#journeytohealthy #mealprep #weightloss

Hi guys welcome back to my channel welcome back to another meal prep video so here is everything that I’m going to attempt to meal prep today if it feel starts to feel like it’s too much or it’s taking too long I will tend to take something off but I think all of these

Things are doable today it’s um pretty early so here’s what we’re going to do um as most of you know I do work outside at the home I have a job that is 40 plus hours a week I work in the office 3 days

A week at home 2 days a week and I don’t get I leave the house but on the days I go to the office I leave the house a little bit after 7:00 I usually don’t get home till a little bit after 5:00 so I need to have things that are good for

Grab and go snacks grab and go lunches grab and go plus when I get home from work I am not a night person so the easiest that I can have for dinner the best anything that I can have prepped ahead of time the best um I have had to

Work through my issues of leftovers over the years and I find I like to have things or certain things that I don’t mind having as leftovers and one of those things are like soups and stews and chilies that’s why I make a lot of those on my channel so all of these

Things are going to kind of make up what will be lunches and dinners throughout the week and then I do have a couple other dinners I’m having that you’re not going to see in this video like the dinner tonight I’m making a pot roast so I’ll have that tonight one night we’re

Going to do like taco salads that’ll be an easy thing to make up but the rest of the stuff will be lunches and dinners so I’m going to do a big batch of turkey chili you’re going to see my turkey chili is very similar to my taco soup

The seasoning is really the only difference between the two um but I just I like to change between the two of those quite often because again those make great leftovers they are super low points you can actually even make them zero points um depending on what you put

In them the one I’m making tonight is actually zero points or making yeah um I don’t know about the seasoning I’m using a new seasoning so I’ll have to look at that it may add points but because of how many servings it is usually if you use seasoning packets it does not count

Points then I’m going to make a chicken salad that I can have in a wrap I have some wraps to use up I have some pea wraps some tortilla wraps I also like to have this with some veggies I like to use like bell peppers kind of like in

Place of crackers with my chicken salad so that would be a good lunch orner dinner um I’m going to make a batch of Mediterranean meatballs um I can the meatballs you can make into a wrap with pita wraps you can throw into a bowl you

Can put them on a salad so many things you can do with meatballs so I’m going to do a batch of mediterran Meatballs I do have some taziki sauce left over from last week so that’s what made me think to do the meatballs to go in a bowl like

If I do this um do the meatballs as a bowl or as a wrap I have a Mediterranean salad that I’m going to do on the side dish and then I don’t know for some reason KLA just sounded super good this week I don’t know you guys know how you

Get like those Cravings like out of nowhere that’s what happened with the Kela this week and I have a really um like a skinny Kela and has zero points and I can have that like with my chicken salad wrap or just to eat it I also have

Some um chicken some frozen chicken I can always heat up some frozen chicken have some col Sal on the side for dinner um so always a good option plus it’s veggies and it’s really good then you guys I rediscovered my love for protein pudding made those two different flavors

Last week in last week’s meal prep video check out last week’s meal prep video to see the other two flavors I did a butterscotch last week and a banana cream which was out of this world this week I’m going to do a strawberry cheesecake and an Oreo

Cheesecake I’ve not tried either one of these before so this will be new so stay tuned for my what I eat in a day video or what I ate this week video that goes up usually on on Thursdays and you can see what I thought about those two

Different puddings so let’s go ahead and get into meal prep we’re going to start with the turkey chili because I’m going to put that in my crock pot and just kind of let it sit for a few hours in there so let’s go ahead and start with

That and then we’ll do the rest of the meal prep here are all the ingredients for the turkey chili since I am using the 99% lean ground turkey it will be a0 Point chili so I’m going to use a pound of this I’m going to add some carrots

Lots of bell peppers I’m going to do the full green bell pepper um the full red bell pepper because I have two of these half of each of these and then the other half I’m going to use for like my chicken salad and then I have some chopped onions I have some sweet

Corn can of diced fire roasted diced tomatoes I highly recommend getting the fire roasted ones some bone broth some kidney beans and some black beans um a little lesson on kidney beans in case you did not know check your label on kidney beans a lot of different

Companies add sugar to your kidney beans you are usually get a safe bet by getting the organic ones they typically most organic kidney beans none of them have sugar so if you ever scan your kidney beans and they come up with points that’s why they’re coming up with

