  • you re seriously one of the BEST vegan food content creators out here. the amount of thought you put in your recipes is just incredible, like this meal prep is so realistic and adaptable based on where one lives, the rest of the grocery shopping like lavash, noodles are all so doable
  • @Meggs23
    More prep videos like this! I love this method. Been doing it for a few years now and it's fantastic. I learned it from basically how chefs prep their kitchen for dinner service. I prep the parts and then pull together quick meals throughout the week. ... I also add frozen parts that can be defrosted overnight for more ready to go items at the end of the week since most fresh ingredients only last 3-4 days.
  • To anyone reading this comment: take this as your sign to try this!! I have done all the recipes this week and it was incredible. I have been meal prepping for years and I grew so incredibly bored of it.... then I found this plan! The flavours are so beautifull and balanced, I started the week with the "Grain Bowl" and holy sh*t I was mindblowned by how bright it was. I am french and turns out, my mom was right, a good sauce can turn anything into a feast! Thank you for putting this great meal plan out there and to anyone else: DO IT!
  • @JJ-zw3qi
    Nisha - doctor here and your meals are so wonderful and complete. Your research into not only the culinary prep but also the macro/micronutrient content is so clear and thoughtful. Please keep more videos with this method coming. Love your content always!
  • @mariamayrand8753
    The meal prep took me a bit more than an hour but it was time well spent. Each meal has incredible flavor and they are all different from each other so it doesn't feel like you are eating the same thing all week. This was the best! More please!
  • @DVB1848
    Who wants to eat the same food more than twice in the same week? I always wondered why would YouTubers want to advocate that silly habit? I am glad you have realised that.
  • @Pumpkinnan
    Love this! And it’s helpful for me in that I’m a lone vegan that has 2 carnivores in same house. I only cook for myself, thankfully, as I’m smiling at 70. Thank you for organizing this in a way that works for me, and in smaller amounts.
  • @pkeys88
    I’m sure I’m speaking for a lot of us when I say THANK YOU for the link to the pdf recipe document. We appreciate the fact that you do these videos and also hook us up with the actual recipe. ❤
  • @DimaRakesah
    This is what I do. I ingredient prep. Make a pot of potatoes, chop up veggies, cook mushrooms, cook a grain like rice, cook any beans or lentils, make sauces. Then when it's time to cook most of my ingredients are ready to toss into a bowl. I'll slice up some cooked potatoes and throw them in the air fryer for 5 minutes, fill a bowl with greens and veggies, maybe heat up a grain like rice or barley. Drizzle with a tasty sauce and done!
  • @franciscachesca
    You made becoming Vegan so easy and a lot tastier for me 🙏 love meal prep content ❤
  • @makeupbymonicag
    These videos are so helpful. One suggestion can you possibly add a list of ingredients needed at the store to the PDF? This will save me so much time in the future and help with grocery shopping. Thank you. Great videos. I love them.
  • Get out of my head, Nisha!🤣I have at least 30 years of cooking professionally and, frankly, this is what I do (as far as meal prep) with ,maybe, one more elaborate component(casserole or stew) which I freeze in small portions so I can pull them out every 3 weeks or so. You are so ahead of the game (teaching people to eat vegan) ,so talented. Honestly, I feel a little jelous of your parents... I hope they know how precious and amazing you are. And your part of making this a better planet. Much Love and Peace from Upstate NY <3 :)
  • @Dr.RCJr.
    Brilliant!! More videos like this please. This semi meal prep on Sunday is much appreciated. Excellent job!
  • Now that's a common sense meal prep. I love it. Everything looked sooooo delicious. Thanks much. ❤
  • I can’t tell you how much I adore this quick prep concept. Batch cooking a week’s worth of meals and then eating leftovers all week is not my cup of tea, so this is PERFECT! Looking forward to more quick prep ideas. Thanks so much!!
  • @smilesam
    Absolutely love this!! This is the kind of meal prep content that’s actually helpful. Especially on a budget. I hate when a recipe says “use half an onion” or something and then I’m left trying to figure out what to do with the extra half for a meal. It seems like all the stuff here gets used, and any additional things like seasonings or a sauce to add are staples that won’t go quickly. I would honestly love a months worth of this type of meal prep content. Especially if it hopped around between different kinds of cuisines, so it stays feeling fresh. Anyways! Great video
  • @imperfecthippie
    Your meal prep videos are my FAVORITE! Please more 🤍
  • @ipinta16
    Awesome meal prep! Please, we want more of those videos.
  • @trangdinh1254
