LAZY VEGAN Meals I Eat For 100g Protein

[@groovinmagic6290]

Merle, you freaking get it. This is totally actually lazy cooking, the amount of dishes/utensils needing to be cleaned is like nothing. It all looks so good. THANK YOU!!!

[@Toyah3]

I can't comment which is weird. I've been on KZbin for 5k years and this is the first time I can't make an original comment but I love this level of laziness if you see this, Merle.

[@MerleONeal]

I’m so glad you like it!!! I’m lazy as hell- a main part of it is dishes

LOVE these, please do more! 🖤 I joke that I'm "lazy" but the fact is that there are days now where I *can't* stand for any length of time in the kitchen. If you're physically limited or mentally tapped out, you deserve wonderful, nutritious food too and these are things I can also make a little extra of for the times I just stand in front of the refrigerator and shovel like a gremlin.

[@MerleONeal]

I will absolutely do some more lazy meal compilations! It's def a win-win for me!

[@Chewtubehuskyhouse]

Merle coming through for the insomnia crew 💯

[@MerleONeal]

That was an accident but I’m happy you’re happy 😅

[@exazapperNy2853]

The pasta is the perfect balance of lazy and flavourful. Also saw it on Ben's Instagram and really looking forward to trying it. Especially with lentil noodles for extra protein

[@katielouise210]

really appreciate these kind of videos merle!! honestly as someone with a brain that can have many 'blegh' moments sometimes i really feel like cooking is the last thing i want to do. but us depressed folk deserve nutritious and delicious food too and stuff like this makes achieving this that much easier 💙

[@MerleONeal]

Aw I'm really happy that you found this to be helpful! I'll absolutely be doing more of these lazy recipes!! I'll aim to make em even LAZIER

[@kimmiej192]

OK, MERLE X SKIMS!!! Get that coin, girl. Love this for you ❤

[@catwoman4921]

I really appreciate that you broke down serving sizes in the description notes. At first, I got a little concerned that I'd need to eat a really high volume of food to get 100 grams of protein but that's not the case at all.

[@MerleONeal]

You're very welcome!!

[@jasmintreloar2308]

Loved everything about this video! So approachable and very thoughtfully made, thank you for this ❤

[@MerleONeal]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kellyreadingbooks]

LOVE THIS VIDEO! And if you’re an IBS tummy issue girlie like me you could do 1/2 beans 1/2 tofu :) so awesome!! And thanks for these being more allergen friendly without treenuts or seeds thank you thank you. More of these videos please

[@eskovich]

3am is Merle o'clock

[@Shackbanshee]

I needed this. I'm not a vegan but I do shoot for 2 plant based meals in a day and I do suffer from chronic pain/fatigue, so lazy is needed

[@MerleONeal]

Glad you liked it!!!

[@steamyvegan]

Perfect lazy recipes for my crazy week...really appreciate it Merle! I'll be making the smoothie this morning!

[@MerleONeal]

Enjoy it!! And make sure you use frozen bananas or add ice - I didn’t show that in the vid but it’ll make it better 😊

[@auralglory]

Stumbled across your channel a couple of weeks ago and I am obsessed! These are so easy and delicious. Subbed and can't wait to see what else you come out with!

[@MerleONeal]

Ahhh thank you!! And welcome!

[@sparkleemojidotjpeg]

i would love more videos like this! the bean salad looks so delicious and easy. i will probably be trying that one the soonest, but i'm excited to try all of these recipes.

[@MerleONeal]

@@sparkleemojidotjpeg heck yeahhh! Thanks for the love- I hope you enjoy em!!

[@lyssarida236]

Merle, you’re the best! Thanks for some easy/ lazy day recipes!

[@MerleONeal]

You are so welcome!

[@Ayannaanicole]

I been enjoying ur content for years and it due to your diversity. Definitely trying the pasta.

[@tosca...]

