"It's all about knowing in your mind, if you know first then the action happens." - Dani Spies Great quote for Food prep, meals, fast easy, healthy, fun and not overwhelming! :)
Hello from Italy!! Seriously, you are making me so excited at eating better and being healthier with my food choices! I have a loooong way to go both in terms of choosing what to eat and being as organized as you are but it is beautiful to see how motivated and passionate you are!
Happy New Years my friends!! Here is the video from my Friday FaceBook Live. These are some of my go-to tips and tricks for keeping my fridge Clean & Delicious. Enjoy!!
I love seeing what people have in their fridge! Thanks for showing us and things I would need to purchase that I forget to buy at times Happy new year 🙏🏼🎆🙏🏼
I totally agree with the salad or healthy soup for breakfast instead of the traditional sweet, carb heavy breakfast. When you start your day off with a healthy meal, you're more likely to eat better the rest of the day. I did this for a while and lost 20lbs, easy!
I'm glad you said that about regular fat yogurt. I'll use regular fruit and a little bit of plain full fat yogurt with no additional sweetener. So good.
Full fat yogurt is indeed the best. Especially for recipes like tzatziki it is important that the yogurt is full fat. I love to make a dip out of Greek yogurt mixed with salt, olive oil and vinegar and topped with spearmint. It's basically tzatziki without the cucumber, but to be honest I prefer it that way. It's just so refreshing, light and yummy! I really liked this video. Happy new year!
Thanks for sharing the FB live video here on youtube. What a great way to help the clean and delicious community intention setting for the new year - I certainly needed that loving reminder! Thanks!
I'm so glad I saw your video today, we just had a brand new fridge delivered *this morning* and I can't wait to fill it! I've watched your videos for a few years now but have been absent from YT for a while. This video has reinvigorated me so thankyouthankyouthankyou! Now, on to the detox soup video :)
I know how much you and your kids love smoothies and I was wondering if you ever make smoothie bowls? I like a good smoothie bowl, prefferably banana ans strawberry, with some fresh fruit and a sprinkle of granola and coconut on top.
happy new year . i am from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. First time poster. I love your channel. I am currently working full time as a food and nutrition teacher in a high school.
This is my first time watching a video like this. I'm looking to change my eating habits to lose weight to be healthier and I LOVE how everything is fresh and bright. The way you break down everything is so AWESOME to me. I am A SUBSCRIBER 👐😍
Loving your video so far!... Re: prepping berries ahead of time....I soak blueberries in vinegar water, rinse and dry them off, into the frig and they last a good long time.
apple chips!!! use the ribbon cutter on my spiralizer, play on parchment paper in the oven at 250 degrees for 2 hours. the sweeter apples are the best ! honey crisp, pink ladies, granny smith.
the egg whites in oatmeal is a great idea! also in regards to treats, have you done a video on home popped popcorn? if not I'd love to see you come up with some interesting flavours.
New subscriber I just meal prepped for the first time tonight and my fridge looks so clean and pretty super excited about this new journey and watching your Videos very helpful❤️
Happy New Year to you too! Fun video :) I had a video idea for you for 2017 and I think it would be interesting and helpful for a lot of us that follow you. A video every 1-2 months "What we ate this week". After you do your meal prep for the week, show your fridge and what is prepped in it. It doesn't have to be detailed. Maybe you just pull out the veg and proteins you prepared and scan the fridge with the camera for the rest. Then, through out that week, show some quick clips of the meals you prepared by using your prepped food. Just a shot of it cooked on the plate, no recipe needed. It doesn't have to be every single meal either. Just throw in a variety if you can. Just raw footage, nothing fancy or fussy, so it's easy for you. I think it would be cool to see and I think others would like it too!
I know you explained the oatmeal with egg whites, but I'd love to see it in a video. Seems like the kind of thing that lends itself to seeing consistency so I'd know when it's done right. Hoping to get more protein into my kids diet, and he already loves oatmeal.
