Video – Meal Prep Sunday Tips on What to Cook for The Week Ahead

Hi friends, it’s time for another week and that means another Sunday Meal Prep. Meal Prep is a part of my weekend routine just like house cleaning, working out and running errands. It’s the only way I am able to stick to my diet and stay mindful of what I am eating, especially while busy during the week with work. I make all of my lunch and breakfast meals and snacks on Sunday so that come the work day I can grab my containers and baggies and head out the door. In this video I go over what I made for this week as well as some tips and pointers on healthy eating. I have been wanting to shoot a video of my meal prep but it really is a ton of work to film and set up my lighting and camera while making sure my food doesn’t burn lol. I did it though and will work on a better process in the future.

Make sure to comment below if you want to see more of these types of videos and also subscribe for more meal prepping tips in the coming weeks!

This past weekend we had a massive snow storm, which dropped over 24″ of snow on our area of New Jersey. I made sure to go to the grocery store a few nights before so thankfully I had enough to meal prep, but it wasn’t as big or as intricate as my normal meal prep might be. I’ve been sticking to a few of the same things week after week; for example I always do my 1/3 cup of organic rolled oats with cinnamon and 1 tbsp of D’s Naturals Peanut Butter. I have not changed that so far and do that every morning before I head to work. I just love how it tastes and how full it makes me feel until mid morning or sometimes not even until lunch time.

For my lunch I make sure to use my 2 compartment meal prep containers and put my lean meat on one side and my brown rice and veggies on the other. This week my lunch consists of 4 ounces of lean organic chicken breasts which I baked in the oven at 400 degrees for 25 minutes and marinated with some Trader Joe’s Poultry Rub, that stuff is delicious. I also had some left over lean ground turkey chili which I used this week as well. For my carb I did 1/3 cup of Trader Joe’s precooked brown rice which I just have to heat up in the microwave. My vegetable this week was a mix of red bell peppers, green peppers and onions made with some Organic Vegetable Broth and Liquid Aminos – this makes for a tasty stir fry.

Everything in my cooking and seasoning arsenal is below. My pantry is always stocked with good for you seasonings and oils. It’s important that you cook your food in healthy marinades and seasonings since many calories and unhealthy fats can come from dressings and things you put on your food. I love using apple cider vinegar, organic olive oil, liquid aminos, nutritional yeast seasonings and pink himalayan salt.

I also make sure to make and pack a protein shake daily that I make in my Nutribullet. Right now my current mix is 1 scoop of Vega Sport Performance Protein in Chocolate, 1 tbsp of D’s Naturals Fluffbutter and a few frozen organic strawberries. I mix with ice and water and usually drink this in the middle of the afternoon and it tastes delicious. In this photo you can see that I have some of my supplements with me at my desk like my RSP Quadra Lean which I just started to take, some B12 and folic acid liquid drops and my Amino Energy Pineapple to sip on during the day with ice water. I’m also a huge fan of having a Himalyan Salt Lamp at my desk, not only for its health benefits but because I think they are awesome looking.

As I mentioned we had a huge snow storm hit this weekend, so I knew it would be a perfect weekend for some homemade soup. I made some delicious lean turkey meatballs and a broth soup with tons of vegetables for us to have throughout the storm. I love soup because it is hearty and fills you up. To make my meatballs I used some organic lean ground turkey, 2 tbsp of organic ketchup, 1/4 cup of chicken broth, 2 organic eggs, 1/4 cup of organic oats, a handful of raw spinach, diced white onion, some garlic powder and then baked them at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. I also sprinkled some Bragg’s Nutritional Yeast Seasoning on top to give it a cheesy bit of flavor too. While they are in the oven I make a broth of organic chicken broth, some spinach, carrots, onions, green beans and then add the meatballs to the mix and let simmer on low. It turned out delicious!

  1. Awesome video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I did not realize that it was so much work to film. So I really appreciate it. The meatball stew looks great, will have to try it. I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.
