Hi guys! Thank you so much for all the love and support on my last video. You wanted me to share my meal prep, so for week 2 of prep, you will learn my favorite way of meal prepping in bulk to maximize efficiency.
What I like to do every other Friday is go through my vegan cookbooks and pick meals for the next two weeks. I pick two dinner and two lunches for one week, then another. I pick meals that share the same ingredients. I grocery shop at the farmers market for most of my fruits and veggies, then at sprouts. I only grocery shop every other Saturday and buy for two weeks. I also avoid buying things in cans and plastic packaging as much as possible. I have been vegan for 11 years this March.
Natalie these vids are invaluable - Seriously! I keep thinking by now I’m an expert but then I learn more from you. Also I just recently got a veggie chopper (even though I have good knife skills, this is a crazy time saver!) - I’m telling you, the scenes where you’re slamming it are SO SATISFYING 😂👏🏾 I was cracking up. The zoom-in 🤣
I need to meal prep like this. It’s the one thing i never do. Got the training and macros down but i make things harder on myself and don’t make the best nutritious choices.
Your content has had a big impact on our household, we’ve done high-protein January both this year and last year following meal prep videos of yours. You are so sweet and humble about it all. We are such big fans! ❤ Love from London.
I like to use a silpat to cover foods in the oven instead of foil or parchment most of the time. I'm glad you didn't get beet juice on your beautiful purple top! 😅
I love these meal prep videos! Gives me so many ideas for weekly eating! I’ve been vegan for 5 years and really want to focus this year on building more muscle! Thank you for being an ally for the animals and for a healthy life! Very inspiring 💚🌱
This meal prep is great! Also, I never knew that food processors can shred things! I’ve owned a food processor for years now and also wondered what that metal plate attachment was for. Be right back…going to shred all the veggies now!!! 🤗
My name is Andre Watson and I came across your video today by chance. I enjoyed and learned a lot from watching your demonstration. Your communication style and teaching method are exceptional. Watching you made me realize I need to get myself one of those chopping devices, a Vita Blender, and quality Food Processor.
Now I need to take the next step and do it! I like the organization and the color in the food choices. I was hungry after a long day of work today and was so happy not to stop and by something on the fly but made it home and had some wild rice already prepped and sautéed red bell pepper, sweet potato in Tamari and then added some rice, an egg and peas and it was yummy and satiating. I need to try doing tofu in the air fryer and use tools I have in the home more such as a mandolin and food processor. Thanks so much Natalie, this is the year I am serving my body in the way it needs to see strong definition everywhere. Love your sweet energy and clarity and speed of speech. It is not too fast, which really matters. You are doing great!
I love the Lupini bean seitan. It's my go to. I soak my own beans as I couldn't afford to keep using ready to use ones. I'm enjoying your cookbook! I love the high protein veggie tots. The breakfast sausages are great!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying the recipes. I should probably be doing the same and buying the dry beans + soaking! That would totally save me💰
Loved this ❤ I used my veggie chopped just for onions, I never thought of using it for potatoes or peppers but I ll definitely be doing that this week. Thanks for the inspo ❤
Best meal prep video I have seen! Just so exact and all the tips were totally doable and time saving. Just invested in some airtight containers and headed to the store to start my prep! 🎉❤ No need to wait for Monday for this girl!
It's been a while since i watched one of your videos, i forgot how much i love your approach and recipes. Unique, flavorful, practical, nutritious, and delicious. Thank you!
I'm loving this! You make meal prep simple. I like that you start with the portion of the meal that takes the longest to the shortest. Thanks for being so detailed.
This video has inspired me to start meal prepping to take control over my health. Thank you for the amazing content and being an inspiration to us all.
You are such an inspo 🤩🥰 I have my first show in April, can't wait, and I'll be the first athlete for my coach on vegan diet.....thanks to you I am sure, that I'll make it and make myself proud 🥰🥰 thank you so much for everything you do. Love to you and George. Zdenka from Czech republic
Getting more serious about strength training and am one of the few vegetarians/plant based people at the gym and your videos are helping me follow my coaches guidelines for macros! Also I desperately want that chopper! Thanks so much for all the time you put into these! Would be fascinated to know how long it all took in real time! ? Best wishes from Cincinnati Ohio
Bought your cook book and have been using your recipes every single day! thank you so much for your amazing content and creative delicious recipes and ideas! you got me hooked on kite hill chive cream cheese as well! I've been vegan 11 years and your recipes make it so much easier!
I am glad I found your RUclips channel. It is very inspiring when it comes to meal prep for Athletes. I like the Seitan receipe, the easiest I have came across.
I am reaching FIRE in May. Health is my utmost goal for the year. My husband and I meal prep each week and can't wait to try your seitan suggestion on lupini beans!!
Yayyy your cooking videos make me so happy!! I’ve been wanting to go vegetarian/vegan but usually have a hard time finding videos that fit my tastebuds but these all sound delicious!!
Love seeing your meal prep videos! I used to really struggle with getting in protein. ALSO because of your videos with your husband, I was able to get my husband to go vegan without him feeling like he’s missing out on his gains!

Life changing - I never heard of BULK meal prep before... so simple, can't believe I never thought of it!
Yes! It’s definitely more enjoyable imo
I’ve never seen a baked seitan recipe! It certainly looks easy enough…. First video I’ve seen from you and I love the info. Well put together😊
I love the Lupini bean seitan. It's my go to. I soak my own beans as I couldn't afford to keep using ready to use ones. I'm enjoying your cookbook! I love the high protein veggie tots. The breakfast sausages are great!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying the recipes. I should probably be doing the same and buying the dry beans + soaking! That would totally save me💰
I’m glad I’m not the only one who puts a piece of masking tape on my food prep containers indicating the weight per serving 🤗
Yes girl! We gotta do what we gotta do.
Another great video! Thank you Natalie!
Just getting started on my "return to fitness" journey! I had forgotten how to meal prep - so this has been super valuable! Thank you for sharing!
Welcome back! You got this 🙌🏽
Loved this ❤ I used my veggie chopped just for onions, I never thought of using it for potatoes or peppers but I ll definitely be doing that this week. Thanks for the inspo ❤
Yeah! Time saver!
Congratulations Amanda!!! You won my Giveaway for a LIVBODY gift card. Please send me a dm on my ig: FITVEGANCHEF ❤
Great tip using the chopper for prep! That saves so much time!
Thank you so much for these videos! I’ve incorporated so many of your meal prep ideas including your seitan recipes. Absolutely amazing!
I’ve been craving tofu and never thought about not seasoning it until use so you can change it up. Genius!
Yes! That way you can make different dishes (Mexican, sushi bowl, or Italian dish) using tofu but switching a sauce or condiment.
I love how simple yet effective your meal prep is! Can't wait to see more prep meals and FDOEs showing how you put them together in tasty combos!
More to come!
I love it ❤
I love watching your videos for meal prep inspiration!
I love these practical tips for busy people! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
