✨ meal prep tips & adjusting recipes to suit your dietary restrictions
it’s going to be difficult to find recipes every week that suit all your interests and needs so it’s important to be willing to experiment with different things in your pantry to re-up and improve some recipes. here are my meal prep & ingredient replacement tips for the recipes i send you each week:
things to keep on hand: to help with meal prep, some items i like to keep stocked in my pantry include: maple syrup/honey, rolled oats, quinoa, unsalted nuts, unsweetened shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, olive oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar and dates.
planning meals: give yourself one evening (same day every week) that you can build your recipe list for next weeks meal. i’ve been doing this for the newsletter and it has helped so so much. immediately after you decide what you’re going to cook next week, make a shopping list the same night so that you can drop by a grocery store already prepared if it happens to be convenient.
prep & freeze: grab some tupperwear and try to focus on two days a week that you can do bigger batches of meals, use excess meals to freeze and thaw later. if that’s not viable for you, try to focus on one bigger day to prep your vegetables and have everything ready to cook on the go if needed.
ingredient replacements: if you want to use all the recipes i send but you are vegan or have other dietary restrictions here are some options for switching out ingredients to suit your needs.
sugar can be swapped out for maple syrup or honey
all meats can be swapped out for tofu, beans or tempeh
nuts can be swapped out for shredded coconut or seeds (just make sure to keep an eye on the consistencies of whatever you’re cooking)
bread can be swapped out for rice or lettuce wraps
i play this when i’m in my feels ✨ enjoy
