Chili recipe just to make it easier for You when you're making your meal prep on The weekends ready for the week It's got all the vital nutrients in There that we need for when we're Training so let's get on to the next Dish So as i said guys i'm doing everything a Bit backwards but just to make sure that I cook this efficiently and quickly Because you don't want to be cooking for A long time on the weekend you just want To get your meals done and ready for the Week basically so for breakfast i'm Going to make a really simple porridge Which you can add milk to in the Mornings whether you just warm it up in The microwave or you warm it up on a hob Whatever you like but i'm going to make Sure there's lots of flavor in there and Lots of nutrients in there it's just Really simple so grab yourself four Containers I'm going to be making four of each Course so it wouldn't be porridge Without the porridge oats i've got Gluten-free porridge oats and i'm just Gonna do a cup in each One after all breakfast is the most Important Meal of the day you want to start your Day right and get some good complex Carbs and slow releasing carbs so that's What these oats are perfect for check on

The chili every now and then just give It a little mix it's looking perfect i'm Gonna flavor the porridge with some raw Cacao powder which is full of Antioxidants Really good for the blood And it's a aphrodisiac Whatever that is I'm joking i know what it is so the idea Behind the breakfast is you just add Your milk almond or soya give it a stir And get it into a saucepan or in the Microwave and it'll be perfect every Time i recommend adding a cup of milk to This and it'll be perfect porridge next In i'm going to be adding some mixed Nuts i've got some coconut some cashew Nuts some walnuts Hazelnuts a bit of everything really Nuts a pack full of protein Really good calcium they're just Super foods in general good fats as well Which is what we need when we're Training Next i'm going to be adding a tablespoon Of hemp seeds Great for your skin your hair Also High in protein as well next i'm going To be adding around about a tablespoon Of chia seeds to each one These are literally Energy food Apparently ancient warriors used to have

A little pouch on their belts before Going into war and they used to munch on A tablespoon to give them energy in Battle i do recommend adding some dried Fruit Or fresh berries just bring them along Separately and just mix them in Before eating your breakfast make sure You have a couple of bananas With your breakfast It's always nice setting it out like This at the start of the week Bananas again Great sugars Perfect energy food so that would be my Breakfast So guys the next meal is a light lunch Which can be served hot or cold i always Like to have one meal that i need to Warm up so for example the chili And one meal that i can eat on the go Which is cool or you can warm it up as Well i'm going to be doing some quinoa Which i'm going to add some amazing Flavors to i'm going to make it a lemon And herb quinoa and also serve it with Some grilled piri piri tofu But if you don't want to use tofu or soy Products I recommend serving this dish with some Falafel and really do check out my Falafel and flatbreads video because This works really well and it's packed Full of protein and good nutrients as

Well but i actually have the most Amazing falafel recipe in my book so Make sure you pre-ordered that on amazon It's vegan 100 or just type in gaz Oakley and you can pre-order it now It'll be out very soon back to the lunch I've got my quinoa here i've cooked it Off and i've got four cups in total That's a cup for each dish and quinoa is So good for repairing or building Muscles because it contains all of the Essential amino acids which is vital for When we're building muscle or repairing Muscles so we need to get this in when We're training so first up i've just Preheated this griddle pan behind me and When it's hot i'm going to start Grilling the tofu but first up let's mix Together our quinoa i'm going to add the Juice of one lemon Squeeze it through your hands So you don't get any of the pips in As you can see i have a mix of quinoa Here i've got the red and just the white As well i've just steamed this really Simple to cook it only takes about 10 Minutes So into my quinoa i'm just adding some Mixed herbs i've just got a mix of thyme Parsley and basil Add whatever you like chives are really Good as well Just roughly chop it As i said this meal i recommend

Having it cold It's good to have an option of a cold Dish especially if you can't get to a Microwave it's all about Getting some really nice flavors into The quinoa It's got all the nutrients in there you Just need to add some nice flavors i'm Also going to add a cup of chickpeas Just to get some extra protein i just Love chickpeas as well it makes it a bit More substantial really Smells amazing You don't have to add salt but i add a Little bit of salt to bring out some Flavours Give that a stir around make sure Everything's well incorporated and let's Get on with the grilling of the tofu I've just pre-marinated this tofu in Some of my piri piri sauce if you want The recipe go to my skewers video that That just transforms the tofu into Something really really flavoursome tofu Is great source of protein and really Good source of calcium as well so let's Grill these and add them to the dish With the quinoa Add some oil to your griddle pan if you Don't want to add oil just put them on a Lined baking tray and cook them in the Oven at 180 degrees celsius for about 15 To 20 minutes Whilst the tofu is grilling behind me

I'm just going to dish up The quinoa into the bowl and just add Around a cup into each one I only like to make Four of everything because after four Days really you don't really want to be Eating it all the flavors would have Gone and everything just doesn't taste As good really They look really tasty the griddle marks Add some great flavor and just transform The bland tofu once they're done we'll Add them to the pots and then we'll get On with the final dish They won't be much longer around about Three to four minutes on each side Add two slices of tofu to each dish So i'm just adding the last of the tofu To The lunch meal and i recommend when the Tofu is cool then add in Some spinach but to speed things up i'm Going to add it to you guys now and Spinach is literally essential To good health really i eat so much of Spinach so i'm just going to add a Handful to each meal I'm also going to add some cherry Tomatoes to the dish which are really High in vitamin c and just add another Nice color to the dish i hope these meal Prep ideas really help you out because They're really good to make at the start Of your week

It for your hand Add a pinch of salt Pop your lid on And blitz it up on a high speed And there we have it Is our creme fraiche done simple as that Just adds a little coolness to our chili It will thicken up once you Refrigerate it it's just quite warm Because it's been in the powerful Blender you need to make sure you blend It long enough so that it gets really Really smooth i'll just pop that aside And then we'll get it on top of the Chili Right the chili's done It's smelling really really nice you saw How quickly it was to make and how Stress-free it is and just look at that Look how beautiful that looks Packed full of flavor Smells absolutely incredible before i Add it to the containers i'm going to Add some beautifully cooked Broccoli which i've just steamed These little trees are actually full of Protein believe it or not and they're Also a great source of vitamin k and Iron which is essential For a vegan diet So simply get our lovely bean chili Over the top of our sweet potato make Sure you get A decent amount in there i try to aim
