In today’s video I’ll show you how to meal prep 11 ingredients and give you a few ideas for nourishing, fall meals that you can quickly put together. But with the creativity in this community, I’m sure you’ll find new, delicious ways to mix these ingredients. When you do, make sure to tag me on Instagram so I can see your creation. Now let’s dive in.
Ingredients I’ve Meal Prepped For Fall
- Paleo Pancakes
- Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- Cassava Tortillas
- Oven Baked Bacon
- Shredded Chicken
- Black Beans
- Green Goddess Hummus
- Kale
- Red Bell Pepper
- Apple Cider Vinaigrette
- Pumpkin Chia Pudding Mousse
Fall Meal Prep Recipes
These ingredients can be combined in numerous ways, but today I’m sharing several meal ideas and recipes that I’ve made from these ingredients, including:
- Green Goddess Hummus with Red Bell Peppers
- Kale Salad with Apple and Chicken
- Chicken and Black Bean Wrap
- Macro Bowl
- Paleo Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
- Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash
- Huevos Rancheros
- Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding Mousse
There are two items that require the oven, the roasted sweet potatoes and bacon. You could do one sheet pan of each at the same time (just cook at 425F and remove the bacon sooner). Or do two sheet pans of each, back-to-back, for a larger quantity.
The best multi-tasking happens when you’ve got one item in the oven because then you can use the stovetop or counter to prep another item. But remember, you don’t need to do everything you see on this meal prep. Pick and choose or combine with ideas from the other meal prep videos.

Hello Lisa!
I just finished the full Fall meal prep! I’m so excited that I found you and your helpful recipes and preps. Everything turned out great. Except the tortillas. I’ll have to look at your recommendation on cassava flour. The one I used wasn’t good, plus I don’t have a press yet. I’m sure that would help. Looking forward to trying out the recipes starting tomorrow. Thanks again!
Congrats on making your first fall meal prep! Can’t wait for you to start mix and matching :) Would love for you to share your meals in the Facebook community group if you’re not a part of it yet.
Dear Lisa, unfortunately I discovered your youtube video only last week but I am very impressed with your meal prep and I have tried to get the PDF for the last two days without result. Am I too late? Or what can I do to receive it anyway? Thank you and
kind regards, Anne
Hi Anne- Welcome to the Downshiftology community! You can email lisab@downshiftology.com and we will help you from there :)
Looks delish!
Is this 1 serving? good for a week?
Yes! All my meal preps are meant to last through the week :)
Do you have a gluten free healthy ranch resepise? I do love your videos 💕 and your resepise I have a lot of health issues. I have lupus, hyperthyroidism, fribialgya, etc. And you give me the hope to eat again.
I currently don’t! But I’ll be sure to keep that in mind for a future recipe :)
I’m a subscriber and I haven’t received the pdf for the fall meal prep. Can you try to send it again please. Thank you
Hi Margarita – Thanks for letting us know! Can you please send an email to lisab@gmail.com?
Love your videos and all the clean eating recipes. Thank you for all the easy recipes!
Hey Lisa!! Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this blog and all the inspiration you’ve given me. I am trying to engineer a kitchen where I can be more sustainable and eat for nourishment and . you have given me so much to think about. That being said I absolutely love your GLASSLOCK containers and I followed the link in your . shop to purchase them but I do not think I got the large containers that you have and I am trying to nail . down the sizes but even the website for GLASSLOCK makes it difficult, is there any chance you know the size of the larger containers, they would change my meal prep game for the better. Thank you again!!
Hi Alexandria – I’m happy you’re loving all my recipes and videos! The large round one in my set is 5.4 cups and the rectangular one is 6.3 cups. Hope that helps!
Hi Lisa, I recently discovered your Youtube channel and blog, and I have to say that I love it so much. Everything you do looks so nutritious, delicious, and most importantly, seems like recipes I would actually use to build up healthy eating habits! I have a question about your meal preps: how many servings do they make (i.e. how many people would they serve per week?
Thank you!
Hi Sydney – Welcome to the Downshiftology community :) As per my meal preps, I would say they can serve about 2 people. So, if you have more people you need to make this for, just add a bit extra more in each ingredient!
Excellent way to live healty ! Thank you so much.
Hi Banu – I’m glad to hear my meal preps have helped :)
I happened to find your videos on YouTube, watched several as they’re full of great prep & planning tips & recipes look great with lots of healthy options.
Can’t wait to start prepping trying some of your recipes!
Looking forward to the prepping guides & recipes!
Hi Laura – I’m so glad you discovered my channel! I hope my meal prep videos will give you some new inspiration on how to prep for the week. Enjoy the recipes!
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing
Hi Andrew – Thanks! Enjoy the recipes :)
Thank you! Any chance you can make a Paleo/dairy-free version of caramel covered apples since they’re in season? This meal prep is very helpful.
Thank you! I will definitely keep that in mind :)
Hi Lisa. Thanks for the video. For people who are allergic to almonds, which kind of gluten-free flour would you recommend as a substitute? Especially for in the pancakes in this video, but also in other treats.
Hi Kristina – I actually have a nut-free paleo pancake recipe you can refer to here: https://downshiftology.com/recipes/nut-free-paleo-pancakes/
Hope this helps! As for other treats, the recipes are very specific to the flours being used, so feel free to ask anytime you need an idea for a substitution :)
I wish the PDF included a shopping list to make it easier to execute this meal plan :(
Hi Mary – I completely understand! I wasn’t able to make it for the past few meal preps, but I will be sure to include something like this for future ones :)
The pumpkin mousse and veg hummus were so simple and tasty. Next time I’m going to double the batch.
Hi Hillary – So glad you loved those two recipes! Definitely simple meals to keep on hand :)
Hi Lisa,
I do enjoy your website, you are obviously a perfectionist as everything is so well thought out and tested.
I would like to know how long it would be safe to keep cooked chicken refrigerated. A relative of mine who is a microbiologist said not more than a day! I was also taught that keeping veges cut or cooked you straight away lose nutritional value.
Another thing I would appreciate your thoughts on is whether Olive oil changes when frying.
Hi Eleanor – according to online food safety sites, you can keep cooked chicken in the fridge for 3-4 days safely. Veggies start to lose nutritional value the moment they’re picked. Which, by the time they reach the market can actually be weeks. You may lose a smidge more meal prepping, but if the convenience of the meal prepped veggies saves you from eating something unhealthy, I’m completely okay with that. It’s still better than the alternative. And olive oil isn’t as high-heat stable as avocado oil or coconut oil, but it’s more stable than previously thought. I prefer to fry with avocado oil, just to be safe.
Lisa, very interesting video! and I want to cook all of your recipes! Your video is amazing: fast, precise and full of interesting content! Bravo!
