On my website there are hundreds of meal prep, snack, and macro friendly dessert recipes that I have developed over the years. There are no targeted ads, no pointless life stories and endless scrolling to get to the ingredient list, just the recipes. I have a subscription based model where Gold Members have access to every recipe on the site, which is under $5/month with annual memberships. If that's not your thing, there is also a Silver level membership that is free for life, still ad free, and you get access to more than 40% of the recipes. Registering to become a member, whether that is a Gold or Silver (free) member, is the best way you can help support what I do. I appreciate all of you more than you know 😎

Your best work yet. Turning filthy dirt vitamins into neon yellow cheese sauce is genius-level alchemy.

Josh, I’m not exaggerating when I say this: You have literally changed my life. I had heard about meal prep in the past and always thought that it was just for pro athletes or it had to be from an expensive company. Your channel opened up so many doors for me to incorporate lots of your meals into my daily routine. It’s helped me to eat better and more consistently than I have in years. I’m getting more shredded every day, and a huge part of that is because of you. Thank you so much for everything!

This was delicious! I added spices to the sauce: onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, pepper, mustard powder and a pinch of nutmeg.

I love that you include the cost to actually buy the ingredients separate from the cost of the recipe and cost per meal. I always roll my eyes when I see "$2.62 per serving" listed when I have to spend like $50-$60 on actually purchasable quantities.

I really enjoy the honesty this guy has. It really lets us relate to this man so much more

[rubendiaz]

Your disdain for broccoli is always hilarious 😂
I've been curious about a cheese sauce for meal prep, and I never knew or thought about pureed roast veggies as a base. That's level 10 sneaking

"And since parsley is a leafy green this mac and cheese is now a salad by definition". That is solid gold logic that I will carry with me for life 👌

Blend 4 jalapenos into this and it's gold. Smells and tastes better

[DJstarrfish]

I really appreciate this man's unbridled contempt for vegetables while also trying to hide them in every food, he's basically saying what all of us are thinking but won't say because "only small children complain about vegetables"

This was a fun recipe and actually pretty flexible when it came to adjusting flavors. I merried this as a base with a few components from some Ethan Chlebowski recipes and had no problem eating this everyday. Roasted poblano + smoked paprika + cumin one night gives a nice Mexican flair; adding pea pesto sauce w/ sun dried tomatoes was so nice I made it twice; and some parm + smoked bacon made for a quick weeknight chicken carbonara-inspired dish. A banger all-in-one recipe!

I cooked this for dinner today, it tasted absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe🙏

I just discovered your channel last week and I’m blown away by all the simple, healthy, economical and storable recipes you have. Those vacuum sealing bags are such a game changer. Our household has become avid followers of the church of Snack City and please keep up the great work and the amazing content!

[joelthepizzawizard]

Thanks for putting everything in grams!!! I switched it up a little bit: used Velveeta cheese (slightly lower calorie), threw in pickled jalapenos to the blender, used garlic chicken seasoning, used half the pasta water because the cheese is a little bit creamer and it turned out even better!

Josh is a real life saver. I had a horrible pattern of not wanting to cook because of the time to cook and cleaning everything, so I ate fast foods like every meal. I lost 45 pounds so far and my blood pressure back to normal with no meds and I'm freaking 23 lol. I meal prep 10 meals on Sunday and your vids are without a doubt a life saver for me

"As salads are leafy greens, this means this Mac and Cheese is a salad". Love it! Subscribed!

[djlf]

just made this, it turned out fantastic and honestly a lot better than i expected. really hit that mac and cheese craving on the nose. my only critique would be the amount of carrot, just comes through a bit too much and makes it a bit sweet for me personally. will definitely be making this again, next time i'll probably mess around with some cottage cheese to bring the calories down a bit. thank you for all the work you do, josh, your recipes have helped me drop around 30 pounds since january and maintain with ease.

I just tried this and it came out great! I modified the recipe a bit but it's not much different. I just tried to adjust everything to make more servings but doubled the cheese, a lot more pasta, etc. I took the cheese to 16oz, noodles to 20oz, cauliflower 20oz, carrot 450g, 2 cups each of pasta water & milk, about 34oz chicken breast. I also roasted 4 large pitted jalapenos sliced in halves along with the veggies. I baked it at 350 for 15 minutes then broil for 10 minutes. This made 8 servings at 700 calories. Macros very similar but with a bit more fat. 58c 55p 25f.

It came out amazing, thank you for this recipe! I discovered your TikTok of this and finally made it after weeks. I'll definitely be make more of your recipes because I love how simple you make meal prepping.

I have just come across you as I'm learning about how to get in shape and cut. Yoir videos have opened my eyes to how to meal prep cheaply easily and effectively. Thank you!!! Your videos have made sure I'm not jist eating chicken and rice!!

i RARELY comment, but i felt compelled to after making this recipe.
So i've been trying out high protein/anabolic recipes lately. They have all sucked until this! Wow! I usually don't even like leftovers by my hubby and i have devoured this over a three-day period. U make Remington James and Coach Greg's recipes look and taste gross.

It doesn't quite taste like regular mac n cheese, but it is a delicious, cheesy pasta. I totally agreed with you about the pasta needing to be a smooth consistency.

I used protein pasta (they only had penne). I also added some turkey bacon as a topping as well as some franks red hot. DANGGGG sooo good.

I struggle slightly to reach my protein goals for the day, but this made it super easy.
I'll be trying more of your recipes soon, but for now THANK YOU!

[tylishabrantley]

I’m obsessed with this I made it for the second time today and I added pickled jalapeños next time I’ll add buffalo sauce !! Thank you so much for this meal prepping has helped me a lot when it comes down to trying to gain weight not wondering what to eat
