 Welcome back to my channel and welcome if you're new here it is Monday so that means it is meal prep day since I didn't go on my trip to San Diego which is a little bit of a bummer but all good reasons why I wasn't able to go because the fun run was canceled and my best friend isn't feeling a hundred percent yet so it's kind of a blessing but a little bit of a bummer at the same time I was able to put together a meal prep for you guys I'm so excited about these three recipes that I have for you they are all incredible and I cannot wait to share them with you so let's jump right into this weekly my ww meal prep my breakfast this week I'm going to be making egg nests I'm really excited about this I'm going to pair this with a slice of toast and some fruit so let me show you what is in the egg nests so this is the cookbook that I got this recipe out of this is the true roots by Kristen Cavalieri you guys I love this cookbook I've used this several times in my recipes she has over 100 recipes that are free from gluten dairy and refined sugar look at all my little tabs that's how much I love this cookbook great recipes really whole clean food everything I've made is absolutely delicious so I pulled the egg nests recipe out of here so this cookbook I will link it down below for you guys highly highly recommend so in our egg nests you're going to need some coconut oil garlic powder smoked paprika salt and pepper you're also going to need a red onion sweet potato you could use really any meat that you want I think the original recipe called for pancetta but I'm just going to use ham this ham is really low points great ingredients so I'm excited for that and then you're going to need some eggs so let's get started so the first thing we need to do is prepare the ingredients for the egg nests I'm going to go ahead and slice up this entire pack of ham it's seven ounces total just into small pieces to put into the nest and then I'm going to chop up half of this red onion in very small pieces and then I'm going to peel and then we're going to grate our sweet potato with this little grater kind of like we would grate cheese and that's going to form the nest instead of using hash browns or a potato we're going to use the sweet potato to fill that little nest so let's get started we've got lots of chopping peeling dicing to do your sweet potatoes these look so good we want to try to get as much much moisture out as we can so I have a paper towel here and I'm just going to kind of soak out as much of the moisture as I possibly can out of the sweet potatoes just because we want them to get kind of crispy like a hash brown kind of when we cook the egg nests so I'm just going to soak out all the moisture and then we're ready to put together our little egg nests I'm so excited you guys this is going to be so filling and absolutely delicious so let's start putting together these nests so the first thing that we're going to do is take our dried sweet potato so I just dried them as much as I could with a paper towel we are going to bake these for a couple of minutes before we add the egg and meat so though that'll give them a chance to crisp up a little bit but go ahead and add in your sweet potato ribbons and then to that we're going to add one tablespoon of melted coconut oil we're also going to add some seasoning so a little bit of pepper let's see I like a lot of pepper so let's do that and we're going to do a pinch of salt as well and then we're going to add garlic powder sprinkle in a little bit of garlic powder I love garlic oh my gosh you guys I love seasonings as you know my food I like it very seasoned and then we're going to have some paprika as well and then we're going to mix this all together and this is actually going to go into the muffin tin and into the oven for just a few minutes and kind of start these getting nice and crispy and then in the meantime we'll put together the egg mixture so that will add that to it once it comes out of the oven next you're going to need a muffin tin and some liners look at these fun ones that I have these are actually left over from a little barbecue that we had at our house I made some homemade cupcakes not ww friendly this was about a month or so ago so we might as well use these up so we're going to go ahead and do 12 of the muffin liners and then we're going to fill these liners with our sweet potatoes so we're going to go ahead and take a spoonful of the sweet potato mixture and we're going to put it into the muffin liner and we're just going to press down we want the bottom completely covered with the sweet potato and see how nice that is it just kind of sinks right in and you can make kind of a crust in the bottom of the pan of the cupcake liner because that's going to be the base of the nest and we want to make sure the egg doesn't sink to the bottom of the liner that it kind of stays within the sweet potato so I'm giving it a pretty good push and flattening it out as much as I can so let's go ahead and fill all 12 of the cupcake liners so we're ready to put these into the oven at 375 for about five minutes or so just until they start to kind of cook and crisp up while the sweet potatoes are in the oven I have a bowl here and I have 12 eggs I'm going to crack 12 eggs into the bowl and we're just going to add a pinch of salt and get these nice and mixed together so I just took our sweet potato cups here out of the oven we're going to go ahead and add our egg mixture so we're just going to put in egg until our cup is almost full we want to leave room to add in the ham and also add in our red onions so we don't want it to