Healthy & Easy Meal Prep on a Budget UNDER £20 **weight loss**

Hi guys, welcome back to another video. I hope you're doing really good. In today's one I am going to be doing a huge meal prep video. I'm going to show you some meal ideas, breakfast, lunch, dinner for like during the week, super cheap on a budget and yeah I wanted to get straight into it. So the first meal is going to be overnight oat and aldee, then you're going to need some unsweetened almond milk or any milk of preference. I just quite like this one. Next we've got the protein. You don't have to use this but I quite like high protein breakfast so I am using cinnamon danish whey protein. Then these are toppings that obviously you can mix up. I just like cashew nuts, chia seeds and some chopped apple. I try all my foods as well so that is why I've got the scales. I would recommend you doing the same if you are packing meals just so you know exactly what you're consuming and making and you can make an even mix. So I'm using 40 grams of oats and I'm just doing it in each container. Obviously you could do it in like a bulk bowl or whatever but I just find this the most easiest. Then I am pouring 700 millilitres of almond milk into this pouring container and basically the sugar, it's usually like a two by one kind of ratio so that would work out 500 millilitres of milk but obviously I'm adding the protein powder and I quite like my oat consistency to be on like a bit more of like the watery kind of side but not too watery don't get me wrong. So it works out about 140 millilitres of milk in each oat and then obviously I'll be adding the protein but obviously if you're not adding protein it'd just be about 500 millilitres but 700 with the protein. So that's one scoop of whey protein and that is 75 grams of the protein powder which is like 15 grams of protein in each portion size which is a really good protein meal and so yeah and also I'm doing four, I'm doing five portions of the oats. I was quite limited for plastic containment when I was prepping this. This has got to be the most satisfying bit just swirling it all round. Then I'm just pouring 140 millilitres of the milk into each oat portion. It comes out so quick when you're weighing it on but we got there eventually. Then next I'm going in with the toppings. I am topping in about a teaspoon of chia seeds on each portion. It works out like two grams and this is just like optional. I absolutely love these little seeds. I personally don't add like my nuts and chopped apple until I'm actually eating it just because it goes really soggy you know if you're leaving it in the fridge for a few days and I just prefer it fresh. Here is the zero sugar they've basically got nothing in them just other than a few sweeteners and I put a tiny little drop in each. This makes such a big difference like tastes absolutely amazing but yeah don't go too crazy because it is really strong and then I just mix them all together and pop them in the fridge. Remember as well you can add so many different little toppings like you could add pumpkin seeds, cacao nibs like cacao powder and just whatever you fancy really and it does make a lot of difference and really really does add to the taste and stuff. Then I'm just popping the lids on all of these. Like I say you can pop them in the fridge or freezer, you can microwave them, have them warm, have them cold. I personally really like them cold actually and then I just thought I'd show you here I am chopping up my apple. This is one of my favorite toppings. Apple is one of my favorite fruit as well but yeah just chopping it into like fine bits and putting like about half an apple on each portion size and yeah just thought I'd show you but like I say you can put like berries on there whatever you fancy and then I'm just topping it with some ground cinnamon. Again this makes all the difference like it is the little things that don't have like they're not high calorie or anything that make all the difference also makes it look a bit nicer presentation wise too and then I'm topping it with some cashew nuts and I don't use that many of these but yeah I use about four grams so I'll put the macros on the screen like including my toppings is one of my absolute favorites which is a breakfast muffin and that includes turkey rashers and eggs like egg whites and a few eggs and this absolutely like tastes pretty much exactly the same as the McDonald's one but obviously it's not with bacon or cheese but tastes absolutely real the macros are amazing and is one of my go-to breakfast or lunch at the moment so you've got to try this recipe sure these are seriously like my absolute favorites at the moment get some tinfoil and just pop that in like an oven tray and just put out the turkey rashers there were actually seven in this counting they're actually seven rashers and it's supposed to be six so we've got just pop them on there and make sure the oven's on pop them in the oven for about like 10-15 minutes just keep sort of keeping an eye on them and having a look then you're going to need eight eggs so I'm using four full eggs and then four whites of the eggs it would be better to just actually buy some egg whites but yeah we're rolling with it and so again using the container and just cracking them on in there so it works out about like in each portion one egg and one white and then just mixing that all around this is the best little hack I've found actually it tastes so good they're like little egg brown egg hash browns then I'm using some vitacoco coconut oil or you could use like butter or whatever like fat you use but I use this one and just using a really small amount about two grams and line in the tray make sure you do this as well because otherwise it just completely ruins the egg and you can't get the like the egg off I tried that to start with but I guess you could also use like baking paper or again like tinfoil on the bottom and of course I've already put the turkey rashers in the oven so I do this last you've really got to keep your eye on this because it can go zero to 100 in absolutely no time at all and you can end up either frazzling the egg or just in the cooker in it so yeah cooking it so here we go putting that in the oven I put it on like the bottom layer in the oven that's what we're going with then whilst we're waiting for the turkey rashers and egg I'm going in with the muffins I keep calling them muffins sorry the egg muffins we're