 Welcome back to my channel and welcome if you're new here. It is Monday. So it is meal prep day I have three absolutely fantastic recipes to share with you We have breakfast lunch and a dessert a chocolatey ooey gooey dessert So if you want to see what I have for this week's meal prep, stay tuned For breakfast this week, I'm going to be making heart healthy overnight oats I'm so excited about these it has been a while since I've had overnight oats I even bought some new ball jars for them So it was a little bit bigger for all of the good stuff So let me show you what is in this week's breakfast first You're going to need some organic rolled oats highly recommend organic on your oats They're heavily sprayed with glycosate, which is the active ingredient in Roundup So it's kind of the one thing I really recommend or one of the things that you pick up organic So I picked these ones from the thrive market I do have a link down below for thrive where you get $20 worth of free products when you join the marketplace I love them. There's free shipping. They give you goodies with your order It's just an all-around great place to find good whole organic foods at really really affordable prices So definitely check out the thrive market down below. So I'm going to be using their organic rolled oats I'm going to do oat milk just because I have it on hand and something a little bit different Chia seeds. These are the ball jars that I picked up. These are the one pint Jars, they're a little bit bigger than my old one. So things will fit a little bit better in there Organic unsweetened coconut flakes. You'll need some almonds. These are from nut stop I also have 10% off for you guys at nut stop. It is not an affiliate link. It simply just gets you 10% off I'll put that code here on the screen and it the link is down below I like them as well because they're affordable and I really like these slivered almonds So I'm going to add some of those You'll need some yogurt. This is the organic whole milk maple heal yogurt Now I will put the points down below for full fat milk and fat-free yogurt or milk yogurt and Fat-free yogurt so you can decide which one you want to use in your overnight oats and then you'll need some frozen fruit I'm going to be doing this smoothie singles I want to use these up and I thought this sounded really good for these oats It's peaches pineapple strawberries grapes and passion fruit and I got these at Costco and they come in these little bags So I'm just going to add some of these to the overnight oats And then lastly you'll just need some cinnamon and some vanilla extract So let's get started on breakfast. So let's put together our overnight oats So I have my ball jar here You can see I finally wised up and bought a bigger ball jar because the other one I had was too small So this should be the perfect size. So first thing I'm going to do is at the bottom I'm going to put my one-quarter cup of my rolled oats I like to put my liquid in last so that it has a chance to kind of soap through everything So there are my oats to that. I'm going to add one tablespoon of those slivered almonds I also have one tablespoon of unsweetened coconut flakes This is going to be so good and then I have one tablespoon of my chia seeds and then I do like to kind of just give that a quick mix Just kind of roll it around make sure that all gets kind of mixed together nicely To that we're going to go ahead and add one-quarter cup of yogurt So this is I'm using the full fat yogurt But I'll definitely leave the points below if it changes them for a fat-free yogurt And then I have one third cup of my oat milk. So I'm going to go ahead and add that next And then I'm going to add just a splash of vanilla extracts And Also just the tiniest bit of cinnamon and then I'm going to add my fruit directly to the top And here's the fruit that I'm using so I'm just going to put some in my jar You can do as much as you want frozen fruit is zero points So I'm just going to kind of fill my jar up probably about Half of this bag these are little individual bags because they're made for smoothies But I thought I would just use them up in my overnight oats plus that flavor combination of pineapple papaya Yum. All right. So there we go. We've got everything in our overnight oats here So all we have to do is put on the lid We're gonna put this in our refrigerator and then each day I just pull one out mix it up and I have breakfast doesn't this look so good I probably will pair this with eggs. So let me put together the rest of these and I'll show you all of our completed breakfast And nothing's working But there's something inside of you that says All right, so here is breakfast don't these look so good you guys I made five jars of my overnight oats So this is what they look like I give them a good shake before I throw them into the refrigerator And then literally by the morning they're set the fruit is kind of melted and creates like this yummy juice in there It's going to be absolutely delicious So what I probably will end up doing is pairing this with one or two eggs That way I get a little bit of protein along with my oats So let me give you the smart points for the overnight oats So if you are using full fat yogurt These are eight smart points on both blue and green and six smart points on the purple plan Now if you use fat free yogurt, you're gonna drop the points by two So then your six points on blue and green and four points on purple But yes, I can't wait for these this recipe will be on my website So make sure that you check it out, but I'm excited for breakfast How awesome is this kind of gets you in that springy vibe? So my breakfast are these heart healthy overnight oats and some eggs For lunch this week. I'm going to be making quinoa taco bowls now. These are actually vegetarian I am not