- When you make the switch to a whole food plant-based lifestyle it can seem like a daunting task to suddenly feel like you need to cook three fancy meals from scratch each day. I'll show you what I call my LAZY MEAL PREP HACKS for the week that take the heavy lifting out of plant-based living.
Batch cooking "base" foods like grains, beans, sweet potatoes, tofu, and greens to use for multiple meals and then accenting them with simple salad dressings and sauces is the key.
I also share WHAT I EAT IN A DAY showing you how I easily incorporate the base dishes into my daily routine. Say goodbye to complicated recipes and hello to delicious simplicity. Get ready to revolutionize your meal prep routine!

I have chronic illness so most things are too much energy for me to prep most the time. Thanks for these ideas, they help a lot make it seem doable
I love salads and do a non oil dressing, then I just eat some brown rice and quinoa or yam, etc with it so I feel fuller.
Love her vibe and recipes. She's so down to earth. I did her 28-day intro to plant-based eating and really enjoyed it and have kept mainly going plant-based with some eggs and fish now and then.
I've watched a lot of meal prep videos where they never showed how to put the ingredients together, so thank you so much for the ideas!
You’re so pretty your skin is glowing, the diet is working.
Thank you for this video. When I first started eating WFPB I swear I about drove myself nuts and wasted so much food. I thought I had to cook all these varieties of foods that I was seeing on CZcams videos. I no longer do that. I now tell people to pick out some basic menu's they like and rotate this. You can always try something new once a week or so.
Keeping some basics made makes life so much easier. Great job on this video.
Thank you for this video!!!! It is super helpful on what to eat. Please consider a 4 week series every quarter so we can get ideas for each season.
I am SO excited! I’ve gotten away from eating plant-based foods, but when I did for several years, this was exactly how I rolled! Thank you so much for reinspiring me with the easy, make-ahead meals. I’ve printed it out and immediately purchased a membership. This will save my life!! Your process is priceless. :)
Yay! Welcome back. 😀
Ha! Grain/bean mixes are the best! Thanks for the tips.
Omg that dinner looks AMAZING!
Ich danke Ihnen für das Teilen!
Absolutely loved this down to earth, realistic plan. And I could eat lentils for breakfast too!
These are my kind of meals. Wholesome ingredients prepared in my own kitchen. Best of all, assembled the way I like it at the time of eating. Sometimes I have a banana avocado smoothie with granola for dinner--quick, nutritious and satisfying, perfect after a day of work in the garden. BTW Jill, I used to sew aprons to give as gifts. The fabrics you've chosen to make your aprons looks absolutely beautiful on you. I would be highly interested if you started a clothing line. I know you thrift some of your clothes but I love your style and palette. A few pieces you've worn on your show (including the dress in this video) I would love to have in my wardrobe. So that you know, you've got a fan in me.
I love your message of keeping it simple. I very much resonate with this and it’s how I have continued eating this way for the past fourteen years. It is THE reason I can keep my family of four fed with healthy, whole plant foods. I just started making some videos of how I make super simple starch staples for our family, how to use the instapot etc. It can be so simple once your tastebuds adjust.
Im so glad i found your video!! It’s exactly ideas i needed!
Batch prep is almost a given when you eat WFPB, too easy otherwise to make poor last minute choices! I was confused, I thought "Rancho Gordo" was a type of bean, but it's a grower of a variety of heirloom beans. I'm sure they're wonderful, the "caviar" of beans, but just too pricy for my skimpy retirement budget when I can get 4 lbs of my favorite bean (cranberry/Roman) locally for the cost of one lb of theirs. Anyway, I was curious which one is your favorite bean?
I loved this episode , reason being , I have been bored with my meals lately, Thankyou so much , you are an inspiration to us all … yum.
It all looks great! I'm going to have to keep greens like that. It would make it easy to eat salad every day for lunch
Love this video......easy and organized! I am one so will cut in half. Many thanks. (Sometimes I watch one of Jill's videos just to relax......love her presentations!) Then I end up making the dish! A win-win!
That is so sweet! Thank you 🙏
I woke up in middle of the night and decided to watch these videos until I can fall asleep ... very soothing.
I am one also….but I am 6’8 and a big eater…..
I just made your grain mix, using oat groats instead of steel cut because that's what I had, and I'm very happy with it. I'll be making it over and over.
I tried some with a tiny bit of maple syrup, cinnamon, walnuts and raw cocoa powder and it will be excellent for breakfast, snack or dessert. I'll be topping it with bananas or other fruit as well.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you! Much love and appreciation ❤
Keep these videos coming! I love the meal prep ideas!