Points check the label a lot of people don’t scan their beans because back in the day the Weight Watchers app wasn’t very good with zero point Foods you’d scan them and they would come up with points because they just label wasn’t translating well into a zero point food

So a lot of people got out of the habit of scanning zero point foods and I think that kidney beans is probably one of those that people don’t scan knowing that beans are zero points but some of them put sugar the ones with sugar have points so just watch your label pay a

Little bit extra for the organic ones and there you don’t have any with sugar don’t know why they put sugar in them it’s a little bit ridiculous cuz no other beans put sugar and the organic don’t put sugar so no idea why it does that um you don’t have to use bone broth

You can just use regular chicken stock I like bone broth that has a little bit extra protein in it I like the flavor of it in different soups and stews it’s just a really rich flavor so I’m going to go and get my crock pot out I’m going

Actually using my crockpot for a stew so I have to get my pressure cooker out but I can use it as a slow cooker as well I’m going to get my Chopper out I hate my Chopper cuz I hate cleaning it but I have a lot to chop today so going to get

That out and we’re going to put this stew together I think I touched on this seasoning I think I forgot typically I use my own seasonings for chili but I saw this on the Walmart app when I was doing my grocery pickup order and I love love love Kinder seasoning as you guys

Know and this it just sounded really good I just have a feeling that it’s going to be amazing and it’s only 15 calories for a serving so when you spread this over I’m just not going to even account points for it I’ll put it in the tracker see what happens

Typically anytime your soups or chilies or stews our six or more servings the seasoning packets don’t count as points I’m chopping veggies I went ahead and have my pressure cooker I set it to the brown setting and I’m going to go ahead and just Brown up that ground

Turkey this is my veggie Chopper I got to rinse it out cuz it’s been sitting in my cupboard for a while so it’s kind of Dusty I really like it I like the um how well it chops I just hate cleaning it cuz he these little like great things I

Have this little this little thing right here that cleans it so I’m going to go and go rinse this off and I’m probably going to switch to voice over because it’s going to get loud in here between my Chopper and my U meat over there Browning up so let go

Ahead and get this cleaned up and then we’ll get to Chopping this is a beautiful little tool so I think because I have so many veggies I’m going to take out some some of these to add to my chicken salad because I really don’t need this many for my chili but you can see I do tend

To put a lot of veggies in my chili just that’s another good way get some extra veggies in the only other thing I need to cut with my Chopper is going to be some green no red onion and some celery for my actually I think I’ll just leave

The celery out of my chicken salad since I’m doing so much of these veggies so I just need to chop up some red onion and then I can put my Chopper away but I’m going to go ahead and add these to this chili actually first we’re going to add

The seasoning to the chili I like to add the seasoning before I add any liquid because I like to warm the seasoning up ahead of time um that way just really helps activate that seasoning plus this meat is so low fat that I want to add a

Little bit of flavor so I’m going to go and just add this in here crunch up the meat a little bit more then we’re going to add in all of our veggies saut those up a little bit before we add in our bone broth seasoning smells so good it

Is so Smokey and I am a huge fan of like smoked paprika I love Liquid Smoke I love Smoky Barbecue sauce I am such a sucker for smoked stuff um and this smells just like that I mean it is so good you guys if you can find that I

Found it at Walmart it was it was pretty cheap it was like $128 and I think this is going to be a game changer for my chili I really do okay I’m going to go ahead and grab the onions and the corn mix those up and then we’re going to add in

1 and 1/2 cups of bone broth and actually with all this all these veggies I have I think I’m going to go ahead and do two cups of bro broth is what I’m going to end up doing so look how rich and like just dark colored this broth is i that’s what

I love about bone broth it just has such a rich color and that’s chicken bone broth too it’s it just it’s just so full of flavor so here we go guys this is everything now I’m going to go ahead and um bring this to a boil and simmer it

For the next couple of hours so you’ll see that when it’s all done and then we’re going to go ahead and continue on with the rest of our meal prep how many of you realized I forgot the beans and the tomatoes y’all this is definitely you

Can tell this is the day I did not sleep very well the day night before so I’m going to go and open all these I’m going to drain and rinse the beans and add these to the Chelly and then we will go ahead and simmer it oh my goodness y’all

I let me know in the comments we all of you wondering is she going to add the beans and the tomatoes let me know next up we’re going to make some Mediterranean meatballs set your oven at 400 this is going to make 18 meatballs so let me show you everything that goes

