank you for your lovely comment. So happy that I have helped your family eat more plant based and enjoy it too :) That's the best feedback I can ask for!
I just realized I have your instant pot cook book. I love it so much and have made a bunch of recipes from it. I had no idea you had a TH-cam channel!
You're seriously the best at what you. So informative, actually helpful, creative, clear. I don't know what else to say. Thank you so much.
Yay, you’re back! Missed your videos. Thank you for the helpful meal prep tips! 💗
Aww that’s nice to hear! Took some time off in December to spend time with my family during the holidays. And wanted to get this one up sooner but it was quite the beast of a video to film and edit, took way longer than I anticipated 😆
I want to thank you so very much for this full of meal options video as I am now on Daniel's fast and I want to have the most clean and nutritious meals and your meals are just that !
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your meal prep videos.
Aww thanks lady! So glad you do :)
This is a great video. Straight to the point wish more videos were like this. All the recipes were amazing too. Although there was a lot of unnecessary oil used I’ll be using these recipes of course omitting the oil.
Thank you - you are the best! New to Vegetarian, confused by some things, so your PDF is the so valued by me.
This is the first of your videos I've seen, and I loved it! You have great ideas, and you present in an understandable and efficient way. I'm hitting the grocery store in the morning with this meal prep as my baseline for ingredients!
Thank you, Leslie! So happy you found the ideas to be easy and efficient. Hope you'll enjoy the meal prep!
It's the second time I do meal prep your way and with your recipe. I have never loved meal prep before. I like the versatility of plates I can build throughout the week. I I really love this method.
I have been searching meal prep recipes for the last hour, but got just overwhelmed. I wanted it to be diverse and easy! Also you used all the ingredients I had in mind. I'm new to Kale though. I love that you are very effcient in your talking ♥ Usually I never comment or download guides, but I just downloaded your PDF file and it looks great! Thanks for all your work and effort !!
This is the best vegan prep video I've seen since going wfpb. And your video on giving yourself a break when deciding to stop eating meat & dairy is also stellar. I just bought your instapot cookbook, and can't wait to try it on the instapit I also just bought. Good work! Thank you!
i love this form of meal prepping. FANTASTIC video . Straight to the point, easy to follow plus the added PDF.
Thanx, good start. Vegan for life...and for the animals !🗣🌱
This popped up for me to watch and I am so glad TH-cam made the match! The best Mel prep video I have ever seen. Thank you! Please do more of this style - so helpful. This will be our meals next week!
Hi Kathleen, so happy to hear it was the best meal prep video you've seen :) I hope you'll enjoy the meals next week!
Um, where has your channel been all my life?! Also I have your Instant Pot cookbook! 🤯 love the cookbook and this video is so great! Thank you for sharing such amazing recipes and content!
I love the way you meal prep ! I never thought I could meal prep bc I would get bored but I'm def gonna try this
Thank you! Looking forward to more. Made the tofu, butternut squash and Brussels sprouts today. The family loved it. ❤️
That makes me so happy to hear :) I am so glad your family enjoyed it. We have brussels sprouts and butternut squash in our fridge this week too!
Happy new year dear Nisha! I love your channel!!💐💐💐
I’m laughing because this is such a feast for the eyes and the stomach. When I changed to a vegetarian diet, I very quickly got bored.... none of that here! You’re very engaging, your knowledge is to be admired and I’m learning so much from you. You’re fab! Thank You, Honey. Love to you from England. xxx
Only a few minutes into this video, and I can already tell it's gonna be an amazing, info-packed, yummy video!
Aww thanks Sandy! I appreciate it. Definitely lots of info packed into this one!
You and your book are amazing!! Please keep this coming!!
Thank you so much Bhavana. So happy you love my book and channel, I appreciate it!
Just found you!! Love she doesn't BS in her videos! So excited to learn from you!
Well this was just genius! I struggle with meal prep as it can get boring but this was really inspiring. Thank you 💚
Came across your video in my feed
And I must say Haven’t seen a food

Put it together very beautifully 😊
Aw I am glad to hear :) Thank you for the lovely feedback, Ladawn!
