@@TheVeganGymI am very interested in working at this company. I see your listing. Now I will say I don’t have any experience in coaching nor videography but willing to learn more.
I was hesitant to watch this video because, as a registered dietitian, I always nit pick all the nutrition information shared. But everything this guy said was accurate and research based. All true and delicious plant powered meals, absolutely loved it!!
Definitely not a vegan or an athlete, but I do appreciate the presentation of this video. No annoying music, gimmicks or clickbait. No talking everything to death. And a truly balanced, diverse and nutritionally dense meal prep. Well done.
Yes and great presentation- to the point and focused. (I used to be a business college instructor and taught presentation skills so I give him an "A+". ) Retired but there is still teacher in me. lol.
I just did this today. The food is delicious and simple to make and took way way way more than one hour. At least 3 😂 maybe one hour to assemble things. Two hours to open cans wash beans, and chop vegetables.
I love how you mention how much sunshine for people of different skin tones as well as iron info for menstruating women. It’s a really inclusive approach and I wish that more people talked about the different needs of diverse populations.
I am a licensed Naturopathic Physician in WA state, I am always looking for ways to help my patients with nutrition - it's great to have this resource, keep up the fantastic work, it's invaluable! Saving lives one meal at a time!
This is really great! I would recommend packing your salad in the opposite order since the lentils are sturdier. The veggies on top will stay drier and have less weight on them.
i think your videos are the first meal prep videos i see that don't overwhelm me and i really appreciate that you guide us through the whole process in a way that will help us do everything quickly 🥺 and you explain the nutrition details soooo well! 🥺 thank you so much 🥲🫶🏻✨
I am absolutely floored -- I've been looking for this channel my entire life!!! How incredible!! I've been trying to get more protein and struggle to get over 90g WITH supplements! You're doing GODs work here. Shred loading ...
Thank you so much for this!! I’m not vegan but I really do like eating as a vegan. I’m starting an 8 week challenge and would like to not rely on supplements too much
i think your videos are the first meal prep videos i see that don't overwhelm me and i really appreciate that you guide us through the whole process in a way that will help us do everything quickly and you explain the nutrition details soooo well! thank you so much 🫶
This “No supplement” meal prep is great. I need 220grams of protein a day so I’ll definitely use this guide for the meals and supplements the protein. Thanks bro.
I really love the nutrient break down at the end of the video. You’ve really given some great examples of easy meals, I have over night oats almost every day, I have ask the dried ingredients ready in their containers and then I make 2 at a time by adding milk and berries. There’s no way I’m eating it after day 4 (sorry). For lunches I have a huge container of roasted veggies and another of fresh cut veggies, I always have portioned cooked beans and rice/quinoa in the freezer so when I’m ready to eat I just grab a bit of everything and dress it. Thanks again for great content and info 🙏
went to a dietitian after liver inflammation from a low protein/high fat imbalanced diet. I wasted the entire 1hr appointment without a single meal plan. I’m on a medical diet due to compounding issues. This helped me in ways my dietitian couldn’t. Thanks so much! A LIFE SAVER!
But I do wanna ask what can I substitute for cantaloupe? Melons are the only fruit I dislike them. And I need to replace that much onions 2x a day. I can only have Allium family of foods probably 1.5 servings max a day. Ideally 1 to 0.
Thank you for sharing your story and I'm glad the video is helpful for you! Regarding your question about cantaloupe, I would replace it with peaches or mangoes. In terms of your question about onions, are you saying that you want to replace the onions with something else from the Allium family?
Thank you so much!! I’m finally hitting my protein goal and then some!! For months I struggled to hit my protein intake, but the small tweaks I made by adding plant based proteins to my regular meals has helped so much.
This kind of meal plan is exactly what I've been looking for - fast and efficient, sufficient protein, and meets nutritional needs without supplements. Super helpful, thank you! You got a subscriber!
I'm so excited to have a full week planned and prepared! Please make more videos like this one! I typically make meals for just 5 days and my weekends end up being not very healthy. To mix it up a little I'm making a few oil free dressings during the week to add to the pasta salad. I'll freeze some of the chili to reduce the daily calories and cut back on some seeds. I can't thank you enough for such a great week with no protein powder.
Wanted to hop on here and let you know that I watched this video a few days ago, was super inspired and as I wrote this, my fridge is packed with delicious meals.. all from your meal plans. I love that they are packed with nutrients and really easy, and plant-based. Thank you so much for your time in sharing this!! I'm looking forward to meal time now😁
Great looking meals! A little tip - if you are okay with using a little olive oil - when you cook pasta after it's cool toss it in a little bit of olive oil to avoid the noodle clumping. This is what restaurants do. Noodles are cooked in bulk and heated as needed.
