Love that you guys are doing this! pro tip: if you want to include fresh salads/veggies try not to put dressing on them, this makes the salad go soggy really fast and also try to do them in a separate container, that way you can heat up your chicken/rice or whatever in the microwave and not heat up the salad. :)
This is great! I don’t know if anyone has said it yet but I would set the bag of chicken in a bowl or container in case it leaks and always put raw chicken in the bottom of the fridge under any veg or ready to eat food to prevent cross contamination. I have drawers in the bottom of my fridge and I use the one at the very bottom for any raw meats
@@janerin3531 I don’t think she’s trying to lose weight rather than actually just eating healthy. You can be skinny and unhealthy .. I think Tara is creating better choices for her health in the long run rather than focused on losing weight ✨
Great work Tara, proud of you!. My overnight oats are: Rolled oats Milk of choice (2 to 1 ratio, I use almond). Tablespoon peanut butter Tablespoon Chia seeds Teaspoon vanilla essence Teaspoon maple syrup 👍🏼 so yum
how I do my overnight oats: 1/2 rolled oats 3/4 cup almond milk 1 tablespoon of chia seeds dash of cinnamon one scoop of vanilla protein powder 1 tsp of vanilla almonds, blueberries, and strawberries and sometimes honey for toppings I mix the protein power, cinnamon, vanilla, and almond milk in a blender bottle and then pour it onto the oats and chia seeds!
You’re doing an amazing job! I would recommend tracking your food for a day or 2 just to get an idea on your caloric intake! That way you can make sure you’re in a deficit which is how you lose body fat! Everything you cooked looked delicious! 😋😋😋
Totally sealing some of these ideas! I'm a teacher and the last thing you want to do while exhausted is think of healthy options to take to school. Going to try the overnight oats for breakfast and snack boxes for my lunch! Thanks so much.
Cold Brew Overnight Oats! 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup milk of choice, 2 tablespoons coffee or cold brew, 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup, dash salt, dash vanilla extract. Adjust milk based on how runny or thick you like your oats.
My absolute favorite overnight oats recipe is from Pinterest. It’s called apple pie overnight oats! You use oats, almond milk, unsweetened apple sauce, vanilla Greek yogurt, cinnamon, chopped walnuts or almonds, and a chopped up green apple! So so good.
Adam's knife skill 👌!Tara thanks so much you motivate me with every video you post our babies are just 2 weeks apart I feel a lot motivated yo eat and live healthy!Wish you all the blessings with your lovely family.Love from Namibia
For the overnight oats, I would suggest using vanilla almond milk over the vanilla yogurt because the added sugar in yogurt is usually upwards of 20g per 3/4 cup whereas the added sugar in almond milk- if any (it could be stevia) - is usually closer to 10g/cup. It will taste just as good, but with far less sugar! I really recommend the book Brain Warrior’s Ways to get some suggestions on healthy and tasty foods to use for cooking! Thank you for these videos btw. They give me hope for being a mom in the future! 😊
I’m not making fun of you I swear but the way you chopped those veggies had me cracking up lol ❤️ you’re going to be an expert someday, I just know it! 😊
The best thing I ever saw (from Kim at The Wads) was sheet pan meals. I literally make most of my meals oven roasted. Leftover veggies I use in omelets and salads. I cut out sugar (mostly lol) and bread. My clothes fit again and I lost about 10-12 lbs so far. ETA I also try to intermittently fast most days. Cut off at 6pm-ish and eat "breakfast" between 11 and 1.
I loved this video, the healthy stuff carefully measured out, yet the naughty chocolate button sweeties, rough hand measurement… Good luck with the health kick..congratulations with your new home..
