I usually like Maddie’s videos before even watching lol. Very inspiring 😊❤
I just found this video and already liked and subscribed!! Awesome video, thx!!
@@ebells33 Aww welcome and thank you for being here! 🤗🤗
Maddie and Let’s Eat More Plants is one of my top three vegan channels to recommend to newbies, and she is the Best at meal prep and great recipes for all occasions! One of my fav GoTos. 💚
3:30 You can absolutely regrow that lettuce! We do it all the time. Put the roots in water or you can even just straight up plant it. We usually peel off and eat most of the leaves saving a small inner portion, put it in water till you see it growing than in dirt if you like. You can easily double your return on the cost of that lettuce. Also, When you trim the ends of your bok choy you can put that root end in water and it will sprout as well. You get more of bok choy greens growing from it than a whole new bok choy. Even cut herbs can sprout and be regrown and planted. Plants just want to grow and treated right you can stretch your dollar.
Yay!! I feel like I have tried before and never been successful but it’s time to try again. 😆😆 I have seen my FIL do it with herbs… he’s great it! I appreciate all your tips here, thank you! 🤓
Wow, I did not know that. @nancyneyedly4587 do you have a gardening channel? Thank you!
Best plant based channel on UA-cam .
Well thank you for this amazingly sweet comment! 🥰🥰 I love to see that there are SO many amazing plant based & vegan channels out there now! And thank you for thinking of me among them. 🥹🥹
Such a great, practical video! When I do batch prepping like this, I have an easy stress-free week of meals and more time to play.
Thank you! 🤗🤗 Yes, isn’t it wonderful? I love also not having to make food for my hubby if we eat on different schedules… I just point him to the fridge and he can whip up his own soupy noodles or whatever he’s in the mood for. 😄😄
Greens in a tea towel… definitely going to try that.
I've been doing it for years and have always had great success with it! Just don't forget it's there! (I've done that too. 😂🙈)
Maddie, love the straightforward system, and the "have a meal ready by the end" is now that you've said it, I'm flabbergasted I haven't been. So many times after a prep I'm tired (and a bit hangry) -- right when the fam starts nosing around "You've been in the kitchen so long what's to eat?" Aaaah. As always great info and tips!
Awww yay! So glad it was helpful! And YES, I had been feeling that exact same way and realized I need that something ready to eat as soon as I’m done! 😰😰 After cleaning and everything else I definitely don’t want to cook again for the rest of the day. 😆
I've had an either/or, I'm *prepping* or I'm *cooking* too! There really isn't a reason we should be starving and facing a meal job after prep!
@@justalurkr So true! 😃
I love that you made all that delicious food in 13 minutes ;) Your all set for the week!
Haha thank you! Gotta love the magic of editing. 😆😆 Wish that was how long it actually took. 🫠🫠
My little trick to make the cashew ranch even better is to use black salt in place of plain salt. Just like in tofu scrambles, it adds that little bit of egg-i-ness that you get from the mayonnaise in regular ranch. Also, this is about the most helpful video I've ever watched. Everything in here was super helpful to this overwhelmed mom just trying to eat healthier.
Heyyy that’s a great tip! Thank you, I’ve never tried it in ranch. 🤩🤩 And omg what a sweet comment. 🥹🥹🥹 I’m so glad it was helpful! 🤗
You are so inspiring. I watch your videos for therapy. Wait did I say that out loud! 😮😂
Awwww what a sweet comment! 🥹🥹🥹🥹 Hahaha I love that! 🤗 I watch some food UA-camrs for therapy too. 😅
Great tips. I love this way of batch cooking!
Thanks for sharing your ideas and demonstrating how well this works!
You’re very welcome! 🤗🤗 I love it too. It’s the method I use most of the time. ☺️
Great video. I love the ideas with the cashew milk. I had never thought of changing the flavours thus the use. Thank you.
You’re welcome! So glad you found it helpful. 🤗🤗
Love this
So many great ideas Maddie thank you!
