- It's time for everyone to start building Snack City in your freezer for 2023. Snack City in my neck of the woods was wearing thin so I prepped these Jalapeño Cheddar Broccoli Bites, Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites, and Chicken Fries. Here are links to the recipes:

This video was sponsored by ZWILLING and their Fresh & Save Vacuum Food Storage System. I have been using ZWILLING knives for years and their Fresh & Save Vacuum bags for Snack City for almost a year now so when they reached out and asked if I wanted to collaborate, it was an easy yes. The Fresh & Save Bags and containers are perfect for this Stir Fry application.

On my website there are hundreds of meal prep, snack, and macro friendly dessert recipes that I have developed over the years. There are no targeted ads, no pointless life stories and endless scrolling to get to the ingredient list, just the recipes. I have a subscription based model where Gold Members have access to every recipe on the site, which is under $5/month with annual memberships. If that's not your thing, there is also a Silver level membership that is free for life, still ad free, and you get access to more than 40% of the recipes. Registering to become a member, whether that is a Gold or Silver (free) member, is the best way you can help support what I do. I appreciate all of you more than you know 😎

As a tax paying citizen of Snack City (became a member of your website) I'm glad to see some renovating taking place
I really appreciate your smaller details, like saying you cut it in X many rows by X many columns, or including grams as well as teaspoons. These are solid recipes with clear explanations...which is oddly rare in the cooking world.
Glad it was helpful 😎😎
I got an ungodly amount of broccoli from my aunt because her store couldn’t sell it cause it was slightly yellowed, still perfectly good. I plan on making your broccoli bites tonight as one of the many ways to use up an entire shelf’s worth of broccoli.
It’s soo weird how we got conditioned to buy produce in specific shapes and colors. Every time I see a double chined strawberry I look at it like an alien marvel . I was in my mid twenties when I learned that carrots come in colors other than orange 😂😂😅🤯
Make Broccoli beef! I've been just craving Broccoli lately so I'm so jealous of your Broccoli haul!
how did they turn out?
2:02 I made your chicken nuggets with crushed up tortilla chips as breading after I realized I had none of the other options. To this day my daughter says they were the best nuggets she's ever had.
Crumpling parchment paper just changed my life. Thanks man .
As someone who just bought a new house and am watching my budget in this horrendous market, I appreciate the recipes on your website. I didnt ever think I'd buy into it for any youtube channel but I am super happy I did!
Thanks for your support 😎
Add pork rinds to the Corn Chex. Also this channel has made feeding our kids much easier. We make everything from scratch and it's so easy to get some fries and chicken that you made in 5 minutes. Takes the thinking away.
so glad to hear that 😎
Subscribed purely because your instructions are amazing, you explain why you do stuff in a particular way, and you accommodate for people who dont have every kitchen appliance. You also give ingredients in grams and temperatures in celsius, instead of assuming the only people watching this will be using American units. I can't tell you how refreshing that is. I don't mind looking up a recipe but I hate doing unnecessary maths. (I'm a statistics student, I like *necessary* maths lol)
The pancakes bites look great for a weekday quick breakfast too! Thanks for the recipe!
Just ordered the zwilling bags, looking forward to starting my own Snack City. We've been using your chile lemon chicken recipe for salad toppings and it's been awesome!
PSA A dough scraper aka Bash and Chop helps make picking up stuff like the chopped broccoli easier. Dollar Tree, Walmart, Target, etc carry them.
Thanks for showing this..another way to support myself, when dreams and goals look hard.
got this vacuum sealer not too long ago and it's pretty amazing. love it.
This video was made for me. Thank you, Mayor JC.
This channel is great and I use the recipes every week basically, but buttersworth being better than maple syrup is one hot take.
canadian maple syrup is dogass
Nothing beats real maple syrup. You'd have to have been raised on junk with no taste to think otherwise 😜.
@@rachelmel I hated real maple syrup growing up. As an adult, I’ve changed a lot of things about my diet including real maple syrup(and never letting my own kid try the fake junk), soda water with fruit rather than sprite or mt dew, and eating more simple deserts. Now my daughter and I both can’t take the sugar added “maple syrup.” Actually the other day we were volunteering and they had soda and I had a headache. I grabbed a mt dew for the caffeine and was shocked how syrupy and hard to drink it was. People are raised on junk and our taste buds 100% enjoy what they’re used to. This is why I always try things 3-5 times before deciding whether or not I hate it. For everything except pate it’s been a “I just needed to adjust, this is good actually” experience.
@@Hollenross enjoying soda water is a experience i will never have
@@rachelmel True. Real will always be better
I just love all the helpful details. Thank you!! New subscriber!!
Your visual references help so much. Thanks!
The jalapeno cheddar broccoli bites are incredible. I've made them half a dozen times so far, and they've become a staple in my freezer.
