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!

Thai Salad with SunButter Dressing

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Vegetable Thai salad with raw vegetables, baked tofu, cilantro, and an easy oil-free SunButter dressing. Perfect for an easy meal prep lunch!

Last week I impulsively decided to cut my bangs.

New year, new hair?

I haven’t done *true* bangs in almost 15 years, since I was obsessed with Anne Hathaway’s thick bang in the Devil Wears Prada.

Remember how chick she looked, guys!?

Well, I didn’t look like that at all.

The hacked locks stacked on my forehead like a massive mop, a hair helmet of sorts.

So yeah, I’ve been avoiding bangs for a bit.

But change is good, and I’m getting used to the feeling of movement across my forehead.

Aaand coming to terms with the fact that, if I actually want them to lay right, I need to style them.

Doh.

I’d much rather just style my salads…

I’m excited to share this Thai Salad with SunButter Dressing with you as a fresh option after post-holiday indulgences!

Teriyaki Sheet Pan Meal

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

One pan meal with chickpeas, broccoli, sweet potato, and mushrooms in a homemade low-sodium low sugar teriyaki sauce. Perfect for meal prep!

Guys, this week I gave my very first haircut.

I’m not sure if it was braver on my part or his.

After a 30 second YouTube tutorial and zero prior experience, I sat him down on the edge of the spare bathroom bathtub.

Wait, I said, before starting, them scampered to grab a sea foam green towel from the linen closet that I draped around his shoulders.

“So professional,” he said, and I snorted as I measured tufts of hair between fingers then snipped with crude kitchen aid Kitchen shears.

I started out timid, taking only shy centimeters of split ends off.

Then I got braver, and the whole ’do started to take shape the way my drawing final in art class became 3D with charcoal shading and my food photos draw in the eye with a well placed S curve.

It’s an art.

And it was fun!

I only nicked his ear once with the razor (oops!), and managed not to cut either party, so I’m going to call it a smashing success.

Overall, I think he was pretty satisfied with the job.

Next time I should charge, right?

Before you get super excited about a potential Flora & Vino salon opening, let’s all calm down and bake a sheet pan meal.

This Teriyaki Sheet Pan Meal is cozy for the dropping temperatures with nourishing vegetables and an easy homemade teriyaki sauce!

Hi guys, how are you doing?

How are you *really* doing?

Like I know most of us are, I’m literally taking it day by day, slowly navigating this new normal that we didn’t choose.

I’m trying to see blips of beauty amongst all of the hard stuff going on in the world right now.

For example, it’s been amazing to watch my online and local communities tackle the isolation with words of encouragement, free online services, and a little humor.

I’ve got to say that in some ways I feel more connected than ever despite social distancing.

Anyway, I asked on Instagram what kind of content you’d like to see as we get cozy and stay home.

Many of you requested pantry and freezer- friendly recipes and I’m right there with you.

I’m planning on keeping my pantry and freezer well-stocked during this time to minimize shopping trips and maximize my menu!

You’ll find a large selection of 75+ Plant-Based & Gluten-Free Pantry-Friendly Recipes that are easily made with pantry-staples and frozen foods.

I’m working to add to this collection with brand NEW content in the coming weeks.

If you’re looking for for a concise list of my favorite essentials, check out My Top Plant-Based & Gluten-Free Pantry Staples to get started.

More time at home allows us more opportunities to get creative in the kitchen and flex our minimalism muscles.

Let’s take on those dusty cans and frozen peas together, OK?

By Flora & Vino 1 Comment

Dark Chocolate “Choco-Tacos” in 30 minutes! Crispy corn tortillas stuffed with vegan dark chocolate ice cream dipped in chocolate with your favorite toppings.

Summer’s making a come-back.

Today when I woke up and checked my phone the weather app told me it was going to be 95 degrees today in Virginia.

Ninety-five! In September!

This calls for one cheers with something chilled…

Shut off the oven and let’s make Double Dark Chocolate “Choco-Tacos”.

When I didn’t order a chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich from the ice cream man at my pool growing up, you bet I was ordering a choco-taco.

I miss a good dessert taco, how about you?

So I made some today that are vegan, gluten-free, and naturally sweetened.

These ice-cream stuffed tacos are the best way to extend the summer sweetness a while longer.

Easy savory and sweet avocado boats. Fill with savory spiced chickpeas and a sweet and chunky strawberry salsa. Serve with a glass of Bourgogne Aligote!

