Hi guys! My second meal prep video is finally here. Woot! I hope you love this one as much as the first video and if you'd like to see a summer meal prep video let me know in the comments below. If you have any specific ingredients or recipes you'd like to see in a new video, let me know that as well. Happy meal prepping! xo - Lisa
Thank you so much Lisa! This was great. Such variety with not very many ingredients. Hope you enjoy the holiday weekend now :)
Thanks so much Debbie! And I'm definitely taking a day or two off to relax now. ;) Hope you enjoy the recipes!
Downshiftology thanks so much for meal prep ideas!! As a college student, meal prepping makes my life so much easier. Can't wait to try these recipes. Looking forward to more. :)
I love these meal prep videos and would love more!
Downshiftology I have discovered your channel & wanted to tell you thank you for making wonderful vids. I’m trying at 39 to change my eating lifestyle & you have giving me some great ideas. I do have one question? I don’t know what or how to find a good Matcha tea 🍵. Their are so many brands , do you mind recommending one? Thank you ! Great vids & you have a new subscriber:)
These videos make me feel like I could have some control over my own life.
You inspire me to start meal prepping and eat healthier.
So happy to hear that! :)
I had bariatric surgery in 2019, yep right before the pandemic of 2020. I have lost 120 pounds and found I am gluten sensitive. My husband has found out he has Celiac disease. So we are a gluten-free house now and I am learning how to meal prep and do things the healthy way. You are so inspiring to me for a great way to meal prep...buffet style is so much more appealing than eating the same thing everyday. Thank you for that idea!
Possibly the best meal prep video I've ever seen.
Yay - thanks so much! Happy you enjoyed it!
Agreed
Thank you for making meal prep streamlined for busy people. Beautiful, simple
food!
You are literally genius!
Thanks so much Chrisette! :) x
Entirely agree 🤗
Omg lisa I hate you! First you did an amazing meal prep video, then now you provide another meal prep video for spring with a clear beautiful pdf guide for free for both videos :( I mean I have no excuse now to not meal prep those healthy dishes. Thanks for all the inspiration! yes I love this video, yes I got my pdf guide, yes I ready to do this next week, yes I want a summer meal prep video, and yes I want you to be my mom. lol ok bye. Keep inspiring!
Haha. So funny Fransiscus! I'm happy to hear you're loving these videos and recipes (and the PDFs). You definitely have no excuses not to meal prep now. Lol. I've got a summer meal prep in the queue as well...and as for being your mom, well I guess I could adopt you! ;) x
How did you get the guides? None sent to me.
Why do people start with "I hate you?" I know it's an expression it's just a stupid one. Just as easy to Use nice words. That said I think you are great! Thanks for all the tips.
One of my favorite aspects to your meal prep videos (as well as recipe videos) is that you use affordable and accessible ingredients. Healthy food does NOT have to cost a fortune! Thank you for sharing these ideas. Can't wait to see more videos soon! :)
Yes, it's so true! Healthy food is definitely accessible for all. No need for spirulina and goji berries on everything (though I do like those as well - ha). ;) But the simple basics are where it's at!
it depends where are you living. In my country most of the ingredients are so so expensive, avocado, srimp, chia, almonds, etc. Only the carrot is not that expensive. Also the tools are insane expensive.
It’s so satisfying to see the filled up containers 😍🤭
Wow!! I would like to see a meal prep video every month 😍 but I get it that such a video is very time consuming and therefore you probably can't produce it as often.
Haha. Yeah, I get a lot of requests for them weekly, but this one took me three weeks to produce. ;) I will do them every season though!
I love your meal preps, it’s how I came across your wonderful channel! 😘
Yay - happy to hear that!
Rain Merchant me too 👍🏼
Me too. Haven't tried it yet but very inspired.
Same! Today I tried a few things from the first meal prep video! One of them were the sweet potato toasts! Really nice!
Me too! :)
Please never stop making these!😩😄
I just posted a new one!
Ugghh how do I get my life together like you?!?!?! Life goals!! Just a beautiful person cooking a beautiful meal in a beautiful kitchen!
Just lots of little baby steps. :) x
I love this! I have autoimmune illnesses too, and sometimes I just do not have enough energy to cook when I get home from work. This is inspiring me to eat more fresh foods and variety for better health. Thanks so much!
Oh my goodness everything looks so amazing! I absolutely LOVE your videos!!
Thanks so much Cindy!!