thank you for this Dani! I'm trying to learn how to change my lifestyle & better my eating habits & I've learned A LOT from you! ❤❤ Hope you have a happy & blessed 2017!
yeo valley do an amazing full fat plain yogurt omg it's good, I'm from England and get mine from sainsburys but I'm sure your shops would sell it too :)
I'm going to subscribe to butcherbox after I go through the meat in my freezer. I definitely don't have access to properly raised meat in the place I live. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi! I like to watch how organized you are. I would like to ask whether if we pre-cut the vegies, will they lose their nutrition? Thanks. I am still new with healthy livin but I do want to cook most of my meals when I want to. And meal prep makes it easier when I get home from work. Thank you. -wan rohani, Malaysia
I heard you mention that it was hard to find full fat plain yogurt. Here in North Carolina, we can find Organic Valley Grassmilk Full Fat Yogurt and Stoneyfield Farms Organic Full Fat Yogurt. We have a Publix store here.. don't know if you do there. Just a few ideas....
thank you so so much for sharing all this info. it is so helpful for me. i was wondering when you make almond milk, do you have a special towel or fabric that you keep only for making almond milk? also your cutting boards, do you have special ones dedicated for fruits, vegetables, meats, breads... maybe if you can make a separate video on this kind of organizational tips... i appreciate it.
great idea. you can use cheese clothe or just a clean kitchen towel for the almond milk. As for cutting boards - I do use separate plastic boards for meats.
Dani you should start a dietbet! I would totally join your game! I'm doing 3 right now for motivation for the new year. How do we find your secret group also?
Hey Danny, thanks so much for the video. I've really fell off track with my meals since I've started school again and this really helped me think about how I'm going to be healthy again. I was wondering if you could share some quick and easy lunches to take to school to help me stay on track with my diet. Also i had a question about dairy, recently i've heard that dairy from cows is not good for you because it's meant for baby calf growth, not sure what your take on it is but i would love to hear your opinion on it.
For the cooked chicken and salsa, what salsa do you use? A couple of years ago I started to making my own and now most store bought salsas taste kinda gross to me. So I'm curious what you use and like.
Even with the towels in there, how long do all those processed veggies last? Also, same question for the Quinoa and the eggs. - I'd love to do that with whole brown rice. Also, the Oxo containers you linked are over $50 in Canada. do you have any alternate recommendations for veggie/grain/berry storage bins? Also, I don't do facebook as a hard rule. Would love it if these videos could stay on TH-cam. Anyone can view a youtube vid. Thanks and Happy new year!
Thanks for the inspiration! What do you do with the prepped veggies? Do you cook with them or eat them raw? If you cook them, what do you typically make? I'm particularly curious about the radishes. Thanks!
I'm in Atlanta area and can't find plain full fat yogurt either! If I want it flavored, no problem - but plain is non-existant. Soup recipe? Great video. Thanks!
When do you do your livestreams on Facebook? I always find them after the fact. I've enjoyed your youtube videos and your approach to weight loss/healthy eating seems so balanced. Also, I would also love to be involved in your Facebook group. I need to lose a lotta, lotta weight, I'm officially a senior, my osteoarthritis definitely needs a break and I just need to be healthier.
"My jeans are hugging me right back." hahaha you're hilarious! P. S. When Butcher Block surprises you with the meat cuts are they pretty generous or do you find half of them are lower priced cuts? Thanks! :)
Thank youuu!! Would also love to be in the fb group! I have a kinesiology degree with a health and sports nutrition minor and am wanting to return to school to become a registered dietitian. I know some offer it online. Do you have a RD degree or anything like that? Where do you study to get most of your knowledge (I am always learning lol) About to have my first child, in 3 weeks, and would really love to somehow transition to use my degree/nutrition knowledge from home lol

