What are some easy plant-based meal ideas for people on the go or with busy schedules?

Latifah Paye

As a plant-based social media user and foodie, let me tell you: eating on the go or with a busy schedule doesn't have to be boring or unhealthy. In fact, there are plenty of delicious and easy plant-based meal ideas that are perfect for those of us on the move!

First things first, let's talk about meal prep. As someone who is always on the go, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to take some time to prep your meals ahead of time. This could mean making big batches of grains (like quinoa or brown rice) and roasted vegetables on the weekend to have throughout the week. Or, if you're short on time, simply chop up some veggies the night before to have ready for a quick stir-fry or salad.

Now, onto some actual meal ideas! Here are a few of my favorites:

1. Grain bowls - think quinoa or brown rice, topped with a mix of roasted or raw veggies, some protein (like tofu or beans), and a tasty sauce (like tahini or peanut sauce).

2. Veggie wraps - grab a large flour tortilla and load it up with hummus or avocado, some crisp veggies (like bell pepper or cucumber), and maybe some tempeh or tofu for a protein boost.

3. Overnight oats - perfect for a quick breakfast on the go! Mix together rolled oats, your favorite non-dairy milk, and some chia seeds. Let sit overnight in the fridge, and in the morning top with fresh fruit or nuts.

4. Smoothie - speaking of breakfast on the go, a smoothie is always a great option. Blend up your favorite fruits and veggies (think banana, spinach, and almond milk), add some protein powder or nut butter for extra staying power, and you're good to go!

5. Stir-fry - because who doesn't love a good stir-fry? Whip up some rice noodles or brown rice, stir-fry your veggies (like broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms), and add in some cooked edamame or tofu for protein. Drizzle with soy sauce or teriyaki sauce for a delicious flavor boost.

So there you have it, some easy and delicious plant-based meals for those of us with busy schedules. And let's be real, even if you're not always on the go, these meals are a great option for anyone looking to add more plant-based goodness into their diet. Happy cooking!
