BUDGET MEAL PREP | healthy recipes under $3 (using high-quality ingredients)

Yes, you can meal prep healthy food even if you're on a budget! I'll show you how to meal prep 11 individual ingredients and turn those into 7 nutrient-dense, quick-assembly meals throughout the week. This is my tried-and-true method for getting healthy food on the table fast - and you can save money!

Unlike most budget meal prep videos that (let's be honest) use cheap quality ingredients, I don't sacrifice quality in this video. All of my ingredients are high-quality and/or organic ingredients. But if you opt to not use organic ingredients, the total price of your meals will be even less!

EEEK - I can't wait to hear what you guys think of this new meal prep video AND my new cookbook!! 🎉 And btw, I'm just over here having a little dance party in my kitchen this morning to celebrate my cookbook is *finally* available for preorder!! 🎉💃 xo - Lisa

I can't tell how much I appreciate your generous gift of TEACHING this kind of cooking. Many people eat out or eat processed food because they have not been taught the art of cooking nutritiously and thoughtfully. My husband used to ask me to create a NGO to teach impoverished populations how to cook and get them out of the cycle of processed foods and metabolic disease.

Tip for not Crying: Always refrigerate the onion prior to chopping it, this inhibits the gases to escape and will not make you cry. What I usually do is I always keep ONE onion in the refrigerator and the rest I store in my pantry in a cool dry place. Once I use the one in the refrigerator, I immediately replace it with a new one. This works for me every time. I hope it works for you. Thank you for this video and congratulations on your new book.

Please do more videos like this. 🙏🏽 I'm neurodivergent & this meal prep video & style makes real tangible sense to me. It's the road map I need. Thank you.

[forevereveru]

This is not a just budget friendly meal prep, this is also a beautiful and healthy vegetarian 🌱 (almost if you don’t count the tuna XD) meal prep isn’t it? ❤️ Thank you 😊 Lisa, this is going to be another huge hit!

White potatoes actually have about the same nutritional value as sweet potatoes. White potatoes have a bit more potassium, protein, and carbs, while sweet potatoes have more vitamins A and C, and have slightly fewer calories. The differences are pretty minor, so just go based on taste, budget, and dietary needs

[sabid]

Absolutely incredible! I cannot imagine how much time, effort and preparation it must have taken to put this video together, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful meal ideas ❤️

[kaseybutler]

I found out I have hasimotos thyroid disease and need to start clean eating to feel better. I am almost in tears at how helpful this is for me! Thank you so much for doing this.

This channel has changed my life in so many basic yet profound ways. (This is how I learn to properly hard boil an egg). She deserves every subscriber she gets. Thank you so very much for everything you do for us. Christ bless you!

[rachelanderson]

You are the first person I've actually followed through with cooking the recipes. Your recipes are always healthy so I don't have to feel guilty. Also, your recipes are so tasteful without being overwhelming to make. Very thankful for your channel and the recipes you have shared. My personal trainer sends me your recipes and that's how I found out about you. Thank you for wait you do. Can't wait to get your cookbook!

[rachelmckoskybennett]

Yes your earlier meal prep videos have millions of views. You know why? Because the content is forever useful and inspiring! Absolute solid, go-to ideas that have served us well for years. Gold!

[annate]

This absolutely exceeded my expectations. I never learned to cook so I am always overwhelmed by most recipes and give up before trying, on top of that I am a picky eater and usually can't find anything I like. Everything you presented here is extremely easy to prepare, the meals are varied enough that I can just leave out ingredients I don't like, and there is so much choice. Thank you!

[MzEllaful]

There's nothing better than a cookbook to accompany a video for those of us who struggle with cooking!

[jeniffernoa]

I’ve never clicked on anything so fast. Nursing school student here, been following you since early undergrad and kind of fell of the wagon. Back on now with this amazing video!

[samarqandshadybekova]

Really want to say I never saw such Elegant person preparing meals, slowing down while speaking, explaining, give aways, you are generous and amazing

[cpdnwvb]

What a blessing you are! I am 5 days into my 40 day fast with no sugar, grains, or dairy and these recipes are perfect. I am so excited to try them out!

you mentioned in this video that you cry while cutting onions. I have a trick for you that someone taught me last year. if you fill a bowl with water and set it right next to the cutting board while you cut the onion you wo t cry. There is some sort of reaction that happens when you cut the onion and if you have water close by it seems to be attracted to that instead of your eyes.

Thanks again for your amazing videos!

[dpnice]

I am retired so meal prep isn't exactly necessary for me as I enjoy spending time every evening to cook. But your videos are incredible and help enormously with ideas of what to eat. Being single I have to adapt them a little and living in France I may not find the same goods. But thank you for keeping this 71 yr old single gentleman interested in cooking.

I made the balsamic vinaigrette today. As soon as I tasted it, I said “wow” this is delicious!” I was amazed at how good it is. I can’t wait to get your cookbook.

[codedresilience]

Wow. I just got a multiple sclerosis diagnosis and I couldn’t be more grateful to come across your content 🙏🏼 Thank you

[briandaortega]

Okay but how are all her cooking dishes and oven completely spotless!? Looks as if no one has ever cooked there before and lord knows this woman has blessed us with hundreds of recipes in that very kitchen.

What do you
