A Week of Meal Prep With Garden To Freezer Meals
One Week of Plant-Based Meal Prep with Garden-to-Freezer Ease
Meal prep doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. It can be joyful, colorful, and deeply nourishing when it flows with the seasons and starts from your garden—or your local farmers’ market.
With just three freezer-friendly recipes, a few fresh staples, 4 servings of salad, 3 protein shakes or yogurt bowls, and 1–2 easy snacks, I’ve mapped out a full week of vibrant meals that carry you from morning to night without sacrificing flavor or intention.
✨ The Recipes:
Garden Quiche – Herby, satisfying, and loaded with greens. Perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Smokey Black Bean Rancheros – A bold, fiber-rich base for tacos, bowls, or wraps.
Nawlins Ratatouille – Soulful veggie stew with French-Creole flair. Warming and filling for dinner.
Add to that:
4 servings of salad (think kale, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, crispy tofu or mushrooms, and herbs with a simple vinaigrette)
2–3 servings of yogurt bowls or protein shakes for quick breakfasts or post-workout nourishment