yes!!
Idk why but it was so comforting to know that you drink half and half. It has been so hard to still enjoy my coffee while trying to eat clean.

thanks for the tip!!
I would love to see a video on how you do your chicken/salsa cooked in a crock pot. While using avocado and quinoa.
Bridget Liden she already has a video on that, check her channel :)
Great tips, Dani! Looking forward to the private FB page as well as detox soup and collagen in the diet! Happy New Year!
Happy New year!!

Full fat yogurt can be easily available at Indian grocery, or any produce which keep Indian groceries,
I know you explained the oatmeal with egg whites, but I'd love to see it in a video. Seems like the kind of thing that lends itself to seeing consistency so I'd know when it's done right. Hoping to get more protein into my kids diet, and he already loves oatmeal.
This is totally awesome. Now we need a video on how to train our retired parents to follow the same plan lol. Happy New Danny.
Healthy Recipe Channel couldn't agree more! I'm currently trying to get my mom to eat coconut oil
please make more easy quick breakfast ideas！Its always the hardest meal for a college student!
Jean from Florida! Greetings! Love love your ideas.. Thanks for sharing!

I really like this video. Gives me inspiration.
Happy New Year 🎆🎈🎊
I feel the same way about eggs and greens!!! Love your videos btw :D

I always go for the full fat Greek yogurt for the kids too - it is hard to find sometimes!
veggies! that's why I listen to you! Try Siggi's Icelandic yogurt. it's awesome with nothing artificial!!
thank you for this Dani! I'm trying to learn how to change my lifestyle & better my eating habits & I've learned A LOT from you! ❤❤ Hope you have a happy & blessed 2017!

Hi Dani, have you ever tried oyster mushrooms sateed with olive oil & finished with a little ACV? So good, it's my favorite way to make them.
+Alie Makk omg!!! Yes ... it's my favorite too! I was just thinking i need to do that exact video. Wise minds 😉
I add collagen to my fruit smoothies and you don't taste it but I think it makes it creamy.
Thank you so much for sharing! Love your videos
For the cooked chicken and salsa, what salsa do you use? A couple of years ago I started to making my own and now most store bought salsas taste kinda gross to me. So I'm curious what you use and like.
Happy New Year!
I love your clean ideas your wonderful ❤
Can you do a quick video on the oatmeal method?
Even with the towels in there, how long do all those processed veggies last? Also, same question for the Quinoa and the eggs. - I'd love to do that with whole brown rice. Also, the Oxo containers you linked are over $50 in Canada. do you have any alternate recommendations for veggie/grain/berry storage bins? Also, I don't do facebook as a hard rule.

Thanks for the inspiration! What do you do with the prepped veggies? Do you cook with them or eat them raw? If you cook them, what do you typically make? I'm particularly curious about the radishes. Thanks!
Erika Macias she talks about the around 4.50 - 5.20 mark :) she cooks with them and also eats them raw as snacks.
I like your idea to add egg whites to your oatmeal for your kids. How do you add it? Is it in any of your previuosly recorded videos?
I'm in Atlanta area and can't find plain full fat yogurt either! If I want it flavored, no problem - but plain is non-existant. Soup recipe? Great video. Thanks!
This video is perfection!
Another good vegan protein powder is Orgain - I get it for a great deal at Costco
Has the soup video posted yet?
I can't seem to find. Stalling my grocery trip for this goodie ;)
Its going up today!! Very soon.
Happy New Year! ❤❤❤❤❤
Happy New Year!
I'm afraid of plastic microwave cookers. Is the one you use safe? Thks. Love your vids!!
U are awesome 👌😁👍 happy New Year 🎆
Happy New Year! Enjoyed!
great video! also really random, where did you get that fresh produce sign?? so cute!
happy new year 💕💕💕
hi watching from Canada , i love ur videos keep going for 2017, happy new year.
Thank you!! Happy NY!!
very interested on the healthy weight loss fb group!!!!!!! great info on this video THANK YOU
Would putting the cut veggies in water work? (Also, does anyone know of glass, similarly sized containers that size?)
What brand of protein powder do you add to your smoothies?
Hi Dani. Is there a chance I could get the soup recipe early?
When do you do your livestreams on Facebook? I always find them after the fact. I've enjoyed your youtube videos and your approach to weight loss/healthy eating seems so balanced. Also, I would also love to be involved in your Facebook group. I need to lose a lotta, lotta weight, I'm officially a senior, my osteoarthritis definitely needs a break and I just need to be healthier.
Happy New Year Dani!!
Thanks!! Right back to you:)
Hi, Dani
Do you have tuna salad recipe?
hey from Brooklyn, Maryland
"My jeans are hugging me right back." hahaha you're hilarious! P. S. When Butcher Block surprises you with the meat cuts are they pretty generous or do you find half of them are lower priced cuts? Thanks! :)
My first box was great - it had chicken breast, pork chops, tri tip steak, steak tips, and bacon.
Love your video!
There is no link to butcher box I want the code if you still have it please and thank you
Do y'all shop on a budget?
From Portugal!
video on oatmeal please thank you
gwenyrh paltro would love your work!
Question? How long can you keep meal prep food in the fridge?
I keep mine for the entire week.
How do you store avacado so it doesn't go brown within the hour? I love it but I always end up throwing most of it out....
I just put mine in the fridge. Lasts a day or two.
What's a good deal for a Vita mix
Am I missing the butcher box code? I am on the site and ready to check out.
Its CleanAndDelicious
Thank youuu!! Would also love to be in the fb group! I have a kinesiology degree with a health and sports nutrition minor and am wanting to return to school to become a registered dietitian. I know some offer it online. Do you have a RD degree or anything like that? Where do you study to get most of your knowledge (I am always learning lol) About to have my first child, in 3 weeks, and would really love to somehow transition to use my degree/nutrition knowledge from home lol
Recipe ideas for all that prep work?
