Meal Planning

Weeknight Vegan Meal Prep


Good vegan meal prep does not need a perfect weekly spreadsheet. A few reusable components are usually enough.

Prep Components

Cook one grain, one bean or tofu option, one tray of vegetables, and one sauce. Store them separately so lunches and dinners can be assembled in different ways.

Keep Sauce Flexible

A sauce can turn the same base into a bowl, wrap, salad, or skillet. Lemon-tahini sauce, peanut-lime sauce, salsa, and herby vinaigrettes are easy starting points.

Leave Room For Freshness

Add fresh herbs, greens, cucumber, avocado, citrus, or crunchy seeds at the end. This keeps leftovers from tasting flat.
