NEW FOOD PREP | BLACK BEAN SALSA | EGG SALAD & MORE! | WEIGHT WATCHERS POINTS & CALORIES

This week I’m sharing a food prep instead of my normal meal prep. The difference in this one is I’m just throwing together different things we can mix and match throughout the week rather than prepping actual individual meals for my husband and I. Thanks so much for watching! I hope you enjoy this video!

WW Weight Watchers points and calories included!

RECIPE LINKS
BLACK BEAN SALSA
https://planningushealthy.com/blog/f/black-bean-salsa
Modifications – In the above recipe, I only used one can of beans and one avocado. However, I’ve been making this with an added can of beans (I used cannelini today) and usually two avocados. That increases the points to 3 per serving and 191 calories per serving.

EGG SALAD – 3 WW Points / 186 calories per serving (serves 3)
6 hard-boiled eggs
3 Tbsp light mayo
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp green olives
salt & pepper
Mix all ingredients well and enjoy.

Hi everyone it’s Christy welcome to another video this week I have something a little bit different for you rather than a big meal prep that I’m doing I’m just kind of doing like a food prep where I’m just making a few things just to have throughout the week I actually

Wasn’t even going to share this video I kind of debated about it but I know a lot of you ask what do I do on weeks that I don’t actually do a full meal prep so I thought I’d just take you along this should be a fairly quick

Video These are really easy recipes to throw together so if you’re new here on my channel I do share weight watch your coins and I also share calories as well also any of the recipes I share will be linked down in the description box below

As well as links to some of the items that I use so now let’s jump right into this week’s video so the first thing I’m going to do is get my eggs cooking I am going to be making egg salad so I’m going to cook my

Eggs in the instant pot I love making eggs in the instant pot they just cook so perfect every single time and they peel really good so I’m going to be putting seven eggs in here I’m actually just going to be using six eggs for the egg salad so I’ll just have one

Hard-boiled egg that I’ll eat so I have one cup of water down in the bottom of the instant pot and then I’ve got my eggs there on a little trivet I’m going to put my little Nelson steam diverter on here he’s so cool so I’m going to

Cook these on high pressure for 7 minutes and then I’m going to do a quick release when they’re done so while the eggs are cooking I’m going to start on my Black Bean Salsa I’ve heard this called so many things I’ve heard it black bean salad three

Bean salad depending on how many beans you use I’ve heard it called Cowboy Caviar lots of different things but I call it Black Bean Salsa so you can really kind of make this your own you can put whatever type of beans in it you can some people use canned tomatoes some

People use whole tomatoes so just completely up to you but I’m going to share with you the way that I make it so the first thing I want to do is rinse my beans I have a can of calini beans a can of black beans and a can of corn corn I

Typically use two cans of black beans but I was all out I just had one can so I just subbed one of them for calini beans and then the recipe calls for tomatoes that you peel like you use two tomatoes and peel them yourself I didn’t feel like peeling tomatoes so I’m just

Using these uh whole peeled tomatoes that I get from Thrive Market I’ve just rinsed them to get some of that tomato sauce off of there and then just chop them up and actually with the tomatoes I ended up adding two more Tomatoes here towards the end you’ll see that I add a

Little bit more tomato but completely up to you how much of everything you want to use and then I’m just chopping up a red onion so I’ve got a pretty large onion here so I just ended up using half of it but normally I would use like a

Full small onion next I’m going to add avocado I usually put two whole avocados in it but I only had one and a half so that’s what I’m using so I’m just cutting those up and putting that in there you’ll see I have a half an

Avocado in a mason jar usually I use my little food Huggers they’re just food Huggers that they just they’re like silicone things that go around and I have one for an avocado but I had just read recently that you can actually store it in a mason jar put the top on

There and this has been in there for about 24 hours and as you can see it still looks really good so I’ll probably be using the mason jars more next I’m going to cut up some cilantro and I’ve mentioned several times in my household we are opposite I

Love cilantro I think it gives it such a nice fresh flavor my husband though got hit with that Jean that makes it taste like soap so let me know did you get my husband’s Jean or do you love cilantro like I do so now I’m just letting the

Steam out so as you can see all this diverter does is it just diverts the steam to the side instead of going up under your cabinets so now I’m going to put my eggs in a quick ice bath which as you can see I don’t have ice in here my

Freezer uh my ice maker on my freezer is broke right now so I’ve just got a couple ice packs in there and that’s totally fine because it’s not going in there with the eggs I’m going to be peeling my eggs anyway and while my eggs are cooling I’m going to get back to

Working on the Black Bean Salsa so now I’m going to add all the beans and corn to my Bowl here and as you can see I have quite a bit in there so I’m just going to transfer it to a larger Bowl so I have more room to stir so now I’m just

Adding some salt and pepper and then I’m going to add in some lime juice now you’re going to see here that I only add 2 tablespoons of lime juice but it actually caed for a/4 of a cup so off camera I ended up adding two more I

Don’t know what I was thinking when I made it I knew it it’s 2 tspoons of olive oil and I was thinking it was the same amount of lime juice but it’s not and if you have regular limes the regular fresh lime juice does taste

Better but if you don’t have it you can just use the kind like I used so then I’m adding in 2 tbspoon of extra virgin olive oil and also 1 tbspoon of red wine vinegar and then just give that all a good stir and then I’m going to add in

