Quick Meals for when you don't feel like cooking (healthy & vegan)

[@Carla-jd1ub]

Loved the video, it seems so authentic and achievable for a vegan German student like me living with roommates and without a huge budget. Would you be interested in showing your grocery shopping process for a week, so the cost of it, meal planing, using up leftovers etc. That could be very helpful!

[@Danycrumble]

I think she has a "go grocery shopping with me" video that's a bit older on her channel - maybe that will help :)

[@paula380]

Hello Mina. As someone who is trying to recover from an eating disorder. I just wanted to say, that your videos are so comforting. No talk about calories, and not measuring your servings. Thank you, thank you! Your videos are just about the enjoyment of cooking and eating delicious vegan food. I find myself smiling when watching your videos. Thank you for your videos and recipes. Sending you much love ❤

[@PizzaBoyHero]

Congratulations on starting your recovery journey!! I hope you have a good support system around you! If not, the internet is a wonderful place to find one!

[@anushka3668]

hi swiftie! please take care

[@anav.m.6903]

I'm so proud of you!! i hope you recover soon, i know you can do it

[@fanficker6907]

I wish you so so so much healing, understanding, and self love in your recovery. You're not alone ♡

[@discogoth]

Right?!?! They’re so relaxing and everything I want in a food video- affordable ingredients, wholesome recipes, and the videos aren’t loaded with talk of calories and qualifying certain foods as “good” or “bad”. The energy is soothing and neutral! I don’t feel obligated to binge eat out of the unbridled “treat yourself” energy of some creators, but I also don’t panic about my own diet and end up restricting due to the vibes that others bring to their videos. The energy in her videos is just pleasant and safe for most recovering ED patients and I feel like I’m truly just given ideas for easy, affordable vegan meals.

[@methiiyiimii3092]

I love all you stuff. The cutting, your calming voice, the recipes. All is on point. Please keep doing.

[@jenniferjones1470]

same ;)

[@13JoO13]

Totally agree

[@mariasoeller]

my thoughts exactly

[@halleehumphrey6814]

I just wanted to say that your videos really make my day better if struggled in the past with eating videos always gives me the motivation to go cook myself something so thank you

[@SustainablyVegan]

This is such a helpful video, especially since I'm away from home for a while and in a kitchen that has very limited equipment! Really appreciate the ease of these recipes!

[@Kyle-fh8fe]

That egg bake looks fantastic. Also, I'm always happy when you reverse the video when adding ingredients. Not sure why, but it gets me everytime.

[@hanna108]

I love how any recipe that is basically pastas with some chopped up veggies and a kind of Asian inspired sauce always turns out fantastic, your videos are really inspiring, love it!

[@Ratsfrom42]

RECIPE: this is a favorite of mine Savory chickpea pancakes with sauteed veggies: 1/2c chickpea flour, 2tsp nutritional yeast, pinch salt, dash paprika & garlic powder, 1/3c water - makes two pancakes on the skillet I like to sautee a bunch of mushrooms, garlic, and spinach with Italian herbs and chili flakes. Sometimes I add balsamic vinegar instead of chili flakes for a different flavor. - After sauteeing veggies, I put them ON TOP of the pancakes and eat by picking them up like an open-faced sandwich. I like to drizzle sriracha and bagel seasoning on top too!

[@shippermd]

YUM! 😋 I am gonna try all these, soon! 🙂 Tip for those of us who are Soy and Nut Free: Use PUMFU vs Tofu. (A soy-free, Pumpkin-seed based Tofu. At healthfood stores). Use Coconut Aminos vs Soy Sauce Use Sunbutter vs Peanut Butter.

[@Mina_Rome]

i have never heard of pumfu I gotta to try this

[@shippermd]

@@Mina_Rome Yes! They make it in plain and now in flavors for various recipes! PLEASE do a review and recipe vid with it, soon! :)

[@mariannerady1137]

curious to see if we have it here in Germany. Usually, we are 1-2 years behind the US in getting all the good vegan substitutes

[@julchenauskoeln9174]

Hi Mina, Those recipes are lovely. I’d love to see some “recipes when you don’t feel like cooking without cooking” like some salads, sandwiches, smoothies. 😍

[@fuzz6263]

Yes I agree. These are not quick at all, mostly. These recipes look absolutely fabulous but come on, that baked omelette using a blender and the oven? I probably never cook something that elaborate and I would say I eat quite healthy, varied and creative food most of the time.

[@liislet]

Yes! When I see a title like this, I'n expecting to see things as easy as a PB&J. I'd love to replace some of the other lunches in our rotation with vegan if they were really as easy as that, but as a busy mom, there are days where i can't do anything like this complexity.

