[@normafig924]

Yes please show more.... I am 59 years old and learning to do veganism recipes. You are teaching me how to meal prep which is great. thank you for taking the time to share your recipes.

[@__mcat]

also learning how to at 22!!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

amazing! thank you for watching and your support

[@DC-vs1wy]

Same here at 51

[@TheOrganicGypsy]

Same here. At 41! 😊

[@joyfulchild2003]

Me too at 50

[@association4122]

I am glad to see those over 40 and 50 are eating Vegan.... Not only did I make the change for my health, I did it after i saw what these poor animals go through prior to their slaughter. I hope that many more will see that eating a plant base diet is healthy and helps with longevity.

[@SonyaaJaynee]

You have truly helped with my vegan journey. Your approach of food fits with my lifestyle. Thank you so much

[@CheapLazyVegan]

that's amazing. thank you so much for your comment!

[@madisonmcknight2591]

just wanted to say your intro song makes me smile everytime. its so happy.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

Awww yay =)

[@kimsloan1365]

madison mcknight...... I totally agree, I love the intro song!

[@JaciniaPerez]

Patties look scrumptious fried. Love the amount of veggies you packed into the box. UGH can't wait for my landlord to fix our oven. Life sucks without baked foods and I really miss your baked pink bean burgers =(

[@kimsloan1365]

Love love love these bento box meal preps!! Can’t wait to make the lentil tofu patties as well as the spinach side dish!! Thanks for all your interesting, quirky, informative and fun videos!! Love your channel!!

[@HannahMagdalena]

I made these patties using red split lentils as they are easier to digest and that's what I had on hand, I used only one teaspoon of oil and added a little bit more dark mushroom soy sauce and spices (curry -cumin and smoked paprika) they taste AMAZING, they are super cheap, filling, easy to make and full of iron and protein! thank you so much for these amazing recipes

[@MissFortune07]

I like this. My food doesn't always look fancy either. Thank you for making a meal prep full of protein. I workout regularly, so I notice protein helps me reach my goals.

[@maryhall916]

Love all your recipes. I’m 70 and just learning to be vegan. Really hard to learn how to shop and cook all over again. Thanks for making it look so easy.

[@joeltonyee4304]

The video hasn't stared yet and I have already liked!!!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

thank you so much!

[@KatieDickinson]

Definitely going to try to make those patties! Love that you're adding Korean recipes in - I lived there for 4 years and I miss the food so much!

[@handmadebyhancock]

I wonder how it'd taste with smoked tofu. I love smoked flavor!

[@kirstinsingmeuangthong1847]

Carly Marciniak I bet u could add liquid smoke to the patties

[@bellaluvv6159]

Love the bento boxes! Gimme gimme more gimme more gimme gimme! 😋😋😋

[@paulveg8524]

[@bootslawless]

i love the meal prep videos! good work!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

thank you! :)

[@susanhardcastle6039]

Yes would love to see more videos. I just bought 2 compartment bento boxes on Amazon and trying to get ideas for some meals to start off next week in style.

[@ItsMiss5p1d3r5]

All of your stuff gives me such good ideas for meals of my own! Thank-you for always making my lunches interesting and never boring!

[@kirstinsingmeuangthong1847]

I want to add that bell pepper sashimi u made in another video but other than that I can't wait to try it. I have been a vegetarian for almost 19 years (started when I was 12) but I have wanted to try going vegan for the past 5 years so I love all ur yummy recipes and I can't wait for the next one

[@CheapLazyVegan]

amazing!!! thank you so much

[@victoralmonte1694]

Love it all. Can you please make a video with all your favorite dishes and the cooking videos ? thanks !

[@victoralmonte1694]

[@batki2596]

Yes please show more mark ideas like this. This is great. Blessings

[@irinakrayzman3235]

This was just perfect, more videos please :)

[@CheapLazyVegan]

definitely! thank you :)

[@CallMeNains]

More bento meal preps!! I'd love one that is like a $20 bento weekly meal prep! 😍

[@Narnendil]

The paddies seem delicious! Will definitely try that recipe!

[@CouponStar]

Omgoodness the last time I did one of your burger recipes I was soooo grateful it made so many after I ate the first and found how delicious it was. I froze a bunch and was my go to meal forever. Love these!!! Thank you!!

