Cooking healthy for the week is great, but I figured out a way to make your cooking/meal prep last the whole month.

We need like…a million more videos like this. Please make this a series!
Cant agree more! WE WANT MORE Josh!!! 😅🤩
ok you got it! I'll make it a series! Thanks for the suggestion Spencer!
Agreed!!
Really? He's already done versions of this already. Weismann has continued his slide downward into sh*t cooking videos.
Yes please !
I really like this new health meal prep series, I'd love to see a collaboration with Ethan Chlebowski.
@Steve Sherman says the boring guy commenting boring shit on every video lol
@@scsherman207 If you don't like the content just stop watching?
@@scsherman207 why is Chlebowski "not good" at cooking?
Ethan is top class!
@@Blitzbogen They are just people who cant comprehend stuff, Ethan is prob too science oriented so their little brains get confused.
Honestly the instant frozen-to-heated water bath method changed my life! I've been doing this with a sous vide for pasta sauces and curries for years, never have to worry about food going off or having to defrost in advance anymore. With the sous vide, you can set it and come back to it whenever you're ready! Awesome that it works for fried rice so well too!
Only downside is contamination from micro plastics by heating the food in plastic bags. But if you don't mind the health risk it's def a good method.
@@Chrisssssssssssssssssss no workaround?
@@Chrisssssssssssssssssssthere are tribes who invade bee hives for honeycomb, anyone complaining about micro plastics lives a very sheltered life
@@EwMuva No, it's okay to be concerned about the increasing realistic understanding we're having regarding the pervasivness of microplastics, the problems that microplastics can possibly cause (eg, in your poop tubes), and reduce putting them into ourselves if we'd like. Different problems. No need for appeals about comparative danger in different societies. You don't have to worry about them if you don't want to. Some people see some current research, and _would_ like to.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@mrahzzz like I said very sheltered life
Pro tip for the breakfast burritos: If you wrap them individually with baking paper instead (The one's you put in your over to bake something on) cut them to size, wrap them up in those and freeze 'em? It makes them microwave/oven friendly. You can just pop 'em into the microwave whenever needed to heat them up and not worry about the plastic wrap.
I wrap mine in foil then cryovac mine, freeze them, then sous vide them at 75 degrees Celsius for about an hour. Nice and hot all the way through, the wrap is soft with no overly hard bits from freezer burn.
@@skiddy1984that sounds… like something I would never make time for.
I wrap mine in nothing. Just stacked together in some tupperware. They break apart very easily once frozen. Pop it in the microwave for a minute, then grill on a pan.
as a former worker at one of the mentioned restaurants, yeah this is exactly how all of the soups and mac n' cheese were prepped. Big freeze bags that were semi-boiled to readiness. Some people would be disappointed if they heard that their food was frozen, but it still tasted pretty dang close to fresh!
so panera?
I worked at corner bakery cafe and that’s how we heated our soups lol but ppl loved them, I’m just like if only you knew😂. The chili was actually pretty good surprisingly.
I also worked there and remember once an entire bag of broccoli Cheddar burst somehow in the thermalizer and all of the water was disgusting and took forever to clean 😮 traumatized
Thank you for started a healthy meals series! My son has been overweight for a long time and has finally decided he wants to be healthier, he started going to the gym and I'm trying to do my best to make healthier meals that taste really good. I know your recipes are great since I've tried many of them (especially love the cookbook) so I can't wait to try these!!
W Mom
@@rhesasynmoie fr
Good luck to you and your son! Encourage him along the way and make sure he doesn't give up.
Thank you 😊 I appreciate the support...for some reason the app isn't showing the comment someone left saying I failed as a mom so I'm thankful that you guys are being sweet❤️
@@_Cambria_ I'm here to say you are an awesome mom for doing the best you can for your son,, gl to him and you in the journey ahead
I’ve been saying (maybe in my head only 😂) that I would love a “frozen but better” series where you try to recreate all the things people buy frozen but better. Burritos, pastas, casseroles, quiche, pizzas, whatever!
Another way to use the freezer is to prep ingredients and then use them from frozen when cooking. As an example- I keep pre-chopped veg in the freezer (celery, onions, bell pepper, zucchini, carrots, spinach, etc, as well as store-bought options like green beans, broccoli, and peas). Then, many dinners have a significant amount of chopping reduced, making them much faster to cook.
