LAZY PLANT-BASED MEAL PREP HACKS FOR A WEEK (What I Eat in a Day)

[@caseyj1144]

I have chronic illness so most things are too much energy for me to prep most the time. Thanks for these ideas, they help a lot make it seem doable

[@michelechicago889]

Exactly I'm 71 live alone and don't like complicated or too much energy output ..esp since I don't feel fully nutrified from this diet .. yet .I miss the comfort type meals meat Loaf etc n want to learn to cook these comforts plant based

[@andreawalker7138]

I've watched a lot of meal prep videos where they never showed how to put the ingredients together, so thank you so much for the ideas!

[@daphnewheeler2664]

Thank you for this video!!!! It is super helpful on what to eat. Please consider a 4 week series every quarter so we can get ideas for each season.

Love her vibe and recipes. She's so down to earth. I did her 28-day intro to plant-based eating and really enjoyed it and have kept mainly going plant-based with some eggs and fish now and then.

[@MIMMarketing]

Great job. Now just a little further to go as you get rid of the eggs and fish. ❤🎉

[@denise76]

@@MIMMarketing She can stick with the way she's doing it. Sounds well-balanced.

[@stamps4fungin]

I love salads and do a non oil dressing, then I just eat some brown rice and quinoa or yam, etc with it so I feel fuller.

You’re so pretty your skin is glowing, the diet is working.

[@misterincreds5341]

Thank you for this video. When I first started eating WFPB I swear I about drove myself nuts and wasted so much food. I thought I had to cook all these varieties of foods that I was seeing on KZbin videos. I no longer do that. I now tell people to pick out some basic menu's they like and rotate this. You can always try something new once a week or so. Keeping some basics made makes life so much easier. Great job on this video.

[@juchidaf]

Omg that dinner looks AMAZING!

[@alreadythunkit]

Ha! Grain/bean mixes are the best! Thanks for the tips.

[@truthbetold2611]

These are my kind of meals. Wholesome ingredients prepared in my own kitchen. Best of all, assembled the way I like it at the time of eating. Sometimes I have a banana avocado smoothie with granola for dinner--quick, nutritious and satisfying, perfect after a day of work in the garden. BTW Jill, I used to sew aprons to give as gifts. The fabrics you've chosen to make your aprons looks absolutely beautiful on you. I would be highly interested if you started a clothing line. I know you thrift some of your clothes but I love your style and palette. A few pieces you've worn on your show (including the dress in this video) I would love to have in my wardrobe. So that you know, you've got a fan in me.

[@ChillKat69]

I am SO excited! I’ve gotten away from eating plant-based foods, but when I did for several years, this was exactly how I rolled! Thank you so much for reinspiring me with the easy, make-ahead meals. I’ve printed it out and immediately purchased a membership. This will save my life!! Your process is priceless. :)

[@noramaddock4165]

I love your message of keeping it simple. I very much resonate with this and it’s how I have continued eating this way for the past fourteen years. It is THE reason I can keep my family of four fed with healthy, whole plant foods. I just started making some videos of how I make super simple starch staples for our family, how to use the instapot etc. It can be so simple once your tastebuds adjust.

[@shannonvanostran4531]

It all looks great! I'm going to have to keep greens like that. It would make it easy to eat salad every day for lunch

[@leahfarrar7062]

Keep these videos coming! I love the meal prep ideas!

[@CharGC123]

Batch prep is almost a given when you eat WFPB, too easy otherwise to make poor last minute choices! I was confused, I thought "Rancho Gordo" was a type of bean, but it's a grower of a variety of heirloom beans. I'm sure they're wonderful, the "caviar" of beans, but just too pricy for my skimpy retirement budget when I can get 4 lbs of my favorite bean (cranberry/Roman) locally for the cost of one lb of theirs. Anyway, I was curious which one is your favorite bean?

I just made your grain mix, using oat groats instead of steel cut because that's what I had, and I'm very happy with it. I'll be making it over and over. I tried some with a tiny bit of maple syrup, cinnamon, walnuts and raw cocoa powder and it will be excellent for breakfast, snack or dessert. I'll be topping it with bananas or other fruit as well. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this. Sometimes I just want to be done with cooking. I work full time and don’t want to eat out. I have cooked a few of your recipes and freeze half(it’s just me). Always great to have something I can pull out and warm up. Although I will say your meals are not frozen for long as I like to eat them soon after making them. 🎉 it is really nice to freeze and quick heat up meals in the winter, yum!

[@viviandurham9685]

Love your video and it is what I have been looking for to begin meal prep. Most WFPB individuals show what they make and show pictures of what to eat but they do not show what is eaten each day. I would like to request a prep video like today, but also what you would make for each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) for 5 days or a week with what you prepped. Obviously you wouldn't eat the same meal for 5=7 days? Or would you? I need variety and would love for a video of prepped food, how to prep like you did and what your family ate with the meal prep for a week. If it is too long, maybe it could be a two part video?

[@AmandaJYoungs]

Thank you so much for this video! It's exactly what I need. I've been wondering whether every week I should prep a different bean and a different grain in the (beloved!) Instant Pot, and then chop up a variety of veggies, and try to form meals from that and by the looks of it, I'm thinking along the right lines for day to day eating. I don't like to cook every night, it's not one of those things that I enjoy - but I do enjoy cooking 2-3 times a week, and in between times, if it's OK to compile a Buddha bowl type of meal then I will be very happy with that. Thank you also for the lentils/grains combination - what a great idea that is, and I will definitely try that out in the near future. Phew! This video is like a weight off my shoulders. PS. Black lentils are beluga lentils, right? They look the same. I have beluga lentils but haven't used them before, so this will be a great chance to use them. I have buckwheat, not the flour, but it cooks at the same speed as lentils because I've used it in another recipe, so perhaps that must be the groats. Well, we'll soon find out! And I have a ton of the right kind of oats already.

When you refer to the grains in the Instant Pot, do you allow for a natural release or do you release the pressure right away? Will it need draining, or will all that water have been absorbed? I wonder, could I reduce the amount to be cooked and the water by half? Or could I freeze half the grains if there was too much for me over a week?

[@amirahsadre4570]

[@rollingstone3017]

Great stuff. Although I don't think you actually need to presoak the beans if you cook them in the Instant Pot.

[@MushroomMagpie]

Presoaking activates enzymes and starts a bunch of positive life process changes in the bean. Just cooking then does none of that.

[@apple25481]

That’s always a personal choice. I soak because it reduces the phytates that prevents mineral absorption & it’s easier on our digestion

[@sukifriend]

I agree with the people who commented. Better for your digestion system

[@beccogiallo]

You can cook them in the IP without pre-soaking, but It takes longer, and the soaking makes them easier to digest.
