1 Week Vegan Meal Prep

February 4, 2020 by emmamcdonald Leave a Comment

vegan meal prep 1 week plan

Vegan Meal Prep – Spend 20 minutes on three things – create 5-6 different meals for lunch and dinner! Three make-ahead lunches, two 10-minute dinners, ideas on how to use leftovers for breakfast! Plus a grocery list and tips to save and use your leftovers!

Groceries:

1 large bunch fresh basil

2 lemons

1 bulb garlic

2 avocados

1 block of tofu

Pack of frozen edamame

Box cherry tomatoes

1 zucchini

1 bunch kale

1 head broccoli (optional)

1 bunch romaine lettuce

Olives

Soy milk (or any unsweetened plant milk)

Pitas

Pantry Staples (purchase if you do not have):

Olive Oil

Nutritional Yeast

Apple Cider Vinegar (or white wine vinegar)

Salt

Any kind of nut (cashews, walnuts, almonds, pine nuts will work)

Quinoa

Pasta (I like brown rice pasta or lentil pasta) – check the ‘healthy’ section or the bulk store

Dried oregano + basil

Meal Prep:

Do broccoli/ quinoa first, the rest should be ready by the time they are cooked!

1. Broccoli (optional)

Not necessary for any recipes, but I like to have some cooked dark greens on hand to easily add to salads!

Preheat oven to 425 F, chop and roast until crispy (about 20 minutes)

2. Quinoa

While broccoli is in the oven, bring 2 cups of water to boil, once boiled add 1 Cup quinoa and reduce to a simmer. Cook covered for about 15 minutes, fluff quinoa with a fork.

If you will be in a rush during the week, cook pasta at this time too!

3. Pesto

Recipe linked above. Add all ingredients to the blender and blend!

4. Tofu Feta

Recipe linked above. Press tofu to drain water while you combine the marinade ingredients. Add the chopped tofu and let sit in the fridge overnight until you are ready to use it!

Meals:

1. Lunch – Pesto Kale Broccoli Salad

In your container, mix kale with pesto and quinoa. Add roasted broccoli, tomatoes, tofu feta, avocado, and frozen edamame! (I just put the frozen edamame in my container straight from the freezer and by lunchtime it is defrosted and ready to eat!

2. Lunch – Greek Quinoa Salad

Dress quinoa and chopped romaine with olive oil, lemon, and some dried oregano. Add chopped cucumber, tomato, olives, red onion, tofu feta and fresh basil (if you have leftover from making pesto).

3. Dinner Pesto Pita Pizza

Chop onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes and quickly fry in a frying pan in a little balsamic vinegar (optional) and/or olive oil. It is a good idea to do a big batch of vegetables (cook all), then you can use the rest for pasta the next night!

Spread pesto on the pita and add cooked vegetables, leftover roasted broccoli or kale (optional) and tofu feta. Quickly toast in the oven (or toaster oven if you have one). Serve with olives (optional), hot sauce, or chili flakes.

3. Lunch/Dinner Pesto Pasta / Pesto Pasta Salad &/or Pesto Zoodles

If you have leftover veggies from pizza, use those, if not fry onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes in balsamic and olive oil (optional).

For zoodles: Use a spiralizer to make the zucchini noodles. Use a tea towel or paper towel to get excess water removed. Add to pan with vegetables and pesto.

For Pasta: Cook according to package directions if you haven’t already in your vegan meal prep. Mix drained pasta with veggies and pesto

Serve: with tofu feta, extra fresh basil (if you have), nutritional yeast, hot sauce or chili flakes!

Breakfast Ideas:

Avocado Toast (Leftover Avocado + Tofu Feta)

Quinoa Porridge (Leftover Quinoa)