Great tips thank you! All the food looks delicious, love the idea of chopping up greens, they’re always an afterthought for me, this is great for weeknights when i have no time or energy to spare..🍄🌎🌱☮️🦋
Everything looks good, I must get back to my eating better when I come back from Quebec, Ontario
Thank you so much. This was very helpful.
Love this video!
This is wonderful! So helpful! thank you so much!! Can't wait for the new book to arrive ❤😊🙌
We will be following this for our bulking phase for the rest of the year! Thank you!!!
Helpful!👍
Thank you for this video! More please! Thank you! ❤❤❤
Great video! Thank u and God Bless!
Great idea! I’m making it today!!❤
Thank you so much! The grain mix is amazing!! …. makes a lovely change to the usual! You are brilliant ❤
Oh my! Don’t you check them for those Little Rock’s that get in there?! I enjoy your show, thanks for your recipes and videos.

Great ideas! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing!
Love this video. Exactly what we do!
Such nice ideas :D thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing 😊
This is amazing! Thank you. Would love to see more videos like this ❤
Love your channel!!.. Thanks for sharing 😀
Great idea I need to start meal prepping
Thank you so much for this video, I’m new and this was so helpful.
Very helpful video. I like that you show how you prepare those base ingredients and then go on to show how to use them in your meal prep.
We also love Rancho Gordo beans! Lucky me, I live in the town where their store is located, and it's a fun outing to walk over there and buy a few packages. This video reminded me to start doing weekly meal prep like you dp, to make things easier and not be tempted to grab something unhealthy if we're short on time.
Ps. Just yesterday ordered your book volume 2 🎉 can’t wait!! Looking forward to have this book in my kitchen! Thank you🫶
Great tips and great dress! Is that a pourer for the magic bullet ?!! Thanks guys
Yes, the lid with the pour spout 👍
It came with the first Nutribullet we had
Great tips and great dress! Is that a pourer for the magic bullet ?!! Thanks guys 💗💗
Thank you for this and showing us these plant foods ! I need rgis
Really thankful for your channel. I would love a tour of your kitchen. Just to see how you store items like food and equipment.
Loved watching this video and then she started talking about additional nutrients/vitamins and she shows complement which I already use yes!!!!
Thank you
Looks delicious. That Dinner portion looks too big for me. But would like to try some, yummy.Thank you.
I do love my fruit and oatmeal I put nuts and cinnamon in my oatmeal plus blueberries!
Thank you for this! PS, Your dress is lovely, as are you😊
Thank you. Can I just say, you are gorgeous and you glow. I'm a woman in my late 30's and would love to give off your vibe ( I don't, hehe) 😊
Love your video and it is what I have been looking for to begin meal prep. Most WFPB individuals show what they make and show pictures of what to eat but they do not show what is eaten each day. I would like to request a prep video like today, but also what you would make for each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) for 5 days or a week with what you prepped. Obviously you wouldn't eat the same meal for 5=7 days? Or would you? I need variety and would love for a video of prepped food, how to prep like you did and what your family ate with the meal prep for a week. If it is too long, maybe it could be a two part video?
Hi Jill,❤shalom peace
Thank you so much for this video! It's exactly what I need. I've been wondering whether every week I should prep a different bean and a different grain in the (beloved!) Instant Pot, and then chop up a variety of veggies, and try to form meals from that and by the looks of it, I'm thinking along the right lines for day to day eating. I don't like to cook every night, it's not one of those things that I enjoy - but I do enjoy cooking 2-3 times a week, and in between times, if it's OK to compile a Buddha bowl type of meal then I will be very happy with that. Thank you also for the lentils/grains combination - what a great idea that is, and I will definitely try that out in the near future. Phew! This video is like a weight off my shoulders.
PS. Black lentils are beluga lentils, right? They look the same. I have beluga lentils but haven't used them before, so this will be a great chance to use them. I have buckwheat, not the flour, but it cooks at the same speed as lentils because I've used it in another recipe, so perhaps that must be the groats. Well, we'll soon find out! And I have a ton of the right kind of oats already.
Meals look good. We don't get purple sweet potatoes here. Never would of thought of turning lentils into something a little sweet. Odd combos to me. But that is okay.
Jill, can you wiil make the italian cannolis plant-based for desert?
Now I’m all inspired 😅😂 thank you so much! I don’t know why I keep over complicating this way of eating
There are both red lentils and split mung beans in my morning porridge mix. They really do disappear from a flavor perspective.
I wish I lived with you guys or at least was your next-door neighbor and you would cook for me...... of course I would pay you!!😅
Loved this video. What is the grain base you used for breakfast?
