Vegetarian Meals and Recipes for a Weekly Meal Plan

How Do Vegetarians Meal Prep For A Week?

Meal planning might be difficult when you have fewer options, especially if you are a vegetarian. You must always come up with meals that you would never tire of. What’s great about these meals, though, is that you can get your nutrients and proteins in a much more convenient way! Simply open a can of beans and you’re ready to go.

Vegetarians, like everyone else who meal preps, follow a nearly identical technique (minus the meat, of course).

With that said, here are some tips and strategies on how to meal prep for a week if you are a vegetarian:

• This is something you should always have or stock up on because where else are your prepared meals going to go?
• If you have at least one free day (maybe a sleepy Sunday), you may wish to go grocery shopping for the entire week. Obtain the ingredients you wish to include in your dish. The more choices you have, the better! If you truly do not have time, though, you can always order online or have your groceries delivered!
• Chop and put away. Prepare your vegetables ahead of time so that you can simply include them into a salad or other dishes. Vegetables can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days. If you choose to keep it in the freezer, it will last for about three months.
• And lastly, you just need to cook your meals so that it will easily be reheatable the next time you reach for it! 

Cheap Vegetarian Meal Prep

Don’t get me wrong, eating healthy does not require you to spend a lot of money! Yes, fruits and vegetables might get a bit pricey especially if they spoil or dry out too quickly. But again, this is why you should meal prep! When you have readily made meals, you will be more motivated to eat as the only step you need is to reheat your meals.

Here are some quick and easy but also budget-friendly vegetarian meal prep ideas that are perfect for a busy day:

• Healthy Overnight Oats (with chia seeds and fruits as toppings)
• Fruit smoothies
• Green salad
• Veggie sandwich