You’re welcome! 🤗🤗
thank you! this was super helpful. going to give this method of meal prep a try this week :)
You're welcome! Let me know how it goes for you. 😃🌱 I do think it's helpful to plan a couple meal ideas when choosing what to batch prep. (Unless you're really good at looking at the fridge and whipping something up based on ingredients!) So I try and choose a couple recipes that use the same ingredients... i.e. like the millet I knew I would use for breakfast and then could also be used as the base of salads or in buddha bowls... then it really helps to narrow down what to prep. I'll be sending out a couple more recipes and tips in my weekly newsletter if you're interested: bit.ly/lep-newsletter 🤗🤗
Thanks Maddie this is so well done and helpful 🤗
Aww you’re so welcome! Glad you enjoyed. 🤗🤗
Such a great way to prep. Definitely going to try this ❤️
Awesome! I love hearing that! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed. 🤗🤗
Such a good video...learn soooo much from you...loved the pasta dish!! Just amazing!!
Aww thanks Kathleen! 🥰🥰 So glad it was helpful!
Lovely video; I got some great ideas and am def. gonna try the cashew sauce!
It's my absolute fave!! I use it on so many things. Add a pinch of salt and it's ready for any savory dish. Add a splash of maple syrup and it's perfect for something sweet. Nutritional yeast will make it cheesy... the possibilities with that sauce alone are endless. 😅😅
I'm so glad I found you on UA-cam. Great information and ideas. I needed this. Have a blessed day
That’s great to hear! I’m glad you’re here too. 🤗🤗
Great video. Millet is now on the grocery list and the meal plan for next week.
Thank you farm girl! So good to see your name pop up! 🤗🤗 Let me know how you like the millet. 😁
Fantastic video as always Maddie 🤗 thank you for sharing. I don't know where I would be without your meal prep course right now. Batch prep is my only option while working fulltime and studying to stay on top and eat healthy! Hardly coming up for air 😂 Much love from BrisVegas 🏝🥰
Samantha!! So good to hear from you! 🤗💕 What are you studying for?? Thank you for the kind words, and I’m so glad it has helped. 🥹🥹 Hope you guys are staying warm this winter!
Lots of meal variety here!

Awww what a sweet comment! Thank you! 🥹🥹🤗🤗
I have not been good eating my veggies for way too long now. Glad I came across your video. I need to prep my veggies because of they were prepped and/or cooked I would be more likely to eat them.
Thank you. 🙏
You're welcome! So glad it was helpful. Definitely give this method a try and see if it helps. 😀
🤤 it all looks so delicious.
Thanks Janelle! 🤗🤗🤗
That popsicle idea is brilliant, just need to find some popsicle molds!
😍😍 My two favorites: amzn.to/3JWQnik and amzn.to/3PW58Wx
So much for you stepping away from eating pasta then, as you showed us in a recent 'how not to diet' video ;-) That relapse came sooner than I had expected. Old habits die hard. 😀
Great content as always, so thanks for sharing! :happy:
Hahaha.. I was wondering if anyone would catch that! 😝😝 I actually haven't started my 21 tweaks experiment yet! 😳 I want to give it a full 30 days to test it out. 😊
This is such a good meal prep video! I like the variety. The idea of cooking some veggies before hand so you can just toss it in a pasta like that is so good!! I'm definitely going to try that. Also going to try cooking the pasta in the instant pot. The cashew cream is next on my to do list! Yum!
So glad you enjoyed!! 😃 Just as a note with the IP pasta... it can get kind of messy with the spray (and of course, be careful as the steam/spray is quite hot), but I just stopped worrying so much about the mess and let it spray a bit, and then do a clean up after. I still think even with all that it's easier than stovetop. 😆😆
Thanks so much! 😊✨ for your tips.
New subscriber! Much love from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 🙏 💛 🌟
You're welcome! And hi neighbor! I'm in Toronto too. 😁😁
@@LetsEatPlants Awesome! ☺ ✨ hello neighbor 😁 ✨ I look forward to more of your videos. Have an awesome week ahead. Namaste 🙏 💖 🌟
As always Maddie, great video. Love the batch prep.
Can the cashew cream be made with white beans instead????