You are doing a great job Nisha! These meals looks delicious, simply to made and affordable! We don’t ask for more 😃😃
Completely drooling over all the possible meal combos especially the grain bowls with the wild rice. I love that all the ingredients are accessible to many people and the variety of cooking methods. You make me even more excited for weekly meal preps!
Aww hi Helen! Thank you dear. So much variety, indeed :) Meal prep can be fun and exciting!
This was amazing ! I learned so much from watching this video. You really should have your own vegan cooking show! Thank you so much! I sure hope that happens ! Thank you again! Janice
Hey Janice, I'm so glad you learned so much from this video :) Hopefully a cooking show will happen one of these days!
wow, why did I just stumble upon your videos!!?

As a busy uni student this is actually perfect. Love it.
Nisha! this is soooo amazing!! Thank you for laying this all out for us - def going to try prepping these beauties!!!!
Hey Nick! Thanks for stopping by and so happy you enjoyed the ideas and video :)
I wanted to tell you I just finished making the butternut squash, the wild rice salad, and the beans....everything is DELICIOUS! I have so much food to eat on for the next week 😀 New to vegan life and so far, this is great! Thank you!
Very informative,inspiring and great overall video to watch!
I really really enjoyed it !
Thank you very much for all the info and ideas Nisha! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! So happy you loved the video and the ideas. Hope you'll get some inspiration in the kitchen :)
I am blown away by all your knowledge and cooking expertise for such a young person!!
Aww thank you! i learned how to cook as a teen. but i am probably older than you think lol (I am 32).
will be trying out these this week i just bought your book and ive had an instant pot a few months but never felt ready to try it after seeing you book you have given me 1 the confidence to try vegan and also to use the instant pot thank you so much
I received your book for Christmas and I didn't even know you had a youtube channel but oh boy do I love it!! Your way of looking at meal prep is so refreshing and interesting! Also THANK YOU for NOT having an annoying and endless intro like most youtubers nowadays :) Keep on the great work!!
Hi there! So nice to hear you have my cookbook and yay, welcome to my channel! I used to have much longer intros...I have come a long way lol
Thank you for these great videos and vegan recipes! I enjoy watching as you are delightful and engaging!
OMG this video is incredible! I learnt more about vegan cooking in this 15 minutes than in the lasst 4 years! THANK YOU!!!
So so happy to see your videos again, and I especially like this video. I’m a nerd for food prep too. I’m on the road for 4-5 days at a time, so meal prep definitely cuts down on eating out (and sometimes my job sends me to places where it’s hard to get around, or find anything vegan). Dude, I never would’ve thought to save the apple peels for apple cinnamon tea! I’m going to have to try that! Thank you Nisha!
aww how sweet are you! I am so glad you like this video. It must be difficult to eat well while you're traveling so much but glad you are able to meal prep. And yes, it's a nice alternative to tea bags :)
First time watching one of your videos & I had to subscribe on the spot because this video was so well-organized & edited. The meal ideas were also delicious, manageable & cost effective!
That's so nice to hear :) Thank you for your kind comment and glad you found the video informative!
This video is amazing!! Tysm for sharing it Nisha. Ty for all the hard work you put into your channel. Your videos are helping me implement a more plant based diet, and I am learning so much!
hi Pam! So glad true learning how to eat more plant based and so happy I could be of help in your new journey. Thank you i
Breaking out the pen and paper for this one - so many useful tips and ideas here. Thank you!
Aww love to hear that! Glad you’re finding the info and tips useful, Sarah!
Me, too. This is my second time watching (this time with note-taking tools since I can't find the PDF).
This is amazing!!! Thank you so so so much! It is wonderful that you show seasonal prep/cooking. I love to eat raw most of the time, but in Wisconsin in deep winter I crave these warming foods. The PDF is very helpful and so detailed! Fantastic channel ❤️
Oh my you must be so cold in Wisconsin! I am glad that you enjoy my videos and the seasonal ideas :) Thank you!
One of your best videos. 👏🏼🤗
Just found you and in LOVE this!, I am newly vegetarian so working, kids schedule and life make it hard. This is great and I have been loving to prep on Sundays! Thank you so much!
Yay, welcome to my channel :) Congratulations on your new vegetarian lifestyle! I hope you will find this meal prep easy and satisfying!
