Meet your instructor.
Hi! I'm Alyssia, and I've been teaching Meal Prep and Healthy Eating on my YouTube channel Mind Over Munch for over 5 years.
I began working towards my Master's degree in Mindfulness Studies after using mindfulness to heal my relationship with food.
Let’s be real—being healthy can be HARD! We've been taught as a culture that if we want to be healthy, we need to diet. I believe that treats the symptom and not the cause. I know, because I tried to treat the symptom for years.
Most of the time our disordered relationship with food is result of STRESS. Instead of trying to manage our food intake, what if we got to the ROOT of the problem? The stress and emotions themselves! This will help us find success both in and out of the kitchen.
Whether you want to learn how to choose healthy foods, how to become a Meal Prep Master, or how to take better care of your mind and body, you’re in the right place!
A mindful approach.
What does mindfulness have to do with meal prep?
Everything!
I've seen it happen time and time again. People give up on meal prep after just a couple of weeks because they're too overwhelmed, causing themselves more stress, when the point of meal prep is to make healthy eating less stressful!
This is because there is SO much information out there.
The truth is, the only person who can know what you need to find meal prep success is you!
That's what Mind Over Meal Prep is all about. Helping you access what is already inside you, so you can find the success in the kitchen you've been looking for!

I want to teach you to meal prep sustainably.
What is sustainable meal prep?
Sustainable meal prep is meal prep that works for YOU!
I don't mean eco friendly (although this type of meal prep will produce less waste!) but rather sustainability for YOUR lifestyle. Meal prep that you can sustain for an extended period of time (for life, really) without causing yourself any unnecessary stress or suffering.
Sustainable meal prep means getting to know yourself, your needs, your habits, what you like, what you don't like, and more. It means cutting out EVERYTHING that you don't need, and only focusing on what you DO need!
Why mindfulness?
I used to believe that meal prep was about going on auto-pilot.
Meaning it was a sort of "set it and forget it" solution to eating well. If I could have healthy food ready to eat without having to think about it, I would be set.
Sounds good, right?
Wrong.
In the years that I've been teaching meal prep, I've found that this is one of the reasons I and so many others had so much trouble actually sticking with it.
I was tuning out, rather than tuning in, and I was teaching others to do this as well.
I was avoiding thinking about my health, my body and my needs.
I ate less mindfully because meal prep gave me permission to go on auto-pilot.
I started ignoring my body’s signals and cues, like hunger and fullness, because I didn’t eat when I was hungry, I just ate when it was time.
This was not sustainable.
I found myself yo-yo-ing between really diligent meal prep, and binge eating.
That led to a lot of self-judgment and guilt, and ultimately I realized I was spending so much time, energy and money to meal prep, and to be mindless.
This doesn't work!
What is mindfulness?
Nonjudgmental
If we are judging ourselves or others, we can’t see clearly. If we can't see clearly, we can't actually learn what it is we need.
Aware
Awareness allows us to clearly see ourselves and our needs, without anything, internal or external, getting in the way.
Present
If we aren't present, we are either ruminating about the past or anxious about the future. The goal of mindfulness is to help us see things as they truly are in this present moment. Not as we wish they were, or how we fear they'll be.
Mindfulness Meditation
Mindfulness is a quality we want to cultivate to bring to all aspects of our lives more, meal prep included.
One way we practice fostering this quality is through tools like mediation.
Meditation also helps alleviate stress and manage emotions, which is key to healing our relationships with food.
For that reason, we’re bringing meal prep and meditation together to end the cycle once and for all.

Did you say data collection?!
Don't be intimidated!
In all my years teaching meal prep, one thing has become very clear to me—we can’t start with the way we WANT things to be, we have to start with the way things are.
That means meeting ourselves where we’re at.
This is the best way to get to know yourself, your habits, and your preferences to create a meal prep plan that's just for YOU.
There are SO many one-size-fits-all meal plans out there, and there's a reason they often fail.
They aren't designed specifically with you in mind!
Only you can know what you need for yourself and your family. Mind Over Meal Prep will help you unlock what's already inside you to find your ultimate meal prep plan!