Yay! So glad you enjoyed. 🤗 For this cream in particular I wouldn’t use plain white beans. I mean technically you could, but the flavor and texture wouldn’t be very good! Perhaps half white beans and half cashews if you’re trying to cut back on fats would be better. 😊😊
The pasta salad looks amazing! Do you have a link with exact measurements for the ranch? Thanks for the recipes and video, Maddie! 💕
Thank you! Oops.. Can't believe I forgot to add that one to the description box! 🙈 No link, but here's what I used for mine: 1 cup cashew cream + 1-2 TBL ACV, 1/2 tsp dill, 1/2 tsp dried parsley, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder & pinch of salt. Will update the description box as well! 🤗🤗🌱 I think Plantiful Kiki has a ranch sauce on her website that's similar, that's where I got the inspiration from. 😊
Inspiring 😊
Aww thank you!! So glad to hear it! 😊😊
I'll be doing this again Monday. I have so many leftovers this week! We have to use them up before we do anything more. But you gave me some ideas. I didn't know how to cook millet. Now I do! And pasta in the instant pot? Yes, please! I even have the same kind of pasta! Costco really does come in handy!
Wohoo! Way to go Betty! Oh yes, pasta in the IP is my new favorite, and that’s perfect that you have the same one. 😆😆 It can get a little messy when you quick release but I just let it spray a bit and clean it right after. Still worth it to me not to have to boil water and babysit the pot. 🤣🤣
@@LetsEatPlants absolutely!
Learned a lot, thanks!
Also there's so many types of millet, what are your favorites to use??
You're welcome! Hmm.. I didn't know there are so many different kinds! No idea which one I used. Whichever was on sale at the bulk store at the time. 😆😆 This one looks to be the same as what I used: amzn.to/3JPqe58
Another practical video Maddie. I would try to regrow the lettuce you won't know it works if you don't try and because it has good roots on it there's no reason you shouldn't be able to. Love 🥰 the video and love 💞 Maddie and ❤Q.
Thank you David! Such smart, practical advice, I love it. 😅😊 It’s still in water for now but I’ll transfer to soil this week!
Hello, love your energy and easy recipes. BTW, could you please let me know where you got the dish bowl you serve the millet bowl at 9:10 please. So pretty and simple. Thank you.
Aww thank you! So glad to hear that! I got these bowls at Winners (similar kind of store to TJ Maxx), the brand is Strawberry Street. I can't find the same ones on Amazon, but these are really similar! amzn.to/3PWWves
Yes it will work to regrow lettuce onions lot of things
Awesome thank you! I’ve got it in some water now still.. need to transfer it to some soil. 😁😁
❤️👀 OMG YOU are fabulous ‼️❤️ Your channel is exactly what I need right now…thanks❣️‼️❇️
Aww so glad to hear it! Welcome! 🤗🤗🌱
Hi Maddie! I tried to regrow a lettuce once or twice but it grew so slow haha but more importantly, the taste was so bitter. I have no idea why.
Thanks for your videos, they are so satisfying to watch and so useful, great suggestions always!
Oh so interesting! I’ve noticed mine grows reallllllly slowly as well, but haven’t noticed the bitter thing! Wonder if it’s the soil? 🤔🤔
And you’re very welcome! So glad they’re helpful. 😊
Do you have a link for the vanilla powder? Also, I used to use parchment for baking and now I have silicone mats for my baking trays and it's a one-time purchase vs parchment. Thanks for all your tips and recipes!
Yes! amzn.to/46iDs3Z And great tip for the silicone mats! I have them too and to totally forgot to use them on my tofu. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I’ve read they’re not good to use at high heat so I don’t roast the veggies on them, but at 350F for the tofu they work great!
You literally have the nicest smile on youtube!
Hahaha awww thank you. ☺️☺️☺️
@@LetsEatPlants love from San diego!
Maddie, what do I do when I'm always in a food rut? 🤣Oh and not sure if someone already recommended this but I have the OXO salad spinner and it's great🤗
Good question Chris! I’ve got you covered! 😆😆 ua-cam.com/video/FB1GxMrffnY/v-deo.html
And thanks for the recco on the salad spinner! Perfect timing now that it’s prime days. 😂 I’ll check Amazon for OXO. 🙌🏻🙏🏻
Whenever I buy salad with roots, I plant them if I have space. They usially grow back, especially the variety that you had
Oh yay! That's good to know. The ones I plant don't seem to thrive... but it could be the soil I was using! I'll have to get some better soil and give it a go with this lil guy. 😊 Thanks!
Yes, you can regrow the lettuce. I planted one in my garden.
Awesome! I just need to get some soil for it. Thanks!