Thank you so much for the effort you put into these videos! I absolutely love them and would love a summer meal prep video as well.
Awesome - glad you enjoyed it! And I'll add a summer one to the list!
I'm so blessed to have found your channel and to learn how to prepare these beautiful meals.
Barbara
Thank you! So happy you enjoy the videos and recipes!
My words Bar B. Thank you so much for sharing with us 👍🏽
I love how you preparing ingredients instead of prepping meals. I get so bored eating the same thing during the week, and by Friday I can't get myself to eat the same meal again. Your meals looks super easy but also super good!
Exactly! I do a lot of making meals with the same group of ingredients, but changing it up so that I don't get bored. I cannot eat the same thing every day!
Love your channel because it's so balanced and do able.. keep going with these meal prep ones 😍😆
Honestly, this video came at such a great time - I am so grateful for the videos and pdfs, that I am actually sitting at work crying. Happy tears, but also tears of jealousy that my shit will never be as together as yours Lisa.
In fact, whoever the 102 people are who downliked this video need to be found and assessed, because they are clearly mentally unwell.
Aww, thanks so much Harriet! I'm so thrilled you love my videos and recipes. :) x
Where have you been all these years?! So thankful for your wonderful, delicious, eye pleasing, refreshing recipes. Eating healthy never felt so good 😊
These will be on the menu next week, thanks!!!
Awesome - happy to hear that Mona!
I love your meal preps! They are so very practical and easy. 😊 I love how you presented your meal prep and the possible dishes we can come up with using those ingredients. Great idea! And yes to the summer meal prep please!
So happy you enjoyed the video and possible meal ideas. :) And will do on a summer meal prep!
As a Vietnamese, really appreciate your spin on the summer rolls... much easier and quicker to make!
Thanks so much and I'm thrilled to hear that. :) x
Just discovered your channel and I love it! Sweet greetings from Italy ❤️
Thanks so much! Hugs to Italy! :) x
Your videos are absolutely amazing, such unique recipes and the way you display everything is incredible. Love it and cant wait for a summer version of this!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!!
This is so inspirational 🙌🏼❤️❤️
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!!
I love this!! I agree - seasonal is best and taste best also! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Natasha! And yes, so much more flavor when you eat veggies in season. :)
@@Downshiftology Great Video. The food mixture is creative, fresh and inspiring. Really Enjoyed the Video
I love your strategy of prepping components! Such an innovative and much more approachable way of meal prepping!!
Love your meal preps! Can't wait to try these.
Wonderful! Hope you enjoy them!
As an Asian, I can't imagine a 2-3 day old rice. I can't even stomach one day old rice. Still a great video! I wish i wish we have blueberries! Ive never tried one but it looks so tasty!
It blows my mind sometimes just how disconnected we are in the U.S. I completely thought blueberries we're just a normal fruit that everyone has tried. I need to get out more 😂😂
I love her video but feel so uncomfortable with even the thought of old rice.
Jeremnis Bubu next day rice in a salad is ok! But a side dish it gets so hard the texture. Never tastes the same! Maybe if its fried up
is not fried rice made out of yesterday/old rice? Don't you eat fried rice at all?
I’m an Asian. I prepare rice for 5 days. I’m busy and don’t have time to cook meal every day. And it’s totally good
Yes, please to a summer meal prep video! Thank you ~ this is fantastic!!
Happy you enjoyed this video Priya! And I'll add a summer meal prep to my list! :) x
Yay!! I love your meal prep videos! Very inspiring. One of the best and I love watching it! Please make one often
Thanks so much Sofia! And I'll definitely keep making these as long as everyone loves them. :) x
I love love love your meal preps, very simple, affordable, and tasty. Exactly what I like. Please do more, I can't wait for you to do a summer meal prep. I know there's going to be a big demand from the other viewers. 😋😁
Thanks so much Natasha! And yes, simple, tasty food is always best in my books. Glad you enjoy these videos and I'll definitely add a summer meal prep to the list! :) x
after. watching these i feel like i can throw away every cookbook and meal prep video
Hahah! I'm glad you're enjoying my seasonal meal prep ideas! Stay tuned for new ideas coming later this year.
I am absolutely obsessed with your channel
Aww, thanks so much!
I’ve been loving these videos!!! Beautiful ingredients, beautifully filmed, beautiful soul! Hoping we will see a Fall version in the near future! 😘
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for the video! It’s a joy for the eye. The PDF document will very useful.
