Simplify Plant Based Meal Prep with Easy Component Recipes

Have you heard me talk about batch cooking and how awesome it is? Have you heard it’s all the rage, the must-do, that it’s life-changing, time-enhancing, health-promoting, and money-saving?

Yes, you’ve heard me say all the things, but maybe you’ve put off trying because it sounds too complicated and time-consuming. Or you’ve tried it and thrown in the towel after your first attempt. 

If this sounds familiar, I have a way for you to simplify your plant based meal prep with easy component recipes. 

Batch cooking is nothing more than making larger quantities of several component recipes so you can use those components to create fast meals throughout the week.

For example, let’s say you made the following component recipes: 

Cashew Ranch Dressing 

Cooked Brown Rice 

Cooked Pinto Beans (or canned)

Deluxe Cheesy Sauce 

Tamari Roasted Sunflower Seeds 

With these versatile components on hand, you could whip together a range of plant based meals in under 15 minutes, such as:

• Rice and bean burrito (assemble and top with avocado) 
• Mac and cheese (you would just have to cook the pasta) 
• Rice salad (grab a bowl and add some cold rice, frozen or canned corn, chopped bell pepper, minced onion, olives, vinegar, lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste; serve with avocado on top) 
• Big ass salad with lots of veggies, topped with Cashew Ranch Dressing and Tamari Roasted Sunflower Seeds 
• Power bowl with rice, beans, veggies, and Deluxe Cheesy Sauce 
• Bean tacos with lettuce, chopped cabbage, salsa, lime juice, and Cashew Ranch Dressing

If batch cooking or plant based meal prep is intimidating, scratch it off your list and, instead, set aside an hour and a half this weekend to make the components above. See if that shift helps you get in your kitchen to nourish your amazing body with healthy food. No matter how lifey shit gets, eating healthy will never make it worse.