[@fuzz6263]

@@liislet Oh no, this is keeping you from eating more vegan food? Girl, there are sooo many food bloggers out there who have actual easy lunches! It also depends what you're looking for, where I grew up pretty much everyone just eats like 3 sandwiches for lunch and that's it. If I were to do the same vegan, I'd just whip out one of the unlimited amount of vegan spreads there are. Are you looking to cook at all? What kind of lunches do you eat?

[@prattushadutta8227]

i'm not vegan but i'm always in search of healthy but easy rather lazy recipes and finally i found you. as i'm a student and someone who is not really handy with kitchen stuff i can guarantee all these are me approved!!!

[@littlebirdblue4238]

Just what the hunger ordered :) these look soooo good!!! Thankyou for these, perfection for a quick fix. Love your content, and hope today is an awesome day for you 💕

[@Mina_Rome]

thank u! have a lovely day yourself!

[@tigerkind]

Seasonal depression is kicking my butt so this is much appreciated! Excited to try these.

[@Kira-jd7bp]

Love this! My go to quick meal is a noodle soup. Water with veggie stock, carrots, green onion, sugar beans(?), mushroom, spinach and short cut soup noodles. But chose whatever you fancy. I even put brussle sprouts and radish in and loved it. Season it with paprika, pepper and perhaps some soy sauce. Takes me about 15 minutes 👍

[@OliveraDarko]

I loved this video! I work from home a lot these days but I tend to get so lazy when it comes to making myself lunch…definitely going to be trying some of these out 😍

[@ninnetedevalois]

It's amazing how she makes all the recipes look soo good! I'm not even vegan or vegetarian but now I'm eager to test these out!

[@YenAndMar]

The nutbutter&apple toast looks amazing for breakfast! 😋 Definitely team crunchy 🤩 great recipe ideas as always!

[@arkamieproduction4406]

Also really love your recipes and the fact that you reuse the ingredients since I usually end up with way too much leftover baby spinach and so on. Crunchy all the way!

[@prerneetkaur]

These recipes are so good omg , I swear I love your videos so much , your recipes are easy and fun to make , moreover they are VEGAN ! That's amazing how you come up with these ideas , love them all ❤️❤️

[@Frogbog11]

Currently stuck at home with a cold (the regular kind, thankfully) and decided to cook the spicy kimchi noodles today. It was honestly delicious and a nice comfort meal. Thank you for the recipe !

[@Mina_Rome]

yay so happy to hear that!! not the fact that you have a cold though haha, get better soon

[@jannika7184]

I think we should do a go fund me for Mina so she can FINALLY buy herself a toaster

[@cr300]

These videos are life saving!

[@kix1464]

Thank you for the great inspirations! I‘ve been craving some spicy meals for quite some time now and your ideas seem to fit my taste spot. 😁 I‘ll definitely try some of them in the near future. 😊 Something I make every now and then when I‘m not feeling like spending much time in the kitchen is this fried rice: 1. Get a microwaveable rice package and frozen Asian style vegetables. 2. Microwave the frozen vegetables first. 3. While the vegetables are in the microwave add oil, garlic and ginger into a frying pan and fry. Then add the vegetables. 4. While your vegetables are frying put the rice in the microwave for 2 Mins. Then add the rice into the pan. 4. Make a hole in the middle and add some soy sauce into it. Add some other seasonings to your liking (like salt, pepper, something hot etc. - I like adding a lot of black pepper). Mix everything. 5. Add some sesame oil for flavour mix again and serve. 😊

[@VerhoevenSimon]

Tacos are always a nice, easy solution. I tend to mealprep different ingredients and at times just randomly grab boxes to toss something together.

[@mattyspratt9906]

my go to low effort meals are kimchi fried rice, and bibimbap (i made loAds of bibimbap sauce a while ago and put it in an old soy sauce bottle to make it quicker)

[@janabarkowsky9488]

Jedes deiner Videos ist immer wieder aufs Neue gut und inspiriert mich, zu kochen. Vielen Dank dafür und keep it up!

[@latisha334]

That is a very smart way to cut a bell pepper! The stew looked delicious.

[@aishashere7332]

my fav video of yours! looks SO good mina, i love your content and i look forward to trying most of these

[@hikazayanikushi9086]

Just the right amount of inspiration I need since I’ve been thinking of what else I could make. Thank you!

[@C.DWoods]

for you next baking foods from other countries you could make Norwegian Lefse it is a potato bread that is traditionally wrapped up and eaten with butter.