Thanks so much Andree! Glad you found the PDF helpful! :) x
You are a kitchen wizard!
Love this meal prep too Lisa, keep it coming 💛💛
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was thinking of doing this week. I work as a field technician so sometimes I don't have access to a microwave. Keep these meal prep videos coming because they're a huge help! ♥ Thank you for the downloads also.
Oh yes, then salads and spring rolls will be perfect for you! Happy to hear the videos and PDFs are helpful. Thanks Dorayley! :) x
This all looks lovely, but please keep in mind that avocado, quinoa, and sweet potatoes come a very far way and are healthy, yes, but due to the often long transport they are not environmentally friendly. Often rainforest is cut down to produce all the avocados, and locals in South America cannot afford their main carbohydrant (quinoa) anymore, because it has become a 'superfood' and is sold to Europe and North America.
Id love to see a meal prep with more regional food. (carrots, normal potatoes, apples, cabbage in winter, etc)
Thanks for the video :)
True for the avocados. But I live in Canada and buy sweet potatoes and quinoa that are grown here.
While this is true for many in the United States (or the world) and it's definitely a great point to make - I'd be willing to bet she at least got the avocados and sweet potatoes from local markets. She's in California - local fruit and veg is everywhere, including people's backyards.
You could also just use flaxseeds instead of chia seeds (they are way cheaper too)
Opinions are like noses...they all smell, sometimes good -sometimes not...the general population are not the ones ruining the earth 🌏 if you can get a food, they have already disrupted the earth, just eat it if it’s available & research the only real solution to the FACTS... suggestion - JW’s
I have JUST found you. LOVE the food preps..please do regularly.
I've got a summer meal prep coming up soon!
Omgosh this all looks so healthy and delicious! Thank you!
These are my favorite videos so far that you make. Everything is so clean, delicious, and healthy! I cannot wait for your next one! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Naomi! And I've definitely got a summer meal prep in the works. ;) x
Your videos are just mesmerizing.
Thanks so much Chelsea! :) x
I am so happy for this second meal prep video of yours! Your channel is my new fave!! Thanks!
Yay - so happy to hear that!!
Thank you Lisa Bryan for your helpful and inspiring videos. I got inspired to cook more often because of you! I would love to see a meal prep for autumn and winter. xo Isa
I love love love these meal prep videos, please do more :-)
Gosh you are so talented, I love this, good job.
Thanks so much - I appreciate that! :)
This was amazing! Thank you so much!
Your precious AND organized....!! Great presentation..!! Thank you..!
I want to thank you for the meal prep thus far.. I prepared today with everything.. I need to be healthy.. It took me a while for I had to purchase all of the containers which I finally completed. This a new journey for me by taking care of myself in what I consume and other ways.. love your website as well as this channel.. thank you for making this transition so easy!😌😊
You're more than welcome! So happy to hear that these videos and recipes are inspiring you on your healthy journey. Best wishes to you! :) x

Your videos are the bomb! Love to watch them even though I am a vegan, they are stil always a good inspiration ♥
Thank you Rebecca! I'm so happy you're able to take the ideas and tweak it for your lifestyle. And based on lots of requests, I'll probably have a vegan meal prep video here in the future. :) x
Yes! Please make a summer meal prep video!❤️
Will do! :) x
Hi!!! New subscriber here or new watcher. I am a widow & live by myself in southern Alabama. Daughter & her husband live in San Jose CA. I am very interested in cooking & meal prep for One Person!!! Pre-pandemic, a group of our friends would get together once or twice a week for potluck or dinner out. Since pandemic, it’s been rough being widowed. I am very thankful for your channel. ♥️♥️♥️
Welcome to the Downshiftology community Alice! It's definitely been a rough year and we've had to switch up our routines, but I'm glad I've been able to help 😊
Lovely!
Thank you Marina! :) x
I am certainly in favor of a summer one FOR SURE with a coffee/tea option and/or happy hour option and ... could we possibly get a summer dessert option added too! Everything was ***EXTRA FABULOUS*** on this!!! I couldn’t wait for this! 🍽 🍵🥗🥑🥒🍤 #mealprepiswhereitsat 😉😊
Thanks so much Leslie! And I already have a dessert in mind for the summer video. ;) Though I do love the idea of a happy hour option as well. Haha!

Nice one, love it and thanks for sharing.
