Lazy "No Time to Meal Prep" Vegan Meal Prep in One Hour (REALISTIC)

[@7nochannel]

I'm too busy to care about instagrammable food or anything original just give me a lazy, yummy and nutritious meal plan and I'm suuuuper happy. Thank you

[@CheapLazyVegan]

haha you've come to the right placE! thanks for watching xoxo

[@darrekasmith8008]

Literally lol

[@benda777nba]

agreed! I dont do instagram and hate when people are like pictures for the gram...im hungry I want to eat!!

[@TheMeshal33]

When you do these I think it would be great to add a “grocery list” in the description box

[@skelly013]

@Nina Meraud Stagnaro please add the grocery list. This is a great video but trying to jot down the list myself is proving difficult.

[@canadey97]

EXACTLY

[@jinaedinisci159]

LeeMisha, I was thinking the same thing

[@GapNap13]

ehm just go to the blog linked in the description box. There are all the recepies of all videos written down. www.thecheaplazyvegan.com

[@CheapLazyVegan]

Is this helpful?? Relatable? Let me know! Check out my other vegan meal prep videos ♡ - bit.ly/1U55K9W

[@french1375]

Very helpful. Much appreciated. I meal prep every week (1 year strong!) and often do exactly how you did. Make "basic" style meals and then add other flavors, sauces, etc when I eat them.

[@queentosheable]

Yes! Keep them comming! This is more typical we aint got time for hard to find ingredients & shizz....ha!

[@Clxis88]

heck yes! I'm trying to slowly start going vegan and have been binge watching videos trying to figure out how to get more creative with meals! haha

[@sandrah5824]

Yes, super helpful and relate-able! I eat most meals at home, but I'm cheap and need quick, easy, healthy meals! I love watching your videos for inspiration, especially since you're conscious about adding protein as well. I need to try that salsa bean mixture!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

wooot!

[@AnnaDeeDee]

Idea for the broccoli stems: I slice them really fine lengthwise (e.g. with a peeler) and eat them with some salt, olive oil and black pepper, kind of like salad. It looks fancy and tastes delicious :)

[@Yowzabowzaa]

AnnaDeeDee so don’t just toss them in the trash? 😮😄

[@xcavation123]

add to soups and puree

[@AnnaDeeDee]

@@l.j.2043 Yeah. The outside is a little tough, so I don't use the "first shaving" or the last, but the rest is great

[@CheapLazyVegan]

omg are you like a chef that sounds so smart

[@Rennie212]

Yowzabowzaa they’re perfectly edible throwing them away is wasteful

[@floresistance]

also for the mushrooms- i recommend putting them on a pan WITHOUT any oil etc, just add a good amount of pepper and salt, and most importantly let it 'evaporate' without any cover on, since they will let out their water. that way they taste waaay better.

[@merandasomnolentgamer8323]

Your "lazy" videos are helping me move toward a plant-based diet, so thank you. :)

[@krsextonart]

Thank you for using store-bought salsa. I've been searching for vegan/vegetarian meal videos and everyone makes EVERYTHING from scratch and it looks exhausting. Scares me away from meal prepping/healthy cooking. I appreciate this so much!

[@saraamelia6302]

For the overnight oatmeal just mix all the dry stuff and to keep it from being super mushy u don't need to add the liquid into all the oat containers. U can do it for each day a night before so they won't oversoak

[@JDlovescats979]

I always just use steel cut oats instead of traditional/rolled oats. They're a bit tougher so they easily withstand a week long soak but get soft enough to eat after a one night soak.

[@Kx____]

thank you so much rose, because of a lifetime illness i'm stuck to bed a LOT being too ill and i can meal prep once in a while and this helps so much so that at least i can have a decent meal during the days i'm extremely ill

[@RandomMusicBox]

I use veggie scraps to make stock. Something warm to drink in the morning.

[@amoureux6502]

Love the mismatched containers, feels very down-to-earth

[@MeanderingMeagan4]

To your grammar question...it is "the next protein we're going to use IS beans," because "is" defines "protein," which is singular.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

thank you! I knew it sounded weird LOL

[@---ie2ms]

MeanderingMeagan Isn't it wrong to say "protein" instead of "bean"? Kinda annoys me when people say they're eating carbs when biting into an apple.

[@MeanderingMeagan4]

We can talk about if something is misleading or inaccurate, but that doesn't mean the sentence containing the info is grammatically incorrect. Identifying what the main source of protein in a meal is, I think using "the protein is..." makes sense. The most important thing about language/grammar is that the intended idea is conveyed effectively.

