Hey there! Are you curious about what a day of delicious eating on a vegan diet looks like? Whether you’re new to a vegan diet or just looking to include plant-based meals in your routine, we’ve got you covered. Our meal plan is packed with many easy-to-make recipes to keep you satisfied and energized throughout the day. And the best part? With some meal prep, you’ll be all set for a week of healthy eating, no matter how busy.
Let’s start the day with a classic favorite – peanut butter toast topped with bananas. This breakfast is not only tasty but also provides a good dose of whole grains and fiber from our whole grain bread. We’ve got some protein, healthy fats from the peanut butter, and some fruit to start the morning right. Feel free to switch it up and top your toast with sliced apples, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even some sliced pears – the options are endless!
Moving on to lunch, we have our superfood vegan grain bowls. They are not only delicious, but they can also be meal prepped ahead of time. Meal prep is a game-changer for staying on track with your eating goals. We understand people choose not to eat dairy products but fret not! There are so many alternatives out there now. For your afternoon snack, we recommend a coconut milk yogurt topped with blueberries or your fruit of choice. It’s a perfect pick-me-up to keep you fueled and satisfied throughout the day.
Now, let’s talk about dinner – vegan coconut chickpea curry. This dish is bursting with flavor and packed with veggies. We serve it over high-fiber brown rice to make it a wholesome and filling meal. Trust us; you won’t miss the meat with this one!
Okay, I know you’re probably wondering about protein. How can you get enough protein following a plant-based vegan diet? Well, let me tell you, there are plenty of delicious ways! Take, for example, quinoa. It’s a great option that provides both fiber and protein. You can quickly cook quinoa yourself in just 15 minutes on the stovetop or opt for the pre-cooked version for convenience.
Another protein-packed ingredient is edamame. These little soybeans can be shelled in your grocery store’s freezer aisle. Not only do they provide a good amount of protein, but they also offer a good dose of fiber – a double whammy to keep you feeling satisfied.
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of meal prep. You may wonder, “How can I meal prep a vegan lunch that’s delicious and easy?” Well, let me show you. We’ll start by making a simple dressing using hummus. Hummus adds flavor and provides fiber and protein to your meal. Whisk it up with water or lemon juice to get the desired consistency. You want it to be drizzle-able, not too thick or too runny.
Once the dressing is ready, it’s time to assemble your meal prep containers. Start with a bed of greens – I like using baby kale because it’s a bit heartier than mixed greens and holds up better in the fridge. Next, add some cooked quinoa, edamame, and other veggies you fancy. You can even add some pre-cooked beets for extra color and antioxidants. And, of course, don’t forget a quarter of an avocado in each bowl for that creamy goodness!
To add some crunch and extra protein, sprinkle sunflower seeds. They’ll give your meal prep bowl that satisfying texture. And voila, your meal prep containers are ready to go! Pop them in the fridge, and you’ll have a delicious vegan lunch all week.
Meal prepping saves you time and money and ensures you have a healthy option on hand when hunger strikes. Eating out can get expensive, but with some planning and preparation, you can have a restaurant-quality meal at a fraction of the cost.
So, there you have it – a sneak peek into a day of delicious vegan eating. Whether you’re new to a vegan diet or just looking to incorporate more plant-based meals into your routine, our meal plan covers you. And remember, there are so many options and variations out there, so feel free to get creative and make it your own!
Happy cooking, and I’ll catch you next time on Prep School!