Also a great way to preserve excess garden produce for later!
I do this too! I group certain things together to make my meals even easier when it comes to soups or simple sides for a meal. Such a time saver🫶🏽
I do this with celery and carrots. They are such a pain in the ass to chop that I just chop tons at a time and throw the excess in the freezer. Takes like 70% of the effort out of making bolognese.
@Bikton Bloppa omg why have I never thought to do this with the left over celery?? Thank you for this tip. I usually only need like 2 stalks at a time
@@kamanda9886 Glad to help. Also its really convenient since celery is a right pain in the ass to chop. That way you can prepare the celery for maybe 2 or 3 batches of bolognese all at once and just grab it out of the freezer. You can do the same to carrots as well obviously.
I’m pregnant & due this summer, so this video couldn’t be more helpful for stocking my freezer!!! Thank you!!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW GL!!!!!! Have a nice labour :). Lol what if you named ur kid "Dietary coconut shrimp curry."
Also pregnant here, due in May. This video is perfect timing! Congrats on your little one
Getting pregnant is gay
@@imgonnacrumbohgod wth is wrong w/ u
Congrats! I’m due with #3 in October and finally have a big enough freezer to make freezer meals. I’m already compiling a list of meals and hopefully the freezer meals will be a game-changer for postpartum meals.
I’m really glad that you’re doing more healthy recipes & meal prep. I’ve really been slacking on both fronts in terms of what I can cook.
Hi Josh, longtime viewer since the beginning days and never commented. Wanted to say I’m really enjoying the healthy meals series. I hope you do more of these! I’m assuming your audience is probably around the same age range and we’re all getting to a point where we need to put healthier options into our body otherwise we feel it now 😂 regardless healthy is good too and shouldn’t always be bland and boring to eat!
Love this series man. I’ve really enjoyed sharing your more elaborate recipes with my wife, kids, family, etc. over the years. I’ve learned a lot about cooking and knocked the socks off of folks several times using techniques you’ve taught me. That said, diversifying is starting to turn your channel into a one stop shop for good eating for all occasions. Keep it up cause we appreciate it and congratulations on your success brother. Keep it weird.
I used coconut milk for your tikka massala recipe and it turned out perfect. It's a great alternative if you don't like classic cream (or don't have it on hand).
Lots of South Indian restaurants does the same people there loves coconut milk.
I read that Evaporated Milk is a good heavy cream substitute as well.
South Indian curries mostly use coconut milk as a base while North Indian curries mostly use a base of tomato with cream/cashew paste
@@vismay75 good to know
You can also use Greek or plain yogurt! I've seen it on many Indian recipes, and it adds an extra tang. Comes in clutch when I'm out of coconut milk.
The fact that this came just in time for Ramadan
True
This video was genuinely helpful for me. First time doing a full Ramadan
Just curiuous. How is this helpful in relation to the Ramadan? I know nothing, so please dont take it the wrong way :)
@@Bjorn_R in general, makes for easier food preparation.
@@Bjorn_R muslims fast for a night and then when the sun goes down they eat dinner, i don’t really know the reason but that’s what it is
For videos like these could we get a corresponding grocery list? That would be SO helpful. These videos are great, really appreciate all the help!!!
I don't think he does as everyone requires different macros based on there goals.
I appreciate the healthy make ahead focus. I work 10 hour days so I have to meal prep both breakfast and lunch for when I'm at work, plus my husband's breakfast and lunch. I'm always looking for something new that's also healthy. I'm definitely going to try a few of these out!
Don’t think Ive ever seen such a beautifully presented sandwich
Looks like italian flag
Love this, been trying to find some content like this and after years watching I am glad you made it. Its not just about cooking the meal but also storing and re-heating. Thank you Josh!