[@MeanderingMeagan4]

@@andheartts Sure lol. I would say you could add "beans are the next SOURCE of protein..." the important thing is it doesn't matter

[@---ie2ms]

@@MeanderingMeagan4 True

[@kristinbarrows7919]

Thank you Rose! These videos may seem over simple to you, but I am just moving family over to whole foods plant based dinners and have NO clue. I am so happy to follow quick nutritious meal ideas - no recipes. The way you put lentils in the rice, mixed beans already on hand, flavored tofu and seasoned steamed veggies is all I need. You motivate me to make some staples for the week and get dinner whipped together speedy quick! Love it :) :) :)

[@ErikMunneke6714]

Nice to see you using the broccoli stem! Stems and leaves of broccoli, cauliflower, kale etc is perfectly edible. It’s rediculous that people only use such a small amount of all those veg, while almost the whole plant is perfectly edible. Fun fact: cabbage and brassicas plants are about 1m2, the broccoli/cauliflower florets are only about 15% of the plant and are actually the flowers! By the way, no need to peel the carrot at all. The most nutrition and flavour are in the skin!

[@daleyeager8576]

I didn’t know that the leaves from cauliflower and broccoli are edible, makes sense though. Thanks for letting us know. Another green!

[@Bldveg]

“just pick things off the floor later know what i’m sayin” YES i always make too much i definitely feel that lol

[@BedCrunch]

I just discovered this. And I kid you not - this is exactly my style of cooking! Not only, this has exactly my inner narrative while I am doing it. LOL! Sistas of wok overflow! Why wash dishes! Fry frozen stuff you dont quite remember what is! Add random sauce! Pick some food from the floor! Love it love it love it! Pour some spices you have no clue what they are (I do sniff them to guess if they fit) on top.

[@editsglobe3331]

Awesome ideas for how to use up the leftover stuff int the forgotten realms of the fridge or freezer! I love it! This is a huge part of being a food blogger! Food is not always about taking a picture to Instagram, it's about to nourish us throughout our crazy busy life!

[@jennifernichole2301]

I found this helpful! Rather than keeping a HUGE POT of food in the refrigerator I can make stackable plates that can be popped in the microwave. Thank you Rose!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

i'm so glad you found it helpful!! thanks for watching xoxo

[@penelopedavies3888]

Ppy2

[@skyrose1756]

I've never had luck with lentils. I've always boiled them and then drained them rather than treating them like rice and waiting for them to absorb liquid. I like them mixed into pasta sauce with whole wheat pasta - great post workout high protein meal

[@patriciasarkkinen5074]

This is EXACTLY the video I needed😭💖 you are a lifesaver girl!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

woohoo!

[@kallisi7625]

I always love your meal prep vids, because you don't use anything fancy and I know I've got rice and random beans somewhere in my cupboard so yhis is completely feasible :D thank u

[@intotheblue222]

Kallisi yess

[@CheapLazyVegan]

yayy!!! my laziness is paying off haha :) thanks for watching xoxo

[@fuel4luv28]

mmmhhh....random beans...

[@DanicaB]

We love a lazy queen

[@CheapLazyVegan]

teehee :)

[@lujitsu1251]

Danica B you definitely hit the gene pool lottery.

[@VeganLiving247]

Watching your videos helps me be less wasteful. Why don’t I freeze my beans I can never finish? There’s soooo many beans in a can. It’s common sense but I need to freeze things more often 👍 Thanks for the video! 💞

[@stephanien5815]

outside of the Broccoli stems can be hard ; it could be helpful to remove the outside part, the inside is so soft and moist !!!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

thanks for the tip! :)

[@irinam8709]

Yes, just peel it:)

[@starlynnnance5495]

"This isn't Michelin Star, this is Cheap Lazy Vegan." I love you. This is my favorite channel. Don't tell HCH. :)

[@sarahbragg2322]

YAAASS!!! Broccoli stems are still broccoli. Why do foodies throw shade at those poor stems. I eat ‘em. Your videos are the BEST.

[@BRINpeterson]

I always squeeze fresh lemon and/or lime on my veggies for a nice pop of extra flavor without needing oil, salt or butter.

[@sensiblecrime7699]

There are two different kinds of fiber in broccoli. The stems and crowns have different kinds. I take my broccoli stems and cut them into small pieces and toss them with rice.

[@FHangya]

one tip though is to put the stem in first into the water for like 10m. It will be as soft as the florettes later on

[@PengiChyan]

Its not lazy its smart and efficient. Love these videos

[@melmoroll]

I didn't even know people actually throw broccoli stem away

[@1Inked4Heart3]

Seriously though. Eat it ! 🤤

[@DreamDear]

I knew the stem was edible but idk why I didn’t think to eat it until now

[@pippetandpossum]

I don't like them. I'm open to new ways to cook them though!

[@baileydavis1786]

My mom loves them but I don’t so when I make broccoli I keep the stems, bag them, and take them by her house before I go to school

[@povnayeli]

Omg thanks for telling us about the broccoli stems.... 😶 I’ve always thrown them out because they are too hard and that’s just what my mom has always done. Will no longer be wasting any stems! haha kind of sucks how I just ate a lot of broccoli and wasted the stems though :(

[@Lemonade9.15]

Do people not eat the broccoli stem?? I love the stem!!

[@caylee246]

Please keep doing more videos like this. These are by far my favorite videos!! Love you!

