This Mediterranean meal prep includes pita, hummus, olives, and tabbouleh. It’s refreshing, satisfying, and filled with fiber!

Between the hummus (with chickpeas) and tabbouleh (with bulgur), each meal has 13 grams of protein. If you’d like to bump that number up even higher, adding a boiled egg will do the trick!

You don’t need much

Mediterranean meal prep is a refreshing vegan meal you’ll look forward to daily! It’s made with three main dishes and stays nice and fresh all week.

  • Tabbouleh: Tabbouleh serves as the greens portion of this meal prep combo (but it’s not any ordinary salad). Tabbouleh recipe here (30 minutes to make).
  • Hummus: Hummus is great for enjoying alongside the pita. Here’s a homemade hummus recipe (it takes 5 minutes to make).
  • Pita Bread: I love eating pita bread with my Mediterranean dishes as a delicious source of carbs!
  • Toppings: Garnishes and topping options include feta, olives, and extra chopped veggies like red onion, pepper, and tomatoes. You can customize this as you like!

More on bulgur

To complete this tabbouleh salad, I used bulgur to add a bit of “oompf.” f you’re unfamiliar, bulgur is the whole wheat kernel, including the germ, bran, and endosperm (each part super healthy for you).

Notes

Stores well in the fridge for about 5 days. Just be sure to keep the pita or naan separate. Divided meal prep containers really come in handy here!
