Blender recipes

Anti-inflammatory cherry spinach smoothie

  • Can also use berry-cherry frozen blend.
  • I would recommend buying a tube of pureed ginger instead of buying fresh to cut down on PREP time.
  • Protein is coming from the kefir (can substitute with Greek yogurt) the almond butter & the chia seeds

1 pot Stove top or electric skillet

Chicken enchilada skillet casserole

  • Use frozen blend of peppers & onions to cut down on prep
  • You do not have to follow last half of step 3 "finish in the oven"
  • Can finish in oven OR air fryer if available

Mediterranean chickpea quinoa bowls

  • Requires a blender & 1 large mixing bowl
  • If you don't have time to make the quinoa, omit and replace with another can of chickpeas, or buy the pre-cooked packages, or use this easy recipe

Insta pot or slow cooker-crockpot

Slow-cooker green curry scallops with veggies

  • Increase to 5 cups bok choy (or napa cabbage)
  • To reduce cooking time, try replacing noodles with pre-cooked quinoa/rice packets
  • Also works well with SHRIMP!

    Sheet pan recipes (Standard oven/air fryer or Galanz)

    Sheet-pan salmon with sweet potatoes & broccoli

    • Increase to 12 oz broccoli florets, works great with frozen as well
    • Can switch out the mayo for plain Greek yogurt
    • Use only 1/2 the juice of 1 lime
    • Can work for AIR FRYER in smaller portions!

    Meal prep tips

    Storage can be a big issue when it comes to meal prep on the truck

    1. Drivers recommend investing in a vacuum sealer to store weeks of food at a time without going bad and taking up tons of space

    • Find a USB rechargeable vacuum sealer and bags from Walmart here- Vacuum & Bags

    2. Drivers recommend investing in a blender to make nutritious smoothies. The Blend Jet 2 (battery powdered, USB rechargeable) is especially driver friendly as you can put your ingredients in before driving, place the entire blender in your cupholder, then press the button and blend without having to plug it in or stop driving!

    • Click to get a Blend Jet 2 and cut down on time even MORE by prepping smoothie ingredients in baggies for quick access
    • Another great blender is the Vitamix for larger batches of smoothies. Uses 1200-1400 W

    Cleaning tips & tricks

    Without the right tools for clean up...let's just say it can get messy trying to clean dishes in the truck stop shower

    Instead, try these driver recommended products

    1. Dawn spray soap- cuts through the grime leaving minimal scrub time
    2. USB rechargeable spray bottle- powerful & helpful tool that holds 1 Liter of water at a time
    3. Eat cleaner food grade wipes- quick swipe of fruits, veggies, even dishes so it saves a bunch on water
    4. Collapsible dish pan- space saving equipment that also doubles as a cutting board
    5. Large water container with spigot- set to the end of doorway & clean dishes on step
    6. For blenders- clean quickly by simply filling halfway with water + dab of soap, turn on for 30 seconds to 1 minute, drain, then rinse with plain water
    7. Parchment paper makes for easy cleanup when using pans or dishes in the Galanz or standard oven
