Vegan Meal Prep Recipe Round Up

Simple and delicious vegan and gluten-free recipes that make plant-based meal prep easy, time efficient, and fun! Mix and match throughout the week!

Hi, friends! 

January is stereotypically the time of year of start plans. 

New workouts, new diets, resolutely resolving to break bad habits and add healthy routines. 

By now, you might have heard me talking about the cookbook that I’m working on.

The theme is Vegan Meal Prep and includes mix and match recipes for how to be plant-based even when life is crazy (which it always is– right?).

It’s funny, because I feel like I’m carefully crafting a product that I would  love to consume.

Meaning, that yes, I too, would covet a collection of vegan & gluten-free recipes that take the guesswork out of meal time. 

So I’ve been working my way through the F&V archives, drawing inspiration from my favorite easy-to-prep plant-based recipes. 

While making my meal prep list, I thought, why not share this resource with you guys, too? 

If you’ve been here a while you know that all of the recipes on Flora & Vino are pretty darn simple with minimal ingredients. 

Therefore, it could easily be argued that *all* F&V recipes are meal-prep-able.

However, there are definitely some that fit more conveniently into the meal prep lifestyle more than others!

In this Vegan Meal Prep Recipe Round Up you’ll find Grab & Go Breakfasts, Quick & Easy Lunches, Portable Snacks, Sheet Pan Meals, One-Pot Soups & Stews, Easy Dinners, and Fuss-Free Desserts.

Everything you need to make plant-based eating easy and fun all week long!
