Today, I am writing about Kenzi’s just released
Paleo Meal Prep: Weekly Meal Plans and Recipes
to Eat Healthy at Work, Home, or On the Go
Paleo Meal Prep is why after nearly two years I have become quite a fan of Kenzie Swanhart cookbook author. Thanks to her videos, I am also liking her more as a representative for the Ninja Foodi Family and other culinary presentations.
EVEN if you are not strict PALEO – but are working towards eating a bit healthier, this book is useful. The key is planning and Kenzie has focused wonderfully on the prepping and planning.
PRO: The recipes, primarily guided by Paleo rules, are interesting to those who are not adherents to Paleo for many reasons.
- Those I have prepared tasted good. (It will take another month or so to work thru them all)
- The relative novice home cook should be able to
(a) follow the directions with nominal assistance – especially if you take the time to review her videos using Paleo Meal Prep recipes. (LINK NEEDED)
(b) find most if not all the ingredients are already in their kitchen and if not are readily available in your favorite grocery store (I checked Safeway & Aldi)
(c) sub (especially protein) other ingredients to make it your own. (Tiplet: always follow the recipe written if you are not allergic to any ingredients the first time and make notes so you can decide how to adjust next time. ) - For those who know how picky I can be, I found absolutely nothing to disagree about. Just a ting or two I might have done differently.
- Not an official NinjaKitchen book, there is enough information to make these recipes “Foodi Friendly” (I will be using the 6.5 quart and digital oven in my kitchen.
- These recipes very much lend themselves to my preferred method of Pot-In-Pot that I will be writing more about in my GAB Group
Food Craft – The Making & The Methods.

CON: If I Ruled The Universe and Clearly I Do Not.
and some might say I am pretty darn opinionated – so will likely be quite surprized to read I only found two things I wish were different.
(1) It would be helpful to have included details for freezing so those who need to make ahead and want to build “diversity” into the diet will have an idea how to best plan and prepare.
(2) This is said with an understanding of the effects more photos would have on the cost of the book. With that cost consideration in mind.. I would hope that over the coming months Kenzie will consider sharing finished dishes for each recipe, referencing which book, the name and page number.
It took me awhile to write this review because my first efforts were even too Food Geeky for me.
Bottom line? I bought the Kindle version after reading thru unlimited, trying several recipes and getting positive feedback so I would be able to reference it later. I suggest you do the same.