This guy is awesome - very much aligned to my way of thinking about a plant based diet, and it’s generic enough for us Brits (aka Europeans) to source ingredients easily - keep up the good work👍🏻
That's a great way to use Kite Hill yogurt--twice when I bought it it got moldy incredibly quick so I couldn't use the entire tub. There would be no waste using it this way, it's not cheap where I purchase it.
For one who is not keen on doing math, it is so help so SEE the portions and amount of food in each container. Thank you for making it easier for a lot of us ❤
Mr Pumpkin is lovely. I wasn't a cat person until my first cat, Mr C, adopted us and now I adore them, I just didn't know cats before then. Great vid, thanks. x
This is absolutely amazing. The best part is that these ingredients are more or less easily found. There are no extremely specific ingredients that the rich vegan people find but more normal and affordable ones.
What puzzles me is actually what the rule is about storing food in the fridge. Mostly it says 3-4 days max, so in that case how do you need to secure dishes to last up to a week.
This is the best help what you can do. My life is so busy and i felt so overwhelming with the daily cooking. I will try this and hope i can also loose some weight. Thanks😊
I love your videos. Been a vegetarian my whole life and vegan for the past 16 years and in the past few years got into the habit of eating trash. So I really love these quick-prep meals so I can reach for healthy pre-made food instead of fast crap from the supermarket. Thanks for doing this. Just as a side note, about 15 years ago when I was in peak condition I called a local gym (for one of those trending fitness groups that I shan't name). The man told me because I was vegan I'd be too weak to be a member. It was so insulting. I told him that was absolute rubbish and to enjoy what would surely bbe a failing trend at his gym. (It was) Will you be writing a cookbook?
Awesome, I can't tell you how frustrating it has been to find meal prep and what to do! This was not overwhelming and is doable. Thank you so much. I kept putting off going vegan because, how. I can't tell you how excited I am and to share this...
I love that you're a cat guy, and that you don't flip out when he gets on the counter. Some people are really uptight about that. He has trained you well 😂 Also thank you for all the hard work you do on these videos. The more I watch of you, the more I appreciate you and what you do. Now give that kitty some scritches for me 😊
So I went ahead and started the plan. I’m no vegan but I was thinking after reading a lot, and watching some sports documentary that I would give it a try. I’m a professional dancer and very active in fitness over all. Looking at all the macros and all the protein that was given, it seemed that it would work for my fitness lifestyle. The first day was good. Felt great! However, the next afternoon my stomach was hurting a bit. I let it go for another day, but it came back stronger. Almost to the point that I thought my appendix was exploring. Of course that was not the case. Talking to my family about and my doctor I decided to give up and come back to my normal eating. It took almost two weeks to get my stomach (my gut) back to a healthy normal feeling gut. While my gut was hurting I wasn’t really going to the restroom and I made sure I was drinking tons of water. But that didn’t help. I thought that it will be a good idea to post my experience since maybe this has happened to someone else. But again the meal prep is super easy to follow.
Thank you for giving it a try! I'm sorry you felt it didn't sit right with your stomach. If you're interested in trying again, I'll list some of our other meal prep videos below. 🌱😃💚 th-cam.com/video/YKexhe17gTE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5VD_8XhFp9zioH3o th-cam.com/video/OYiiA9dgIEU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1m5zJR7amE4DcoUn th-cam.com/video/AQxG258gOx8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jQxlNYJkI7zxbL-c
This happens to most people at first because our bodies aren't used to this much fibre. Lentils and other legumes have to be slowly added to our diet (2-5Tbl) a day until our bowels are used to it. Especially if yr diet was a SAD, it is low in fibre. Meat has no fibre. I'm vegan now and I must admit, I was a walking gas tank for a few weeks. It took me about a month to get it right.

It's good but think most people don't want to get the same thing everyday. But if you make theses smaller and spread them out with other meals it's awsome .
Best vegan meal prep I've seen so far. Simple and easy to prepare while also beaing tasty. This is a plan I could follow for awhile without getting bored of it. And the ingrediants are cheap!
Wow! Riveted during the entire video! Very well organized and edited. Love seeing the generous level of protein that can be accomplished from a plant-based meal plan. Thank you!