I am enjoying this meal prep. I like that you showed the different ways to use the prep.
I made the cashew cream with half cashew and half cannellini beans but it was not creamy 😢
So glad, Terry! Oh no that’s too bad about the cashew/ bean sauce. Yea I do think it’s much better with only cashews. Can you add the sauce to a cream soup (like butternut squash soup or tomato soup) so that it doesn’t go to waste? It will be well hidden in a soup. 😊😊
@@LetsEatPlants very good idea. I definitely will try that. You are so helpful.
Keep those batch prep with meal ideas coming lol
@@terrygrenald8414 Haha no worries!! 🤗🤗 I definitely will. 😁
recipe I use for vegan ranch:
1/2 c vegan mayo
garlic powder and/or fresh minced garlic
onion powder
dry mustard
dried oregano
nutritional yeast
dried dill
dried basil
dried parsley
s & p
paprika or smoked paprika
a small cupful of apple cider vinegar
vegan milk
Sounds yummy! Thank you for sharing. 🤗🤗
We've had great sales on red peppers & I stocked up big-time. Your video inspired me to prep 4 of them by roasting as you did, they're just like the expensive ones that come jarred! I did the same to some green peppers, but the skins didn't come off as easily so I just gave up on removing. That's ok, I'm freezing them for future recipes. BTW, I also freeze diced or wedges (like for fajitas) of green & red peppers, as well as onions, raw. I figured if the frozen food section can do it, so can I! Saves a lot of time & money so the peppers don't get old I love your channel, stumbled across it few weeks back. I hear you on the I-pot, I have two of them & can't live w/o them! Before they were invented I had a stove-top pressure cooker. Hoping to catch your next meal prep course!
Hey that’s awesome!!! Must feel great to have that done! That’s too funny about the green peppers… Now I’m wondering if that’s why we don’t see roasted green peppers in the stores. 🤔😅 Excellent work on the freezer prep too. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 If you have a food processor chopping blade it can dice them up for even faster. And thank you for the kind words! I’m so glad you’re here and would absolutely love for you to join us for the next round of the course! I’m working on revamping it for the next round and can’t wait to share it once it’s ready. 🤩✨✨
If you have any peppers left you could make a nice stuffed pepper
I'd LOVE a link to that apron!
Wish I had one! 😓😓 It was a gift from a friend and no idea where she got it many years ago. The only drawback is it doesn't have any pockets! 😳😳 There are some other cute hedgehog aprons on Amazon though: amzn.to/44NsC4b
If you cut the lettuce at the base, then cut a cross in the base, you will grow four new lettuce.
Oh wow! Great tip, thank you! I never knew that.
Does black garlic have a different taste than regular, I never knew it existed before and also, ive never heard of vanilla powder before. Learnwd something new!! Thx!!
It does! It’s a lot less pungent and actually quite mild! I really love it. There are some supposed health benefits to using it as well. 🤗🤗 So glad you learned a few new things. 😃
I’ve never known anyone to peel zucchini!
Hahaha I don’t always… I know there’s a lot of nutrients in the skin, but when I don’t buy organic sometimes I’ll peel them. 🥹🥹
You make cooking seem so easy, will definetly gonna steal your batch cooking formula.
Can you tell us how many minutes you cook the pasta in the instant pot? I bought that at Costco and it definetly cooks slower on the stove compared to spaghetti type of pasta.
Yay! That’s great to hear. 🤗 I did 2 minutes high pressure for this brand, and then a quick release pretty much right when it’s done (I wait maybe 3-4 mins after you hear the “off” beeps). It can get kind of messy with a quick release so if you can do it near a vent, and then I just let it spray a bit knowing I’m going to have to clean it up after. 😂
Forgot to add… once it’s done I drain the water and do a cold rinse. That will stop the pasta from cooking further. It’s slightly al dente when it’s done, which makes it perfect for reheating because then it won’t get mushy. 🤗
@@LetsEatPlants Thank you
@@oanairani41 You’re welcome!
Ooo where do you get your mangos? I can't find good ones anywhere.
We are so lucky they are available by the case at a lot of stores near us. Last one had 18 mangoes for $12 CAD. Usually we split the case with my in-laws. 🤗🤗 I would check Asian markets if there are any near you!

