55+ Easy Vegan Meal Prep Recipes

Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

The absolute best vegan meal prep recipes from quick breakfasts and portable lunches to tasty snacks and comforting dinners! The following vegan mason jar recipe is great for assembling 1-4 days in advance, super versatile, healthy and delicious!

Ingredients

  • Herby ranch dressing
  • Corn kernels
  • Chickpeas
  • Cucumber, diced
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Red onion, diced
  • Mixed leafy greens
  • Pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. Grab a few 16-oz or 32-oz mason jars (as many as you want to meal prep) and make the salad dressing by adding all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. You can use your favorite vegan salad dressing (30+ recipes here) for your salads. You need around 2 tbsp of dressing for each 16-oz jar!
  3. To assemble the mason jar salads, start with the dressing at the bottom. This will keep it far away from your leafy greens so they stay fresh for longer!
  4. Next, drain, wash and chop all of the ingredients from above and layer them in the exact order they are listed.
  5. Important: you need to place corn or chickpeas at the bottom and delicate greens on top!
  6. Once you’ve assembled your mason jar salads, close them with a lid and put them in the fridge where they’ll last 4-5 days.
  7. Grab your to-go lunches in the morning, dump the content in a large bowl and mix all ingredients with the dressing once you’re ready to eat!

Notes

  • Mason jar salads are perfect for meal prep, especially when they require only fresh and canned ingredients.
  • Get creative when making your own salads in a jar and add foods like quinoa, pasta, vegan cheese, bell peppers, edamame, spinach, shredded carrots, red cabbage, avocado, fresh or dried fruit.