adding any meat to these because there are beans in here Now you can certainly add chicken or ground turkey or ground beef But I'm going to make them without because the protein is going to come from the beans We're also making a really quick delicious homemade guacamole. So let me show you what is in this week's lunch First you're going to need some quinoa. I'm just gonna cook this in a pan with some broth That's my favorite way to cook up the quinoa Also, you'll need some beans a can of pinto beans and black beans some taco seasoning I buy mine off of the thrive market because it has fabulous ingredients Check your ingredients of your regular taco seasoning There's usually pretty questionable things in there and this one actually has really really good ingredients And again the link for thrive and the $20 off is down below in the description box So that is the components of the bowl itself and then for toppings. I have some organic tomatoes We're gonna need some garlic salt for our homemade guacamole. I'm gonna top my bowl with some cilantro Some romaine lettuce. You'll also need some avocados and a lime to make that guacamole So let's get started on this week's lunch So the first thing that I've done here is went ahead and added one cup of quinoa Dried quinoa to my pan and then I added two cups of just some organic free-range chicken broth You want to do double the liquid to the quinoa amount? You simply bring this to a boil reduce your heat pop a lid on and in about 15 minutes You have a perfectly cooked quinoa. So I'm gonna get that started while we put together the other pieces of our taco bowl So for our taco bowls our quinoa is cooking up now I'm gonna go ahead and in a Ziploc bag bag up some romaine lettuce I'm gonna chop up some cilantro bag that up and then I went ahead and wash these organic tomatoes And I'm gonna go ahead and chop those and we're just gonna put all of this in a little baggie And then this will just go into our bowl and we're ready to eat lunch We'll just empty the contents of the little bag and everything will be nice and crisp and fresh. So let's get everything chopped up So once everything's chopped up and ready to go I have some sandwich or snack-sized bags I'm gonna do one bag of tomatoes and one bag of lettuce and cilantro I don't want to mix the tomato with the lettuce because it makes it soggy So I'm gonna go ahead and bag these up and then these will be ready to go for when we assemble the bowl So once your quinoa comes to a boil we're just gonna go ahead and really reduce the heat I also like to kind of just give it a quick stir and then we are going to get all steamy There we go. We're simply going to add a lid on and we're just gonna let this cook until the quinoa is cooked completely through I did go ahead and Rinse my black beans and pinto beans. So once the quinoa is done We'll add those and the taco seasoning directly to the quinoa. So my quinoa is done So to my quinoa I'm gonna go ahead and add my drained and rinsed black beans and pinto beans And I'm also going to add my packet of taco seasoning and I'll add a little bit of water We'll mix this all together and then we're ready to put these bowls all together now you guys this is so easy I mean this was literally a very easy easy meal prep lunch And it should be really good full of real clean food and it should be very filling between the quinoa and the beans So I'll get this all mixed together and we'll assemble these bowls So our mixture for our bowls is done. Doesn't that look delicious? So to put our bowls together. It's very simple We're going to add one fourth so this entire batch of quinoa taco seasoning and beans makes four rest four bowls So we want about a half of a cup of quinoa. I think that's a little much there We go about a half of a cup of quinoa in each bowl and then all I'm going to do is place my bag of cut-up tomatoes and My bag of lettuce and cilantro just kind of in the bowl and then when I go to warm it up for lunch I'll go ahead and pull out the two cold items warm up the quinoa bean mixture And then we'll add our homemade guacamole and you could really add tortilla chips sour cream Whatever you want you would just have to count the points for that So let's put together the rest of our lunch bowls I just have to follow that because you don't know The portion I am gonna go ahead and put one bowl together for you to show you guys what it looks like It's what I'll have for lunch today. So the guacamole is extremely easy I picked up these teeny tiny avocados at Trader Joe's So I'm going to actually have one avocado per day I'll go ahead and weigh this out once I remove the pit and everything from the avocado But that's my plan is to just go ahead and eat one of these teeny tiny avocados each day And that's what I'm going to do is just kind of make my guacamole on a daily basis So if you have to take this to work what I would recommend is go ahead and juice your whole line Like we're going to do and bring the whole avocado to work And you can easily put this together right before you eat lunch So go ahead and bring your whole avocado bring your juice of your line So let's actually go ahead and juice our line here And you can even leave the juice of your line in the refrigerator so that it's available for you each day Or you can put it in a little to-go container You know something you'd put dressing in and then you have your line ready to go when you go to make your guacamole So I'm going to go ahead and juice my whole entire line and it'll be ready to go for the week So I have my avocado here So this is what how much that teeny tiny avocado makes? So I would just recommend that you just weigh out your avocado before you add your lime juice and anything else to it And then you'll know how many points to count for your avocado And then to that I'm