Like I said I’m going to add in two more tomatoes and then just stir that up and then I’ll just store that in my fridge now you can have this however you want a lot of people eat these eat this like as a salsa with t uh tortilla chips but

Honestly I just like it plain by itself I’ll usually have like a half a cup of it with as a side dish to lunch or sometimes I’ll just have this as my lunch and maybe add some protein on the side with it definitely something you can kind of mix and match sometimes I’ll

Just open my fridge and grab a little bit just to snack on if I get a little bit hungry throughout the day okay so now while my eggs finished cooling I’m going to put together my egg salad so in a bowl here I’m just adding 3 tbspoon of

Light mayonnaise I just use the helman’s light mayonnaise but feel free to use whatever kind of mayonnaise you want and and if you don’t even want to loose use light you can use regular I’ll put the points and calories up that are using it exactly with the brands that I use but

Like I always say make sure to put it in your own tracker because all the brands can be different so I have 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise in there and then I’m going to add about a teaspoon of Dijon mustard which I actually end up adding about another teaspoon here later in the

Video you’ll see I added some to it I like mine kind of chunky so if you like it creamy you can add more mayonnaise I’m also going to be adding some green olives to mine it this just gives it so much good flavor I love green olives in

Both tuna fish and in egg salad they’re really good but I’m not going to add those until after I get the eggs and everything in there that way I can kind of gauge and see exactly how much I’m putting in there so I’m going to add in

Just some salt and pepper which honestly had I thought of it ahead of time I would say skip the salt and the next time I make this I’ll skip skip the salt because there is plenty enough salt in the oliv so definitely really don’t need

The salt in it so now my eggs are cooled down and I’m going to get these peeled and I’m just showing you here how easy these are to peel and actually honestly this first one gave me a little bit more trouble than the rest of them and as you

Can see there’s really no trouble I mean it just peeled right off but the rest of them were like I cracked them in the middle and it just came right apart so I’m also going to cut it open though just so you can see what the 7 minutes

On high pressure does so like I said I like mine hardboiled but if you like a more of a soft boil you can do anywhere from like 3 minutes to 7 Minutes in the instant pot 3 minutes would be the softest boil and then 7 Minutes

Hardboiled so I’m just going to get the rest of these peeled up and then I’m just going to mash them up and mix it all together and then I’m going to add another about another teaspoon of the djon mustard and then also the green olives you can also add other things

Like I’ve added bacon to this before sometimes I’ll put a little dash of vinegar in there if I want to give it more of like a devil egg flavor I’ll add a little bit of vinegar and then I usually will just eat this plain honestly sometimes I’ll put it like in a

Little Wellness wrap like a high fiber Wellness wrap sometimes I’ll put it on bread just depends on my mood but pretty much I’d say 90% of the time I just put it in a little bowl and I just eat it with a spoon I just love it plain so a

Lot of times what I’ll do is I’ll instead of egg salad for lunch I will eat the egg salad as my breakfast all right next I’m going to roast some vegetables so I’ve got some two trays here that I have aluminum foil down on and I’ve sprayed them with some cooking

Spray on one tray I have broccoli and on the other one I have zucchini and also it’s just one zucchini and then a bag of Brussels sprouts and then I’m just going to put some salt and pepper on those and drizzle it with extra virgin olive oil

And these will go in the oven 425° for about 20 20 minutes usually when I prep these ahead of time I do 20 minutes because I’m going to be cooking them in the microwave as well if I were to have these right after I made them I’d

Probably maybe roast them for about 25 minutes I just like mine really roasted but completely up to you how how you do them and then when they’re done I’ll just put them in meal prep containers sometimes I’ll eat them with breakfast I love vegetables with breakfast I

Actually eat vegetables any time of the day to be honest so I’ll put the broccoli in one meal prep container and then the zucchini and Brussels sprouts in another and then like I said those will just go in my fridge and I can use them for whenever I want throughout the

Week so now I’m just going to bake some chicken I have a pan that I’ve lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with cooking spray I’m just using these just bare lightly breaded chicken breast strips for this week for these you can have two of them or 93 G for 5 Points or

170 calories and normally what I do is air fry these when I have these but for this week since my oven is already on I decided to just go ahead and bake them in the oven they actually cook good both ways so I get this great big bag from

Sam’s Club but if you have if you live in the south and you have a Publix near you you can get them from Publix as well although Sam’s Club they’re definitely cheaper than Publix and one thing about these is they are really good if you make uh like a homemade KFC Bowl these

Work out perfect for those you can just make them cut them into bite-sized pieces and then make yourself some corn and some mashed potatoes top it with the chicken and then drizzle it with some gravy we’ve had these with that and it works out really well but honestly these

Were work real well with just a regular like Caesar salad or some type of lettuce salad and just put these over top so these are just great to have in your fridge if you don’t have time to make you know like some homemade chicken and that’s it like I said I’ll just put

This cover this bowl put it in my fridge and then I can mix and match for lunch I can have some of these with the vegetables or whatever however I want to mix and match throughout the week so that’s my little food prep for this week again nothing fancy but just kind of

Some things that you can throw just throw together to have in your fridge now a lot of times usually what I do when I food prep is I will put together some proteins as well but this week for proteins we have one night we’re having salmon one night we’re doing a shrimp

Meal and one night we’re doing scallop so there really wasn’t many proteins that I needed to prep for this week so I hope you enjoyed this video if you did make sure to give it a thumbs up thank you all so much for watching and I’ll see you in my next one