Been meaning to try the chicken fries and pancake bites. Since I’m going to live a long time I’ll be sure to get to them eventually. 😅😅😅
You can take another sheet pan of the same size you spread your chicken or broccoli mixture and "stack" it on top of the mixture, pressing or squishing it into a very even layer, instead of trying to even it out by hand. You might have to use another piece of parchment or some water on the back of the top pan to prevent sticking, but it saves time and gets you an even layer to cut up into uniform portions. Also, depending on your specific goals for the nutrition of the recipe, you can use finely grated hard cheese like pecorino or parmesan as part of the fry breading. The fat in the cheese helps crisp it up and it adds a lot of flavor.
look at mr moonoply over here with his liquid egg whites 😂😂
They are cheaper than real eggs where I’m at and it’s not even close haha. $9.99 at Costco for 6 cartons and a dozen of the cheap eggs at the store was $5.50 the other day 🥶🥶
Snack City is currently in the planning and permitting stages at planet KMac. Very excited for my Zwilling set!
amazing 😎
Really enjoyed this and the commentary. I double dog dare you to get some Costco Maple Syrup and compare with the artificially colored corn syrup you’re using!
These look awesome! Thanks for the calorie info too
crumpling the parchment paper is a pro move!
I got the Zwilling set as a Christmas gift, it turned out to be a great gift, works incredibly well.
glad you enjoy it 😎
I just broke ground on my own "snack city" by ordering the Zwilling set. Now I just need to clear out the old stock to make room.
We’re getting the keys of our house in may. The kitchen has a nice and big oven so I can’t wait for these sheet pan recipes. Snack city here i come.
Congratulations and I hope you enjoy!
One of the best things about this channel is the real is from Josh. I love how he just says” I didn’t feel like doing this” or “it took too much time this time”
Stoked to see a new snack city!
Hi!!!!!! NEW SUB!!!! I'm so excited I found your channel!!!! I started my TH-cam Weight Loss Journey in November (2022). I've been searching for other TH-camrs who have knowledge for this journey. Love the positive vibes!!! I am loving your recipe ideas!!!! 💖💖💖💖
Wow this was so straightforward and easy to understand. Even the ad didn't feel like an ad, was it an ad? I like this channel
I love this guys videos a lot. I feel like he is more my friend than a TH-camr
I love this channel and your Website, but have ever thought about releasing a Recipe Book? would be an instant buy for me
Wow so great this popped in my feed! Great videos and website, I am spreading the word.. 🙌👍
thank you and glad you enjoy 😎
I cook them with a waffle iron because I don't have an air fryer. It's heavenly.
where has this channel been all of my life
the city planning joke got me 😂
Thank you
Oddly enough the best thing about this video is the parchment paper trick. Genius
In return I shall tell all of you a secret. Every roll of parchment paper, aluminum foil, etc come with two tabs to punch on the side that keeps the roll from coming out when you pull. Good, we’re even.
this... is... AMAZING!
THIS IS WHAT I NEEED IN LIFE
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙇🏼♀️🙇🏼♀️🙇🏼♀️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Excellent and hilarious as ever 🙌🏼🙌🏼💐💐😹😹
Try putting the sheet rack directly on the oven rack. Better air circulation. Put tin foil on other rack and place it at the bottom to catch drips.
Love this! I’m. Making these for my teenager! Gives me such peace of mind that he consumes no inflammatory oils.
Broccoli bites are really good.
To add trace amounts of water just wet your hand and continue mixing with your wet hand. You'll never add too much again.( Use a latex glove to save on clean up.)
loving the channel. HEB FTW!
Can you substitute other kinds of flour in the broccoli bites? Thanks love the video!
one day i will be shopping at costco and i will see snack city products in the frozen food section. i can't wait.
"Check out how much this chicken looks like a brain... *sick*" delivered so deadpan. I laughed. I commented. I liked. I subscribed. ^_^
Awesome video
Snack City is the greatest invention ever and you sir are a champion
Outsmart the vegetables. Genius.
Okay you sold me on the Zwillig set!
you just gained yourself a subscriber my friend.
hey, quick question have you ever made or had sambuusa? its great for the snack city community. Its basically just meat with a thin crust and if you add veggies or potatoes it with tastes 100 times better. Just don't add Cauliflower. because lets be honest, Cauliflower is just broccolis inbreed cousin.
I’ve honestly never even heard of it. I’ll have to look it up
genius idea
I made the broccoli bites a while ago and they were surprisingly good! Was hesitant to eat them because of how much they smelt of broccoli lol but it wasn't that big of a deal. Made the pancake bites too (sans choc chips), but wasn't much of a fan. I imagine if they had choc chips they would prob be better but I'll wait till I eat them all to try again lol. I think my favourite recipe on this channel was the pizza bites. Lots of effort but totally worth it. I could easily finish the whole batch in less than half the time it took to make them, but I made sure to make them last.
You had me dying when you said the chicken looked like a brain
Snack City is my dream destination
Damn...why am I so hungry lol.👍👍
would love to see some higher calorie options for those of us not trying to lose weight
Is the Zwilling blender comparable to the Vitamix? As a fellow vegetable hater, I am looking for a good blender to make kale not feel like I am drinking green water with hait in it, but a Vitamix is a little outside my price range. Loving these snack city videos, will check these out on the website
Project Farm performed pretty thorough testing of blenders, Nutribullet came out at 2nd place for 1/6 of price of Vitamix, might be worth a shot. Also, Blendtec is a brand often compared to Vitamix, though their basic models have 2 year warranty (not 10 year) and seem to be a quality compromise.