just going to add just a little bit of my lime juice So that's what's really going to make it taste good and get that kind of more guacamole consistency So this is a very easy guacamole and the only thing you have to count points for is the avocado We're gonna add a little bit of garlic salt and that's what's really going to elevate that flavor and make it much more like a guacamole So mix that all together Smash up your avocado to the consistency of guacamole that you like whether it be chunky or smooth I do like my guacamole a little bit chunky So I am going to leave a few chunks into my guacamole and now let's put together a bowl So to put together our bowls I went ahead and added the quinoa bean mixture to the bottom of my bowl To that I'm going to go ahead and add the lettuce and cilantro packet And what I'm going to do is just kind of put that lettuce and cilantro On about half of my bowl maybe three quarters of my bowl Because we still want to be able to see the quinoa and bean mixture Especially for like aesthetic reasons and then when we go to eat it we'll go ahead and just mix it all together So I've got my cilantro and my lettuce and then I also have my cut up tomatoes So I'm going to put those On my bowl as well just kind of off to the side here I'm going to add my guacamole because that is going to be part of my bowl is the actual guacamole And then I think the last thing that I'm going to add Is a couple of crushed up tortilla chips now you also could do sour cream You could add olives kind of whatever you want to You just have to count the points for whatever toppings you decide to put on your quinoa bowl So to top my bowl, I'm going to use one point of the siete grain free tortilla chips in lime So basically it's going to be about two And a half chips and I'm just going to kind of crinkle that up on top of my bowl here And that's going to give me that nice crunch now you could really add whatever else you wanted Of course to your bowl, you just need to make sure that you count those points So there we go. We add a little bit of tortilla chips to the top And our quinoa taco bowl is done. So let me flip you around and show you our completed lunch So here is our completed quinoa taco bowl doesn't this look absolutely delicious So let me go over the points here for you If you are on the blue plan, this is only three smart points The only thing you have to count points for is the quinoa now for toppings I do need to add those points in so I have one point work of the siete chips I have two points worth of avocado my lettuce salsa tomatoes are all zero smart points So this is going to be a six smart point lunch. Look how delicious this looks now if you are on The green plan without any toppings This is seven points and on the purple plan it is actually zero smart points before you add any toppings So I'm so excited for these. This is going to be a fantastic delicious lunch. I can't wait I'll probably pair this with a fruit and it's going to be wholesome filling and delicious clean eating Four sweet treats this week. I'm going to be making clean eat them eating Freedom brownies. Oh, that's a mouthful Very simple literally six ingredients and I've heard that these brownies are phenomenal And they're really really low smart point for a brownie. So let me show you what's in our brownies Calls for cocoa powder. I don't have cocoa powder on hand. I just always sub cacao powder So I'm going to be using that for the chocolate base You'll need some coconut flour coconut oil maple syrup vanilla extract And some eggs super simple. So let's make some brownies. So I have my bowl here to my bowl I'm going to add one third cup of coconut flour. I just went ahead and measured a mountain bowl since I don't have enough One third cups. I'm also going to add five Cracked eggs and you guys know me and my shells. I always crack those Separately and then the recipe calls for one half of a cup of maple syrup. You can see I don't quite have a half of a cup. I'm out completely I thought I had way more and I was just at Trader Joe's like two days ago So I'm going to have to add that to my list and pick up some more maple syrup I actually looked at Costco and they didn't have any so One of those things that are in big demand, I guess and then I have another third cup here of my cacao powder You can use unsweetened coconut powder I just like cacao. It's a superfood and it gives it a little bit more rich chocolate taste And then I went ahead and warmed up one third cup of coconut oil as well And last but not least I'm going to add just a little bit of vanilla extract And then we are just going to mix this all together and that's it that is all We have to do for these brownies and let me just tell you how delicious This smells. I'm hoping that they're sweet enough with a little lower amount of syrup Um, I'm sure that they will be but that is that's a bummer. I really didn't know I was that low on syrup So let me get this mixed together and then we're ready to throw this into a baking pan All right, so I have my baking dish. This is a small one It's about a six by nine. You could do a seven by 11 Depending on the size of the dish you choose the thickness of your brownies will vary But here is my brownie mix. It looks really good. So I'm literally just going to pour it on in It smells incredible. It smells like When you go into a bakery that just really sweet like cookie cake Brownie smell. That's what this batter smells like. So I I'm really excited not to mention that these brownies are super clean everything. So we're going to go ahead and add our brownie mix And that's it. This is going to go into 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until our brownies are cooked through Oh my goodness you guys my brownies are out of the oven These look incredible. They need to