[@theresaduffy8222]

This is exactly how I make overnight oats- use leftovers, vary it a little, cover all the macros 😀

[@josephinesantiago6776]

I’m about to go shopping to make this can I know which one in the container is lunch so I can add my own ingredients to it too thank you 🥰

[@pinkpixiepopp]

What is the safest way to reheat rice please? I always worry about 're heating them, great videos 💖

[@Sweetpea5767]

Just a fyi I was curious about how much protein in the chickpeas and how much protein in the black eyed peas you cooked. The Chickpeas have 39g of protein for 1 cup and Black eyed peas have 16g for 1 cup. =D

[@allison4882]

wow, a cup of chickpeas provides a lot! I appreciate your comment!

[@brazilian-lady9175]

WOW!!! I love that you show that you wash the vegetables. Great job!! Love you videos! Thank you

[@georginamuns44]

You are AWESOME!!!! Who has time to cook! I love the simplicity of your meal preparation... you have a new follower sweetie 🤗🤗

[@iriskost]

I used to cook brown rice and lentils together and it worked perfectly! What you should do is use a long grain rice and not the short grain (Basmati is the best) and after soaking it together with the lentils - just put the same amount of water- 1 cup : 2 cups of water. If you add some stir fry/ caramelized onion it’s called Mujadra - one of the best middle eastern dishes :)

[@dellah7507]

Brokkoli stems are super delicious! But you need to cut of the dark green part on the outside so it’s not as hard anymore.

[@doomxgal]

I can’t find smoked tofu anywhere and having to order is kind of an inconvenience. Is there a substitute for that? I’m still not sure how to work with tofu yet

[@echoequani8326]

My favorite hack to have cleaner and better looking mushrooms. Remove the stem, in the inner part of the mushroom ,grab a corner and peel back all the way to the top of the mushroom and repeat until you have peeled the whole mushroom!

[@dostagirl9551]

I peel the broccoli stems and use them in salads. They're absolutely delicious!

[@maryt4603]

Pro tip....u can soak your produce in your sink. Fill er up put your fruits and veggies in and drop some white vinegar in there. The vinegar is a natural way to clean thoroughly. I personally can't just run water over my stuff.

[@9melissal]

What's Saveg on the sweatshirts?

[@brittanywatkins6882]

I hate wasting food too. When ever I have veggie scraps or even some that start to get wilted and know I wont be able to use it in time I love to put them in a containeer and throw it in the freezer. Once I have a full container I make a veggie broth out of it.

[@natchnieni0]

Can you please tell us what shopping with Thrive is like? Is it like Sam's Club? Are the items cheaper after the annual fee? Is it bulk or regular size stuff? And do you do local shopping... Ever? Farmer's market or Price Chopper? Thanks

[@onestrongchickpea1212]

thanks for mentioning the broccoli stem, I cannot stand how everyone throws them away!!! lol I love chopping them and adding them in! sometimes I even freeze the pieces of the stem and throw it in the blender when im making a smoothie

[@floresistance]

welp, i want the fridge space for this.......

[@CheapLazyVegan]

I just shove it in and hope for the best

[@maario24]

Do you have to put them in the freezer or they are still good the 4th day on the fridge?

[@1594lex]

This is so realistic and relatable! I always want to meal prep but never have a lot of time to get it done. Plus sometimes I'm just not very creative with my meals and don't always know what things to pair together. 😹

[@BizAndProductReviews]

Thank you for this video. Historically I have been really bad at preparing more than one meal at a time, but you made this meal prep so simple that even I should be able to make it work!!👍

[@KR-po1eb]

New to the channel. I’m enjoying so far. I’m in the process of changing my diet. Thanks for your help

[@betty3717]

Hey can you warm up the overnight oats to eat warm instead of eating them cold? Just a thought. I love hot coffee in the morning but can’t imagine having it with cold oats. Thank and I really like this video I’m willing to try it thus coming week. I appreciate your feedback 😁

[@Heatevjfv]

Hey Rose , question ... is it really important to wash your veggies ? I have never done this step because I am so lazy .

Great realistic video! QQ, is it safe to make rice in advance? I was always told you should never reheat rice for food poisoning reasons. Thanks!!

[@catiacho]

I love all your food preps! Thanks for such amazing tips!

[@AussieMumVLOGS]

Is this also good for weight loss? Which beans are they

[@TimWard-v6e]

can you reheat the meals they look so good

What do you use for a rice cooker?

[@aimeetrudgian4980]

How long do the veggies last sealed in the fridge? I always get super cautious once they've been cut and have to eat them the same day 🙈 I'm honestly so bad at meal prepping I'm paranoid it will do hard and dry and yucky 😂 like if you cut a carrot and leave it out on the side and it goes weird

[@lesliesaraiva7270]

The broccoli stems are my favorite. I peel off the outside and cut it up the way you did. Very sweet and delish!

[@pinklickpony]

How easy is it heat these meals? BTW it all looks delish. X

Do u freeze the ones for day 3 and 4 or does it stay good so long in the fridge? I couldn't imagine it staying good so long 🤔 I've always been wondering this about meal prepping. Thanks for the amazing video

With meal preps, the reco is to eat the ones with fresh ingredients first in the week.
