4 BULK VEGAN MEAL IDEAS | easy to do, yummy & healthy

These are my favourite meals that you can make in bulk and prepare before a busy day of work or school etc.

#1 Potato and corn chowder
Ingredients:
1 onion finely diced
2 cloves garlic
5 medium potatoes
2 sweet potatoes
3 medium sized carrots
1 can of corn
2 veggie stock cubes made in water (1 litre) or if you don't have veggie stock, add in around 5 cups/1 litre of water
3 cups extra water
1 cup red lentils (I only had green but any colour lentils will do)

Steps:

1. Fry onion and garlic until golden (I don't find it necessary to use oil)
2. Fry potatoes for 3-5 mins
3. Add in stock, carrot, lentils, corn and extra water
4. Let it simmer for 30-40mins stirring every 10mins
5. Enjoy with rice, noodles, in a wrap or spinach leaves
   tips:

• Adding in the veggie stock makes a huge difference in regards to flavour, but I have tried the recipe without it and still tastes fine.
• Good idea to chop potatoes in smaller chunks so its easier to eat
• When putting in container for the next day, make sure chowder is at room temp before putting in fridge! otherwise it will get soggy (.)/

#2 Veggie stir fry
All you need is any veggies desired, chopped up and cooked in a non-stick pan with a bit of water (unless you don't mind using oil, without it is best), and voila!
I didn't make a large amount in video, so make sure to use plenty of veggies in order to store in fridge- again make sure its cooled down before putting in fridge.
Tips:
-Mushrooms shrink so add heaps (if you like them)

• Add spinach last unless you don't mind it wilting
• Best not to add sauces when storing in fridge (will go soggy)
  This meal is super easy and takes around 10mins tops to make!

#3 Cereal
Pretty self explanatory, just use vegan ingredients!
tips:

• Adding maple syrup + fruit makes any cereal taste even better
• Look out for honey

#4 Lentil Dahl
Ingredients:
1 carrot finely, diced
1 cup of red lentils (or two cups if
you don’t have dahl) In video only had green lentils, taste similar just doesn't look as good.
1 cup dahl
1 brown onion, finely diced
1 tbsp of sugar
1 tsp of onion granules
3 tsp of curry powder
1 clove garlic
1 red chilli
5 cups of water or veggie stock
1 coriander bunch finely cut
Handful of cherry tomatoes

Steps:

1. Add onion, carrots, garlic, curry powder, chilli, coriander stalks and sauté with a bit of water until onions are transparent.
   2.Add lentils, dhal and the 5 cups of water or veggie stock, then add sugar and onion granules.
2. Bring to the boil then cover and lower heat to simmer for about 30mins until the dahl is soft. Stir every 5-10 minutes.
   4.Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and grill for 5 min until brown. Serve with rice & top with tomatoes and coriander :)