Just a question, how long can all these prep last up in the fridge? Because I usually just free a lot of the meals ?
All of the storage times are listed on the PDF guides. :)
Ok thanks
So glad another meal prep video. I love how you meal prep in bulk. Side note: I was watching your video at work aloud an my coworker happened to be listening along and he said you have a pleasant voice.
Too funny - but I'll take the compliment! ;) Happy you (both) enjoyed the video!
Super excited!!! Hope you keep the videos coming! Love everything about your recipes and meal preps!
Thanks so much Mona! :) x
This is brilliant. I love the spring roll idea. Would also be really easy to take them to work for lunch too.
Lisa, I just wanted to ask if you would be open to a video about your skin care routine? You have beautiful skin and hair. Thanks,
Marcie 🌸
Oh gosh, thank you so much Marcie! I think the studio lights in my kitchen definitely give me a beauty boost. Haha. ;) But I'll add that to the list for a future video.
I'm sure the healthy look comes from all the great foods she eats!
Your meal prep videos are THE BEST! Keep me coming please!
I meant to say, “keep them coming!”
Haha. Thanks so much - will do!! :)
Love this!! Everything is so wonderfully colorful
And that's why I love spring - everything is so vibrant! :) x
This is the very first meal prep video I love! You make it so easy. You're not cooking pounds of meat and vegetables. You make every ingredient so diverse and delicious. I'm so glad your channel came up on my home feed. Thank you for the videos.
I’m so happy that you state in one of your earlier videos that you are cooking for 1.
I tend to make excuses for myself.. by saying I can cook.. but I’m only 1.. and I don’t like to eat leftovers..
Thanks again.. you’re amazing
(Sigh.)
So, I took "shop" in junior high as opposed to "home ec", and all I have to show for it is a trivot and a candle-holding mirror, sconce thingy.
(Er, and I built a house . . . )
But the part of me that enjoys a new-found appreciation for meal prep and home cooking in general loves these vids.
Bravo!
YAY, another meal prep!!! Yours are THE BEST! Thank you. 💗
Happy you're enjoying the meal prep videos Deborah! And I'll have another one for summer. ;)
Love this. Thank you. So grateful for the inspiration 🙏🏼
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it Maria!
Thank you so much! This looks great & eminently doable.
OMG, love your ideas, recipes and you always healthy, affordable and specially easy to make. Please I need some ideas for winter!!!!!!! My son takes food at school and he loves it! Thank you
Great spring fresh healthy food!
It sure is! Glad you enjoyed the video Sandra!
I got up at 4.45 am to see this, your second meal prep video. For content, without exception, your videos are the most educational and facilitating videos on TH-cam. I've decided very recently to start eating a little more Paleo style and except for the wild rice, which I will swap out with either roasted sweet potato or quinoa, it completely ticks all of the boxes. Your delivery and quality of this video is flawless Lisa - the additional pdf notes are of commercial quality and something one would normal expect in a paying environment. We are very lucky. Be very proud. Whilst your are feeling the love, feel sorry for the poverty of spirit that contemplated hitting the dislike button :) This is without exception a brilliant video. Thank you!
Aww, thanks so much Wendy for your kind words and positive feedback! I'm so thrilled you loved the video and PDF's and your comment totally made my day!! :) x
I wish you did this full time! I could watch your videos everyday so inspiring!!
Now all I need is someone to buy and prep all this for me.. YUMMMMM
OMG thank you so much! This is really helpful
Just found your channel, great video! I am going to try your meal prep ideas & recipes! They look so good! Thanks!
I love this meal prep. Thank you
So happy you enjoyed it!!
So happy to see another one of your meal prep videos - love them!
Thanks so much Becky!
Yes, please, I would love a summer prep video! Thank you!
It's coming in a couple of weeks!
Your videos are addictive :D You got me moving in the kitchen this morning!
Please keep them coming! I'm new to meal prep and I love how healthy everything you do is, starting with fresh ingredients, no semi ready dips and sauces, and finishing with glass containers - just what I was looking for! Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it! And I've got more coming. ;) x
Yes, please! More of these videos! I’m digging the seasonal meals too. Fantastic content. Great recipes and tips.
Thanks so much Cassandra! :) x
Please do a Fall & winter meal prep!! Love the ideas and how organized you make it
I'll have more soon! :)
Love your channel . Thank you for taking the time to make those amazing yummy meals
