Plant-based meal prep doesn’t have to be boring or bland! Here are 13 of our favorite vegetarian meal prep recipes for making ahead for lunch or dinner.
Planning and prepping meals in advance is an incredibly efficient and budget-friendly way of eating (plus, it ensure you get a delicious, healthy meal on the table).
The concept is simple: make 4 to 7 meals ahead of time, so when you need to eat you can simply grab a premade meal and enjoy. While we love it for lunch, meal prep is also easy for dinner and even breakfast.
But with so many meal prep ideas relying on meat, we wanted to create resource for vegetarians and vegans who also want to get into meal prepping.
Here are our favorite tried and true vegetarian meal prep recipes. You’ll find within each recipe specifics on how to best store and reheat the meals, along with printables for making your meal planning even easier.
