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
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. :)
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:)
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!
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.
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!
❤️😍HI! Lisa, Just wanted to say A big THANK YOU FOR your support, help, for all the meal prep, help in shopping, Making such an big help, Throughout the year, and every expect in my life, and home. I wish I was able too give you a huge. So now I'm one of your biggest fan 😊 Most off your Gluten free, Recipes I've known through my Daughter, For She has a very high level of allergies to Gluten. Now I can support and surprise her with new delicious fun things to enjoy.
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.
You're inspirational, your approach is simply amazing. I've been trying for the last two years to clean up my eating. I discovered your channel this week. I've already tried several of your recipes with great success. Your meal preparation ideas makes me feel that I can be totally in control of my eating choices without too much stress. Please keep up your brilliant work. Thank you so much. Michael
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!
Thank you for you these meal prep videos. I'm a busy homeschooling mom, grandma caring for a newborn and housewife, so I really need these helpful videos. Sometimes we just need a little guidance on how to cook healthy meals with products that we may already own. Thanks again!
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.
Your recipes for seasons are super and healthy, will help me find good diet. Have suffered a mild stroke as of lately and will use some of your ideas for tasty eating. More fiber and less fat, with balanced protein to keep my energies up on my way back to normal, lots of veggies with enhanced flavour. Each day is a gift to life’s welcome .
Love love absolutely love your videos, your entire channel is a recent discovery for me and I have learned so much already! You have the most beautiful style of speaking and presenting and preparing all of your wonderful dishes, what a great channel. Thank you so much.
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
I've been LOVING your prepping videos! All two of them 😅 Definitely doing this method of meal prepping instead! Especially since I have a husband who doesn't like eating the same meal twice in a row 🙄 I almost found it impossible to "meal prep" because of it. Now, I see that it's possible to PREP the same kinds of food, and have a variety of meals each day! Thank thank thank you so much!
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!😌😊
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 😂😂
Please make more of these. I love them! It’s really good to see the way you do it slightly different to mainstream meal prep and its all clean eating, not to mention it’s done with limited ingredients so it’s kind on the budget! Looking forward to more.
Thanks so much Elli! Happy to hear that positive feedback and I'll keep doing them as long as the community keeps loving them. ;) Will definitely do a meal prep for summer next! x
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!
I live in Canada so in winter is not easy to eat a salad during winter so please meal preps for winter, love your videos my son is loving the food! Thank you
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.
Thank you so much! This is revolutionary for me lol. I normally just cook a meal for 5 days but you make it so simple to eat different meals during the week. I never thought about this. Please please keep making these videos, I need as many inspirational videos as posible!!
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
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.
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
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!
These meal prep videos have been a lifesaver. They're easy to follow, you use real ingredients and the food is so yummy. Please keep making these amazing videos.
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!
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
People would think I’m insane if they could peek into my home right now and watch me. They’d wonder why am I crying over a food prep video. You’ve made me day. I can’t wait to plan my June menu planner. It’s going to be a bit expensive since I may need to get a few items I don’t have and time to practice (growing microgreens I know but more than once? I’m not sure what to do with my soil once I’ve trimmed it all. Reseed on top? Toss it and start new?). You walk ya through enough that I feel I can do this. Thank you for providing this information free of charge.
Thanks so much Sue and I'm so thrilled you loved this meal prep video (hopefully they're all happy tears!). ❤️That's wonderful to hear it's inspired your monthly menu planner and that's amazing you're growing your own microgreens. I would love to do that myself! :) x
Well thanks. They were easy to grow and I trimmed them. Ate them but now what? I’m not sure how to keep them coming. See more in between the cut sprouts? Pull up the roots, shake em out? Replant? Get new dirt? They are in a dish. New stuff.
I spend my weekends watching so many youtube meal prep videos and I want to give you the grand prize for making the best ones! So happy I finally found you. Thank you for going through so much work to produce these for us and share your secrets and pdf file!
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!
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
Love the idea of prepping ingredients separately and building meals from the "fridge buffet". Thank you for showing how easy it is with proper planning! Yes for a summer version! Hugs!
NEVER SEEN SO MANY NUTRIENT RICH FOOD COMBINATIONS PREPARED SO QUICK, EASY AND BEAUTIFUL... LOOKS AMAZING YOU ARE SUCH AN ELOQUENT SPEAKER ... ENJOY LISTENING TO YOU ... TONE OF YOUR VOICE FORCES ME TO LEARN AND PAY ATTENTION lol 😂 PHENOMENAL PRESENTATION SKILLS 😁 👏👍
Hi Lisa, I absolutely loved your first meal prep video (where I finally learned how to cook perfect eggs 😊). This one is just as much filled with super useful tips. Creating ingredients rather than meals is genius, it gives you the flexibility that traditional meal prep can’t. 👍💕
Your first meal prep video was so practical. I love the buffet style - it has allowed me stop buying frozen pizza and go dairy free. I look forward to trying this one out, too! Thank you for the PDFs!!! And thank you for your culinary imagination. I can mix and match for weeks and feel totally nourished.