overflow during the cooking and remember by putting the sweet potatoes in the bottom it made a crust so our egg is not going to sink in much into the sweet potato so it's going to kind of sit on top so be mindful of that when you're filling up the little cups so let's get these full and then we'll go ahead and add that yummy ham and onions alright so we are ready to add our meat so I'm just going to take the ham and I'm just going to kind of sprinkle it right on top of the egg you guys this looks so good and filling and wait till you guys hear the smart points this is a super super low point breakfast but it's going to be so filling with the egg the ham and then you get that little bit of carb for the morning with the sweet potato so let's get these filled with the ham and then we'll go ahead and add the onion these back into the oven to let these finish cooking don't they look delicious so we're just going to toss them back in still at the 375 just until our eggs are cooked through so here are our egg nests they were nice and full a few of them overflowed I just went ahead and cut the extra egg off these look really really good though you guys look at that yum so I'm going to put together my meal prep and I'll be back to show you what I'm having for breakfast and give you the smart points so here is my breakfast for the week you guys I can't wait for this I'm so excited I've got some toast over here that I'm going to have with it so I'm going to have two of my egg nests every single day these are only one smart point on both the blue and purple plan and only three smart points each on the green plan just because you have to account for the eggs so I'm going to have two of these for two smart points I have a berry mixture here of some organic strawberries and blueberries for zero and then I'm going to have a slice of toast this is the traitor Joe sourdough bread sprouted sourdough I love this bread as you guys know I just keep it in the freezer and just pull out a piece as needed when I want to have a slice of toast it is two smart points and then I'm going to be putting one point worth of my melt organic plant-based butter I love this butter so much best ingredients lowest smart points compared to regular butter and I love it so it'll be one point for that two points for the toast and then two points for the egg nest so this is a five smart point breakfast I get all of this delicious whole real food for five smart points for lunch this week I'm going to be making a cheese stuffed turkey meatloaf I am so excited about these I'm going to make little mini meatloaves so I cannot wait let me show you what's in my lunch I'm going to be using this ground lupin bean that I picked up from Costco as my binder in place of breadcrumbs now you can use breadcrumbs crackers a lot of people will use saltines but for me this is pretty clean for a binder I just lower the amount that I put in so I put in about three quarters of the recipe amount of breadcrumbs because this really really is a great binder but it's very dense so you don't need as much great ingredients it has more protein than quinoa more fiber than oats and only one gram of carbs so it's really truly a great binder I'm going to be using this organic Valley Mexican blend shredded cheese you'll need some cooking spray for seasonings I'm going to be doing the 21 seasonings salute from Trader Joe's in place of the adobo in the recipe just because I don't like spicy and some parsley flakes here are my cute little mini loaf pans I'll also need some salt and pepper one pound of ground turkey I have the simple truth organic 93 7 ground turkey now you can lower the points if you use a 99% but I did want that little bit of fat I don't love the 99% so I'm going to use this just to give it a little bit more moistness to the turkey itself and then you're going to need an egg as well so let's get started on our meatloaf so to get started on our meatloaf so I went ahead and put my pound of turkey it's still a little bit frozen but that's okay it'll defrost while we're cooking or while we're putting the ingredients together so there's my one pound of organic ground turkey to that I am going to add just a little bit of salt I just usually will add a pinch of that and a pinch of black pepper and then we're going to add some of the Trader Joe's 21 seasoning salute I just really like this it has just a good variety of seasonings in there and then we're going to add a little bit of parsley as well and that just kind of adds some nice color and flavor and then I have one third cup of my ground lupin so the recipe called for three quarters of a cup of breadcrumbs but again this is much more dense so that should be plenty for one pound of meat and then lastly we're going to go ahead and add in one egg and we're going to give this a stir make sure everything is a nice and combined together and then we'll be ready to add these to our mini meatloaf pans we are going to stuff them with cheese you guys these are going to be so good so let me make sure I get this nice and mixed together and we'll get ready to put these into the mini meatloafs so the recipe makes six mini meatloafs and I actually only have four little mini pans so I pulled out a couple of ramekins as well sprayed them with my avocado oil spray and what I'm going to do is put some of the meat mixture in the bottom of each of the little pans spread that out and then we're going to top it with cheese before we add a little bit more meat mixture on top so I'm going to divide this out as evenly as I can into my containers and then we're going to spread that out and top it