This is a snapshot into what I eat in a day being plant based, and let's be honest these are all easy vegan recipes that anyone can make!
    I try to share what I eat in a day being vegan and healthy, so I hope you enjoy it!

    "Lazy lunch": prepares whole meals. My lazy lunch: take a slice of bread, spread peanut butter on it, put it in my mouth. LOL

    Hey everyone! I would like to make it clear that the term 'lazy' is for the youtube algorithm, and these meals were 'more labour intensive' than a v lazy meal because... that wouldn't be interesting to watch. Yes, for me a very lazy meal means getting something out of the freezer or having a couple pieces of toast and a banana... but I doubt that would be very interesting to watch. So please take this video with a pinch of salt, as it is a product of how the platform forces to create content. This is also a look at the 'kinds' of meals I'm able to make because of course I make my own schedule. When I had a full time job and was creating youtube videos on the weekends or before work, my meals still looked similar.

    Hey Friends ! Today's video is a second in a series of 'a week of lazy vegan lunches.' The last one did pretty well so I thought I would continue and create a series as I too love watching, What I Eat In a Week videos etc. Hope you enjoy! If you do please give it a like and subscribe and it really supports my channel xx

    I Absolutely Adore that you demonstrate eating leftovers!!! When my children were young I would have built in “leftovers” nights when meal planning-I would empty out the fridge of its containers & ask each child what they wanted on his/her plate. They would come up with combinations of foods I never would have thought of. We each loved it! & it gave me ideas on how to serve certain foods in new ways. Win-Win! Thank You for another great video🙏

    This high school sewing teacher (🇨🇦) likes to occasionally bring two lunches/snacks to school to share with a colleague (cuz I believe that the greatest way to create happiness for oneself is to create happiness for others). I know some teacher friends who are going to be uber-thrilled to share some of these lunches. Thank-you for all your plant-based kitchen inspo Immy. 🌎💦Ⓜ️ary🌿

    I know that the use of the word lazy to describe these lovely colourful meals was completely well-intentioned, but I do hope people watching this will realise that this is NOT how lazy looks like for an average person (let alone someone in a full-time office job, parents, anyone struggling with depression, fatigue...). Please do NOT feel bad about yourself if your idea of lazy is a ready meal or a slice of bread with hummus. Again, this is NOT meant as a criticism of Immy or her video which is absolutely wonderful, but I do wish that the massive privilege needed to consider these meals 'lazy' was pointed out.

    • @SustainablyVegan
      @SustainablyVegan  Před 2 lety +13

      You're right I should have mentioned that I have a lot of time privilege here and I'm sorry I didn't. I also tried to make this video more visually interesting by assembling meals rather than showing my SUPER efficient toast and a banana. I will make this clearer next time! Thanks for your comment Tara, I really appreciate it.

  • @celineklein
    @celineklein Před 2 lety

    love the calm vibe of this video 🥰
    And as someone who cooks daily with a lot of preparation and thought beforehand, any meal that I don't plan where I just throw anything I have on hand together seems a bit 'lazy' to me lol but of course the meals were still labour intensive so I understand that for most people it's not the typical lazy meal!

  • @darcyferrigno
    @darcyferrigno Před 2 lety

    I love "bottom of the fridge" meals. I remember growing up my mom would almost weekly make random veggie soup with the veg that needed to be used up. Sometimes brothy and sometimes creamy but always good. Also, I am glad I am not alone in my making of bizarre, random bowls. As long as I have a tahini dressing, i can add anything to the bowl and find it yummy.

    I recently made some black bean chilli and had a lot of black bean broth left . Sauteing whole cummin seeds and tomato paste with some cacao powder in olive oil. Adding small dices of what ever vegetables into the pot. Also added small glass of coffee, leftover spicy pickle juices, and the black broth with spices. OMG it was so good. It's a pick me up broth. Love how you use up your stuff in the fridge. Thanks again....

    That lentil recipe is really close to how I prepare lentils/lentil soup! I’m Colombian and usually beans or lentils are served alongside rice as a side with meat but also commonly eaten just together as a soup with rice on the side. The recipe is very similar it’s onions, garlic, and cumin cooked with lentils (we use green lentils) and you can add coconut milk if you like as well for the soup or add in green peppers if you like :D

    End of the week-fridge-cleanout couscous salad is just the best! Or, sometimes we make lentil patties and stuff them with left over carrot, bell peppers or other crunchy veg in the batter. Or Letscho- basically hungarian ratatouille with more tomato sauce and onions.
    To be honest, I'd eat the pickles as are ;)

    • @marycharlebois6627
      @marycharlebois6627 Před 2 lety

      Hi Astrid j.f. I just discovered the joys of homemade ratatouille last weekend. I’m not a fan of eggplant so I substituted tofu instead. I love that ratatouille is a versatile dish and it uses up lots of veg from our garden especially zucchini. Like you, I also love lentil patties. Have a great upcoming weekend.

    Those ‘lazy’ lunches look so delicious to me and are far more inventive than anything I can ever rustle up; Im going to try each one of those recipes. I basically have predictably one of the three ‘S’s for lunch: salads, soups or sandwiches and save the whammies for supper. So, now Im wondering if your lunches are your main meals and what kind of meal you eat in the evenings?

I don't have a mesh strainer and I put very little effort into trying to soak the lentils before cooking them up cuz I didn't think it was needed and I am FEELING IT. My body hates me. Don't be like me. Rinse. The. Lentils.
