Transitioning to a vegan or plant-based diet can be confusing when you don't have a plan. In this video, I walk you through the basic vegan meal prep strategy I use with my weight loss clients. I will give you three major pointers to keep in mind, such as use familiar transition meals, have a plan each day before the next arrives, and batch cook/prep all your meals.

The vegan meal prep begins with putting together a week's worth of soup and salad, then how to batch prep grains/starches, legumes, plant-based snacks, and oatmeal. It is crucial to find easily adaptable meals that suit your taste preferences when transitioning from the Standard Western Diet to a healthy plant-based diet. I also recommend batching all your meals and snacks to have healthy options readily available at all times. Another important piece to this strategy is to vary your ingredients weekly. This includes switching up your grains, greens, legumes, nuts/seeds, fruits, veggies, herbs/spices.
