Film a practical meal prep course showing exactly how to plan, shop, chop, cook, and store 20 healthy meals in a single 2-hour Sunday session. Cover kitchen setup efficiency, container selection, ingredient cross-utilization (roast chicken becomes 3 different meals), food safety for week-long storage, and dietary variations. Meal prep content gets millions of views on YouTube. Your course goes deeper than free content by providing complete grocery lists and customizable meal plans.
🚀 First Step
Plan and film one complete meal prep session with overhead camera angle showing all chopping, cooking, and container-packing steps, then edit it into a 15-minute module with on-screen ingredient lists.
  • Invest $30 in a phone tripod with overhead arm — the top-down cooking angle is what makes food content look professional on any budget
  • Include downloadable PDF grocery lists organized by store section (produce, proteins, pantry) so students can shop in 30 minutes flat
  • Offer 3 course variants: Omnivore, Vegetarian, and High-Protein to triple your addressable audience without re-filming the core techniques