I love love love this whole video and structure!! Actual meals that look interesting and I can’t express just how much I love that you show how to heat them to not make them over cooked or taste sad. Please create a playlist with this meal planning structure 😍
It’s funny, with only two in my household I always make full size meals and have developed this technique years ago. Food waste in my house is insanely low and I am forever pulling something out of the freezer that was well thought out before I froze it. Everything is always really good and almost always indistinguishable from fresh. One thing I did invest in a few years ago is a Chamber Vac, it really upped my freezer game.
my husband and i love you. i have been intermittent fasting and trying to lose weight. i need something i can hit my protein and my calories and this just helped me SO much, i love all of this stuff. i love how achievable your recipes are.
I just was gonna start cleaning out the freezer section in my fridge, luckely we have a separate freezer in the shed... For me meal prepping is an essential thing to do witch I don't do much sadly. Time to turn the table and get going with it, in a family of 5 an occasionly 7 people to feed I finally accept the fact that it saves a ton of time. Thanks Josh !
videos like these are very useful, because its really about the Principle of how to store it, and the balance of ingredients. you can replace and substitute based on your needs, and portion out different sizes too, but knowing how much to cook it, to what stage and store is life changing!
I don't know why it never occured to me to freeze fried rice...When you just put leftovers in the fridge to have them the next day the rice is usually dry as the dessert. Definetly will give this a try :D
Seems you've never seen frozen meals with RICE in the grocery store then. I cook from scratch but have seen meals made with rices.
Well I mean you can put some ice cubes on top of your rice then microwave it and it’ll be pretty much textually the same
I also noticed that when a chicken fried rice is in the fridge for longer than 2-3 days the chicken starts to taste different.
@@chanfonseka8051fridge or freezer? In the fridge it goes bad very quickly to be honest
Good to see the hot water trick for reheating a few frozen things! I make and freeze soup and rice so I'm glad to see an easy way of thawing them w/o leaving them in my fridge overnight 👍
Long time fan - my wife and I have been talking about meal prepping more so this was a perfect video to check out! Thanks for all the great content - just bought your cook book as well!
A weekly or bi weekly meal prep series is something I'd love to watch
Love these recipes! On a bit of a health/fitness journey too so I feel your pain Josh. Can’t wait for the new cookbook!!!
You are one of the most practical cook, even-though you are a celeb category cook with cameras on you. Love watching the meal preparation series quote "practical cooking" much needed for daily life. Thank you Joshua ! 😎
I appreciate that he continues to use real ingredients and not a lot of “sugar free/low fat” etc. type items to make the macros seem better
Definitely excited for this one! I’ve been looking for some more healthy recipes. 😋
Your Healthy Videos are so helpfull. Thank you so much! It changed my whole eating habits. Please more :)
Thank you for these recipies and for the storage!! I would love to see more of this type of thing. ❤
Aaahhh this is exactly the type of meals I needed!!! I really really hope you turn this into a series
Loved this. Please do some More high protein meal prep/freezer meal videos. ❤️🙏🏻
This is a video that all mamas preparing for childbirth should watch. I remember myself cooking meals for postpartum to the freezer. Thank you for Your content!
I cook my own versions of about half of these meals, some of which inspired by Josh's already, in my cooking right now. Can't wait to try out these out. Feels like content lately has been perfect for me.
I truly love these videos! Really helpful and inspiring. It can be very overwhelming trying to eat healthy, but these videos are a great place to start and I love the different types of food that you make :) good luck on your fitness journey you got this 💪
Love the idea of freezer cooking, but always struggled with the changes in texture after re-heating/defrosting the food. I will absolutely have to try the hot water bath method and see how that helps! 😄
These all look so bomb, going to try this out for sure! Toasted Pine Nuts blended into the pesto would add tons of vitamins and increase your energy levels for getting those gains!! Also it helps thicken the sauce.
When the budget allows. Pine nuts are some of the most expensive. Even substituting cashews ain't cheap

I’m so glad you’re making this kind of content now! Really helping for my meal preps
Gotta love easy and Healthy ❤❤❤
Hey Josh, I would love it if you did an episode cooking meal ideas suited for diabetics. Figured it would be a good time to ask since you're on your health kick journey. Would be greatly appreciated! Love the videos.
Thanks for a very practical video! Bought a food vac sealer 2 years ago and been using it for freezer storing bulk packs of meat and fish as smaller portions (yeah, we had half a cow in the ice chest). It will get even more use to store prepared foods. Can't wait to explore more dishes from your awesome cookbook!