RainbowPlantLife I have been living your tips!!
Everything looks flippin delicious 😄
So happy you think so :)
You make it look easy!!😁
Thank you for making veganism easier
I just made this yesterday as my very first meal prep and it's just awesome! Every day I am in front of the fridge wanting to eat but not prepare anything XD So this is just perfect. Everything is ready and I just have to decide what I want and put it on the plate :D
I love the speed of your videos and the PDF guide is just amazing. Keep going like that and please do more of those "mix and match" meal preps!
And thx for for putting grams and ml in your PDF guide :D
This is right up my alley, please make more of these videos. I will share it with my co workers, I plan on making everything you just showed Thank YOU!!!
Thank you Teresa! So nice to hear that you loved the video and thank you for sharing it with your coworkers :)
I LOOOOVE this video! All your vids! You make veganism easy and achievable!
So glad I was recommended this randomly! Love the detail and ease of prep! Subbed
Yay youtube recommended video algorithm haha. I am so glad you enjoyed the video :)
You're one of the best vegan food yt channels I've come across. I love your recipes
Love this! Lots of info clearly presented. Thank you 😊
I love this!!
Can't wait to try this on the weekend it looks so good!
Best video on TH-cam!!!! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for these helpful
ideas! Loved the sautéed apples! I added red onion and minced ginger! Delicious!!
Just did everything you mentioned (besides the apples) and it was super easy and tasty.
Highly recommend !
I love your videos so much!!! Thank you!
This looks like an awesome meal prep! Meal prepping is wonderful. It's really the only way that I can make sure that I eat sometimes with my busy schedule. Thanks for the awesome video!
Thanks for the lovely feedback! It really is such a time saver when you have a busy schedule. When I don’t meal prep, I’m usually ordering a vegan pizza 😂
@@RainbowPlantLife For me it's a can of soup! #gradstudentlife
Very good recipe. And I like you calm, natural and real. Be yourself ❤️
I've had many attempts at meal preps before but this PDF really was the gating factor that has gotten me to actually place the ingredients in my cart, buy them & feel like I can pull this one off! Thank you for your thoughtfulness & care in creating the PDF; I added numbers on each page so I could keep them in order better {I keep mine in a Winter Meal Prep folder}. Happy & grateful to be a new sub...much love & appreciation! 🙏🏼❤️
Woohoo! I am glad you're feeling determined. Thank you for your sweet comment - so happy the PDF has been helpful for you and you've made it even more organized. Makes me happy!
THANK YOU ……… I just started eating plant strong /whole food & loved your ideas....
I'm so glad you enjoy my ideas and hope they'll give you some inspiration as you start your plant strong lifestyle!
This is a wonderful meal prep. It was easy and delicious. My new favorites are the tofu & the winter mash
Happy New Year, Nisha!
Thank you Kate! Hope your new year is off to a good start!
I just ordered your cookbook and looking forward to using it!
Oh yay! That makes me so happy :) thank you for the support!
Wow, you must be in synch with me today. I just got home from the store with butternut squash and Brussels sprouts, but no plan. I have all the rest of your ingredients except the wild rice, so I am subbing in quinoa. I can’t wait to make the apple cinnamon for my oatmeal tomorrow. You are a rock star, love your recipes and your channel. It is going to feel so good to meal prep tomorrow and then knowing I have meals for most of my busy week. Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy your weekend. 💜
Yay, that's so great to hear, Kelly! Quinoa will be perfect for this meal prep too. I appreciate the love and support. Have a great rest of your weekend!
OMG! you are now my RainbowPlantLife "guruji"... you are making my cooking look like a pro. I've tried your creamy white bean soup, Indian Curry lentils, Hummus, and more, my family has enjoyed it so much my husband says he will marry me again :) (we've been married for 25 years :)) thanks for lifting us up during these crazy pandemic days. Happy Holidays.
I’m making this wild rice bowl! Thank you! I love your channel!
i fell in love with you with this video! i am a subscriber! Meal Prep is my biggestt challenge and a caregiver and vegan! You are a godsent!
Yay, I'm so happy to have you here and glad you loved the video. Hope meal prepping will be a bit easier now :)