Into it we’re going to do a ground a pound of ground turkey I’m using the 9 9% lean so this is zero points we’re going to need 1/4 cup of sun-dried tomatoes use the kind with no oil it’ll be zero points an egg we need 1/4 cup of

Green onion 1/4 cup of feta I’m using fat-free feta 1/4 cup of gr parmesan some minced garlic I’m using greek seasoning and parsley it called for some other seasoning but I’m just going to use that one thing I’m not putting in that’s in the original recipe I will

Link down below is breadcrumbs I just don’t use breadcrumbs so the first thing we’re going to do is going to add in the Julian uh sundried Tomatoes totally escaped me I what I did was I cut them up a little bit finer um than what they were added

In that 1/4 cup of fat-free feta I’m just adding in some green onions and then also going to add in about 1/4 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese and like I said this normally calls for breadcrumbs but I just don’t find the need to put breadcrumbs in

Meatballs I have never had an issue with them falling apart that’s always been my understanding of why you use breadcrumbs is so they don’t fall apart never had that issue with like meatloaf and things like that I do tend to use it but not for like meatballs so we’re going to add

In an egg we’re just going to add in some parsley of course if you have fresh parsley it’s probably better in this recipe and then I’m going to add in this greek seasoning I love this Cavender’s greek seasoning it is the best so then I’m just going to take I always start my

Any kind of my meatball mixture with my little Chopper here and then I end up going in with my hands and and um forming the meatballs now a little trick especially when you’re using this extra lean um meat sometimes you may be really sticky and you can just spray your hand

A little bit with some non- non-stick cooking spray and then that usually helps um I actually didn’t have to do that with this mixture it did not stick at all now like I said this meatball makes meatball recipe makes 18 meatballs so we’re going to go ahead and put these

Into the oven at 400 for 20 to 25 minutes mine took 25 minutes while these are in the oven we’re going to go ahead and make our Mediterranean side salad that I’ll be using to go along with these meatballs so for the side salad what you’re going to need is you’re

Going to need some um a cucumber some Tomatoes I like to use these Ruby rows and I always peel my um cucumber a little bit we’re going to need some fat-free feta I’m just going to use a 1/4 cup of that some green onions we’ll need some red wine vinegar some lemon

Juice some camama olives some chickpeas a red onion some minced garlic some more of that Cavender’s greek seasoning and then some parsley um I will have the recipe link down below that I kind of loosely base this after now I like my cucumbers to be kind of

Chunky but you could cut them up a little bit smaller if you’d like but I just I like mine whenever I have like a side salad like this I do like to have it kind of chunkier um vegetables I used 15 colada olives I used um about um probably about a cup of

Tomatoes and then I’m going to add in some red onion um if you if your person does not like raw onion then you can leave this part off and then I’m going to add in some green onion this recipe also called f green bell pepper but I’m not a huge

Huge fan of like raw green bell peppers so I um left that out of it and we’re going to do our 1/4 cup of fat-free feta and then this dressing for this actually called for olive oil but I’m not going to use olive oil I am not a huge fan of

Um of olive oil in dressings and salads and stuff like on its own I like you know I don’t mind making a dressing out of it but just putting like it had you putting in olive oil red wine vinegar and lemon juice for me just the red wine

Vinegar which I used a tablespoon of red wine with vinegar also added in some minced garlic some parsley and some of that Greek Cavender’s seasoning and I’m going to do 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice and that really helps keep the vegetables and stuff fresh throughout

The week as well and I tasted it and it was fine I did not need the oil but if you want to add in oil you can add in like a tablespoon of avocado or olive oil as well because that is what the recipe called for I just don’t think

It’s needed for the extra calories and extra points and I know it is a healthier oil but what I will probably do is add some avocado to this when I have it so that’s probably what I will do for my healthy fat in this and then we have our drained and rinsed um

Chickpeas ganza beans which again almost forgot the beans they were draining in the sink and I went to go rinse off my knife and realized oh yeah we need to put those in there um and I’m going to put up here the for my tracker so I put

It into the Lose It app and also into the WW app and you’ll see the points and the calories and all that coming at just one no it was zero points because I did four servings for this so it all came up to zero points even with the olives and

The fat-free feta and then I had the calories and all that here on the screen and then here are the meatballs all finished so again I will have the calories and points and all that here on the screen as well and you’ll see the protein these come in at one and I put