This is the best idea ever!! My freezer is stocked now. Thanks for the inspiration! Would love to see more sous vide, chamber sealer, and freezer meal recipes!
Very cool, "Josh"! Now make one for the whole year.
Did “Josh” do some unspeakable acts in the 90’s like “Schlatt” did?
@@brassbandit3060 schlatt on my nuts
I feel violently attacked with that stiff kitchen towel comment...
Health is wealth people! Thank you so much for these Josh! ❤️
Genuinely very practical lesson today. One that I can really seeing doing regularly. Please do more of these videos! Thank you.
Never realized you were dieting/cutting! One thing that helped me lean out was keeping track of your sodium, and having a fairly protein based diet. For sodium, I would try to keep a 1:1 ratio with your daily caloric intake, e.g. 2k calories/day should be no more than 2000mg sodium/day (less is better but 1:1 is also good). For your macros, my diet was centered around protein, with the amount of protein being a 1:1 ratio with your target bodyweight, e.g. 165lb. target bodyweight = 165g protein/day. Depending on how much of your macros that equals, your carbs/fats were 50/50 off of that remaining amount e.g. if your protein ended up being 40% of your macros, you'd do 40p/30c/30f or try to keep it somewhat close to that. I honestly never sweated the carbs/fats cause I couldn't cook well enough to meet a perfect split, I'd often settle for maintaining the 1:1 ratio between sodium/calorie and protein/target BW. I also always had one cheat day week, where I'd eat out with friends/family or order an entire bucket of KFC for the day, which nearly doubled what my daily caloric/sodium intake, but at a once a week interval, it hardly made a difference in my progress, and kept me motivated, as something to look forward to throughout the week. All of this is subjective though since everyone's bodies work differently, and not everyone may be on the same type of diet, but it could be some things to keep in mind when coming up with new healthy recipes! Keep up the good work as always man!
@Steve Sherman nothing crazy at all with this diet, it's fairly popular amongst powerlifters/bodybuilders to do low sodium/high protein intake diets, and I'm already aware not everyone diet should be the same, it's just things that helped me out during my cut, and anyone on this video scrolling thru the comments could possibly apply some of the info to their own diets/cooking.
These marcos and calories look sus.. especially the shrimp for 213calories when the rice alone is probably 200+ calories
Yeah, I think that macro count didn't include the rice, because it said 4g of carbs.
Delving into Asian cuisine did wonders for my healthy dinner lineup! Stir fries, curries, there's so many great flavors and it's easy to load up on veggies and still feel satisfied. I made teriyaki chicken and a veg stir fry last night that was THE BOMB and very reasonable in macros.
These healthy meal preps are so helpful! Each one looks so good! As a college student trying to stay healthy these all looks pretty simple and really tasty. ☺️👏
y’all outta control with heating plastic
I love you! You are hilarious and this is SOOO useful for me. I love when there is a detailed explanation for storing and reheating meals like this 😊
I love the info on how to store and reheat these. Very helpful!
Been a fan of yours for a while. I'm currently focusing on following the MIND diet (Mediterranean/DASH combo), and one of my biggest issues is overthinking meal prep. I've followed a few different recipe accounts on IG and KZhead, but all the recipes are mostly chicken or beef (red meat is seriously frowned upon on this diet) and that gets really boring really quickly. Long story short, I'm glad you're putting a focus on healthy meal prep, because your recipe vids are always super helpful for making quick, tasty, and most importantly, adventurous meals. Appreciate you, my guy.
Loving this healthy meal prep series!! Thank you!
I can't be the only guy on here thinking that you are going to singlehandedly save my relationship by teaching me how to be confident in the kitchen. Love your approach to every video my man. Thank you a thousand times over!
Josh I love this so much. Please consider doing a series of these, hell even do a freaking book on it - I'l be #1 on the pre-order list. Feel free to use a slow cooker too, I'm always starved for ideas on how to use that better.
I love you Josh. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Especially your healthy series. Keep it up.