Lol, yes, I love this level of lazy. It's good to have a bunch of things which are pantry-friendly/people dropping-in-unexpecredly, or, you've had a busy day and you have no time to prepare something. Well, that was a bizarre sentence. I'm too lazy to fix it. That pasta is easy enough to toss in some spinach and/or broccoli from your (maybe?) prepped items in the fridge. If I'm not able to get through my prepped broccoli or cauliflower I'll freeze it before it goes to waste. It's a great source of frozen food with little effort. I tend to like all the things I've seen you make, but I am a newbie around here, so I don't think I should be making demands at this stage. To be honest I don't feel like I'm very demanding as a general thing 😂 so, good job is my response ✌🏻

[@ruthhorndasch5244]

Yes!!! I love your day of eating lazy 😊I can’t wait to try all of these recipes but the bean salad is what I’ll make first 😁

[@MerleONeal]

I hope you love it!!!!

[@claireleonie9360]

I would not have coupled up merle with skims. I wonder if she’s really behind them or if the money is good. I don’t want to think this, I think merle has integrity… but skims?

[@Livv_it_is]

Yasss THANK YOU! I am suuch a lazy cooker and I love dishes, which I can easily throw together but I don't like a) spend tons of money for premade stuff b) compromise on taste. So you totally hit the spot!! This bean salad looks delicous. would also be yum on toast 😍

[@Pyrion93]

I will definitely try that pasta recipe 😍 I really like these protein focused ones, I've tried a bunch of your tips :)

[@tracieburrill5159]

Love these simple recipes

[@khawlahpeace1222]

Great video Merle…. Being plant based means tonssssssssss of chopping so to have some lazy meals to have around is key. I was thinking don’t they sell pimentos like bits in the jar that could work as sun for the red peppers and they are already bitty bitty so no choppy choppy . Thanks ❤

[@paperheartlily2]

Merle your blue dress at 3:25 is so cute! Can you please share where is it from? 🥰

[@MerleONeal]

Believe it or not, that was a thrifting find!!!

[@Thesparten45]

I actually really love using protein powder and would love to have new creative ways to use it

[@MerleONeal]

This is an excellent video idea

[@RachelKay528]

That bean salad with artichoke hearts looks delish and super customizable! I'd probably add some hearts of palm in there...maybe some banana peppers, pumpkin seeds, the possibilities are endless! Also, more of these lazy videos please 🤣

[@MerleONeal]

Great idea!! And heck yes to the banana peppers

[@cjaehill2378]

Everything you made look so delicious, I used to be a complete vegan, but I went back eating meat and seafood. I do love vegetables and fruits a lot and every week I make sure that there would be days that I would only eat vegan meals!

[@ankitaagrawal1036]

You should try kala chana chaat from India you will love it kind of indian version of bean salad

[@Em-wanderlust]

Made the pasta tonight. Added onions, garlic, and fresh tomatoes. So easy and delicious! Will definitely add it to the rotation.

[@catwoman4921]

This is the exact kind of video I've been looking for! thank you thank you!

[@MerleONeal]

I'm so glad! I might have to make more lazy meals, the people have spoken!!

[@gman854]

Oooo as a non vegan that bean pasta sauce looks so yummy gonna pair that up with some lentil pasta for more protein. Also Merle you got me making the TVP bolengse from that vegan babe (except I make the sauce from scratch and use legume pasta) for my whole omni family every week!

[@Raddiebaddie]

I love any lazy vegan meal prep 😋

[@MerleONeal]

Vegan meal prep is a gooood idea

[@cathleenwarner1778]

Good video, and yes, more beginner/lazy videos would be great. Trying to start a more vegan diet and need ideas-cereals, snacks and soups-thanks :)

[@MerleONeal]

Noted!

[@AdmiralPeach]

Blending up beans into a pasta sauce is just the easiest & nicest way to get more protein without feeling like you are eating tons of BEANS, also great to get kids to eat I think ☺️

[@MerleONeal]

YES beans for the win!!

[@TheTinnman]

I love how your pasta type mysteriously changed yet your clothes did not. 🙂 You thought nobody would notice. 😛

[@MerleONeal]

[@sandrodellisanti1139]

Ciao and thank you for your nice Video.. i've cooked a spicy Pasta sauce with white beans, chilibeans, much garlic, and bell paprika.. many greetings from brunswick in Germany and please stay safe 🙃

[@rubybobkowski4464]

So ready for merles mudslide smoothie next time i visit youuuuu

[@MerleONeal]

I got you bb!!

