Vegan Meal Prep For Weight Loss
This vegan meal prep for weight loss is for 6 days and makes 12 healthy weight loss recipes in 1 hour. These cheap vegan meals are also oil free and gluten free.
One of the biggest obstacles for weight loss is not having a plan!
Can you relate to some of the following scenarios?
You think you are eating healthy but somehow you still have health issues. Or you just can’t lose weight. You actually go to the gym, but still seem to achieve NOTHING.
You actually don’t even know what is healthy anymore, or what real weight loss recipes look like. Do you choose low carb, low calorie, low fat?
The first step of successful weight loss is striving for a healthy lifestyle and not following a quick weight loss/fad diet.
If you change unhealthy habits for the sake of your health one step at a time, you will find yourself losing weight automatically. And you will actually keep the weight off.
Vegan Meal Prep For Weight Loss
The most effective way to stick to a weight loss plan is to have a meal plan with even better meals that are already prepared and waiting in the fridge for you.
Today, I would like to share a plant based meal prep for weight loss that is oil free, gluten free, and can be done within one hour.
With this vegan meal prep you will have 12 whole food plant based meals and each serve about 3 cups of food.
I created the recipes according to the vegan weight loss pyramid and you can increase the serving sizes as you please.
Here is what you need for the vegan weight loss meal prep:
- 12 meal prep containers (3 cups each)
- cutting board and knife
- 2 large pots OR 1 pot and 1 instant pot
- 1 small pot (for quinoa) and a large pan (for fajitas)
- hand blender
- The 3 recipes printed (see below) and all ingredients
Vegan weight loss recipes:
Please head over to each recipe and either take a screenshot or print. You can use the ingredient list to create your shopping list. All recipes are under 400 calories.
In the example I used a broccoli soup, which I have replaced with a lentil soup recipe (should take the same time if you use canned lentils!)
- Vegan Potato Cauliflower Stew
- Easy Vegan Lentil Soup
- Fajita Bowl (use rice or quinoa, use ingredient list modified for weight loss)
How to meal prep the plant based weight loss meals
First, gather all your tools and ingredients. In the video below I started to prepare the ingredients for the stew. You can simply add all ingredients in one pot and cook for 20 minutes or use your instant pot and set on “stew – high – 5 minutes.”
Then prepare everything for the lentil soup recipe. Add this into a large pot and set on the stove to cook for 20 minutes. Use canned lentils to speed up the cooking time!
In the meantime, cook the rice or quinoa in a small pot and then add all ingredients plus some water to steam the fajita veggies in a large pan. Once they are steamed, drain the water and add the seasoning.
When your stew is cooked you can stir and fill it into 4 containers. Once the lentil soup is done simply divide it into 4 servings (4 containers).
Then place 4 servings of the rice or quinoa at the bottom of each container and top with the fajita mix.
