As someone who is blind who cooks, I want to thank you so much, for listing how much of each ingredient we need when you’re talking about your recipes. That makes my life so much easier! So thank you again

Giiiirrrtl I didn’t even realize that this video was 25 minutes, I was so intrigued the entire time

[BouncyBrown]

In addition to your wonderful recipes, I always appreciate your calm, relaxed demeanor. So many YT videos are frenetic and over the top. It's a refreshing change of pace!

I'd love to see some cheap/budget meal prep ideas for low-income families or university students!

I spent the entire Sunday afternoon prepping all of this. It was A LOT of work..BUT during the week it made it super easy! I'm grateful because today is Wednesday and I'm not bored with the options. One thing was the crackers were a bit difficult to make and wasn't crazy about the end results, but everything else was great. M fav is the spirialized sweet potatoes with aoili sauce. Delish!

I just wanna say that I cannot even imagine how much work this video has meant to you, but I want you to know that it is the MOST helpful and my favorite type of video because I learn soo many tricks and ideas out of them. THANKS for your hard work! Happy Chinese New Year from a vegan follower living in Shanghai <3

Please please please more meal prep videos!! When I first subscribed at the beginning of the year, I watched every one of these videos that I could find all the way through. I completely meal prepped all of January (A first for me)! I don’t think I would have stayed with it if it weren’t for your videos!

I'm no stranger to the world of meal prepping - both my husband and I will spend an entire Sunday cooking. You've reminded me of the benefit to prepping even ingredients, such as chopped onion in a container on hand, I've been cooking since I was a small child and never thought of that (duh) so thank you!

[Mparty]

I love these meal preps so much better to prep ingredients that can be mix and match. Would love to see more. Thank You!

[phenixsful]

Am I the only one who keeps coming back to the meal pre videos over and over again ☺️
good Lisa! Thank you!

[melanysuarez]

Wow there's so much thought put into this video. And everything looks delicious!

[andreawallenberger]

The beet hummus, the seed crackers, pork, lentils, veggies, vinaigrettes... 😋 what a great episode. I will come back to this one and make these, for sure. 😊

[aleksandrakirillova]

OMG I love it! Finally, a healthy meal prep with pork! It seems like the rest of healthy/clean eating community is scared of this type of meat. Honestly, only eating chicken can get old sometimes, no matter how well it's cooked haha. Thank you very much!

[skyfd]

These are by far the best meal prep videos on youtube!!! Thanks for all the hard work and the PDF ❤️

[carrenolady]

I enjoy so much how in detail and well-timed your video is. I didn't feel rushed like with other YouTubers. thanks for creating quality content. I value your editing and all the beautiful and delicious recipes.

[ericadifranco]

These videos are my FAVORITE! I so appreciate the creativity in the foods you make, how you combine them and all those amazing camera angles! We know it's a labor of love, we appreciate all your hard work!

[MsSportychic]

Favorite videos you do!! You’ve change my way of thinking about meal prep! I used to always get sick of eating the same thing and then half of my meal prep would go to waste and I’d opt for take out. This has made it so much easier to stay on budget and stay healthy while I start my career!!

[brandont]

just subscribed! I am on my third week in bed recovering from a back injury and the idea of prepping food never occurred to me until I came across your videos. so pleased and excited to try your ideas when I am recovered! Thank you SO much!!

[laurieparente]

What I love most about your meal prep videos is how when all food is made you show the breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options to nourish you through the week w/o any room for boredom. You have a.true flair for making simple and healthy food very snazzy and delicious. Kudos to you. Always love more meal prep ideas😀 Hugs, Laurie
