VEGAN Fall Meal Prep! (6 easy recipes to stock your fridge)

Join me in the kitchen as I meal prep some fall-inspired breakfasts, two hearty, plant-based dinners and lots of whole-food snacks. Meal prepping a bunch of food at the start of the week is what allows me to eat healthy, feel less stressed around mealtimes and have more time throughout the week to do other things I love.

► Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal:
Cinnamon Apples:
4 large green apples, sliced
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
Oatmeal:
2 flax eggs
1 cup apple sauce
1.5 cups milk
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
pinch salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup oat flour

Saute the sliced apples, cinnamon and brown sugar in a little bit of water until soft, cooked down and caramelized. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, make two flax eggs. Allow them to thicken before adding in the remaining ingredients, excluding the oats, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the oats, oat flour and 1/2 of the cinnamon apples and spread the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes or until set.

► Chai Spiced Granola:
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup almond butter
2/3 cup maple syrup

In a large mixing bowl, stir together all of the ingredients, except for the almond butter and maple syrup. In a saucepan, combine the almond butter and maple syrup and heat until thinned out and combined. Pour the sweet almond butter mixture over the oats and nuts and stir until combined. Spread the mixture out onto a lined baking sheet and bake at 350F towards the top of the oven for 10 minutes. Then move the sheet to the bottom of the oven and allow the granola to bake for another 10-15 minutes or until golden and fragrant.
► Spiced Pecan Energy Bites
2 cups roasted pecans
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Pinch of Salt
3 cups pitted dates

Process the roasted pecans, pumpkin seeds and spices in a food processor until a fine meal forms. Add in your pitted dates and process until a dough forms that holds its shape when pinched between your fingers. Roll the dough into balls or press it into a large rectangle and cut it into bars.

► Simple Green Curry
1 onion, sliced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
Green curry paste, to taste
Coconut milk
Lots of green veggies!

Saute the onion, ginger and garlic in a sauce pan with a little water or coconut oil until soft. Add in your green curry paste to taste and sautee until fragrant. Add in your coconut milk and veggies and simmer until the veggies are soft. Serve over rice or noodles.

You're recipes are my Bible. I haven't been able to find anyone else who makes plant based foods that are realistic for busy mothers and young kids! Your channel has saved me so much stress!

[suzanneanderson]

Meal prepping makes the work week so much smoother. When you come home and are tired…having a meal ready makes the vending so much easier

[codexone]

Mealprepping during the weekend reduces my urge to binge. It helps to always have healthy food available :)

[nineveh]

We love pineapple too! We boil the skin after and it makes a yummy tea

[stephaniefunrun]

Also love meal prepping so that when I am hungry I eat good nutrition and don’t just quickly reach for “crappy” foods. Also same concept for my family.

[melissal]

I always thought carrot and celery sticks with peanut butter was just a common, well-known snack. I definitely never would have thought it was weird.

[skyeorpheus]

I meal prep for sanity through the week- especially dinner (I get home late). The convenience of having things in the fridge stops me from processed junk- love it Faith!!!

[tanyak]

I have watcjed many of your videos and finally actually getting out of my cooking rut and making the red lentil dhal at 630 am in my new pressure cooker. So thank you from Melbourne Australia. It is daylight savings here so I am all out of sorts this week. So great to have something to do when i woke up early

[ruthhorndasch]

My why is the same as yours 😊I like making my week easier by having my meals prepped or prepared ahead of time 🙌 I work full time and packing my breakfast and lunch really helps. Having dinner already made or prepped helps because my hubby is not plant based and I may need to make his dinner unless I’ve prepped his too😁😁

[trinaboo]

Great recipes! Definitely trying the energy balls!
My husband and I have 5 children under the age of 12 and I'm the only whole foods, plant based eater in my house. Meal prep allows me to always have something ready for myself vs eating vegan junk.

[Plantfitlife]

I’m so glad this popped up! Subscribed! I love your real-life videos and your kids are adorable!

[chantelpearson]

I just found ur channel recently and loving it!! Need some inspiration when getting stuck. I love to meal prep but my days are always different mainly with work. Also very relaxing watching ur videos before work getting the inspo

[crescentcontrol]

I go back and forth on meal prep or planning. But when I do it it's mostly to save me from decision exhaustion and, of course, a better use of my time. Thanks for sharing!!!

[pambeni]

I'm so glad I found your channel. Great ideas and super aesthetically presented!

[mmschwartz]

My WHY is so I am not plagued by the stress and anxiety of not knowing what to make for my next lunch or family dinner when I don't have the time to spend in the kitchen. With 2 kids, the youngest being 6 months old, time is scarce and being as efficient as possible while not resorting to unhealthy options is key! Thank you for the inspiration!

[cdoghh]

Meal prep for me also keeps me on track with eating healthy, and less time thinking about what I can make.

[RenataRaut]

Love this meal prep video. Tomorrow is Sunday and that's my meal prep day. Looking forward to it. Your video is inspiring.

[jessicaowens]

I meal prep to save time, money & calories. I don't mind eating the exaxt same breakfsast & lunch all week but like some variety in my dinners. Your baked oatmeal looks delish!

[alwayslearning]

Your fridge is so aesthetically pleasing! 🥕🍽️🧘
I like to meal prep too as I enjoy cooking and find it therapeutic but don't want to cook every day/night, so once the day of meal prepping's done I can then take a break for up to a week before I need to cook from scratch again.
Plus it also saves on dishes as you don't have all the pots and pans each day, only the crockery that you serve it on and your cutlery, so overall it cuts down on your household chores as well! :)

These videos are super helpful— my partner and I are both graduate students with jobs on the side so life is often too busy to make nutritious, vegan meals during the week. We starting meal prepping last year and it’s been a great change! We get to eat so much healthier and it saves so much money.
