Meal Prep for my husband and I for three days! WW Weight Watchers points and calories included! Meal prepping is such a big help for me on my health journey. It takes the stress out of wondering what to have during the week. I only prep three days though – there are days where I just feel like something different, so this allows for that moderation. Thanks so much for watching! I hope you enjoy this video!

Hi everyone it’s Christy welcome to another meal prep video I wanted to get on here real quick because today’s me meal prep is going to be a little bit different in that I am only making our lunches for breakfast this week I’m probably just going to be doing like
Cottage cheese bowls or uh smoothie bowls basically just yogurt and some fruit and maybe some nuts or something either cottage cheese or or the yogurt one or the other uh so that’s all I’m going to be doing for breakfast this week so there’s really no prepping that
I need to do with that but for lunch it has been chili here in Florida so a few weeks ago I did the chicken I think what is it called taco chicken chili and this time I’m just doing my regular Hardy chili I love this chili the good thing
With this you can make it your own put any spices in you want I know one person had commented one time that she had tried it and she really needed to add some cumin I’m not really a huge fan of cumin so cumin cumin how do you
Pronounce that I’m not a fan of that so I don’t usually add too much but please feel free to make this your own so that’s what’s on the menu this week for lunches if you’re new to my channel I follow the Weight Watchers program so I
Do share the Weight Watcher points but I also try to give calories as well as always all the recipes I share will be linked down in the description box below as well as some of the items that I use such as my meal prep containers and
Things like that I try to put links for those as well also if you’re new I’d love for you to hit that subscribe button and be a part of the planning as healthy family so now let’s jump into this week’s MEK prep I absolutely love this chil we usually
Have it like maybe October this year we just haven’t had really a cold front it come through until now so I’m going to get all my vegetables chopped up so usually I like to chop my vegetables by hand but when I’m making chili I do like the onions and peppers really really
Small so I use my little Chef’s rival it’s called I’ll show you the box but I don’t even know if they have the same anymore this is really old and my mother-in-law actually gifted this to me I’ve had it for a very long time it’s actually falling apart but it’s just a
Manual Chopper so I’m just using that to chop up all my vegetables so for this recipe you need one large onion a green bell pepper a yellow bell pepper and an orange bell pepper but use whatever Peppers you have on hand so I’m just setting them aside into this aluminum
Pan while I’m cooking my burger so I’ve got the onion and the orange pepper in here and then I’m going to do the same thing with the yellow and green Pepper this calls for 3 lb of 96% lean ground beef for the points and calories on this that lean ground beef can add up so something I have done especially when I cook in bulk like this is just take any kind of ground beef I cook the
Ground beef and I rinse it and basically call it 96% lean so what I do is just take a bowl and I just drain as much of the grease out as I can then I put a big a large bowl down in the bottom of my
Sink you want to make sure you don’t get any of that grease down your sink so I just kind of use that to catch any of the grease water I just rinse off the meat and then I just let that grease water Harden and throw that away later
And I call it 96% lean now whether you’re supposed to do that or not that’s just the way I do it so as I always say you do you so I’ve taken my instant pot insert and I’m just going to use this to heat
It I’m going to put it on the slow cook function but you can cook it on the stove however you want so I put my meat in here I added 1 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of pepper and 3 tbspoon of garlic and I’m just going to mix that up
And then I’m going to add everything to this so now I’m going to use that same pan that I used the meat to cook the peppers and I’m I’m not going to add any oil I just basically left what was in there for oil from the rinse and the meat now for
This time I have chosen to cook my onions and peppers first that’s completely up to you especially if you’re using a slow cooker you can just put them in there I do like mine to be cooked more also you could just cook them right in with the ground beef if I
Was using the 96% lean ground beef I would just cook them all together but since I was rinsing the meat I didn’t want to lose the flavor of it so that’s why I’m cooking them separate to that I’m going to add my onions and peppers which just got done cooking and
Are still very hot mix those all up now one thing to know about us we like a lot of beans in our chili so in here I have four cans of beans you can use whatever cans of beans you want I use two cans of white canini beans and
Then I use one can of dark kidney beans and one can of light kidney beans and I drained and rinsed them this time sometimes I just pour them in there but I decided this time I’m going to drain and rinse them and also for my diced
Tomatoes we like lots of Kake in our chili so I use the diced tomatoes with green chilies I use three cans of these I also add in 28 oz of crushed tomatoes and also some tomato sauce but the amount that I use it just depends I use
Anywhere from a cup to a whole can now I’m adding 3 tbsp of werer and my 4 tbsp of chili powder and then I also add hot sauce if you don’t like it that hot you don’t have to add that hot sauce so now
I’m going to slow cook this on low for 4 hours now if you like chili plain you can certainly leave it plain we like to chop up some green onion put that on it and also just a little bit of Mexican cheese and some sour cream and when you
Stir in that sour cream it makes the chili so creamy and depending on the heat of it sometimes we’ll even add a little bit more hot sauce so now I’ve got my meal prep containers I’m going to use my little containers that I get from the Dollar Tree for the sour cream and
The cheese and green onion so I’ve got the sour cream in one and in the other one I’m putting about e/ of a cup of reduced fat Mexican cheese in it and then I’m going to put just throw the green onions on top of that so this usually makes about 18 servings the
Number of servings you get is going to completely depend on how big your peppers are how much tomato sauce you use how much Tomatoes you use the size of your beans I mean everything factors into that so I average about 18 servings on my website the serving size is 1 cup
And it’s 187 calories 20 g of protein and two points but I’m using 1 and 1/2 cup servings because y’all know I’m trying to increase my protein and I shoot for about 30 g of protein in each meal so by doing 1 and 1/2 cups that’ll
Bring the protein protein up to 30 G and then it’ll bring the calories to about 280 and the points will be three and then of course whatever toppings you use you’ll have to add that as well so that’s my award-winning Hardy chili and the reason I call it award winning is
Because I actually won a chili cook off contest and I won first place three years in a row so since I make a huge batch of chili this is what I’m going to do I’m going to freeze them in these super cubes I love these you can use
These for soup chili whatever they’s silicone and they have marks in here for 1 cup half a cup so with chili I always do 1 cup so since we’re having the chili for dinner tonight and then we’re having it for meal prep for three of the next 5
Days we are not going to want it for dinner any other night so anything that’s left I’m just going to fill these and freeze it and then we’ll have it for another day so usually what I do is I freeze these and then I take each individual portion out and put it in
Freezer bags like just regular freezer bags and then that way I can use these for something else so like I said just a quick meal prep this week let me know in the comments if you try this recipe and what you think of it make sure to give
The video a thumbs up any comments down below thank you all so much for watching and I’ll see you in my next One