[@cutingirl]

Great video! I am going to make this. Love to see more like this! Your recipes are my go-to: simple, easy, delicious. Thank you!

[@ravotjudith9054]

I love the music you use it makes your videos so different

[@Geraland13]

Yes please, more meal prep videos! Hope you get better 💚

[@bretcrooks6192]

those Bento boxes are a great way to have pre-made lunch for the week, new vegan n i love your videos recipes etc as well as hot for food y'all are making me transition to veganism super easy so thank you so much and keep up the great work

[@randallcrafter4995]

Thank you so much for your videos. They are so helpfully to those of us attempting to transition to a healthier diet and lifestyle. Btw, if you're worried about the oil, try flax seed oil. It's a much healthier alternative to pretty much any other cooking oil you can use. Peace, love and good health. God bless.

[@whiteedk]

Omg this was so good. Hands down the best vegan patties I have ever made. And that spinach is awesome. I’m not vegan or vegetarian. But I really wanted to try this and it’s amazing.

[@talkwalking2912]

Yes, please! More bento box style meal prep. Also, where do you find the containers?

[@Rhonda308]

Please do more Bento Box meal preps!! I need these to lose weight easier.

[@OceanPancake]

This is probably my dream lunches! I'm very excited to try this.

[@humanbeing7153]

giiiirl,bento box preps r good idea. also, wish u to get well very soon!

[@Nitroooo160]

I started the vegan diet about a month ago but I've watched your videos since a long time ago cuz they're just so cool😭👏👏

[@thaliademontserrat3195]

please! tell us about your favorite kitchen gadgets that you use! thank you

[@danijohnson1038]

Yes more bento box recipes please!

[@TG-ob5fn]

TY sooo much! I'm going out of town to visit my son's friend & his family. They are from Korea, parents came here for college & relocated for work, they are very considerate & try to prepare food for us but struggle. I always wanted to bring something we all can eat...simple, vegan & korean. this maybe it! any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[@dejennerate]

YOOOOOO theses recipes look DELISH! I can't wait to try them all some time soon! If that was coconut lime rice I think the overall bento would be 10/10 lit but I still give you a solid 8.5/10 :D my bf would probably really enjoy this for lunch.

[@iheartmac2010]

those look yummy. If you want to add more flavor to the lentils. use a whole peeled onion and stud it with dried whole cloves.. and cut a turnip in the pan with the onion .. cook both with the lentils.. take the onion and turnip out when soft..

[@greendalin]

omg the spinach recipe was surprisingly so good!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

yessss!!!

[@maipensapparot]

Looks great and I'm sure it's tasty as well

[@eunesslee]

random but I like the music you used! and I love your meal prep vids~

[@romanticashale]

everything here looks so good

[@jeanessa8095]

I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but I love these recipes! The lentil patties are soooo good

[@LoreleiMission]

Ready to start trying stuff like this -- I got meal prep containers for Xmas!

[@iheartmac2010]

hello. great ideas.. love this video..i heard if you stud a whole onion with whole cloves, and cut a turnip and put them into the lentils while it's cooking,, suppose too turn out very, very good.. I just cook mine with salt and some spices, or just plain with salt. vegan food is so colorful and pretty.

[@elsalisa146]

Yes ! More bento boxes! Your food looks great and this is going to be a staple for me! And I don't really like lentils. Also from a health stand point oil and fat are not bad for you. Just make sure it's organic or non GMO. Can you do those great little salads that go with biminbop?

[@deerinheadlights9784]

Does anyone know if the bento 🍱 boxes are leak proof? There's too many to choose from on amazon, so I appreciate the recommendations- I like the idea of using those instead of mason jars like I normally use---I enjoy these meal prep ideas. Thanks -This one seems pretty simple, cheap, tasty, and nutritious. I may try the salad with Bok choy and the burger with red lentils, and sub the brown rice for white quinoa since that's what I have ✌🏽❤👍🏽

[@CheapLazyVegan]

hmmm not sure if the ones that I used are leak proof - although the lids do seem to close very tightly!

[@elsalisa146]

There are lots of options, look for some thing reusable, usually anything from Japan should be good.. You can put plastic wrap over the food then put on the lid,( but I don't like plastic), then put the lid on. Then I slip a fat rubber band over the box and put it in a big ziplock bag. :) good luck and your combo sounds great.

[@deerinheadlights9784]

Ok, thanks!

