Discover an easier, more balanced way to meal prep as you whip up 100 fresh and healthy dishes that happen to be gluten-free, from the creator of the popular blog and YouTube channel Downshiftology.
“Lisa has revolutionized meal prep to be approachable, fresh, and easy, and her cookbook has everything you need to make healthy eating a breeze.”—Emily Mariko, TikTok creator
Before Lisa Bryan began meal prepping several years ago as a way to save time and money, she quickly became tired of eating boring leftovers and wasting food. At the same time, she also wanted to “downshift” the too-fast pace of her life. So she flipped the script on meal prep by focusing on individual ingredients.
By prepping a handful of healthy ingredients at the start of the week, she learned that she could enjoy a variety of meals and snacks without getting bored. And she found she could control what she ate with more clarity: It became easy to eat more vegetables and simple proteins, eliminate processed foods and gluten (to manage her celiac disease), and reduce refined sugar. Her debut cookbook is packed with 100+ simple and ingenious big-batch recipes that can either be frozen or repurposed into totally different, delicious meals.
A dinner of Coconut Chickpea Curry with rice can be enjoyed the next day as a tostada at lunch, and a side of peas and crispy prosciutto becomes breakfast when you add a jammy egg on top. The recipes are all free of refined sugar, many are naturally anti-inflammatory, and dairy is minimal and optional. Lisa’s approachable method for eating well and preparing meals with ease will inspire home cooks to downshift their lives, too, by making healthy meals without a fuss.

Perfection
I own a LOT of cookbooks. And I order way more and send a lot back because Iâm picky. I almost never write reviews. But I love this cookbook. Itâs truly healthy (the food, the recipe combinations and. Even the advice on which containers to use to store). Itâs practical (long gone are the days I get an uninterrupted hour to cook). Many of the recipes allow me to prep quickly in advance when Iâm free and then assemble or reheat right after picking my kid up from daycare. The flavors are excellent and she doesnât demonize anything. Need a bit of maple syrup to make oats appealing? Itâs in the recipe. Want less sugar, reduce it. There are pictures for everything and they look very appetizing. And even better, when I make the recipes, my food looks the same which is rare given the age of instagram focused food belongs. Simply perfection!

The best healthy, feel good recipes & family favorites!
I bought this book when she first dropped it and have made so many of these recipes part of my familyâs regular meals. I love her YouTube channel as well and is what informed me of her book. Lisa Bryan has delicious and healthy easy to make recipes with items usually found in the pantry or fridge. I always get compliments on the dishes I make from her book and channel and just bought mom and mom in law her books for Motherâs Day gifts. Thanks Lisa, your recipes have brought so much goodness to our families lives.

Life changing
This book is changing my life. I have struggled with SIBO, and recently tested negative. Itâs been a crazy couple of years with stomach issues and recovering from having a baby. I was getting into a rut being âtoo busyâ for healthy foods. This book, and her approach is everything! Iâm eating tons of veggies and itâs so simple. Itâs actually simplifying my life so much. My kids are even trying, and liking some of her recipes! Some of them look really healthy, and I always wonder if Iâll have to gag it down. Everything Iâve tried is delicious! My one and only concern is not all of the foods have a good protein content. Maybe Iâll just start doctoring them up. Iâll try to keep adding photos. So far I only have the chickpea curry, which is so yummy.

Good gift!
Ordered this for my cousin for Christmas and she just reported back that she loves it! Highly recommend as a gift or even just if you’re looking to find healthy alternatives for daily recipes

Extremely well put together book.
I don’t normally leave reviews unless something is so awful I need to warn people, or so good I need to tell people.The content, design, information, photos and layout of this book are brilliantly done.The fact she “shows” you how the prepped ingredients will look once made, and then follows up with the 5-9 more dishes you can create using the prepped ingredients, is positively ingenious, and beautifully done too, I might add.The recipes to make the prepped portions are found by the page number added below the item. Additionally, there’s an easy to see list at the bottom of all the fresh and pantry items you need.The only addition I’d like to see would be the nutritional value, etc., not just the carbs, calories etc., along with what vitamins and other health benefits are included in each dish. However, maybe that is an another book, one which could help balance the daily nutritional values, or the particular nutritional values of the dish as a whole.The fact that literally everything made has a beautifully picture is priceless.Extremely well done Lisa. Thank you.

Only 4 Weekly Meal Prep Ideas – The Rest Individual Recipes
I just sat down with a nice beverage after work and went through the entire cookbook. It’s important to point out that for those who think this book will be full of weekly meal prep planning ideas, it’s just not. Although this cookbook oozes amazing and healthy recipes, it’s just that; a cookbook of mostly sections divided into desserty, vegetable recipes, meat recipes, etc. At the beginning of this wonderful cookbook, you’ll be presented with four weekly meal prep planning sections. I need to be honest and say I was hoping the cookbook was going to be oozing with oodles of weekly meal prep ideas, but it’s just not. I’d pay double the price of the book if Lisa eventually comes out with a “Weekly Meal Prep” cookbook. One where we can go and have an abundance of organized weekly meal prep ideas. I have 4 weeks covered with the 4 included in this large cookbook, but that’s it. So basically I’m on my own to learn how to mix and match recipes on a weekly basis without the convenience of what I thought would be a book of weekly meal prep ideas. Oh well, I do now have a new, wonderful cookbook with great, healthy recipes!

Book is delivered with visible damage on two places + dirty/dusty. It looks like the book was on the shelves for a long period not protected from the dirt/dust.Packaging for books should be better not cardboard envelope.

Lisa makes cooking gluten free meals easier and more fun! She also is great at giving many ideas about how to prepare and construct meals before hand which is what we, modern busy people, need. The book has beautiful pictures, suggestions for storage and substitutes, not to mention the nutritional value of each meal! As transparent and clear as possible, that even beginners can do magic!

I have been cooking from this book now for the past 2 months and every recipe I have tried is delicious and easy to make – as someone who is time poor but trying to eat healthy balanced meals, this has been a great find and help diversify my meals.

I have made several recipes from this book and they are delicious and easy to make. The pictures are beautiful and recipes easy to follow. I love that Lisa gives tips for storage, helpful hints and creative swaps. I love the meal prep ideas and how to put those ingredients together in different meals. I just wish there were more!! These recipes feel nourishing and creative. I look forward to future books! My humble request, please add more âquick assembly mealsâ ideas.