Jeepers, I just came across your video. What a great job you do. The food looks amazing. Your explanation of all nutrients is excellent. Thank you. Keep up the good work. I can see your channel growing. I plan to tell everyone to start watching your videos. 😊
Just found your Content -absolutely love it. One of the biggest struggles I have with meal prep is that it takes so darn long. Love having quick ideas like these for times when I don’t have time or energy to spend on prep
best meals prep ever !! my nutritionist was insisted that I have to take meats to be able to burn fats, I've diving in youtube looking for vegan meals with high Protin and amino acids !! but your meals are extraordinary, they have everything I need !
This video is an answer to my prayers. I have been looking for ideas to ease into a vegan lifestyle without sacrificing necessary dietary elements. Your video fits the bill and I will follow for more great ideas. Thank you. And give Mr. Pumpkin a head rub from me!
I was desperate today bc I haven’t figured a meal plan and apparently god or TH-cam listened to my convo and here you are. THIS IS AMAZING PREP. ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 thanks so much for the macro breakdown! I’ve used your macro calculator and it’s really accurate
I love your videos when you show how easy it is to prepare several days worth of vegan foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thank you very much! The only issue I have is with the chickpea pasta. That banza brand has a very high amount of glycophosphates. Hopefully i can find another brand of high protein yummy pasta that's organic.
Looks really good! The only thing that surprised me was the cooking time for the dinner. Even if I use dried beans I usually cook on high only for like 40 min.. is there any specific reason for such a long cooking time? I would assume the veggies are properly cooked long before that?
Great question! "Low and slow" adds a lot of flavor to chili, but you can always use an instant pot instead to significantly cut down on the cooking time. 🙂
Amazing video, I meal prep every three days or so, this way the food is fresher. I also recommend preparing different menus for each meal time. This way is easier to stay vegan and getting all the nutrients you need. Also you won’t fill the entire fridge with containers unless you live on your own.
Love that it is whole foods and doesn't have meat substitutes. Which i like, but i know they aren't the best thing for me so I'd like to cut back on them or even eliminate them except for maybe a treat now and then eventually. Also, need to get back to eating oats more. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn recommends eating them at least everyday. 😊
❤ this! Thank you so much. I needed to eat healthier for my health and I love not having to spend a lot of time or spend a fortune doing it. And it all looks wonderful. Can't wait to try!!!
That's great to hear!! Please continue to use the channel as a resource. I would recommend the other meal prep videos to get an idea of some fantastic healthy vegan meals. 💚
Okay, when you stated you now like cats because of Mr. Pumpkin, I subscribed! I just discovered your TH-cam and love it. As a senior citizen, I have been diagnosed with celiac, and diabetes. I also have high cholesterol. To combat the diabetes and the ability to eat due to celiac, I began aating "mostly" vegan. I am now off all meds, lost about 20 lbs, and feel so good. I have always walked 30 minutes every day so that too continues. Now I have unfound energy, no brain fog, and my cholesterol is the lowest it has been in years. Thank you for your meal plans and watched the Tofu one which I will definitely try as I have only used Tofu for smoothies. The protein is the most important though. Thank you for your channel. I too eat GF oatmeal (Bob's Red Mill) almost every morning with added sugar free nut butters, blueberries, nuts and love it. Having said I eat vegan, I do eat salmon and tuna fish and occasional eggs but your channel may ultimately change that. Thank you! (and love Mr. Pumpkin...lol)
Thanks for this amazing video! I just made 4 days of meal prep the same Breakfast, lunch, and dinner! I can’t wait to see how everything tastes and last this week.
@@TheVeganGym Everything is soo good!I used Non-Fat Greek yogurt for the overnight oats because I’m not 100% vegan (yet), I just wanted a meatless healthier option for my meal prep this week, but I kept everything else the same! This was my first time eating tempeh, I was a bit skeptical because it has a peanut like smell, but the chili is bomb! I made my chili in a crockpot and added a bit more spices to mine! I also added jalapeño because I love heat! The salads are also super filling and great!10/10 meal prep! Thanks! 🔥
I tried the lentil salad. Omg it was really good. I came across this video as I was looking for meals to make this week. I loved everything about the salad. Lots of flavor in every bite especially with the olives. Thank you for being an inspiration.
@@TheVeganGym I've been doing it for years! It's so good! Especially when you start experimenting with different balsamic flavors (California Balsamic) and spices!
can I just say, this guy's effort into what he does is incredible, truly wants to help people by making everything so accessible and simple.

Anyone else literally popping their pants with your veggie diet?
@@web2yt488no, not with enough protein
@@web2yt488thats good. youre getting the fiber you need
Que afán de sacar a relucir que eres una progre.
Another way to keep the moisture down is to add the items with the most moisture to the bowl first and keep the greens on the top.
Yes, great tip! 🙌 I should have mentioned that in the video!