You really should give yourself more credit than you do. Cooking is not my favorite past time as well but you make it look so easy and good! Your home is Gourgeous! God Bless!
Hi!! I love these recipes Tara!!🥰 a great overnight oats recipe I love making and that everyone at home loves too is: half oats/ half chia seeds. Frozen blueberries. Cinnamon. A little honey. And I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Stir well a couple of times for the chia seeds to separate. Then, eat in the morning as is or topped with a sliced banana and a very small drizzle of PB if you like!🤗🥰💜😍🙌 x
You should get a veggie chopper, it's the best for meal prepping and also I keep a box of disposable gloves and always use those when I'm making marinades on protein or veggies so I can really spread the marinades or seasonings with my hands with no worries
The chicken would be good with sliced avocado too, if you like it (healthy for body and skin). The meals look good and tasty. I’m sure during the week this will make things so much easier since you are both on the go so much. You did a GREAT job, Tara!
If you sweeten the plain yogurt first with honey or agave it vastly improved the taste. Also I add a little vanilla. That's how I make them for my hubby!
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this or not - it may seem counterintuitive, but the proper way to use a lemon press is to put the lemon half cut-side-down into the press. So the cut side of the lemon will actually be facing down into the rounded cup portion of the press. Also, warm lemons release more juice so nuke it in the microwave for 10 seconds or so before squeezing.
Tara, love this video! What is the small appliance you used for making hard boiled eggs? We had a good one years back but last couple I tried didn’t work good after a couple uses.
Those recipes look so good. I will definitely be trying these. I'm having to do a heart healthy diet & meal prep has become a must have for me or else I will grab something unhealthy. Good luck..you've got this!!!
I don't put yogurt in my overnight oats. I use a base of oats, almond milk, cinnamon and vanilla , then add to that. example i will add apples, or bananas, PB, or walnuts or strawberries etc...Lisa K
So I do: oats+ almond milk+ tiny drizzle of honey + a good sprinkle, maybe like 1/4-1/2 tsp of sugar free cheesecake jello mix! It’s so so good! Shake and then top with sliced almonds and whatever berries!
My fave overnight oats. 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup dairy free milk, cacao nibs, PB2 , flaxseed meal, chia seeds and coconut flakes. I looked on Pinterest for a bunch of peanut butter chocolate recipes because that’s just the best combination LOL
For overnight oats I just mix the milk with whatever flavored protein powder you like and soak the oats in that, and it makes a delicious protein packed oats for the morning! Top with fresh fruit and you’re good 😋
I love over night oats!😃 but I didn't use yogurt. This my prep: 1. cup of oats 2. 1/2 Tbsp of chia 3. 1/2 Tbsp of pure honey 4. Milk 1/2 cup of any: almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or just dairy milk. 5. Mix it & set for overnight. 6. Cut fresh fruit in the morning and add it. P.S I don't like the fruit in the overnight oats because to me they taste soggy. I like fruit fresh cut.
Love these videos! If you get into cooking, I would suggest a patio planter with fresh herbs, like basil, cilantro, Parsley, whatever you use a lot of. You will love being able to go out and cut your own whenever you need it, and they're so easy...just plant and keep them watered!
Nutritional yeast is a great replacement for Parmesan cheese and has great health benefits it tastes very similar Congrats on the new house ! Regards from Sydney
One trick Tara, spray your measuring cup with a bit of oil before putting honey into it. It is a game changer. Great job on the meal prep.
🤯 that’s such a good idea!!!
🤯
Watching you cut that onion up is the cutest and funniest thing 😂

