MEAL PREP FOR THE WEEK FOR $20 (VEGAN + EASY)

In this vegan meal prep video, I attempt to make a full week worth of meals (5 days) for 20 dollars! Best of all, these are simple and easy recipes and everything took me less than an hour. Vegan food prep does not have to be difficult, expensive or time-consuming! You can make so much food in a short period of time and you can even make a few different varieties of meals. Hope you enjoy - make sure you give me a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel if you haven't already.

I spent $20 Canadian dollars, which is equivalent to around $15 USD and £12 GBP.

Did the math. This provides about 1, 560 calories per day at a cost of approximately 380 calories per dollar. Not bad.

[monkiram]

Tip: I discovered that frozen corn is cheaper and tastes INFINITELY better than canned corn. It tastes like fresh corn :D blegh canned corn tastes so weird

Also if you want to save money on veggies, frozen are way cheaper than fresh, and as long as you cook them, they taste basically the same as fresh

[elizabetha]

It's so crazy, I looked in my kitchen and I have all the ingredients to make the pasta. Right away I started cooking and it smells delicious. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video 😊

[Joe-vccc]

I love how practical and real these recipients are. Ain’t no one got the time & money to make a gourmet meal every night.

[leannaiden]

For anyone on a budget, buying dried beans in bulk is way cheaper than canned. More work/time/prep, but cheaper by far. And rice, oats, pasta and any grain in bulk (not prepackaged like hers) is much cheaper if you're truly struggling. We can't afford luxury items at speciality health food stores, but that's where we get our bulk ingredients

[SarahsVeganKitchen]

Starch-based is for sure the best on a budget! Potatoes, beans, rice and pasta are dirt cheap. You've inspired me to try out a challenge like this. :D

[queentosheable]

Girlfriend this is exactly why you are one of my favorite utubers of all time!!! I'm going to challenge myself to do the $20 haul too!!!

[joannens]

i buy the garbanzo and lentils uncooked bags for like $1.50 and after cooked you have more quantity of food than buying cans, of course this is not for lazy vegans :P

I kinda lived vegan by accident the last week. The thing was just that I'm lactose intolerant, don't like eggs and the meat is so pricey in the country I moved to, so I just didn't buy any. I guess I might continue, but this time willingly.

[flowergrowersmith]

Wow - if everyone ate like this, they'd be so healthy, and the planet would be so much better off. Absolutely brilliant video - such fun and you're a natural talent! Veganism rocks!

[balemaryela]

Oh man, you need an Aldi up there! Waaay cheaper than Wally World and they have lots of organic options.

[Cowboy_sasuke]

mini heart attack at how much water she added to that oatmeal like girl thats soup

[Angel-rqpi]

my only comment is to carefully read the ingredient list on the "packets" of seasonings....esp if you're vegetarian, vegan, gluten sensitive, etc. Manufacturers get sneaky with those packages...

[mamawlies]

Hi! I inspired myself to make cheap burritos with what you show here! :) I went to walmart and got brand names of chick peas, diced chili tomatoes, iceberg lettuce and tortillas (pack of 10 the big ones)! I also used 2 onions that I had at home from a big 10 pounds bag that I got a 2$ on sale some weeks ago! I cooked my 2 onions with the tomatoes and all chick peas with some salt and pepper. Once the onions were tender I squished some of the chick peas to thicken everything up and get rid of the water. I put 2 big scoops in each tortillas with a huge handful of chopped lettuce! Depending on your appetite it can make you from 4 to 8 meals I think! I'm a big eater so 4 for me! :D

Chick peas: 0.77$
Tomatoes: 1.00$
Lettuce: 1.00$ (it was on sale! Yay!)
Tortillas: 3.40$
Onions: From my big bag probably 0.20$

And most important of all! The only dishes I had where a cutting board, a knife, a wood spoon and a pan! Too many videos never talk about the damn dishes! "You'll save so much time... that you'll spend cleaning!" I love love love how you cook eeeeverything in one pan! lol

[mariapapachristou]

you inspired me to turn vegetarian, and hopefully ill become vegan in the future! as you said it takes baby steps <3

[insanity]

I gotta say, the pasta salad is kick ass! First time trying Dijon mustard as a dressing, I've never been so stoked to eat a salad!

[neilyaremchuk]

Explore local fruit and vegetable markets if you live near them. Our local shop routinely marks down perfectly good produce to make way for the freshest items. If you’re making pots of veggie soup, this is a jackpot.

[LittleRockQueen]

so.. they put a plastic bag over another plastic pack instead of just put on a sticker or make a new price tag on the shelf. this amout of plastic trash makes me sick. this is not agains you, its against the stores producing so much unnesseccery trash.