Yep that's what I was going to say. Mason Jar salad order comes to mind.

Dr Connie, I just looked you up. I’m vegan and live in Renton and may come to you! 👍
This is really great! I would recommend packing your salad in the opposite order since the lentils are sturdier. The veggies on top will stay drier and have less weight on them.
Thanks for the info! 🙂

Suggestion: Use the mason jar shaker salad method when packing salads. Bottom: dressing (vinegar); Next: pasta, lentil; Then veggie; finally greens
Great tip! 🙂

Especially if yr diet was a SAD, it is low in fibre. Meat has no fibre. I'm vegan now and I must admit, I was a walking gas tank for a few weeks. It took me about a month to get it right.
Never thought about adding nutritional yeast to my popcorn, have to try it next time.
It's excellent! I hope you enjoy! 😄
PLEASE do more , I need more lunch ideas that are filling but easy and quick for work
We definitely will! 🙂
This is meal prepping HEAVEN! Gotta do it this week, thanks for sharing! What a useful content, greeting from Chile.
Woohoo, awesome! I hope you enjoy the meals! 💪

Where did you get the salad bowls?
Where are the recipes?
It's good but think most people don't want to get the same thing everyday. But if you make theses smaller and spread them out with other meals it's awsome .
Thanks for the feedback! We've heard this a few times and hope to have a solution for those people coming down the content pipeline soon. 😃
Best vegan meal prep I've seen so far. Simple and easy to prepare while also beaing tasty. This is a plan I could follow for awhile without getting bored of it.
And the ingrediants are cheap!
Awesome, so glad you enjoy the meal prep! 🙂
Wow! Riveted during the entire video! Very well organized and edited. Love seeing the generous level of protein that can be accomplished from a plant-based meal plan. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Check out our other meal prep videos on our channel! 🌱🙂
It's incredible useful, but the only problem is...I don't have enough containers😅
I've been a vegetarian since I was in the single digits, but I still learned so much from this highly educational and well researched video!
Glad we could help! 😊
Jeepers, I just came across your video. What a great job you do. The food looks amazing. Your explanation of all nutrients is excellent. Thank you. Keep up the good work. I can see your channel growing. I plan to tell everyone to start watching your videos. 😊
Thank you so much, Donna! I appreciate your support 💚
Thank you SO much for the easy prep instructions. Most importantly, the breakdown of nutrients in each ingredient. That was so helpful!!
Thank you for the kind words! So glad you found the video helpful. I try to keep things as easy and simple as possible to replicate!! 😃
Just found your Content -absolutely love it. One of the biggest struggles I have with meal prep is that it takes so darn long. Love having quick ideas like these for times when I don’t have time or energy to spend on prep
Glad you love the content! We try to make our meal preps simple and quick! 🌱🙂
I love your videos, especially when recipe links are provided! I appreciate all you do, please keep the meal ideas coming. Thank you!! 🥰
Check out the other meal prep videos on our channel as well!
You can skip the salt n leave veggies together in one bowl as well
best meals prep ever !! my nutritionist was insisted that I have to take meats to be able to burn fats, I've diving in youtube looking for vegan meals with high Protin and amino acids !! but your meals are extraordinary, they have everything I need !
Thank you so much for the kind words! This kind of comment is what helps push me to make great content. What meal are you most excited to make? 😃💚
I woukd love to see more of this in a quick fashion... Perhaps offer both options.
This video is an answer to my prayers. I have been looking for ideas to ease into a vegan lifestyle without sacrificing necessary dietary elements. Your video fits the bill and I will follow for more great ideas. Thank you. And give Mr. Pumpkin a head rub from me!
Thank you for such a wonderful comment! This is the kind of comment that pushes me to make more great content! 😃💚
I was desperate today bc I haven’t figured a meal plan and apparently god or TH-cam listened to my convo and here you are. THIS IS AMAZING PREP. ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 thanks so much for the macro breakdown! I’ve used your macro calculator and it’s really accurate
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🌱🙂💚
thanks for the effort man, I was looking for something like this since a long time
Could I use pumpkin seeds instead of sunflower seeds in the overnight oats?
Good question! Yes, that's definitely an option 🌱😃
I LOVE this meal prep! The meals look delicious and it is very realistic that I will make it becauae it is so simple.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy! 😊
Ty so much for breaking it down...with the proteins n iron.you did a great job.
Absolutely!! Glad you found the video so helpful. 😄
I love your videos when you show how easy it is to prepare several days worth of vegan foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Thank you very much!
The only issue I have is with the chickpea pasta. That banza brand has a very high amount of glycophosphates. Hopefully i can find another brand of high protein yummy pasta that's organic.