with some cheese so I have three quarters of a cup of my cheese here I want to reserve about a quarter of a cup to top our meat loaf so I'm going to put some cheese over the top of the meatloaf that we've already put down in our pans and then we're going to top it with the remainder of the meat mixture and then we'll top it one last time with the remainder of the cheese so set that aside we've got this much of our meat mixture left so I'm just going to divide that evenly out over top of these six meat loaves and again we'll spread that out and make a nice even meatloaf alright so our meatloafs are ready to go into a 350 degree oven until they are cooked through I'll be back to show you what they look like and we'll go over the rest of what I'm going to be having for lunch meatloafs are out of the oven they smell so cheesy and delicious I'm going to let them cool just a couple of minutes and then I'm going to put them in my meal prep container with my veggie and the rest of my lunch and I'll be back to show you my lunch and give you the smart points alright so here is my lunch you guys I am very excited for my lunch for this week so I have one of those mini meatloafs that we just made these are pretty good size and we have real full fat Mexican shredded cheese on these we have lupin which is a great healthy binder and we have 93% turkey so each one of these little mini meatloafs is going to be for smart points so this is the one in the ramekin so it looks a little bit different but that is four points on all plans for the little mini meatloaf and then I just have some organic frozen green beans I just throw those in there nuke them in the microwave and they cook perfectly throwing them into my meal prep container frozen and then with my meatloaf I'm going to be having half of a serving or one half of an ounce of these Thrive Market non-GMO grain free vegan nacho puffs you guys these are best in class they are made with coconut oil they are really really good as far as the ingredients go they are a little bit higher in smart points only because of the coconut oil but the ingredients are really really good in these so this is one half of an ounce so that's a decent amount of the cheese puffs they're really thick and dense and they have really really good flavor and this is only three smart points for half of an ounce you can have an entire ounce for six points as you can see I picked these up on the Thrive Market again there is a discount for $20 worth of free product the link is down in the description box at this time when we are struggling to find food in the grocery store this is even a better time to take advantage and join the Thrive Market so I'm going to be having each day three points worth of the puffs these are a definite repurchase and then it is four points for the meatloaf so my entire lunch is only seven smart points snack this week I'm going to be making the classic glow bar glow without a W so GLO this recipe I found in the Oshe Glows Cookbook another fantastic cookbook this is from author Angela Lydden they are vegan recipes to glow from the inside out now they are so good you can always add meat and things to these if you wanted to make them non-vegan but they are very healthy very whole food based recipes which I love this cookbook I actually found on eBay and I've struggled to find it but if I can find it I will link it down below for you guys but this is seriously an amazing cookbook I'll be doing a lot of recipes out of here so we're making her traditional glow bar so let me show you what is in those bars so first you're going to need some chia seeds I have some organic rolled oats these are from the Thrive Market you guys know I love Thrive Market there's a link down below for $20 of free products when you sign up for Thrive highly recommend free shipping best prices hands down on whole organic food hands down I can't find anything less expensive in my local area than on Thrive so check out the Thrive Market on sweetened coconut flakes maple syrup you'll need some sort of rice cereal if you are not following clean eating you could even use rice Krispies if you wanted also some peanut butter cinnamon vanilla I'm using the enjoy life mini chocolate chips you can also use lilies chocolate chips if you want to lower the smart points these have I think three smart points per tablespoon versus the lilies so whatever your preference is I'm going to use these they have really really good ingredients and then I have some organic sunflower seeds and of course some salt so let's get started so let's get started on our bars so the first thing we're going to do is in my big measuring cup here I have one and a quarter cup of the rice cereal and then at the bottom I have one and a half cups of the organic rolled oats so we're just gonna put those in our bowl to that we're gonna go ahead and add in some cinnamon you can do as much or as little as you like I love cinnamon cinnamon is so good for you as well so I'm gonna put in about a teaspoon of cinnamon and then we are going to add one quarter cup of the unsweetened coconut flakes and also a quarter cup of the organic sunflower seeds now I forgot to show you guys in the beginning you're also going to need two tablespoons of sesame seeds so I apologize I didn't pull those out in the beginning but we're gonna go ahead and add in two tablespoons of sesame seeds and two tablespoons of chia and then lastly just kind of a pinch of salt and then we're gonna give this a good stir mix that all together make sure that all your dry ingredients is combined really well before we add in the wet ingredients once