Oat groats, buckwheat groats and black lentils, equal parts
I have just stumbled across your channel. Thank you, I love you content! Question here..... did you cook the sweet potatoes and carrots at the same time in the instapot? Following from Northern Minnesota.
Hi Eydie, welcome! yes we just throw them in together because it is easier. :)
@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow thank you
Hi Jill do you know where I can buy the organic purple sweet potatoes?
I guess we could pop it into the oven to heat up if a hot dinner is wanted🔥 (I don't use a microwave.)
I came here to ask- how to warm this without nuking it or drying it out?
@@jencollier8306 Perhaps cover it with silver foil in the oven?
Where did you purchase the large container for your greens?
Hi Jill , was wondering the variety of bean you used, is that a kidney bean ? I live in Canada and was wanting to order guerdo rancho beans. Thankyou.
Hello Jill🥰🛡️🌞♀️🌐
Hi Nora!
I bought your first cookbook and I love it! You said there would be links to the recipes you referenced in this video but I don’t see the African stew recipe. Where is the link?
plantbasedcookingshow.com/2020/05/24/vegan-african-peanut-sauce/
When you refer to the grains in the Instant Pot, do you allow for a natural release or do you release the pressure right away? Will it need draining, or will all that water have been absorbed? I wonder, could I reduce the amount to be cooked and the water by half? Or could I freeze half the grains if there was too much for me over a week?
Thank you for your videos. I use my instant pot for cooking my beans, but I do not soak them. I just rinse and cook. Is there a particular health benefit from soaking first vs me just rinsing and cooking? Thank you for your time.
Soaking releases some of the enzyme inhibitors into the water. Supposedly they are easier to digest and give you less gas. 👍
i've never had raw collards because i thought they're bitter without cooking (with bacon fat)
I have a very bad lectin sensitivity..what would you recommend in their place?
Can you tell me which cook book has the chocolate mint cake in it And easy to make Christmas cake and dinner thank you I am learning to cook at the age of 64 last based recipies
Hi Jill, just found your channel and am trying out some recipes. I just want to make sure I understand correctly - two people can eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner with the food you made in this video for 7 days? Or do you all other meals? Does in get repetitive to eat the same thing every day for a week?
I love all your recipes! They are mostly healthy and taste good! But would there be an eating plan, for those who choose to go vegan,and also lose weight?
What is that on the wall above the stove, please. A tablet? And how do you secure it to the wall?
Do you use seasoning?
Do ship to Mexico? I would really like to get Complemet Essentials.
Thank you for this! I need to order an InstaPot.. how big is THIS one in you video? Your link goes to the DUO 6QT - is that what you're using in this video? Or is yours bigger. Also your says IP-DUO but in the link there's only Duo, Crisp or Rio, please help me figure out which one is the best to get:)
Mine is an 8 qt duo. I will have to correct that link.

Can you please share how to cook without a instapot
I was wondering if you could link your favorite rancho gordo beans. I tried looking it up but there are a lot of varieties!
These are my 2 favorites

Salad dressing recipe, please
I have had 2 A/fib . 20# clogged arteries. I’m on thyroid and migraine meds. I lost my optic nerve at the age of. 45. All I have is my prefer. I did keto years ago. All I want is to be healthy and get lean. I’m so curious on trying this new lifestyle of plant based ! I’ve eaten eggs for years. Will this be hard to do?? Like my wife and I go out to restaurants and where planning a cruise next year. How can I start?
what about canned beans? Will that work?
Is there a downside to cooking food twice? Like acrylamides etc?
Can you show us some other meals that you can make with this lazy meal prep?
do these last all week in the fridge?
5-7 days in sealed containers
can you do some examples without the ingredients all laid out and measured? examples how you keep it and how you get it from storage to plate.
Great video! I'm assuming one adds the lentils and the grains together in the instant pot. In the email directions you only say add grains to the instant pot. Please clarify if you can. Thanks!
Yes, the grains and lentils all go in together at the same time. 👍 will update the directions.
@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow You are the BEST Jill!!! Thank you!!!
Oh yeah I go wi and feel tired. I’m not a drinker or smoker.I’m not a diabetic either!
I wonder if those beans can be sprouted?
How do you get enough protein?
I was told sweet potatoes are yellowish and yam is the pink/ purple ones. Is that not right?
Great stuff. Although I don't think you actually need to presoak the beans if you cook them in the Instant Pot.
Presoaking activates enzymes and starts a bunch of positive life process changes in the bean. Just cooking then does none of that.
That’s always a personal choice. I soak because it reduces the phytates that prevents mineral absorption & it’s easier on our digestion
I agree with the people who commented. Better for your digestion system
You can cook them in the IP without pre-soaking, but It takes longer, and the soaking makes them easier to digest.
