There is nothing more satisfying than great greens washed and ready to go. Maybe that’s weird but. I’ve been doing this for 20 plus years and it never gets old.
I so agree!! 😍
I fully agree. There are so many possibilities and flavour profiles,one cannot get bored, if they do it is lack of inspiration or laziness not to try different veggies, dressings, etc. if I go more than a day or two with a good green salad, I start getting cranky (for hubby it is lack of bananas). Having them washed and ready to go means there is no excuse not to have a wonderful salad at lunchtime or dinner time, no matter how busy one is.
I like a few beans, lentils, grains, etc mixed into my leafy salads for the protein hit and I always have them prepared and ready to go through the week. I cook them up in my instapot and have then ready t go. I do similar with root veg and squashes, roast them when I have the oven on for awhile and then I do not have to wait on sweet roasted root veg if I want a salad wit them added.
My favourite green salad item atm are pea shoots. I grow them with the kids and they love them, they are quick growers and no need to worry about spacing them, staking them, etc as we grow only for the shoots and they are great for “pick and come again” nutrition. Great in sandwiches, stirfries, etc too.
I just found this channel and I have to say I LOVE it!!!! What a great in depth meal prep. Very enjoyable to watch and learn from. Thank you! 😀
Thank you so much!!
I love your meal prep videos because I buy so much of the same ingredients and I get a bunch of ideas! Lentil bolognese is a favorite, I love to roast a tray of veggies and spooning marinara over with quinoa. 😊
Liked before I even watched, because I know I’ll love it!now, on to the video!
Edit: Yup, I loved it! Putting the lentil bolognese recipe on my menu for next week!
I love love love the individual containers meal prep! Please do more like this one, so inspiring! ❤
I’m gonna try these recipes for my next meal prep. I was impressed with how many greens you included. I need to improve in that category. Your meal prep videos help me be more committed to plant based eating. Gets hard sometimes. Thanks so much💖
first HAHA I love ur videos so much thank you for always sharing your delicious food!
Yay! Thank you so much!! ☺️☺️☺️
Hi Chanty good morning happy Sunday morning and happy Spring day and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
Wow, you made so much great food, that I don't know what to try first😊!
With your videos I just hit like before I start watching them, because I always enjoy them. That tofu cheese recipe looks so good, thanks!! I'm so envious of your lemon tree, I would love a lemon tree but they can't take the cold winters in the UK. x
I just found your channel and love it! Best way to keep greens fresh in fridge? Plastic container? Also the GARLIC press is under the company name MASTERPAN. Seems like mostly European websites BUT also says sold out and not available at this time on several sites! BLESSINGS to you. Awesome I go cuz this is the way I eat! 😋 😋 😋
Your lentil bolognaise recipe is similar to mine. I add crushed up walnuts to it though also for an extra hit of protein and good fats. I make a double batch and make spag bolognaise, sloppy joes, and even a burrito filling by cooking some extra onions and garlic, adding the bolognaise to them to heat them up, add my chilli, cumin, thyme, etc to get the Mexican flavour profile into it and serve with lots of fresh chopped veg, homemade tortillas (they are so easy to make and far better than shop bought), some pico and guacamole, along with a little Mexican/Spanish rice. It is always a winner. For the sloppy joes, I use the basic bolognaise recipe, add organic passata, a little mustard and some herbs and seasoning to the bolognaise, cook it down and it is ready to go. I found that they freeze well, so I freeze portions for a quick and easy lunch or dinner when we are busy.
I do not use store bought marinara sauce though, for the very reason you mentioned, the ridiculously high salt content. I don’t know why they put so much in. Instead I use either a store bought organic passata or just blitz a can or jar of chopped tomatoes into a “sauce”, add my veg, herbs and spices that I like and cook it down a little to allow it to thicken to the desired consistency..it does not take long and if you are in a real hurry you can blitz down some cooked lentils or beans to act as a thickener. This way I control the salt (and anything else) content. If I use a can of tomatoes, rather than my home grown canned/bottled tomatoes, I do add just a tiny bit of sugar…I use granulated date sugar and use .25 - .5 of a teaspoon of it to take that bitter taste away that they can get when they touch metal.
Definitely going to try your tofu ricotta. I love tofu so lve to use it wherever I can. Have always used almonds t make my ricotta, and while it is not difficult, it takes awhile. Your tofu version looks quite quick. I cannot wait to try it.
I have never used protein powder. I am not one for smoothies. The one time I had something with protein powder added to it was when a friend made protein waffles while I was back in the US visiting my family. I hated it, it tasted chalky and gross, so I have never dared waste my money on a tub of protein powder, as in Scotland it is just so expensive. Your chocolate pudding though has certainly caused me to consider giving it a try. Do you taste the powder? Or did my friend just nt cook it properly? Lol
wow that sounds great! it depends which protein you use, some are definitely more chalky than others but in the pudding recipe to me its not chalky at all, its creamy from the hemp seeds!
I LOVE THESE VIDS they are so satisfying
I love your videos. Everything looks so inviting
Thank you so much!!
