IACP AWARD FINALIST • 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.