This in as six servings so three meatballs per serving is what how I put this into the tracker now some ways I’m going to have this I’m going to use these Joseph pasas and I can make like um a peita out of it add some taziki sauce add some of this

Um Mediterranean salad and like three of the Meatballs that could be one way to have it or I may just do a bowl and I can take the pasas and put them in the air fryer and make them crispy and kind of do a bowl with the with that or I can

Do a salad and just chop up some lettuce add the meatballs on top and then add a little bit to ziki Sauce so lots of ways that I can use these meatballs throughout the the week next up I’m going to make a chicken salad now I like to use the hand chicken

Breast and know a lot of people do not I’m going to use some plain non-ff Greek yogurt some mustard some of this Lor’s seasoning and some of the Kinder’s buttery poultry blend which I absolutely love and then I have some of the veggies that I chopped up earlier sometimes I’ll add some light

Mayo to this but I did not this time but one thing I do with my chicken is I drain it and I rinse it really well and then I also take a paper towel and get it really dry and it just it comes out a lot like regular chicken it’s just so

Convenient in the can and then I used about 1/4 cup of plain non-fat Greek yogurt I used about a tablespoon of the Deon mustard and then just kind of you know measuring with my heart with the seasonings and we’re just going to mix that up now I ended up adding just a

Little tiny bit more plain nonf Greek yogurt just because it was just a little bit dry and then I’m just going to add in some red onion and it depends on what I’m in the mood for what veggies I add in there now you know I had all these

Veggies left over and so I’m going going to use those up a little bit and then we have the green onion as well normally I put celery in this but I really did not see the need for the celery to actually get it out and chop it up if I have all

These other veggies in there now I know I just said I didn’t really like raw green onion I mean green pepper but it’s in there we can always pick it out right so there we go now the way I’m going to eat this is I’m just going to take a

Slice of bell pepper that’s why I have the red orange and yellow this is for dipping yummy it’s so good you just take a dip out of it and you eat it now I put this into the tracker as um three servings so this this is the nutrition

Facts for three servings of the chicken salad I have two new protein pudding recipes to try out so we’re going to use this Core Power strawberry now this is a little a little bit higher calorie and higher point but then we’re going to do two servings for this and it was the

Only strawberry shake that I could find so we went with it and then I have some of the sugar-free cheesecake Jello-O so I forgot I thought I was filming when I put everything into the bowl and I was not but I’ll show you when I do the

Other one so I just have um it all here in here the cheesecake the full thing of um the strawberry shake just poured in this container put it in the refrigerator and it’s done in like overnight the next next we’re going to make is an Oreo cheesecake so we have

The cookies and cream Premier Protein and then we have the sugar-free cheesecake Jell-O again and we’re using two tablespoons I don’t think I mentioned that earlier 2 tablespoons of the Jello-O pudding mix just the dry mix and then the full container of your protein shake so here we go now I’m

Filming I was not filming before when I did the strawberry one so we’re just do the entire container of your protein shake and you guys can come up with so many different VAR viations of this protein pudding it’s just the it’s just Limitless honestly so we have that full

Container in there 2 tablespoons of the dry mix again make sure you use the dry mix not the not don’t make it up and then you’re just going to either whisk it or you can use if you have one of these little whiskers I think they’re

The best to use these things um but you can whisk it also by hand whisking it so we’re just going to mix that up poured into our container and like I said it only takes actually a few hours for this to set up but I just put it in overnight

Um what you see on the screen is for two servings like I said and I add a little bit of sugar-free whipped topping sometimes add on some fruit on top and we have a yummy U protein pudding another thing I prepped this week was just to make some cold brew coffee so I

Dusted off my old cold brew maker which this is not my favorite but I may like get a new one I’ve been hearing some great things about a couple other ones I’ve seen but I’m going to make this cinnamon vanilla because I’m using my vanilla latte protein shakes this week

So I’m just going to go ahead and do that and then lastly my turkey K chili is still cooking but I just wanted to show you what it looks like so I can go ahead and start editing this video um I’m going to show you the nutrition

Facts here on the screen for just zero points on WW 307 calories you guys so much protein and what I’m going to do is serve it with these good thins corn chips it’s so good with these and you can have like 41 of these corn chips for

Four points and I just like to dip them in my chili and it’s yummy and ready to go so thank you guys as always for taking time out of your day to click on my videos and watch them I hope these give you some really great ideas for
