Downshiftology Healthy Meal Prep: 100+ Make-Ahead Recipes and Quick-Assembly Meals: A Gluten-Free Cookbook

“Lisa has revolutionized meal prep to be approachable, fresh, and easy, and her cookbook has everything you wish to have to make healthy eating a breeze.”—Emily Mariko, TikTok creator

Before Lisa Bryan began meal prepping several years ago in an effort to save money and time, 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 plenty of meals and snacks without getting bored. And she found she could regulate what she ate with more clarity: It became easy to eat more vegetables and simple proteins, get rid of 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 may also be enjoyed day after today 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.
