Kayla, great content! Most people aren't aware of keeping carrots in water - keeps them so hydrated & crunchy! I've read that vegetables are 35% less nutritious than just 10 years ago. Mainly due to the huge agri-farmers that don't do crop rotations. Let's continue to support our local farmers & farmers' markets! So sad most urban communities don't have access to local farmers.

I really should do a better job of cleaning my produce. I rarely do because I tell myself it boosts my immune system 😭.

My fridges aren't very organized or clean (shame on me) but every vegetable and fruit you find in them are clean and ready to eat. I usually pack my lunch for work in the morning and it's so much easier to just pick and pack whatever I want before going out. So helpful.

I'm so glad that you have gone over the cleaning of produce. I have been in the fields and there are times when someone needs to "use the restroom" and the portapotty is to far away or they just don't bother. They just go right there, in the field. It is not often that happens but why chance it.

I found this incredibly useful and inspiring. I am so surprised at washing the blueberries and then storing because I believed that shortened their edible life. Strawberries I have had consistently bad frig life, so definitely will give your techniques a try. Thanks for your great content!

I also split my fish and chicken into individual portions before freezing! Prevents me from having too many leftovers for one person :) I do like splitting my chicken breasts in half, creating two thin cutlets because it seems to cook faster and more evenly

I just rinse veggies and fruits with water and call it a day, but this video was so eye opening. Thanks for sharing!

[lillyhornbuckle]

Loved this video! It was so relatable to people who work and benefit from planning and meal prepping ❤️

[DanaHalpin]

LOL wait stop. I love how obsessed you are with the air tight containers!! Running to the store now to find some for my lettuce 🏃🏻‍♀️🥬

Definitely a game changer! I gave up on berries because everytime I would rinse them and then refrigerate, they would end up with mold shortly after! Will for sure try these out 🍓

Really enjoyed this! I need to food prep tomorrow so this came at the right time....next phase of 75 Hard starts tomorrow. (Love your shirt, hope you get to listen to more of their songs. Good stuff. )

[kikil]

Love this! Somehow you manage to make the stuff I would consider mundane super enjoyable to watch <3

[teaganvanalstyne]

[heatherwalters]

Hey girl! I went to Target last night and got a salad spinner and found the Rubbermaid containers in glass. Thanks for all the tips🥰

[dariellecyphers]

THIS IS GENIUS!! I am going to try this and hopefully it works for me.

[noellomax]

Thank you so much for the video. You really motivated me to get up and clean out the fridge

[caitlin]

OK SO MY QUESTION IS : How do you come back to your task at hand? like you wash your produce and then you come back to it... and actually cut them store them?! I have a hard time getting motivated and started with long task like laundry, organizing, remodeling my make up room (& its taking me months)... like its over whelming, do you have any tips for not procrastinating? do you experience being over whelmed like that then just walk away from whatever's staring you in the face? idk this video made me think and self reflect... sorry for rambling ... I hope you see this