I hope that you continue to do this meal prep ideas which are amazing for someone that don’t have enough time to do it ❤❤
I seldom comment but here it is. I’ve been through the whole deal of meal prep and weight loss journey some years ago when I was studying and really fell off the whole diet thing in the last couple of years. These meals are similar in many ways to what I used to do. For longevity I find the best thing is to try and incorporate variety. Say two different lunches and two different dinners a week, Sundays were cheat days/whatever I was craving days. These four options are ideal for this exact thing! If you make a healthy meal prep book I 100% would buy without a doubt these look great 👏👏👏
That Fried Rice just looks SO GOOD! Now I am hungry for an early lunch (just had breakfast) LOL! *Thank you again Joshua, can't wait for cook book #2! Happy cooking and Blessed Be!*
Please make more videos like these! More variety in prepping months worth of time-efficient, delicious, budget-friendly, healthy meals in advance 🙏🏻🥂😋🤸🏼♀️🥳
I have not long found your channel and all I can say is, you're so entertaining all the while teaching us how to make our food tastier and healthier. I am going to look at getting your cookbook. I just hope I can get it to New Zealand :)
You are the man who just keeps on giving. JOSHUA!! Thank you 🥰
this is really helpful and needs to be a series asap 😮☺️
I just started meal prepping breakfast burritos... best thing I ever started doing hands down. Bec, sec, chorizo egg and cheese. And made some biscuits as well. I love it condensed the whole hungry with kids thing into 5 minutes instead of 20 to 30 cooking
I would love more of these kinds of vids. My mom was just talking about how she should find some recipes for making homemade freezer meals since the brand she liked got rid of one of her favorites.
Loveeee this series. Thank you for keeping it up!
Stating clearly at the beginning of the recipe how many servings it is for is really helpful. Thanks!
Just made the breakfast burritos (minus the red bell pepper) and it tasted Amazing! The seasoning on the turkey has lots of flavor and with a little bit of salsa on the side this burrito was perfect.
MORE OF THIS!! i love these videos
Did u create this specifically for me right when I need it? You are the best man. Thank you.
Please please continue this with more ideas. You are great at it!
Thank you for this series, commenting to support!
thanks i am making these. this new health series is gr8 for my current diet
i usually have to speed up videos by 2x and im so glad to just enjoy your videos as they are! hella helpful info + delicious ass recipes!
Omg please make more of these freezer ones! Love this 👏🏼
Thanks for this! Please do more.
THIS IS WHAT I WATCH FOR! cant wait for your second cookbook josh.
This is so helpful and now my fave PLZ DO MORE OF THESE MACRO FRIENDLY VIDS
Love this new series! Please keep them coming❤❤
This is great! I try to do freezer meals anytime I make a meal that takes a long time, I make enough for 3 or 4 and freeze. We eat a lot of brown rice, and I always cook a lot and portion into freezer bags so I have it the next time I need it. I will definitely be trying some version of the sandwiches soon. Never thought of freezing them.
Love this series. More please 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Absolutely love this video! Definitely need more healthy meal prep meals
Huge fan of this serie! My man been watching you for a while but because of that serie, I had to start following! As a mom who also works full time and hits the gym consistently ; I NEED content like this!!! Your recipe ideas look simple, delicious and on point nutritionaly! BIG FAN of the conservation / reheating tips - thats my fav part of those videos! Cant thank you enough for this serie! ♥️🤤☺️💪🦵
This is a great idea for a person that’s on the go and has time to prep there meals so that they can simply reheat through out the week Fav one is the shrimp curry
The shrimp curry is brilliant, def trying that one, thanks! Loving this 'get shredded' healthy foods series. Carry on, YT food boo, carry on.
You are the absolute best, Joshua! And I'm here for it.
Every single food in here was delicious. Please do more of these.
More videos like this please!! Food prep, and how to store for a month?? Perf
Totally agree about needing more panini recipes! Yes please
I’ll be delivering my first baby next month and I will definitely be making some, if not ALL, of these recipes to have on hand in my freezer for postpartum.
Congrats. I hope you have a safe delivery 😊
Please make more videos like this!! This is so helpful
I love watching your videos and I will be getting your cookbook soon. 😊
Easy and healthy meals - my favourite so far!
More freezer healthy meals please!!!! This is an excellent resource!
Thanks for this. Many of this I didn't know. I have frozen my breakfast burritos and they are awesome in the morning, I just used the microwave. Thanks.
