Vegetarian Meal Prep Ideas: Frequently Asked Questions

Have more questions? We have answers. Here are some of the most common inquiries we receive about vegetarian meal prep.

How long do prepped vegetarian meals last in the fridge?

Most vegetarian meal prep dishes, like grain bowls, roasted vegetables, and lentil soups, will last for 3 to 5 days when stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Salads with delicate greens are best assembled just before eating.

We recommend glass containers as they are durable, microwave-safe, dishwasher-safe, and don’t absorb odors or stains. Look for containers with airtight, leak-proof lids to ensure maximum freshness.

Getting enough protein is easy with smart planning! Incorporate protein-rich ingredients like chickpeas, lentils, tofu, tempeh, quinoa, nuts, and seeds into your meals. Many of our recipes are specifically designed to be high in plant-based protein.

Yes, it can be a very effective tool for weight management. Meal prepping helps with portion control and ensures you have healthy, nutrient-dense meals readily available, which reduces the temptation to opt for less healthy convenience foods.

The best way for a beginner to start is to keep it simple. Begin by prepping just one or two recipes for the week, like a large batch of soup for lunches or roasted vegetables to add to any meal. As you get more comfortable, you can gradually increase the number of meals you prep.