your dry ingredients are nice and combined we're gonna add in our wet ingredients now in the original recipe it calls for brown rice syrup I'm not a big fan of brown rice syrup so I'm substituting maple syrup and because I am doing that I am not going to heat it on the stove like the original recipe calls for to kind of thicken up the brown rice syrup because this maple syrup itself is very very thick and then I have my peanut butter here I went ahead and on my food scale weighed out 60 milliliters which is essentially one quarter of a cup of the creamy organic peanut butter from Trader Joe's so we're gonna add in that and then lastly we're gonna put in just a little bit of vanilla extract and then we are going to stir this together it is going to be very very thick the main goal and objective here is to make sure that all of this cereal gets somewhat coated before we add in our chocolate chips lastly we're going to add in three ounces of the enjoy life chocolate chips I went ahead and weighed that out on my food scale go ahead and give that another mix oh my gosh these are gonna be so delicious and then these are actually no bake so we're gonna grab out a pan and some parchment paper and get these ready to go nine by nine pan line it with some parchment paper and then we are going to take our glow bar ingredients and we're just going to pour it directly on to the parchment paper and then we are going to take some muscle and we are going to flatten this down and make it nice and flat so that our bars stick together that's really important to add a little bit of muscle and flatten out the mixture to make sure that your bars stick together once they have started started to harden you want to have an actual granola bar when you're done not something that kind of falls apart so make sure that you you can use a pastry roller you can use your hand a spoon but you're just going to go over and you're going to really do your best to flatten that out so here they are these look so good we're going to go ahead and put these in the freezer for about 10 minutes just until they're hardened and then we're going to use our little parchment I don't know if you guys can see that piece here to pop them out of our pan and cut them into our bars I just pulled the glow bars out of the freezer I'm going to cut these into 12 bars and I'll be back to show you the completed bars and give you the smart points okay here are the bars I cut them into 12 servings so this is the size of the bar it is pretty good sized you guys I'm going to get these in a storage container and I'll kind of show you a little bit more of the size and give you the points so here they are now they are not holding together as well as I was hoping the brown rice syrup would really help with that it would definitely make it a little more sticky where it would stick together but you know what I tasted it and it's amazing so the points for these bars are as follows so cut into 12 bars like I did this is a good size bar it is seven smart points on both the blue and green plan and six points on the purple plan I know that seems kind of high but you could have this with breakfast with some eggs and fruit and this is a whole food delicious granola bar much better than buying one processed at your local store so I'm excited to have these now you can cut these into 16 bars to lower the points I'll put that option down in the description box with the recipe but can't wait to have these they look really good so here are my snacks for the week I'm keeping it pretty darn simple using the food I have on hand so of course I'm going to not eat these snacks every single day I do change it up a little bit so I like to have a little bit of variety in my snack options so one of my snack options is this black garlic hope hummus you guys yum I love this hummus it's so good you can actually have three tablespoons of this hummus for only two smart points so you actually get an extra tablespoon and it is so good fantastic ingredients I find this at Fred Meyer and I also can find this at really any natural food store they usually have this and then I'm going to pair that just with these Trader Joe's organic cut and peeled carrots so good to dip the carrots in the hummus uh yum so that would be a two smart point snack with the carrots I also have these organic valley that I hauled at Costco these are the stringles string cheese that's mouthful these are three smart points a piece I do really like these it's a full whole fat mozzarella really really good and then of course I have a bill bar I have these pretty much daily this is the coconut almond if you guys love almond joy you will love the coconut almond bill bar it is very reminiscent of an almond joy it's that delicious and this is only three smart points there's 130 calories 18 grams of protein seven fiber only three sugar and five fat so between the protein fat and fiber it keeps you nice and full I really really like this flavor just heads up on bill bar all of the traditional flavors of bill bars are three smart points a piece any bill bar that is nut based so for example the peanut butter or toffee almond are four points but well worth it you guys a nut based bar in my opinion keeps me a little bit more full just because of that extra fat in the nuts and protein actually if you are brand new to bill bar they have a fantastic promotion going on right now I'll make sure that I put that separate link down below for you guys you can get 10 dollars off your first order if you are new to bill bar that is amazing so you get 10 bucks off a full box couple boxes built boost whatever