Was so glad to find recipes where the produce was in season. I made the shrimp with wild rice & asparagus. I couldn't find the right wild rice at the store, so I bought some Simple Truth brown rice quinoa, it was incredible!÷÷ Ive never made asparagus that good before in my life! The blueberry puree with the Cashew milk chia seed pudding was incredible too!!
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 :)
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.
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
Thank you so much. Now that my daughter is home for the summer, she wants to eat healthier. I'm sure your meal prep videos will inspire her as much as they have inspired me. Can't wait for the summer edition!
I'm so happy to hear you love the videos Claudia and hope they provide a little inspiration for your daughter as well. The wheels in my brain are already turning for the summer meal prep video. ;) x
I liked it, I shared it, I commented on this.....you are amazing! You make it look so easy and fun, on top of that you look flawless and beautiful! Great video...can't wait for another meal prep! Would like to see some quinoa this time and maybe deserts. Thank you for your time and the PDFs and so well edited videos...thosePDFs, oh god, soooo thoughtful of you!!! Thanks....I am sharing this....I want all my friends to know you! Keep inspiring me! 👍
Thanks so much for your kind words Laura! I'm happy to hear you loved the video and PDF's - yay! And thanks for sharing and spreading the word - I greatly appreciate that!! I've definitely got a dessert in mind for the summer meal prep as well. ;) 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 😉😊
I've used your summer meal prep for two rotations and I LOVE having everything chopped and prepped ready to eat!! This will be my first time using the Spring PDF. I figure I could use the spring and summer meal prep interchangeably to mix things up! Thank you!!
So glad you switched careers and are showing the world how to meal prep healthy foods for all seasons with produce available at this time. Wishing you continued success and looking forward to your next video!
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.
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 ?
i also prefer to prep ingredients!would love to see a summer version. could you maybe incorporate pack lunch ideas into the meal prep, like which ingredients are easy to pack or easy to reheat/cook at work pantry etc.? love your videos, so thoughtful, thank you!
So glad you enjoyed the video! And yes, I've got a summer version in the queue now. :) Will try to do a video in the future on packable lunches as well!
Wow now I get it about doing the single ingredients like a buffet in your fridge I never picked that up before from all your videos, duuuuh! It is such a good idea because for me I don’t like leftovers they just don’t seem appetizing but when you look at a container full of onion or shrimp or asparagus use actually see possibilities and freshness! Such a wonderful idea thank you! I really love your videos! Please make more videos and show me more of that California coast!!! ❤️❤️
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 stumbled over your videos some time ago and I really love those ideas! When it comes to cashews please make sure they are fair trade (even if they are more expensive than regular ones). I've recently watched a documentary how hard it is to harvest them and how many toxics they enhance while getting them out of the shells
Yum! This video should have come with a warning: "Should only be viewed when you are not hungry!" Thank you Lisa for another great video and for the PDF's. Look forward to the summer meal prep video.
Thank you so much! I finally find some support in creating easy healthy meals following a low FODMAP diet thanks to you. I'm so glad I found your channel.
Please continue with your meal preps, recipes and tips. I really enjoy them. You could also let us know what products And tools you like like best around the house: spiralizer is one I’m interested in getting, but other ones will awesome. I enjoy your videos. You have a calm, elegant and serene way of doing things and speak. It is pleasent to listen to and watch. Thank you
I’m speechless 😶 the way you combine food together it’s a whole new level of cooking 😍 thank you thank you 🙏 so much !!!! I been looking for some healthy recipes for my family ., please do more of videos like this 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Genius! ...definitely please add a summer meal prep video. I've shared these with everyone I know who's struggling to balance a busy life with healthy eating...
Love all of your videos, I've been so inspired these past few months since I first found you and have been cooking non stop. All of your hard work has really shown with every video you create and every blog post you share with us. The PDFs are so thoughtful and I'm sure took a lot of work but I can tell you it hasn't gone unnoticed. Thank you for your dedication and I really appreciate everything you do. Easily my favorite person on TH-cam!

Thanks for all the wonderful Healthy knowledge and ideas. Would love to see ideas on fermented foods. Thanks
You're so wonderful for doing all this for people! Thank you and God bless you!
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
Please make more of these. I love them! It’s really good to see the way you do it slightly different to mainstream meal prep and its all clean eating, not to mention it’s done with limited ingredients so it’s kind on the budget! Looking forward to more.