not talking about McDonald's and this is an unusual one but yeah just cutting them in half then I'm using the lighter than light mayo this has literally again got nothing but tastes so good like super super low calorie um because that's where you can go wrong quite often like with sauces if you are tracking your macros or you're cutting trying to lose body fat it can be so easy to bump your calories up with like tomato sauce and stuff so yeah this is really good and I'm using three each side so I'm using this rather than butter then I'm popping them on a frying pan I don't actually have any like fat or anything on the frying pan I'm just popping them like face side with the mayo on and just kind of toasting them on here making sure they go to like a crispy brown I sometimes do burn them doing this but yeah just it doesn't take long at all I quite like my bread like not super toasted um but that's just my preference I guess and yeah just flipping them over and obviously there's eight of them so yeah just like take it in turn and they're lovely and crispy brown so that is those done and so is the eggs I've just pulled that out that is like the perfect way how I wanted to do my eggs um and then next up obviously I'm just like proportioning everything I'm using some baking paper to wrap the muffins this just keeps you know like them not going soggy or whatever in the tin in the plastic container if you are putting it in the fridge or whatever but you could just use whatever you've got in I like to just make do and then I'm just preparing each bun this is my satisfying bit I'm putting about one and like a bit of because we had like some extra rations and again I'll pop the macros on the screen but you'll be really surprised that when you eat this honestly it tastes absolutely amazing eating well and healthy like does not have to be like just tasting like crap like eating salad it really doesn't and these recipes are so good and tasty I promise I did want to do these in like a circle motion but I'm just going with the square and like cutting it in half um but yeah just going down straight down the middle and obviously it's like four portions but you could easily make more of this if you wanted to do like a full seven days um but yeah I like to just do like four or five days of meal prep and I just find the food a bit fresher but yeah that's just personal preference that's a big slab it looks like the most delicious omelette you've ever seen and yeah just popping it in half and folding it over so we can actually like shut the muffin tight look at that wow that is literally identical to an egg muffin from McDonald's um but yeah and then I'm just wrapping it in baking powder powder the baking paper for god's sake and um I didn't have anything to like tighten it with so you just kind of press it into the container and then pop the lid on so next up is going to be a chicken dish you're going to need the coconut oil need some chicken breast it can be chopped or diced whatever um and paprika as well as some curry powder or whatever seasonings you like and just and lastly some green beans this is the quickest and easiest evening meal or like for lunch even um so I'm just starting off with chopping some sweet potatoes again you can chop these in like circles I just like to season with like kind of like big fat fries I want to say so I season my sweet potatoes by literally just using some seasoning um I like putting some paprika it really adds a little kick to and just sprinkling a little bit on top not much you could put oil but I personally don't think they really need it um and yeah and making sure your oven's on a high heat before putting them in the oven this generally takes like depends on that your oven as well but about between 30 and 40 minutes I'd say um but again you just you just see you know have a look some people prefer them crispier than others I I don't really mind mine but I'm on I like mine quite soft and then you're going to want to boil the kettle and put some hot water into a pan this is for your green veggies and I think just pile in as many veggies as you can um this is super quick but I think we all could definitely do with like more greens in our diet I know I'm guilty to this so yeah I'm just putting a full portion of the green beans in these are really delicious as well I really like these and I'm just cooking them for about between 7 and 10 minutes and I always like to put the little steam lid on top I think that just keeps things in I've always been taught to do that as well like when I was growing up I remember I always have like a lid on stuff and then we're going back to the frying pan and we are getting some Vita Cocoa and I'm using about a teaspoon of Vita Coconut Oil this is to cook the chicken in you definitely need to have like some fat um I hate to call it that some sort of like grease whether it's sunflower oil or like olive oil that do the job and then I'm just putting in the full portion of chicken make sure you've got quite a big pan for this because you're not trying to use a smaller one and it just doesn't fit in and ends up falling out and like sticking all over your clothes and I'm going in with the curry powder I use like a hot curry powder but it is actually really mild I'm just sprinkling that over the chicken I absolutely love anything like curry sauce I just think it tastes unreal and then I'm also using paprika these are just like my go-to seasonings and that is the chicken cooked I've portioned that into each container and I've put 120 grams of chicken in each container and again this is just like personal preference and then I'm also weighing out the green beans and I'm putting in 49 grams of green beans in each one this is quite a big I like this portion size it always fills me up so the sweet potatoes are done and I'm getting ready and in each portion size I am popping in 120 grams of sweet potato in each one I absolutely love sweet potato it's full of vitamins and so that is left over obviously you could just use that throughout the week or like add more to it just dependent on like what you're eating and everything so here is my finished meal prep I really hope you enjoyed this video these are honestly some of my favourite meals they're so quick and easy it doesn't have to be complicated and I absolutely love the overnight oats they're so tasty and you can add so much into them you know eating clean eating well doesn't have to be
