Hey there, vegan foodies! If you're anything like me, you're always on the go, and sometimes it can be a real struggle to find time to prep your meals ahead of time. But fear not, because I've got some ideas and tips, and tricks up my sleeve for vegan meal prep that will make your life a whole lot easier.
First things first, let's talk about the benefits of meal prepping. Not only does it save you time during the week, but it also ensures that you're eating healthy and delicious meals all week long. Plus, it can save you money by not having to buy food on the go. So, without further ado, here are some tips and tricks for vegan meal prep made easy:
Start with a plan - Before you even think about meal prepping, sit down and make a plan. Think about what meals you want to make for the week, what ingredients you'll need, and what tools you'll need to make it happen.
Keep it simple - You don't need to make gourmet meals every day of the week. Keep your meals simple and easy to make, especially if you're short on time. Some ideas include quinoa bowls, pasta dishes, soups, and stir-fries.
Make a grocery list - Once you've got your meal plan, make a grocery list and stick to it. This will help you stay on track and ensure that you have everything you need for the week.
Prep in batches - Instead of prepping each meal individually, prep in batches. Cook up a big batch of rice or quinoa, chop up all your veggies at once, and make a big batch of soup that you can portion out for the week.
Invest in some good containers - Having good containers is key to successful meal prep. Look for ones that are leak-proof, microwave-safe, and easy to clean. Mason jars, bento boxes, and glass containers with snap-on lids are all great options.
Prep snacks, too - Don't forget to prep snacks as well! Cut up some veggies and hummus, make a big batch of energy balls, or portion out some fruit for easy grab-and-go snacks throughout the week.
Use your freezer - If you've made too much food or have leftovers, don't let them go to waste. Freeze them for later use, and you'll have a meal ready to go in no time.
Meal prepping doesn't have to be daunting or time-consuming. With these tips and tricks, you'll be a meal prep pro in no time. Happy prepping!
