This book isn’t groundbreaking- the recipes are mostly simple, and the meal prep instructions are not more involved than in other websites and books I have read. However the whole of it is clearly written, and almost all the recipes sounded like I would both enjoy cooking and eating them. Many are so simple and fast that I would use them as weeknight meals without any pre prepping required. I can’t wait to get home from vacation and try them- especially the smoothie recipes, the chocolate granola, and the tofu skewers.

The recipes are all pretty paleo/low carb friendly, and the author has menus for low carb and dairy free meal plans in case that is applicable for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my unbiased review.

Thank you Quatro - Race Point Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC in return for my honest review.

This book had appealing photos and good instructions for beginners wondering how to set up and begin food prepping.
I have menu planned and food prepped for our family for a number of years now and was hoping for some new inspiration for meals, especially to get inspiration for healthy meals to last the whole week.

This recipe book seemed to be more aimed at people cooking for one or two ( meals were written to provide four serves, used twice In a week so families would have to double or quadruple the amounts depending on family size). It also seemed to cater to those on a specific eating plan eg; low carb, vegetarian for much of the book.

I enjoyed reading this book and it was evident a lot of thought and planning went into the final product. The meals were healthy and colourful.

One thing I did wonder was how the meals looked and tasted two or three days after being prepped. There were many meals which I would personally have only ever thought to make just before eating such as zoodles (zucchini noodles), smoothies, scrambled eggs. I wonder about the retention of nutrients in pre made smoothies, juices and salads and the taste of reheated scrambled eggs.

This book is a great starting point for a busy couple wanting to reap the rewards to meal prepping.

Helpful mealprep guide with step by step instructions on how to achieve your customized mealprep whether you’re vegetarian or following a low carb diet. I wish there were more recipes. An entire keto friendly mealprep chapter would be awesome.

There are some great tips and recipes in this meal prepping book. They all seem to be healthy with lean meats and lots of vegetables. The book is easy to read and to understand. It also has a weekly plan. At the end this will save you some time, which you can use on other things in life. I do wonder how long things will still be safe to eat if you prep themThere are some great tips and recipes in this meal prepping book.

SO HELPFUL AND USEFUL!

I like how each "recipe" is really how to efficiently cook/prep everything at once. I haven't tried any of her suggestions yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

Only downside: the actual book didn't really start until a third of the way in. The first third is just helpful tips like "it's important to have a bowl so you can mix things inside of it."

But aside from that -- flip to about a third of the way in and get to ready to learn something.

So yummy! Wie man sich gesund ernährt und Zeit spart, genau das kann man mit diesem Buch lernen. Anhand von einfachen aber raffinierten Rezepten, gespickt mit Fotos und tollen Tipps bis hin zu Hinweisen zum einfrieren, ist man bestens gerüstet für eine ausgewogene Ernährung, die Spaß macht. Alles rund ums vorbereiten und organisieren ist auch dabei. Lecker!

I learned a lot in The Visual Guide to Easy Meal Prep. There are many easy to follow recipes and a guide to creating a variety of diets. I would have liked to see a design based on a balanced diet; I don
't need gluten-free, etc. but this gave me a basis to build up my own ideas and tastes.
There are some gorgeous photos included but it wasn't as visual as i expected from eth title. I kind of thought this would be more bento box like in prep. Regardless, this gave me new info about food that I did not have before.

I've tried meal prepping in the past, but being stuck eating something on Thursday or Friday that was cooked on Sunday didn't work for me. I was hoping that this book would inspire me to want to start prepping again, but even though I would like to try some of these recipes, I just don't think meal prepping is for me.

Great tips on meal planning and cook days. How to arrange and prepare ingredients for assembly line meal prep and what to buy for packing fast meals on the go, are all included in this yummy little cookbook full of nutritional excellence.

Please add nut, seed and soy free recipes in the next cookbook for those of us who can't have them.

A fantastic book full of healthy time saving meal ideas. Everything is kept simple without compromising on flavour. The book also includes a weekly meal plan which is very helpful indeed. Meal plans are also included for gluten, low carb and dairy free diets which is very good.

I will definitely be putting this book to good use over the coming weeks to see if I can incorporate healthier eating in less time.

Great photography is also always a bonus. A recommended book