[@cutingirl]

I shelled out for two Monbento from Amazon. They are pricey, but good quality. I haven't had any leaking issues. I wash them by hand.

[@deerinheadlights9784]

They look like high quality (hadn't heard of them until you mentioned them. Is this the one you have: www.amazon.com/Monbento-Original-Black-Bento-Box/dp/B00DC29MRU/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1490640900&sr=1-1&keywords=monbento Thanks.They're not insulated are they? I'm contemplating klean canteen also for leak proof and insulated (they're having a sale for a few days untili the 31st I believe. Any thoughts on those?

[@Starlynn29]

YES! MORE!! Love Bento!!!

[@beautyyfitness3227]

Looks yummmm💚💛

[@__mcat]

this looks realllly good! i'm going to try this soon :)

[@marylmartin671]

def trying this meal prep looks good

[@jhellygirl]

thank you so much for all this wonderful ideas...

[@catherineogrady8773]

Deffo. . I love the. look. of your finished meals in these boxes . Actually they look like a dinner of days gone by . Not so much for me but my Husband.

Greetings from Ireland. . ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️🥰🥰

[@cleadbetter9911]

Great ideas! can't wait to try!

[@savvyshoppingmomma5474]

These patties look SO YUMMY! Plus I currently have 2lbs of spinach I need to use. Just to be clear; you mentioned freezing the lentil patties. Would I freeze them prior to frying them? Can I bake them and then freeze? Or would that make them crumble? Thanks for all of your amazing content! You help make this busy momma's crazy days just a touch easier as I often use you recipes as dinner inspo.

[@ramonasnowflakeguy5924]

great idea, always love your videos

[@TheOrganicGypsy]

Love your pajama pants. 😀 awesome recipes. Thank you!!

[@janetc8315]

girl they are tasty looking!...thank you for sharing 😊

[@barbarabrown9834]

food looks advertising yummy I must try and yes I would like to see more😄💯

[@aline_yuhsuan]

More meal prep please!

[@Shelf_Improvement]

Where did you get those awesome bento boxes? All the ones I've seen are really expensive, but I know you got these on the cheap 😉

[@toBe8ere]

Sheryl dollar store plastic divided containers, I think

[@Craftspirationz]

I'm new to meal prepping and I was wondering if it's healthy/safe to store food for so long in the fridge? Also, do you heat up your meals before eating them or do you eat them cold? Hope someone can help me out here, thank you in advance!!

[@MrsTumachina]

Kelly Ong it stores longer because there is no meat/dairy and it depends on your preferences of you want to eat it hot oder cold

[@MrsTumachina]

Kelly Ong and you can freeze the boxes which you eat at the end of the week

[@mariannewaszak8253]

I love bento box lunches !! Thanks for all your work on your videos 😊 I did buy your ebook I love it Thanks again Marianne

[@WeightlossfactswithEJ]

so inspiring to make videos like these of my own

[@EatMyPonytail]

I watch and love all your videos! Just wondering, what is the research to suggest that oil, especially in small quantities, is bad for you? From what I understand healthy fats are useful and essential to a complete diet, and it's the refined carbs and sugars that actually cause problems!

[@alexandrawruck5786]

EatMyPonytail Dr Gregors site nutrition facts has lots of information on it. It's only fat in oil form. Avocado and nuts are still healthy. It has to do with oil slowing down blood vessel function

[@yuame]

A wee bit of oil doesn't do harm, of course which kinds of it would matter.

[@Narnendil]

Yes, good fats like extra virgin olive oil in small amounts is just good for you. Actually necessary for the human body to function properly.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

fats are definitely essential! but many plant-based doctors suggest that oil is not good for you because it's a completely refined fat. I don't think it's bad to have a little oil though, but i think we as a society probably consume too much haha. Anyway, it is better to consume non-refined fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, etc.

[@77kriton]

I have hypothyroidism and I function and lose weight when I cook with coconut oil. My skin is also more softer. Not sure about the hair, I have dreads 😜

[@Razzlewolfflight]

Pretty sure the word you're looking for is "absorbed," as in the lentils soaked it up. Either that or "evaporated", meaning it boiled off. Water can't dissolve. It CAN dissolve things.

[@ginas.6656]

Looks good to me. How do you re-heat the frozen ones...oven or micro?

