What are some healthy vegan meals that are easy to freeze and reheat?

Question

My mom is making it really difficult for me to be a vegan (I just started) she's having me make my own meals, and she's in the kitchen making her own meals when I need to be too. So I'm thinking that I should make and freeze my own meals ahead of time, and then put them in the microwave when I want to eat. Also, it would be good if they were high protein, low carb.

Thank you so much.

Answer 1

same with me! one staple food i always have in the freeze is a black bean mix. Buy a can of tomato and black beans and mix them with corn, spinach, broccoli, onion, vegan cheese, whatever. They freeze and heat up very well in the microwave and on the stove top. If you have whole wheat tortilla wraps in the fridge they are very good with it, low carb too. With veggie dressing they taste great. The dish can be eaten alone too!

Also i freeze a lot of tofu and tomato sauce. Its simple, just crumbled tofu with the red sauce. You can put pasta with it, but if your watching carbs you can eat it alone. Its good if you add things like tomato, spinach, onion when you take it out.

good luckk!!

Answer 2

Pot pie freezes well and will last you for a while too. It is really good! Here is a recipe:

Pot Pie

Ingredients:

FOR THE CRUST

5 Tablespoons flour

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil

2-4 tablespoons warm water

FOR THE FILLING

1/2 cup vegetable broth

1 tablespoon flour

1/4 cup frozen (or fresh) mixed vegetables

3/8 teaspoon dried basil

3/8 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine all of the dried ingredients for the crust.

2. Stir with a fork while slowly drizzling in the olive oil.

3. Then, ¼-½  at a time, pour in the water and knead by hand until you get a firm, moist dough.

4. Form into a ball, set it in a bowl and chill it in the refrigerator.

5. While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bring the broth to a boil in a saucepan.

6. Turn the heat to medium-low and slowly sift in the flour while whisking the broth.

7. When the last of the flour is in, the broth should be much thicker.

8. Turn off the heat and set aside.

9. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and lightly dust the work surface with flour.

10. Split the dough in half (slightly bigger chunk for the bottom crust).

11. Roll out the dough until it's 2-3 inches wider than the pie plate.

12. Lightly coat the plate in oil and dust with flour.

13.Lay the crust in the plate and make sure it is evenly covering the plate.

14.Put the frozen vegetables into the pie in an even layer.

15.Cover with the gravy and sprinkle with the seasonings.

16.Roll out the rest of the dough and cover the pie.

17.Trim off the excess crust and seal shut by pressing with a fork all the way around the edge.

18. Make a few puncture holes in the top of the crust to vent any steam.

19. Place the pie in the oven for 40 minutes, or until the edges are brown and the top is dry.

20. Let cool for at least ten to fifteen minutes before cutting. This will allow the gravy to thicken up a bit.

21. Cut into the pie and check. If the gravy is still pretty thin and soupy, let it cool for a while longer.

Answer 3

I frequently make for myself dinners that include rice or pasta (maybe from a store-bought mix), one or two vegetables (canned), maybe canned beans; these dinners are for just two or three days -- including the day I make them, so that microwaving my dinner is for one or two days -- and I refrigerate them. I might eat a fake meat in addition to those foods, but I cook it on the day I eat it.

These are not necessarily "high protein, low carb", and there are not many days of just reheating the dinner (unless bigger amounts of the foods involved are used), I know.

Answer 4

Basic vegetables mixed with quolia and beans are good.

Vegan chili.

Bean and tofu enchilada.

Soups.
