Easy vegan meal suggestions?

Question

I'm a uni student and new vegan :) I don't have a lot of time to cook and my supplies are kinda limited because of price but I'm looking for simple food ideas?

I usually do something like this:

Loads of veg boiled for a short time (still pretty hard) with seeds and nuts

Tonnes of veg and lentils in a wrap again with seems and nuts

Potatoes, veg and lentils

Chickpea, avocado salad

...I know I need more grains but I don't know how to cook them all and brown rice takes forever :/ suggestions?

(I also snack on fruit and veg throughout the day)

Answer

Congrats on going vegan 😊

I eat a lot of the same things you do and have been on a tight budget since, well, always. I'll add a few things - pasta with marinara is a staple for me if you dont already eat it, or pasta with earth balance, nutr yeast and salt, also udon noodle stir frys, homemade veggie soups and stews over white rice ( I make huge batches that last me all week tho not sure if its possible in your situation), baked tofu and tofu scrambles, and tacos with refried beans purple cabbage and lime juice. For snacks usually carrots and hummus. And potatoes every day haha.

Best of luck 😄

Answer

Oh! And for grains OATMEAL, I get some that has quinoa in it for extra protein. Use water or coconut milk to cook it, add a bunch of fruit and you've got yourself some tasty vegan grains :)

Answer

Isa Chandra Moskowitz is a vegan cook with many cookbooks. I love her books cuz the ingredients are usually fairly common, the recipes are delicious but usually simple and she's always including tips with the recipes.

Answer

Go out and get yourself some good protein powder. I got mine from Whole foods I think. It's a raw vegan protein shake thing.
For lunch almost every day I make banana "nicecream". You'll need a blender (I got mine at target for $14), a frozen banana, any and all fruit/veggies, some kind of milk (I use coconut) and your protein powder.
The nicecream is SOOO good and it fills you up too!
My favorite is: 1 frozen banana, about 1/3 cup coconut milk, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 scoop of probiotics, half an avocado, a handful of grapes, a spoonful of peanut butter all blended together, then add whole grapes and a few carob chips on top YUM!

Answer

Answer

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a great cheap and easy breakfast or anytime quick meal

Answer

Try minute rice. It takes about five minutes on a rolling boil, high pan. My favorite is to cook pasta/rice and add sriracha and a dash of maple syrup. It's so good! Also, try some pita bread and stuff it full of hummus and veggies. Or you can even get romaine leaves and use them as taco shells and load them up with veggies and hummus.

Answer

Burritos are also pretty easy to make with anything you want inside, tofu or beans; chopped up tomatoes or jarred salsa, avocado and/or lettuce lettuce; rice if you end up taking the time to make it