[@lexus007lmlm]

yes, more bento box recipes! 😋

[@sashajones840]

loved the video girl, keep up the good work, from aus x

[@fakelunacy]

please do make more bento lunch videos! also , just wondering why you don't sort the lentils? All the lentils I've bought said to sort to get rid of debris :O btw, where did you get that knife? it's kinda cute lol XD

[@princessnaomi6856]

patties using tofu instead of beans is much more appealing to me because I dont love beans, unfortunately I don't eat soy😭 I always put brussel sprouts in my meal preps and I use containers just like these! so cheap and convenient

[@AshleyJudeReviews]

You need to get an instant pot and do some recipes with that... because instant pot is life :) Seriously though, I love your videos and I live in Canada as well!

[@buzzingnoise]

My diet is vegan, wheat free and low sodium. Honestly being creative has never been so hard.

[@Britbabe53]

love it! more please...

[@austingulotta9817]

Oil isn't bad for us, it's great! Flax and canola oil have DHA/ALA in them when are vital for mental and heart health. Saturated and trans fats aren't very good, but the others are awesome in moderation!

[@iamalexandra.]

Austin Gulotta They do contain ALA, not DHA.

[@rfnjnjh7103]

And one more question. Does the food prepared in bulk taste nice on Thursday and Friday?

[@MalinaCC]

lol this is something I'd actually cook and eat! Aesthetically pleasing recipes are nice and all, but I'd probably never enjoy them lol would love to see more like these :)

[@naomihukes8283]

Yes, show more

[@PatchaXEtaw]

The background music sounds christmasy. :D

[@supernovag91]

The music is so nice for background

I'd love to order these containers. Which ones did you get?

[@victoriawilliams4573]

Are the measuring cups and spoons you use available on Amazon?

[@kimlynnybaby]

Hahaha I'm delusional when I'm sick too 😂😂. That comment made me laugh out loud

[@veroniek7175]

looks great! just wondering, after you heat the patties up in the microwave do they not soften a bit or do they dry out? I bet they still taste amazing tho

[@braininflightmode6432]

Do you freeze all the prepped boxes? I want to start meal prepping but I don‘t really know how to keep the boxes fresh

[@bec4296]

omg im definitely going to do this

[@CallMeNains]

Reminds me of meatloaf burgers! Yummm!! 🍔🍔🍔Fry them in olive, coconut or avocado oil. Then you're getting some good fats :) My son and I love cooked spinach, but not raw. So I'm def going to try that, but with coconut aminos! Yummm!

[@carableu]

I love 🍱 bento boxes!

[@rfnjnjh7103]

Can I use frozen spinach for this side dish from the video?

[@UniqueaPraise]

For the "patties", what about salt? I see you didn't add any; does it need it or not?

[@iheartmac2010]

yay.. I miss your meal prep video's. and grocery hauls.. great video's.. if you come across quorn products. there delish.. the brand was in the UK. but finally came into the states. only certain grocery store's carry them.. and they go fast. your recipes look amazing. .great food porn...

[@animechickie18]

How long can the patties be kept in the freezer?

[@DarklightAmy]

Random question and totally fine if you don't answer.. i'm wonderng how you reheat this bento boxes? Do you pop them in the microwave or reheat each thing individually in a pot or just eat it cold?

[@CheapLazyVegan]

I just pop in the microwave and heat it directly in the bento boxes! =)

[@LilouYeah]

Do you think I can mak this without tofu? I don't have some in my fridge atm

[@xPumpkinWitchx]

How do you cook the patties from frozen?

[@VeryNiceandall]

when you meal prep, do you prep all parts of the day (breakfast, lunch, dinner) or just for one part of the day (I assume that this would be dinner)? my only issue with meal prep is that it would force you to eat the same for multiple consecutive days. isn't that hard? why do you do meal prep, to make sure you hit the right macros for you? or to save time? as you might guess, this is all new to me, but I'm thinking of doing this for my fitness goals. greetings, btw love your videos!! gochujang is now my new spice staple xd!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

It depends on the meal prep! I very rarely meal prep for every single meal - although I have done that before. Sometimes, I just make extra meals so that I have stuff on hand for when I don't want to cook. I also like to freeze some stuff so that I don't necessarily have to eat the exact same thing for the whole week. You could make two different types of meals and alternate?

[@kozak0v854]

for how long can the patties stay freezed?

[@theresawilmake]

LOVE this, more please!~