The chicken dish is actually supposed to be eaten cold! But such a great tip if I make a meal prep that needs to be heated! Thank you!
@@tarahenderson love you Tara! And I love your new home, expect you all are feeling happy and safe
❤️❤️❤️
This is great!

@@tarahenderson good job
Honestly loving this season of Tara!! Eating healthy, working out + doing things for yourself!!
Why is trying to lose weight shes gonna turn into a stick
@@janerin3531 I don’t think she’s trying to lose weight rather than actually just eating healthy. You can be skinny and unhealthy .. I think Tara is creating better choices for her health in the long run rather than focused on losing weight ✨
Best is you and Adam working together, my husband would never eat this. He is not adventurous with his food! 🤣
Haha. So funny. So what does he eat?
I love the recipes! You did great and the more you prepare food, the better you will get and the easier it will be. Awesome job!
Great work Tara, proud of you!.
My overnight oats are:
Rolled oats
Milk of choice (2 to 1 ratio, I use almond).
Tablespoon peanut butter
Tablespoon Chia seeds
Teaspoon vanilla essence
Teaspoon maple syrup
👍🏼 so yum
Yes!!!I've been looking forward to this!!
Chocolate PB (banana) Oats:
1/2 cup low fat chocolate milk or chocolate nut milk
1/3 cup old fashioned oats
2 tbsp chocolate pb2
add banana if desired
Sooo yummy!
how I do my overnight oats:
1/2 rolled oats
3/4 cup almond milk
1 tablespoon of chia seeds
dash of cinnamon
one scoop of vanilla protein powder
1 tsp of vanilla
almonds, blueberries, and strawberries and sometimes honey for toppings
I mix the protein power, cinnamon, vanilla, and almond milk in a blender bottle and then pour it onto the oats and chia seeds!
You've been trying this healthy lifestyle for years, I hope this time with success!
Well at least she is trying
Dang if that wasn’t passive aggressive as all get out
You’re doing an amazing job! I would recommend tracking your food for a day or 2 just to get an idea on your caloric intake! That way you can make sure you’re in a deficit which is how you lose body fat! Everything you cooked looked delicious! 😋😋😋
The best overnight oats are: oats, peach yogurt, chopped red grapes and chopped green apples, cinnamon..top with almond milk! 😋Eat cold the next day
Grapes in oatmeal or yogurt? Never thought to try that!
@@Autumn.93 Add red grapes (chopped) to the overnight oats and eat cold, soo good!
My boyfriend loves cut up grapes in his oatmeal or yogurt. I have not tried yet.
Totally sealing some of these ideas! I'm a teacher and the last thing you want to do while exhausted is think of healthy options to take to school. Going to try the overnight oats for breakfast and snack boxes for my lunch! Thanks so much.
Hey Tara,I love the way you are ..You look adorable ..No matter you loose or gain.
Your personality is way too impressive.
Best Wishes💫
Tara I love these easy meal prep videos!! Please do more! I’ve already made all these recipes and made veggie boxes to keep in the fridge! Thank you
Yummy I will have to try! my family does the same tomato and cucumber salad but with Italian dressing and its delicious!
Cold Brew Overnight Oats! 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup milk of choice, 2 tablespoons coffee or cold brew, 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup, dash salt, dash vanilla extract. Adjust milk based on how runny or thick you like your oats.
Waiting for a full house tour of ur new house after everything is in place !
I have a feeling Adam is too excited for this meal prep! Can’t wait to see more recipes! These looked yummy!!!

I LOVE that cloth bowl cover.
The cucumber salad I always make with the Olive Garden Italian dressing and cheese cubes it’s so good, you should invest in a vegetable dicer
If you want cucumbers just for snacking, the mini cucumbers or English cucumbers are SO good
Can I ask why you use Lemmon juice for the fruits and veg is it to keep them fresh ?
I love how you guys are doing this together Tara ❤👏💕

Where are your green and blue mixing bowls with the lids from? Thanks
I love you and your family and the sweet friendly dog! You’re doing everything right and you have a super good taste and creativity!
Loved this. Definitely going to try these ideas. Please do more
Use monk fruit!..It's sugur replacement...add it to those Mason jars❣ Promise it tastes good. 😋
Try doing a sugar free jello mix the cheesecake is really good and it makes them taste better and still healthy in the overnight oats

You can always put vanilla stevia, or honey in the plain yogurt. So it’s still healthy and taste good!
I need to learn how to meal prep I've never done it before it it looks like it saves tons of time especially when your always on the go
wow amazing I can't wait to try it for my family, more meal prep videos please
Meals look good. Thanks for the inspo.