Pro tip, use 2nd sheet pan covered in plastic wrap to press the chicken flat.
it always sticks to the bottom when i try that 😑
@@TheMealPrepManual Maybe spraying it (the bottom of the pan) with a little nonstick spray?
@@TheMealPrepManual after pressing it down, you unhook the saran wrap from the pan & leave it on the chicken. At that point, you're just lifting the pan off & you peel the saran wrap off the chicken after it freezes
Any tipp for Jalapeno replacement in Brocoli Bites?
Mayor up and start building! LOL
Keep going bro
Legit flinched at the knife at 2:56
good stuff
That Zwilling set looks great. Way more compact than a regular vacuum seal set
I want to buy the starting set using your link, but I've gotten too many adware warnings to use the link in the description.
Is there another way? I'll wait until tomorrow just in case there is.
Cheese grater is a good way to rice broccoli without a food processor
How often do you use the containers I have seen you use the bags a lot bot don't remember seeing the containers getting used
Ima build a Munchie Manor adjacent to your snack city, we'll make chik'n fries out of TVP, our binder will be flax "eggs," and our pancake bites will be gluten free!! Whose with me?! (**crickets**)😂🙃
ETA Ok, my bad, I jumped the gun w one of my assumptions- I see you, Gluten-Free (across the board- nice!!)😉💜✨
Good day from South Africa. Love the channel, Im saving money and loosing weight. One request if I may. I have a very specific diet, I have to cut down on a animal protein and instead get my protein from plants. I know you hate vegetables, so do I but to stay healthy I have no choice. Can you help with a few meal prep ideas?
Joined the site in 2023. I need to make things easier
Thanks for your support 😎
Sadly the promo code only works for US store not UK probably will still buy though as these are super useful product for snack city :)
hmm maybe hit the mini bite muffins with a torch after baking to get a little browning flavor
Really want to get the Zwilling saver setup, but how do you wash the bags out easily? We've tried to use stasher reusable bags before and they're a pain to keep clean, so worried these would be even worse. Thanks for the recipes!
They obviously aren’t as easy as a regular zip lock that can just be thrown away but I use hot soapy water and it gets the job done. It takes some effort which is more than zero
I was looking for a great meal prep snack for trips in my RV (Van). These are great recipes,,,,unfortunately, air fryers take up a tremendous amount of space and are not conducive to RV travel. I suspect the broccoli and muffins won’t work on the stove top or in the microwave. But I’m thinking the chicken might work if quickly fried in some Avocado oil on the stove top.
He actually preps the muffins in the microwave, and I bet the broccoli would work if you did it in a pan!
In the comments someone actually made them on a waffle iron
Its insane what we will do for the sake of convenience
I love snack city😃
i think planing snacks has helped me lost so much weight!
Damn I want a snack city but I would at those pancake bites in 2 sittings 😅
More like one 😂
I’m allergic to chilli and capsicum (but oddly fine with paprika, don’t know why) - do you know if omitting the chilli would make a difference texture/yield-wise, or is it only added for flavour?
Paprika is made from sweet bell peppers so there's not really any capsicum in it.
Can you re-heat the broccoli bites in the oven, if you don't have an air fryer?
If you're having trouble you know never getting into your calorie deficit the problem is snacking if you're like snacking three or four times a day those calories add up a lot of the time if you just use those calories to make your main meals bigger you won't over eat as much because you'll feel Fuller when you actually eat a meal
Yeah, that works for some people for sure. A lot of us need smaller size food more frequently, though.
How easy is it to clean the zip lock bags? How long do the snacks last in the freezer? I'm guessing a month?
You can invert the bag and clean with soap and water :) and ya usually freezer goods can be frozen for 1-3 months until it start tasting freezer burned :(
Gonna do a test of Mrs. Butterworth vs real maple syrup today.
Hi Josh, Love your channel. Any Zwilling deal love for us Canadians ever going to happen?
Unfortunately the countries have separate entities and I only have been contacted by the US company
@@TheMealPrepManual All good. Thanks for the reply. Bought a set anyway. Love your channel! Snack city is coming to my house soon.
9:00 it’s so refreshing to hear a foodie influencer take a stance opposite to the usual “authenticity elitism”. Unfathomably based.
Let’s be real, salsa and queso is the way to go
I like Great Value Butter Flavored syrup.
do baby carrots run when i eat them?
He's right about Mrs. Buttersworth and it needed to be said.
Might be a silly question but you talk this fast, or adjust it by adding an extra 5-10% speed?
Thanks for the clip, great recipes again!
It seems like during the pancake bite portion the video got sped up somehow when I uploaded it. Not sure how that happened haha
Is there a substitute for the masa harina that we can use?
Quick hack for chopping the broccoli - throw it all in a large bowl and then run a pizza cutter in and through the bowl. Waaaaaaaay less mess
instructions unclear, chopped the bowl
"Check out how much this chicken looks like a brain.....sick!" had me cackle.
