Calories: 476kcal
When you make the switch to a whole food plant-based lifestyle it can seem like a daunting task to suddenly feel like you need to cook three fancy meals from scratch each day. I'll show you what I call my LAZY MEAL PREP HACKS for the week that take the heavy lifting out of plant-based living. Batch cooking "base" foods like grains, beans, sweet potatoes, tofu, and greens to use for multiple meals and then accenting them with simple salad dressings and sauces is the key. I also share WHAT I EAT IN A DAY showing you how I easily incorporate the base dishes into my daily routine. Say goodbye to complicated recipes and hello to delicious simplicity. Get ready to revolutionize your meal prep routine!Be sure to check out all our easy salad dressings and all our tasty mains & sauces!