Thanks so much Elli! Happy to hear that positive feedback and I'll keep doing them as long as the community keeps loving them. ;) Will definitely do a meal prep for summer next! x

Oh yes, then salads and spring rolls will be perfect for you! Happy to hear the videos and PDFs are helpful. Thanks Dorayley! :) x
Thank you so much! This is revolutionary for me lol. I normally just cook a meal for 5 days but you make it so simple to eat different meals during the week. I never thought about this. Please please keep making these videos, I need as many inspirational videos as posible!!
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.

Love your channel because it's so balanced and do able.. keep going with these meal prep ones 😍😆
I’m so happy that you state in one of your earlier videos that you are cooking for 1.

Thanks again.. you’re amazing
I love love love these meal prep videos, please do more :-)
People would think I’m insane if they could peek into my home right now and watch me. They’d wonder why am I crying over a food prep video. You’ve made me day. I can’t wait to plan my June menu planner. It’s going to be a bit expensive since I may need to get a few items I don’t have and time to practice (growing microgreens I know but more than once? I’m not sure what to do with my soil once I’ve trimmed it all. Reseed on top? Toss it and start new?). You walk ya through enough that I feel I can do this. Thank you for providing this information free of charge.
Thanks so much Sue and I'm so thrilled you loved this meal prep video (hopefully they're all happy tears!). ❤️That's wonderful to hear it's inspired your monthly menu planner and that's amazing you're growing your own microgreens. I would love to do that myself! :) x
Well thanks. They were easy to grow and I trimmed them. Ate them but now what? I’m not sure how to keep them coming. See more in between the cut sprouts? Pull up the roots, shake em out? Replant? Get new dirt? They are in a dish. New stuff.
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!
I spend my weekends watching so many youtube meal prep videos and I want to give you the grand prize for making the best ones! So happy I finally found you. Thank you for going through so much work to produce these for us and share your secrets and pdf file!
Thanks so much Shanda! I'm so happy you love them. :) 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
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
I love your videos! I binged them all awaiting the hurricane here in FL
That’s what I’m doing now lol
Lisa I love your recipes, how delicate your kitchen is and how healthy they are, I put them into practice. Thanks a lot.
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
Love the idea of prepping ingredients separately and building meals from the "fridge buffet". Thank you for showing how easy it is with proper planning! Yes for a summer version! Hugs!
Yes, I'm all about that fridge buffet! ;) And I've got a summer meal prep in the works now!
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
Finally! A meal prep that can be done in a few hours for the rest of the week. Thank you.
You're welcome! And this one is actually quite fast. :)
Your videos are just mesmerizing.
Thanks so much Chelsea! :) x
NEVER SEEN SO MANY NUTRIENT RICH FOOD COMBINATIONS
PREPARED SO QUICK, EASY AND BEAUTIFUL... LOOKS AMAZING
YOU ARE SUCH AN ELOQUENT
SPEAKER ... ENJOY LISTENING
TO YOU ... TONE OF YOUR
VOICE FORCES ME TO LEARN
AND PAY ATTENTION lol 😂
PHENOMENAL PRESENTATION
SKILLS 😁 👏👍
OMG, I was drooling through this ENTIRE THING HAHAHHAHAH! Love it, love you for sharing this!
Haha. So happy you enjoyed the video!!
Right?
Hi Lisa, I absolutely loved your first meal prep video (where I finally learned how to cook perfect eggs 😊). This one is just as much filled with super useful tips. Creating ingredients rather than meals is genius, it gives you the flexibility that traditional meal prep can’t. 👍💕
Yes, it's so true! And I'm all about that flexibility. Glad you enjoyed it!! And yay for making perfect eggs! :) x
Love your meal preps! Can't wait to try these.
Wonderful! Hope you enjoy them!
Gorgeous!!! A feast for the eyes, the tongue, and the soul.
Oh my god.... you’re just amazing 😉 I’m addicted.. and I stand in awe of you!
Aww, thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Your first meal prep video was so practical. I love the buffet style - it has allowed me stop buying frozen pizza and go dairy free. I look forward to trying this one out, too! Thank you for the PDFs!!! And thank you for your culinary imagination. I can mix and match for weeks and feel totally nourished.
Yay - I'm so happy to hear that Brenda! It's definitely a lot of fun to mix and match throughout the week. :) x
I absolutely love the pdf's they are so helpful!!! Thank u 😊
Awesome - that makes me happy to hear!!
Was so glad to find recipes where the produce was in season. I made the shrimp with wild rice & asparagus.
I couldn't find the right wild rice at the store, so I bought some Simple Truth brown rice quinoa, it was incredible!÷÷
Ive never made asparagus that good before in my life!
The blueberry puree with the Cashew milk chia seed pudding was incredible too!!
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
Thank you so much. Now that my daughter is home for the summer, she wants to eat healthier. I'm sure your meal prep videos will inspire her as much as they have inspired me. Can't wait for the summer edition!
