- Munchies, if you've been watching this series
or follow me on Instagram then you'll already know
but I currently have a course out
that I have spent the last few months developing,
the Meal Prep Ignite course.
Oh my gosh, this is my baby.
You guys know how crazy I go for meal prep on Youtube.
All of you go crazy for it.
So you are really my inspiration here.
I can only share so much in a Youtube video each week.
So now everything you'll need to know
to meal prep efficiently and effectively for you
is in an entire course.
Never before seen videos, photos, text, recipes
and tons of credible tools to guide you
along your meal prep process.
We go through a lot.
It's a super comprehensive course
but the main thing I share is the system I've developed,
the Meal Prep Ignite system
which makes it easy for you to design
your meal prep every single week
without forgetting any of the details.
The course launched launched last Sunday, April 8th
and enrollment is limited.
It's only open for two weeks.
Do ya hear me?
That means you've only got six days left
and we're only gonna be opening enrollment
a few times a year.
So if you want it, head to mealprepignite.com now
to check it out.
To give you a taste and also share some fun tips
I've got eight meal prep hacks
to inspire your meal prepping journey.
One, let your slow cooker clean itself.
Scrubbing the slow cooker clean is so time consuming
but with some water, vinegar and baking soda
you can let it clean itself.
Just fill your slow cooker with water,
add vinegar and baking soda
and then cover and turn the slow cooker on low
for four hours or overnight.
After you let it cool
empty the cooker and rinse with soapy water.
No scrubbing needed.
I've got the full procedure for you.
That's in my Meal Prep Ignite course
in the description of the video, too,
for your reference.
Two-for-one slow cooker meals.
With a slow cooker liner and some foil
you can prep two slow cooker meals at once.
Just make a foil divider to fit your slow cooker
and then put the liner on top
and push it down into the two sides of the cooker.
You can either cook the two meals at once
or use this hack to heat up two meals at the same time.
And slow cooker liners make your clean up a breeze.
I'll link the ones I found online below.
One sheet pan, three different flavors of protein.
Cook multiple servings of the same protein
with different flavors all on one pan.
This works really well with chicken breast.
Line a pan with foil
but fold and pinch the foil to create dividers,
place chicken breast or other protein of choice
in each of the foil sections,
flavor them however you would like and then bake.
You can also try this hack with veggies
to prep different flavors all at the same time.
My prep course has a ton of flavor suggestions
and ideas for proteins and veggies too.
You will not run out of ideas.
Four, hard boiled eggs in the oven or a toaster oven.
Don't bother with boiling and monitoring your eggs
in a pot of water,
pop 'em into the oven.
Just pre-heat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
and place your eggs directly on the oven rack
or you can put them into a muffin tin.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes,
use tongs to remove from the oven rack
and then let them cool in an ice bath for a few minutes.
Bonus tip, you can also do this in your toaster oven
if you're only gonna do two to three at a time.
Five, reheat food without sogginess.
To reheat roasted and baked foods
without them getting soggy
place a half-filled cup of water
next to the food in the microwave.
It'll soak up the extra moisture
and keep your food more crisp.
An even better method
is to pop leftover roasted veggies in the toaster oven
for a few minutes.
Six, roast a whole chicken in your slow cooker.
Buying a whole chicken
is one of the cheapest meal prep options
but it can be one of the most daunting to actually cook.
Make things easy on yourself
and cook your whole chicken in the slow cooker.
Just place a layer of onions and veggies
on the bottom of the cooker with your chicken on top
so air can circulate around the chicken.
You don't need to add any liquid.
The natural juices from the chicken are enough.
Seven, make new meals with the same protein.
Keep meal prep versatile.
If you're not a fan of eating the same things
multiple days in a row,
you could still keep simple
by making a batch of the same protein
but serve it in different vessels.
Try tortillas, taco shells, a bed of greens,
different grains or even cauliflower rice.
Eight, prep your slow cooker meal for later.
As you've seen throughout the series
and this is one of my favorite meal prep tips.
In addition to slow cooker meals
making life easier on prep day,
you can also prep them in advance.
Not only does this cut down on overall prep time
but it means you get a fresh meal
during the week that you actually meal prepped.
Pop it in the slow cooker
before heading out the door in the morning
and it'll be waiting for you when you get home.
I've got these tips and more in my new course
but remember, my Meal Prep Ignite course
isn't really just about tips or hacks.
It's teaching you how to meal prep.
It's giving you so many tools along the way.
I know you're going to love it
and find it so, so valuable.
But remember, enrollment is limited.
So don't pass up this opportunity
to get access to this resource
that can help transform your lifestyle.

I've been connecting with so many of you there.
A lot of you helped me build it
by doing my polls and answering my questions.
And it's been a blast to see the feedback
so far from those of you who have already enrolled.