[@bellegage3312]

Instead of putting white beans and tofu in the smoothie, I think a nice non-powder protein boost would be swapping the peanut butter for PBFit and adding a couple tbsps of hemp seeds

[@candelaviso8053]

Hi girl!! Can you try the viral chickpea blondies??? I've been wanting to make them but I feel I won't like them 🥲 I want your honest opinion bc I trust you~

[@MerleONeal]

I'll look into those asap! Thank you for the trust

[@j96700]

I need to keep an eye on my sodium intake. Any insights on how to make tasty recipes with reduced sodium hacks would be great!🥰

[@jennydawson1281]

Brilliant I’m not vegan but I’m trying to eat more plant based and need more protein so this is great , I dont really like cooking so easy and quick is for me.

[@MerleONeal]

I'm glad this was helpful!

[@karenlindstrom8266]

I took screenshots of the recipes. We are going to try not to eat out the whole month of October. I will need all of the recipes I can get!! 🤭 I typically don’t use protein powders so I will likely opt for silken tofu! Thanks again!!

[@MerleONeal]

You got this!

[@alliemonreale]

The bean salad looks like it would be delicious on top of a slice of toasted sourdough and a smear of pesto. Sourdough would also add to the protein

[@mothmanbarbie5637]

Another way I like to do lazy protein-packed pasta is a chickpea pasta and then add tofu 'ricotta.' So fast and easy!

[@MerleONeal]

omgggg tofu ricotta is SUCH a good call

I’ve been struggling to get enough protein lately so thank youuu cause I’m lazy 😂 the only hard thing for me is my partner has digestion issues so everything I love is bad for him (beans, dark greens, onion, garlic…) truly tragic

[@MerleONeal]

Haha yeah that's a tough one! Glad it's helpful for you tho!

[@PeripheralPink]

omg sameee, my girlfriend recently discovered that she can't have legumes (so no tofu as well) so our shared meals are really lacking in protein lately. I'm trying to include it more in my breakfast and snacks now but it's a bit of a struggle.

[@angelm1832]

Oh I love this so much

[@jadrilicious]

Hi Merle, happy to see you're gettting the coins, but is skims actually a sustainable brand?

[@andreabellini6796]

Absolutely not

[@margarett_b]

It's funny to me that some people find chopping 3-4 ingredient "too much" while cooking pasta for example is fine for them buuut I respect this, everyone is different :D Some really delicious recipes in this one, I love how simple yet also nutritious all of these are!

[@bodyofhope]

(Disability) Pasta cooks without being babysat. Chopping requires additional standing. It's hard out here in these cooking streets.

[@jessicastevens5782]

@@bodyofhope totally get what you're saying about active vs passive labor, but an accommodation I've been making for years is that I do sit down for prep work rather than standing at the counter. something to try when you're up for it.

[@mshoneyy]

pleaseeee include calories too!!! like that smoothie looks awesome but could easily be 700-800 calories for breakfast and that could be great for some but not for others!

[@ks20227]

Love easy pasta recipes!

[@ellskell]

I bet that the bean salad would be excellent on a protein tortilla

[@MerleONeal]

yesssss!!!!

[@beckycagney5843]

As a person who's main cooking vessel is a crock pot lazier the better.

[@lindsaytoussaint]

I always see creators saying “I know some of y’all don’t like protein powder” …who? Why? Come forward and help me understand 😂 I don’t get it. Aaaanyway love the meal ideas. I’m a medium-lazy cook lol. I sometimes make my own bases and sauces etc and I love chopping and using all the gadgets - but if it requires a million steps, techniques, or ingredients I don’t normally use or can’t substitute- nope!! That being said knowing how to substitute ingredients or cooking methods is a VERY important vegan hack in my opinion.

Is there a reason for adding olive oil? I don't usually use oil and it adds a lot of unnecessary calories.