I'm so happy to hear you love the videos Claudia and hope they provide a little inspiration for your daughter as well. The wheels in my brain are already turning for the summer meal prep video. ;) x
These will be on the menu next week, thanks!!!
Awesome - happy to hear that Mona!
Best meal prep video🎥 that I have ever seen, and I have seen them all👍👍👍
GOD🙏🙏BLESS YOU.
EDUARDO MIAMI FL 🇺🇸
So glad to hear that :)
I liked it, I shared it, I commented on this.....you are amazing! You make it look so easy and fun, on top of that you look flawless and beautiful! Great video...can't wait for another meal prep!
Would like to see some quinoa this time and maybe deserts.
Thank you for your time and the PDFs and so well edited videos...thosePDFs, oh god, soooo thoughtful of you!!! Thanks....I am sharing this....I want all my friends to know you! Keep inspiring me! 👍
Thanks so much for your kind words Laura! I'm happy to hear you loved the video and PDF's - yay! And thanks for sharing and spreading the word - I greatly appreciate that!! I've definitely got a dessert in mind for the summer meal prep as well. ;) x
My gosh, please keep these coming...you are saving my life on time and healthy meals, yay! Thank you for these videos
Happy you enjoyed the video!
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!
I have JUST found you. LOVE the food preps..please do regularly.
I've got a summer meal prep coming up soon!
Lovely!
Thank you Marina! :) x
The meal prep videos are my favorite! I love the idea of prepping ingredients instead of meals! Please make more of these videos!
Thanks Kelcie! I've got a summer one coming up next! :)
Gosh you are so talented, I love this, good job.
Thanks so much - I appreciate that! :)
I've used your summer meal prep for two rotations and I LOVE having everything chopped and prepped ready to eat!! This will be my first time using the Spring PDF. I figure I could use the spring and summer meal prep interchangeably to mix things up! Thank you!!
Absolutely! Can't wait for you to try the Spring one 😊
This is so inspirational 🙌🏼❤️❤️
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!!
So glad you switched careers and are showing the world how to meal prep healthy foods for all seasons with produce available at this time. Wishing you continued success and looking forward to your next video!
Thanks so much for your kind words and I'm much happier with this new career as well. ;) Keep you eyes peeled for a summer meal prep next! x
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!
You have absolutely the best meal prep videos!!!! PLEASE do more!!!!
Thanks so much Crystal! And I'll have a winter one soon!
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
She's wonderful surely she inspired me, I can't stop watching her videos
Your the best! 1000,000LIKE
Aww, thanks so much!!
i also prefer to prep ingredients!would love to see a summer version. could you maybe incorporate pack lunch ideas into the meal prep, like which ingredients are easy to pack or easy to reheat/cook at work pantry etc.? love your videos, so thoughtful, thank you!
So glad you enjoyed the video! And yes, I've got a summer version in the queue now. :) Will try to do a video in the future on packable lunches as well!
Your videos are addictive :D You got me moving in the kitchen this morning!
Wow now I get it about doing the single ingredients like a buffet in your fridge I never picked that up before from all your videos, duuuuh!
It is such a good idea because for me I don’t like leftovers they just don’t seem appetizing but when you look at a container full of onion or shrimp or asparagus use actually see possibilities and freshness! Such a wonderful idea thank you!
I really love your videos! Please make more videos and show me more of that California coast!!! ❤️❤️
Thanks Nancy! And yes, it really is easy to mix and match once you get the hang of it. Happy to share more of the CA coast as well! ;) x
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 stumbled over your videos some time ago and I really love those ideas! When it comes to cashews please make sure they are fair trade (even if they are more expensive than regular ones). I've recently watched a documentary how hard it is to harvest them and how many toxics they enhance while getting them out of the shells
Thank you! I would love for you to continue making meal prep videos/tutorials. The pdf’s are greatly appreciated as well.
Thanks so much Jennifer! Glad you found the PDFs helpful as well. :)
Yum! This video should have come with a warning: "Should only be viewed when you are not hungry!" Thank you Lisa for another great video and for the PDF's. Look forward to the summer meal prep video.
Haha. Will have to contemplate a PSA on the next video. ;) Thanks Joy!
Thank you so much! I finally find some support in creating easy healthy meals following a low FODMAP diet thanks to you. I'm so glad I found your channel.
Thanks so much Claire! And I'm happy to hear that these meal preps fit with your eating style. :) x

Love all of your videos, I've been so inspired these past few months since I first found you and have been cooking non stop. All of your hard work has really shown with every video you create and every blog post you share with us. The PDFs are so thoughtful and I'm sure took a lot of work but I can tell you it hasn't gone unnoticed. Thank you for your dedication and I really appreciate everything you do. Easily my favorite person on TH-cam!
Aww, thanks so much Lauren for your kind words. I truly appreciate that! And I'm so thrilled you love the videos and meal prep PDF's - yay! :) x
