Common questions

How do I hit 30 g protein per vegetarian meal-prep portion?

Stack two plant proteins per portion: 1 cup cooked lentils (18 g) + ½ block firm tofu (14 g), or 1 cup chickpeas (15 g) + 2 eggs (12 g) + a generous quinoa side (8 g). The bowls here are sized for those stacks.

Which vegetarian preps freeze and which don’t?

Freeze: lentil curries, bean chilis, tofu stir-fries (sauce on the side), cooked grains. Don’t freeze: leafy salads, raw cucumber, fresh herbs as garnish (add at portioning).

Are these vegan or just vegetarian?

Mixed — the page filters tofu/lentil/chickpea-based recipes which read mostly vegan, plus some that include cheese or eggs. Each recipe lists ingredients before you commit to the prep plan.