[@liliflores7493]

As someone with heavy depression this all look so difficult lol I almost never get hungry so cutting pepper, no, go to buy a pepper, I don't know...

[@meatrubber]

I just buy already made pasta salads from the shops

[@mr.melone520]

I really like number 2, it’s so easy and so good

[@swiftassociates]

Super awesome and easy to follow video! Recipes are unique, tasty, and pretty economical. Thanks for creating and sharing Mina!

[@PumpkinMozie]

It’s okay for the recipes to not be authentic as long as theyre yummy. However I wanted to mention that Korean cuisine doesn’t often use glass noodles for this type of dish. An alternative noodle that I think would go great with your recipe would be “somyun” which is a kind of Korean wheat noodle! You might not be able to find it in your country but if you get the chance I recommend trying it out because it’s perfect for that type of recipe. :) A delicious Korean glass noodle recipe that I also recommend is “japchae” which is often served vegan so be sure to try that one too!!! Thanks for all the yummy ideas!! 🥰

[@Mina_Rome]

yep you're right! I thought about using somyun, but the glass noodles are so easy to cook, with the pouring over water method :) but of course u can use any type of noodle here. thanks for watching!!

[@PumpkinMozie]

@@Mina_Rome that’s true!! Another benefit of course is that glass noodles are usually gluten free but somyun is not. So I’m sure your GF viewers appreciate that^^

[@Gildedpossum]

That baked omelet is about to be my safe food for the next month 😍

[@realgranolaappleraspberry]

I like both smooth and crunchy peanut butter depending on the recipe :)

[@zanar162]

Right in time for going back to uni and having no energy or time😍😍 perfect

[@luvkav9559]

This is fantastic thank you learning a lot and doing veganuary

[@Mina_Rome]

proud of u!!

[@madelinerivera3837]

Everything looks so good. Can’t wait to try. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Another fantastic video and recipes from beautiful & gorgeous Mina. Recipes that doesn't involve cooking are great for when you can't be bothered to cook. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Mina.

[@ameliek]

Mina, ich liebe deine Videos !

[@kidyyimenu6818]

Tofu fried rice is my favorite go-to vegan meal. Just chop some veggies up sautee them along with some tofu. Throw in rice and soy sauce and BAM a beautiful meal!

[@rieperedo4173]

this was so lovely to see as always thank you

[@ben5380]

This is so well done. Thanks for the recipe ideas! You should write a cookbook :)

[@uraokic1942]

5 months later from your comment, and she did!!!

[@GummiMaggi1995]

The noodles with the nut dressing, i am doing them all the time. Instead of almond butter i use tahini. Then add marple sirup, mustard, soy sauce, nutritional yeast and a bit of water. It tastes incredible :)

[@annalena3065]

Everything looks so yummy. Really shouldn’t have watched this after going to bed without dinner because I have a stomachache. Now my stomach is rumbling for more than one reason 😅

[@estherrolim1977]

So glad you liked my suggestion of the grilled fruit, peanut butter, and toast! I'll definitely try with some vegan yogurt on top next time! Thank you

[@oliwiakropidowska4220]

Exams are approaching, so I think that these ideas will be life-saving! Amazing and comforting video, as always

[@lottisoph]

[@ellagray6433]

[@jessicashaw1796]

All of these looked so yummy! My go to meal for when I don't feel like cooking is frying up an egg and slapping it on a piece of toast or a wrap haha. It never disappoints.

[@carolann6796]

[@angelinar.4468]

How much spinach do you want in your dishes? Mina: Yes!

Omg thank u that’s exactly what I needed right now 🤝

[@mialeyli]

The only thing that could make your videos even more complete and perfect would be timestamps I think 🙈🙈 I really enjoy those in madeleine Olivia’s videos But I don’t know how much of a hussle it is to add them soo don’t feel pressured 🙊🥰 Ur videos rock no matter what

[@itsactuallyh91]

HEY ILYY

[@Magjes]

Thanks for video, I like fruit it's nice microwaved sometimes.

[@JenniferTijssen]

No baby spinach on your peanut butter apple toast? ;) Loved this video, so entertaining and useful!

Topped these noodles with sesame ... best 😍

i love this song 🔥🔥🔥

[@Eidexx]

Nice video, I'm definetly gonna try some recipes!!! Fyi, the bolognese sauce at 2:40 is not vegan, it's vegetarian. Vegetarisch = vegetarian in german.

[@ginadewenter4968]

But a lot of brands dont bother putting vegan on their packaging. I know a lot of "vegetarische" stuff thats vegan in disguise. I always tripple-check the ingredient list