cool completely. The recipe says let them cool completely or they will fall apart So I'm going to let those get cooling and I'm actually going to boil some eggs in my instant pot So I wanted to show you guys I've shown this before but a lot of you are new to my channel I want to show you the 555 method for making literally the easiest best hard boiled eggs So while these delicious brownies cool, let's make some eggs. So for the easiest To peel best tasting hard boiled eggs go ahead and add your insert to your instant pot You can also use the one that's made for eggs. I just use the little rack. It works just fine To that we're going to go ahead and add one cup of water and that's going to serve as the liquid Over here. I have my eggs. I want to boil I don't know a dozen So what I do is I just lay them on the rack and I'm telling you it works just as well as the egg insert So if you don't have that egg insert You didn't spend the money on that and all you have is this rack that came in your instant pot You guys it works just fine to boil eggs save yourself some money But if you are looking for that insert and some of the other fun accessories for the instant pot I will link an accessory pack down below for you guys that I found on amazon the one that I have and I really do love it It's comprehensive. It has all the different little accessories and tools for the instant pot So I'll link that down below for you guys All right, so all you're going to do then is pop in your eggs. I might actually do all that are left here So I love hard boiled eggs. Love them on salad. I love them for breakfast when I don't feel like actually making an egg So that's the last of those eggs So very very simple You're going to pop your lid on and then down here on your display panel You're simply going to select It's dirty. There we go You're simply going to select the egg button And it's going to set it for five minutes Once that five minutes is up You're going to naturally release for five and then we'll take our eggs out So I'll show you that once the timer goes off So the timer went off and now it is naturally releasing so you can see that it is released for two minutes So when that reads five minutes, we'll go ahead and turn this dial here to venting And then we'll be ready to put our eggs into an ice bath when you hit five minutes We're going to go and release what a little bit of pressure is left Remove the lid. I have an ice bath here And what I'll do is usually just take my tongs pull the eggs out and put them into the ice bath And here are our eggs So I just go in with my tongs because they are like super duper hot And I just go ahead and pop them here Into this ice bath and then you want to do five minutes in the ice bath as well So basically that's where you get the 555 method Now you can go longer in the ice bath if you want it's not going to hurt anything But once it's sat in the ice here for five minutes I'm not joking when I tell you that these are the easiest to peel Perfectly hard boiled eggs ever so I'll be back to show you just how quick and easy they peel And then kind of how I store my eggs I do pre-peel them all because my husband if he has to peel them himself He doesn't eat them. So I'll be back to show you the next step So here's my system. I have one two Crack the egg put the shells here put the cracked egg here to allow it to dry So I take an egg out of my water Give it a quick crack and literally you guys look at this the shell It just falls off of this these eggs. It's just absolutely amazing. Look at that Just comes right off and you can even take it off in big pieces Once I get the shell removed I will often dip in the water and then go ahead and just set it aside I kind of demolish that one, but you get the idea. So let's go ahead and get all these eggs peeled Yeah, there this one's coming out better. See how you can just pull the entire shell off I must have been a little rough on that one It's just crazy and I always like to give it a rinse though just to set it aside And that way they're nice and dry when they go into my ziploc bag So let me get these all peeled and then I'll be back to show you kind of how I store my eggs And what makes them last for the entire week So my eggs are all peeled and they're all ready to go So how I like to store them is I take a gallon size ziploc bag In the bottom of the bag I put a paper towel and then I'm going to go ahead and add all my eggs in now They are fairly dried off. I mean, they're a little bit damp still But I'll go ahead and add all my eggs into that. I kind of try to place them on the paper towel I feel like that works really well Go ahead and pop all your hard-boiled eggs in and again I pre peel mine because my husband does not eat them if he has to peel them himself I know I know and then I put a paper towel on top When I go to seal the bag I try to push as much air out of the bag as I can And then this is kind of how my my eggs look so they're wedged between the two paper towels It helps soak up all the moisture and then I just store these in my fridge So when I want a hard-boiled egg I just pull one out of the bag and literally you have perfect hard-boiled eggs in 15 minutes So I went ahead and cut my brownies into 15 Servings the recipe makes 15 servings So what I'm going to do is go ahead and pull one out show you the serving size and give you the smart points So here's where I remove the serving. So that's how thick the brownies are That is the size of the brownie. So that's a pretty good size And we're talking real whole clean ingredients like maple syrup Good cow powder coconut oil all the things. So that is a really good size brownie And it is four smart points per serving no matter what plan you're on So you my friends can have a brownie for four smart points So here are my snacks for this week.