Hi guys!

How was your weekend?

A lot has happened behind the scenes here at F&V since we last chatted.

The biggest thing being that I got a new camera after my Canon LCD screen died last week.

I’ve known for a while that I need to have an additional camera for backup (just in case!) so this seemed like a good a time as any to take the hint from the universe and make it happen.

So I’ve been busy playing around with new features and settings.

Another big thing was the creation of these Sweet & Savory Avocado Boats with Strawberry Salsa and Bourgogne Aligoté.

They’re packed with fresh flavors perfect for a sweet Mother’s day brunch or appetizer!

Happy Thanksgiving, friends!

Are you busy making all of the things?

I always talk up the spread I’m going to make for the big day, excited to show my family and friends just how cool plants are even on “turkey day”.

But, if you’re overly ambitious like me, sometimes some of those dishes just don’t get made.

And the important thing is that you show up, yeah?

Well, and that you show up with an epic lazy girl orange offering.

If you’re scrambling for a contribution to bring to your gathering, you really can’t go wrong with a seasonal dip.

Vegan & Grain-Free Sweet Potato Casserole

By Flora & Vino 6 Comments

Healthier sweet potato casserole that’s low sugar, gluten-free, and grain-free with a pecan cookie crumble. Perfect to share with family as a holiday side!

Confession: I may or may not have started listening to Christmas music this week.

In my defense, I always feel a few weeks ahead of the rest of the world because in the “blogger-sphere” we constantly anticipate the upcoming seasonal recipes.

Dan came downstairs and told me it was a little weird, seeing as how it wasn’t Thanksgiving and all.

Ok, ok. We can give thanks first.

In my last post, I talked about how Thanksgiving sides rule, so today I want to introduce you to the one side that rules them all.

This Vegan & Grain-Free Sweet Potato Casserole is low in sugar and super easy to whip up in advance for your guests this week!

All you need are a bunch of taters and a cookie crumble topping!

Let’s get casserole-ing.

You guys are going to love this casserole as a healthy side for the whole family.

If you’re like me, I probably had you at sweet potato, but I’ll continue anyway.

Ahem.

It’s lightly sweet, nutty, and warm, while being packed with some serious Vitamin A, healthy fats and protein.

I’m talking smashed sweet potatoes, pure maple syrup, cinnamon, shredded coconut, and toasted pecans.

It’s also gluten-free, grain-free, vegan, paleo, and low sugar, making it ideal for guests of all lifestyles and diets!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve, everyone!

How is your holiday so far?

My day has consisted of a little dancing to Christmas music a day early, a lot of time scampering around the kitchen with the oven on, and a TON of sighing when I receive ANOTHER Black Friday email.

(Note to self: Do a Digital Minimalism Detox…see text below!)

If you’re like me, you’ve probably seen your fair share of stuffed veggies scrolling across Instagram in the past week, but how about stuffed fruits?

These Nutty Stuffed Pears are baked to perfection and stuffed with an irresistible spiced nut-butter filling.

They’d be the perfect light dessert after all of the good food we’re going to enjoy tomorrow!

Strawberry Quinoa Salad with Zesty Lime Tahini

By Flora & Vino 1 Comment

Fresh and light 1-bowl quinoa salad celebrating strawberry season and spring vegetables with a zippy oil-free lime tahini dressing.

Did I ever tell you about that time I went strawberry picking?

I showed up at the farm with my sunhat and gardening gloves, ready for the romance of picking beautiful red fruit from the ground while seated daintily in the shade.

Well, let me tell you, strawberry picking is not that picturesque.

I stood hunched over under the beating sun, squinting through the shrubbery for flashes of red berry, sweat collecting in the rim of my sunhat, my basket of berries only a quarter full.

Every berry into the bucket was a success, and every berry chucked onto the ground…was probably overripe and buggy.

But friends, the good ones were SO GOOD.

It’s strawberry season again and I know just what to do with them.

Something like…toasted quinoa tossed with sweet strawberries, peppery radishes, crunchy snap peas, tender peas, and fresh herbs, tied together with a bright lime tahini dressing.

These days I mostly purchase my strawberries from the store, but that doesn’t mean I’m not willing to work for my berries.

This Strawberry Herb Quinoa Salad, however, hardly requires much work at all; just 1-bowl and less than 30 minutes.

That way you can spend more time outside, enjoying the warmer weather, or, picking more berries.