I make my own yogurt in my instapot, add chopped fruit and then add honeyed oats the next morning and it's really yummy!
Cannot wait to see a full home tour!!😘
omg yess im so ready too keep watching more videos looks all good 🥰
Great meal prep!! New to your channel!!
Do you eat the chicken cold in your quinoa meal prep?
Tara, love this video! What is the small appliance you used for making hard boiled eggs? We had a good one years back but last couple I tried didn’t work good after a couple uses.
Tiffany Beaston recently got her egg steamer like that from Amazon and says she loves it!
I got one from target and I think it was either $10 or $15! Works amazing
You’re doing the dang thing, girl! Super proud of you! Tip for overnight oats- use oatmilk!!! They also have vanilla oatmilk too. Super yummy!
You should try banana bread overnight oats! I made it the other night and I really liked it.
Everything looks yummy Tara. I really enjoyed this video. More Please!😘
Love this video and recipes! 💓
Those recipes look so good. I will definitely be trying these. I'm having to do a heart healthy diet & meal prep has become a must have for me or else I will grab something unhealthy. Good luck..you've got this!!!
I really can't wait to try these meal prep.
Tara I forget where did you get your fruit hanging basket??
Yes I would love to know 🙂
Coméis todos los días de la semana lo mismo o congelas para otros días?

I don’t like yogurt in my overnight oats either! I just do oats, almond milk, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and peanut butter
So I do: oats+ almond milk+ tiny drizzle of honey + a good sprinkle, maybe like 1/4-1/2 tsp of sugar free cheesecake jello mix! It’s so so good! Shake and then top with sliced almonds and whatever berries!
I hope your journey is a success! Also congrats on the new house!
Love these! Keep posting videos like this!
Here as one of your new supporters ❤
Mmmmm that chicken with tomatoes 😋😋😋
Do you eat the vegetables with a spoon, they are cut so small?
good job Tara😘😘
My fave overnight oats. 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup dairy free milk, cacao nibs, PB2 , flaxseed meal, chia seeds and coconut flakes. I looked on Pinterest for a bunch of peanut butter chocolate recipes because that’s just the best combination LOL
Great recipe ideas and inspiration! Thank you for sharing!
You could also use a bit of Feta cheese as a healthier cheese option for the bruschetta chicken! It's delicious!
I use plain yogurt but add honey and vanilla extract to it. It's a good way to keep it healthy but add a sweeter flavour
For overnight oats I just mix the milk with whatever flavored protein powder you like and soak the oats in that, and it makes a delicious protein packed oats for the morning! Top with fresh fruit and you’re good 😋
That all looks so good and you look like a pro …💚
I love over night oats!😃 but I didn't use yogurt. This my prep:
1. cup of oats
2. 1/2 Tbsp of chia
3. 1/2 Tbsp of pure honey
4. Milk 1/2 cup of any: almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or just dairy milk.
5. Mix it & set for overnight.
6. Cut fresh fruit in the morning and add it.
P.S I don't like the fruit in the overnight oats because to me they taste soggy. I like fruit fresh cut.
Love this video.. do more please

Everything looks delicious good for you and Adam I think I'm going to be doing this too Love the video ✌️😘👍❤️
I love these kinds of videos honey.
👍You did an amazing job on meal prep. All look so 😋 yummy. Stay blessed and healthy Tara with family..💓👍Love'm All❣️
I love you both working together in the kitchen ✨ such a vibe!
I can only use organic Greek French vanilla yogurt. I agree the plane yogurts just don't taste good.
Hi! Love your content! Would you mind sharing where you got your silverware from? Its pretty.
Did you heat up the meal with the yogurt? Or eat it cold?
Nutritional yeast is a great replacement for Parmesan cheese and has great health benefits it tastes very similar
Congrats on the new house !
Regards from Sydney
Great video! I can't wait to try these recipes!
This is exactly what I needed to watch. Thank you!
I would definitely use a different yogurt if I didn’t like the plain. There’s a lot of other options that are sweet but also healthy 😊
Thanx for nice tips and tricks
I’d love to see more of these videos!
Thanks Tara
I needed this video
Tip I’ve found putting dips on the side so things don’t go saugy
Are the kids eating these meals as well ???
