LAZY PLANT-BASED MEAL PREP HACKS FOR A WEEK (What I Eat in a Day)

When you make the switch to a whole food plant-based lifestyle it can seem like a daunting task to suddenly feel like you need to cook three fancy meals from scratch each day. I'll show you what I call my LAZY MEAL PREP HACKS for the week that take the heavy lifting out of plant-based living.
Batch cooking "base" foods like grains, beans, sweet potatoes, tofu, and greens to use for multiple meals and then accenting them with simple salad dressings and sauces is the key.

I also share WHAT I EAT IN A DAY showing you how I easily incorporate the base dishes into my daily routine. Say goodbye to complicated recipes and hello to delicious simplicity. Get ready to revolutionize your meal prep routine!

I have chronic illness so most things are too much energy for me to prep most the time. Thanks for these ideas, they help a lot make it seem doable

[andreawalker]

I've watched a lot of meal prep videos where they never showed how to put the ingredients together, so thank you so much for the ideas!

Love her vibe and recipes. She's so down to earth. I did her 28-day intro to plant-based eating and really enjoyed it and have kept mainly going plant-based with some eggs and fish now and then.

Thank you for this video. When I first started eating WFPB I swear I about drove myself nuts and wasted so much food. I thought I had to cook all these varieties of foods that I was seeing on YouTube videos. I no longer do that. I now tell people to pick out some basic menu's they like and rotate this. You can always try something new once a week or so.
Keeping some basics made makes life so much easier. Great job on this video.

Thank you for this video!!!! It is super helpful on what to eat. Please consider a 4 week series every quarter so we can get ideas for each season.

I am SO excited! I’ve gotten away from eating plant-based foods, but when I did for several years, this was exactly how I rolled! Thank you so much for reinspiring me with the easy, make-ahead meals. I’ve printed it out and immediately purchased a membership. This will save my life!! Your process is priceless. :)

[alreadythunkit]

Ha! Grain/bean mixes are the best! Thanks for the tips.

[stampsfungin]

I love salads and do a non oil dressing, then I just eat some brown rice and quinoa or yam, etc with it so I feel fuller.

[sschiavo]

Absolutely loved this down to earth, realistic plan. And I could eat lentils for breakfast too!

[noramaddock]

I love your message of keeping it simple. I very much resonate with this and it’s how I have continued eating this way for the past fourteen years. It is THE reason I can keep my family of four fed with healthy, whole plant foods. I just started making some videos of how I make super simple starch staples for our family, how to use the instapot etc. It can be so simple once your tastebuds adjust.

Love your channel!!.. Thanks for sharing 😀

You’re so pretty your skin is glowing, the diet is working.

[truthbetold]

These are my kind of meals. Wholesome ingredients prepared in my own kitchen. Best of all, assembled the way I like it at the time of eating. Sometimes I have a banana avocado smoothie with granola for dinner--quick, nutritious and satisfying, perfect after a day of work in the garden. BTW Jill, I used to sew aprons to give as gifts. The fabrics you've chosen to make your aprons looks absolutely beautiful on you. I would be highly interested if you started a clothing line. I know you thrift some of your clothes but I love your style and palette. A few pieces you've worn on your show (including the dress in this video) I would love to have in my wardrobe. So that you know, you've got a fan in me.

[michelechicago]

So happy to find your channel on YouTube. I needed to learn how to keep plant based life simple ..I love your storage ideas Wil use them.oh I'm just so thrilled to be here t y for this ❤

[jillponce]

Very helpful video. I like that you show how you prepare those base ingredients and then go on to show how to use them in your meal prep.

[beccogiallo]

I just made your grain mix, using oat groats instead of steel cut because that's what I had, and I'm very happy with it. I'll be making it over and over.
I tried some with a tiny bit of maple syrup, cinnamon, walnuts and raw cocoa powder and it will be excellent for breakfast, snack or dessert. I'll be topping it with bananas or other fruit as well.
Thank you.