Please keep the meal prep videos coming!!! I love all of them and use them every week ❤
So happy to hear you're enjoying all of the meals! 😁
These videos are so helpful, thank you so much!!
Looks really good! The only thing that surprised me was the cooking time for the dinner. Even if I use dried beans I usually cook on high only for like 40 min.. is there any specific reason for such a long cooking time? I would assume the veggies are properly cooked long before that?
Great question! "Low and slow" adds a lot of flavor to chili, but you can always use an instant pot instead to significantly cut down on the cooking time. 🙂
Thank you for sharing. Very helpful and great recipes.
Amazing video, I meal prep every three days or so, this way the food is fresher. I also recommend preparing different menus for each meal time. This way is easier to stay vegan and getting all the nutrients you need. Also you won’t fill the entire fridge with containers unless you live on your own.
love it, most vegan recipes i find on yt is low calorie and protein so this is fantastic!
Glad you like it! 🙂
Love that it is whole foods and doesn't have meat substitutes. Which i like, but i know they aren't the best thing for me so I'd like to cut back on them or even eliminate them except for maybe a treat now and then eventually. Also, need to get back to eating oats more. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn recommends eating them at least everyday. 😊
This is excellent. I will definitely give it a try.
Great video, very educational! I love the precision of this meal prep ❤😂
Thank you!! Glad you found the meal prep helpful. 😄
Finding great sources for plant based eating is difficult. But here is one of the best.
I'm glad we could help! 🙂
❤ this! Thank you so much. I needed to eat healthier for my health and I love not having to spend a lot of time or spend a fortune doing it. And it all looks wonderful. Can't wait to try!!!
I hope you enjoy! 🙂
Can you let me know what sort of containers you use to store your prepped foods? Thanks so much! Great video!
Been a vegetarian now trying vegan and i found your channel quite helpful thx mate
That's great to hear!! Please continue to use the channel as a resource. I would recommend the other meal prep videos to get an idea of some fantastic healthy vegan meals. 💚
you are trying to avoid adding moisture, but if you add salt to cut veggies, its gonna release water, try avoiding. and you can add while consuming.
Okay, when you stated you now like cats because of Mr. Pumpkin, I subscribed! I just discovered your TH-cam and love it. As a senior citizen, I have been diagnosed with celiac, and diabetes. I also have high cholesterol. To combat the diabetes and the ability to eat due to celiac, I began aating "mostly" vegan. I am now off all meds, lost about 20 lbs, and feel so good. I have always walked 30 minutes every day so that too continues. Now I have unfound energy, no brain fog, and my cholesterol is the lowest it has been in years. Thank you for your meal plans and watched the Tofu one which I will definitely try as I have only used Tofu for smoothies. The protein is the most important though. Thank you for your channel. I too eat GF oatmeal (Bob's Red Mill) almost every morning with added sugar free nut butters, blueberries, nuts and love it. Having said I eat vegan, I do eat salmon and tuna fish and occasional eggs but your channel may ultimately change that. Thank you! (and love Mr. Pumpkin...lol)
Thank you for sharing your story! We're glad to have you!!
Thanks for this amazing video! I just made 4 days of meal prep the same Breakfast, lunch, and dinner! I can’t wait to see how everything tastes and last this week.
Very nice!! Please let us know what you liked best and if you would have changed anything! 😊💚
@@TheVeganGym Everything is soo good!I used Non-Fat Greek yogurt for the overnight oats because I’m not 100% vegan (yet), I just wanted a meatless healthier option for my meal prep this week, but I kept everything else the same! This was my first time eating tempeh, I was a bit skeptical because it has a peanut like smell, but the chili is bomb! I made my chili in a crockpot and added a bit more spices to mine! I also added jalapeño because I love heat! The salads are also super filling and great!10/10 meal prep! Thanks! 🔥
I tried the lentil salad. Omg it was really good. I came across this video as I was looking for meals to make this week. I loved everything about the salad. Lots of flavor in every bite especially with the olives. Thank you for being an inspiration.
That's amazing to hear!! Thank you for the kind words.
Popcorn hack is to spray balsamic vinegar or another vinegar on the popcorn before adding seasoning so it sticks to the popcorn!
Oooh interesting!! Thanks for sharing this tip, I've never heard it before! 😃
@@TheVeganGym I've been doing it for years! It's so good! Especially when you start experimenting with different balsamic flavors (California Balsamic) and spices!
woooow thank you SO MUCH for everything and the grocery list!!!! saved so much time!!
Glad you got so much out of it! 🙂
