Time Saving Vegan Meal Planning Hacks
If you want to spend most of your day out of the kitchen, then having a meal plan is vital!
Even better if you do some vegan meal prepping!
And by meal prep, no, I don’t mean making all your families meals on the weekend, portioning them out, and eating through out the week. Unless you want to do that!
But honestly, I don’t think most people have enough meal prep containers to do so, though it is something to consider if you’re completely overwhelmed 5 days a week!
Some realistic time saving hacks are;
- Wash all small produce in a vinegar/water bath as soon as you have
- Wash and Chop all veggies that need it, at the same time
- Make and freeze meals and snacks you can, such as;
- Pancakes
- Energy Bites
- Popsicles
- Cook beans ahead of time (or buy canned)
- Puree Avocados with a little bit of water and freeze in silicone ice cube trays (heat gently when needed)
Don’t forget to enjoy the days when all you have to do is heat up leftovers!
Money Saving Vegan Meal Planning Hacks
Saving time due to meal planning and prepping is such a great feeling, but sometimes it’s an even better feeling to be able to save money!
Luckily, you’re already headed in the right direction with saving money by reading this meal plan, because meal planning, and sticking to the meal plan is going to save you tons of money!
Meal prepping, and ensuring the food you buy doesn’t go to waste will also save you money; from not having to buy more or eat out.
But, there are some other ways to save money with a vegan meal plan, such as;
- avoiding processed plant based alternatives (find a recipe to make it yourself)
- buy your nuts and seeds in the baking aisle, they tend to be pre-chopped and a little bit cheaper than in a snack aisle
- DON’T buy name brand- seriously, you’re paying for the brand when you do that!
- freeze any leftovers, these make for a great back up meal later in the week or another week, or as a second meal or big snack for kids going through growth spurts
- have quick and easy back up meals to prevent ordering in (pasta and veggies, prep some freezer meals, sandwiches, breakfast dinners, etc.)