I love your videos. I especially love how "normal" you are. It really helps and I'm not too creative but love sauces. Love your dressing recipes. Thank you so much. 😀 PS i Love using my instant pots (I have 2 also) thanks for all the times you have IP recipes.
thank you so much!
You are so pretty! Thanks for all your TH-cams!
thank you so much!
Everything looks great! Ill be making the tofu ricotta on Sunday. Do you like the TJ’s Oats & Seeds milk better than their soy milk? I hesitated to buy it 😊
I love the oat and seeds milk but I’ve only tried it in coffee!
LOVE the fridge shots at the end!
I just made your Tofu Ricotta and the Chocolate Protein Pudding - both are delicious. I had the Ricotta on toast for lunch, just as you recommended, so good. Thanks for your creativity.
yay I'm so glad you liked it!! ☺️
Can you please do a video on why high sodium is bad? The canned stews I buy are high in sodium (about a thousand mg per can). Not sure why it is bad though. Thank you, love your recipes.
thank you!
over time eating high amounts of salt can damage the lining of your blood vessels and is linked to higher risk of hemmoragic stroke, also stomach cancers, high blood pressure

Beautiful fridge, I need to clean mine. 😢 What did you think of the mixed grain you prepared.
It was so yummy!! Would definitely buy again
I love these! So inspiring! Thank you Chanty!
I am needing to find some good protein powder, debating on soy or pea so just curious why that specific pea protein powder?
Cause it’s a bit cheaper than other ones I’ve tried! And it’s pea pumpkin seed and sunflower seed protein
The pudding looks so good 🤤 Also how fun on the super grains, love that!
It was really good!
I am binge watching your meal prep videos after finding your channel. So organized and looks really yummy. I wondered if you do the same again mid week as there are two of you? Just trying to figure out the portions :)
Can you post the instagram reels to YT as a Short? I don’t have instagram. Thanks!
Yes I will!
I love these videos from you so much! thanks girl
You are so pretty.
Your meal prep looks amazing & very easy 😊
This works with any garlic press. I‘m doing this since years.
Love the recipes.
Ohhh I never knew that! Thanks!
thank you SO much for not using cashews. My daughter is allergic but I am always looking for nut free vegan recipes. :)
I love those containers you put the tofu ricotta and the pudding in! Where did you get them?
They are weck jars I linked them in the description!
Since we've had so much rain here in LA,. I've been collecting it putting it in big gallon sized water bottles and will save it for the summer to water the plants
Has Instant Pot given you a sponsorship yet? You are the number advertiser for these things. How to cook anything and everything with it by Chanty Marie 😃
I love making tzatziki with leftover yoghurt to put on top of falafel or shoarma made of soy chunks. 🤤 Delicious recipe ideas, thanks Chanty! X
Yum!! What will you have for breakfast?
I either have Ezekiel toast or a berry smoothie!
goals
is trader jos cheaper than walmart smiths winco?
I'm not sure I dont have those stores near me
What are you washing them with? Not soap right?
it is "fruit and vegetable wash" !
I love your video's, the organisation is wonderful 😊
Everything looks great
thank you!
I love your meal prep videos
thank you so much for watching!!
Great video ! Thank you !
Just wanted to let you know I made the bolognese and it was so very good. Thank you for sharing.
That’s awesome!! 🥰 I’m so glad you liked it
Natural release or quick release
I usually always do a natural release for 10-15 min then release the rest manually!
Thank you, I’m new to Instant Pot and the Instant Pot I have you have to click on a natural release button, It’s not automatic. I now have the one you have to add to my collection and I just wasn’t sure how to do it but I understand now so thank you.
Your nails look so pretty natural like that. How was the grain mixture?
thank you! I loved the grain mixture it was so good!
I love your face structure
Thanks! Lol
P. S. I can't find the lentils in the bolognese recipe. How much did you use? Thanks! 😊
I rewatched it. One cup. Do you know if they are green or brown.
I used green but you can use either I think it will be the same cook time!
That Looks so good,
Stop showing you cleaning the vegetables already it gets old really fast.
I love this. It is relaxing to watch.
Ok I’ll cut it out or make it shorter!
I actually love and never get tired of watching you wash and clean the vegetables every week in all detail, it is very relaxing and inspiring to watch. Please don't make them shorter! Keep them coming! :) Thank you for your videos, I love them!@@Chantymarie
I love these videos!
thank you for watching!!
I have never seen someone wash their greens in soap I don't even think you should do that A vinegar bath is more appropriate
It’s fruit and vegetable wash the ingredients are very natural! Works so much better than vinegar in my opinion!
Google says it’s not recommended to literally wash it with soap your only supposed to rinse it with water, I’m concerned that it can harm you
Other then that the rest of the video is good so far
its not soap its "fruit and vegetable wash" made with all natural ingredients! its meant for fruits and vegetables non toxic
@@Chantymarie oh nice 😊
Eggs? Not passing judgement, just confused since every recipe seems to be vegan. Maybe Collin eats them?
I eat mostly plant based but we have eggs on occasion!
@@Chantymarie Thank you for clearing it up. I am glad to see that your diet runs the gamut of healthy. I really enjoy your channel!
