INSANE Meal Prep Anyone Can Do (even in college)
This video is about cooking food that is simple, easy, while healthy. There is a little bit of an upfront investment but I think it is more than worth it. I will cook this once a semester and have food for roughly 3 months.
Recipe for 1 standard-size crock pot:
3 lbs. of ground beef
1 and 3/4 Cups of lentils
5 and 1/4 Cups of water
3/4 Cups of Plain Greek Yogurt or 1 serving
1/2 cup of peanut butter (or other nut butter)
Drizzle of Olive Oil
Add ins:
1 squash
1 zucchini
1 onion
7 tbs of minced garlic
3.5 tbs of ginger paste
A few mushrooms
1 can of tomatoes
14 tbs. or 0.88 cups tomato paste
Spices:
7 tsp. curry powder
7 tsp. of smoked paprika
3.5 tsp. of cinnamon
3.5 tsp. of cumin
Salt
Pepper
7 tbs of oregano
Any of these ratios can be played with but this is how I do it. Make it yours and adapt.
