Reviews

"If you're busy, but still want to eat healthy, then you know meal prep is essential. Heart Healthy Meal Prep guides you through the process of how to get started--in easy-to-follow steps, including stocking your pantry--ensuring you always have essentials on hand. Lisa's recipes are so creative, new, and not tied to one type of cuisine--which I love! Lisa put a lot of thought into meals that save and reheat well to keep you motivated throughout the week. If you're new at meal prepping, or just need some new heart healthy recipes, this book is for you." --Sarah Pflugradt, MS, RDN, CSCS, author of Live to Eat Well

"Lisa has really outdone herself with her new cookbook, Heart Healthy Meal Prep. It's filled with easy, scrumptious recipes that are suitable for those with busy schedules who also are looking to improve their heart health. The meal prep section outlines simple ways to incorporate more nutritious foods into your daily routine--how to prep, plan, and grocery shop--and there is something everyone will love in the recipes section. My personal favorites are the Caesar Tuna Salad, Cajun Shrimp and Grits, Sweet Potato Peanut Stew, and Cherry Oatmeal Energy Bites. I highly encourage you to grab a copy--you won't be disappointed!" --Chef Julie Andrews, MS, RDN, CD, FAND, registered dietitian, trained chef, and cookbook author

"Too often, when patients hear 'heart healthy, ' they automatically think of the word 'bland.' Lisa has created a vibrant, easy to follow cookbook with a variety of different proteins, fruits, and vegetables while incorporating a vast amount of flavors and textures. Her meal prepping methods are easy to understand and utilize, all with time saving in mind." --Rachel Doan, MS, RD, LD, CLT, owner of Rachel Doan Nutrition Consulting LLC