This is so great, different cuisines, small list of ingredients we can reuse entire week, simple recipes. Could you please make similar one with all 3 meals for the entire week ? I have a hard time grocery shopping and planning meals without wasting both food and money. This is so very good and I am getting greedy 😂
Oh that sounds fun. 😃 I think I know what you mean… a batch prep but with 3 meals planned to come from it? For how many days? Just want to make sure I’m understanding correctly. 😅😅
@@LetsEatPlants at least 4 days please
@@LetsEatPlants like breakfast, lunch and dinners for 4 days
@@abithegreat1707 Gotcha! So a batch prep for 4 days (breakfast, lunch & dinner) with different meals on each day, is that right? 😃
We’re not vegetarian or vegan, but love the many ideas and we do eat meat free a lot. Keep up the good videos Maddie. I wondered if you use an air fryer. I’ve discovered this a great way to get tofu crispy and it doesn’t heat up the kitchen.
Aww, glad you're enjoying the vids! 😊😊 I haven't yet invested in an air fyer! I always thought they looked too small for me. 😂 But I have been interested ever since seeing ones that are multi-function toaster/ mini oven/ air fryer. Would help if I could replace one of our appliances and our toaster really isn't that great. 😋
@@LetsEatPlants I actually have an Instant Pot Duo Crisp, so it is my IP and air fryer all in one. It came with two lids, one for IP and the other is the air fryer lid. The only drawback is it’s smaller size, but I make it work for us.
@@tariambler1110 Omggg I have been dying to know how those work!! Do you love it!? Do you find it works well for crisping?
@@LetsEatPlants I bought it when I fried my old IP with overflow of hot chocolate.🥹 When I looked up a new one, the Due Crisp wasn’t much more than the regular IP, so I got it. This air fryer lid fits right on top of the instant pot. My main pot has an air fryer button that when pressed, I can adjust the temperature and time for frying. I’ve found the best results using a silicone air fryer basket sitting on top of a metal rack inside the stainless steel pot. This raises it closer to the coils. Silicone has ridges in it, so I’m having good crisping results. The silicone is 8.5 inches diameter, so that’s my surface. I do have to make things in batches, but as I said it works for us. Tonight I’m making Buffalo cauliflower that I use thick sourdough spiked with hot sauce for a batter on it. I put it in a bag, then after coating, add panko bread crumbs to make it crispy. This s also easy to make in oven. There are many recipes out there.
@@tariambler1110 Ok now I'm keen to buy a lid and see how it goes. 😆😆 And your buffalo cauliflower sounds amazing!
I love all of your ideas, but why reheat in a microwave?
Thank you! Interestingly, I didn't grow up with a microwave and have always been very anti. However I do trust Dr. Greger's scientific-based info and he has said they are perfectly safe to use. nutritionfacts.org/video/are-microwaves-safe/ You can always reheat things on the stove-top/ toaster oven if you prefer! That's how I used to do it. 😊
How long does the sliced cucumber last in the fridge? I never cut it up because I think it's going to go bad.
Great question! If it's sliced small (bite sized pieces), I noticed it's really only good for 2-3 days. These spears are good for 4-5 days, so that's why I keep them larger and cut them into salads the day I want to eat them. (Also side note, I think if you leave the skin on it lasts just a bit longer.) 😊😊
Do you cook oil and salt-free?
No, not 100%. I use salt. I have reduced my oil a lot in the last few years, but I still use it occasionally. 😊
I watch you pour oatmeal on a cookie sheet, maple syrup, I think , kind of a baked granola . I cant remember which video! Help!
Just made the granola in this video! ua-cam.com/video/qx6UPs33hK8/v-deo.html
Good
Thank you!
This was really inspiring! I make the cashew cream with the rest of the ingredients for a ranch salad dressing but from your video I learned it’s better to just make the basic cream because it’s so much more versatile! Loved the pasta sauce idea!
Yay, thank you Galya! I’m so glad to hear it. 🤗🤗 Indeed that cashew cream makes such a good base for many different recipes. Enjoy! ☺️
Yes regrow the lettuce
My husband does not like sweet potato. What can I use instead? He doesn’t like cooked pumpkin (yeah I know!)….
Oh no! 😂😂 No worries.. I would just leave it out of this prep and use another veggie for the nourish bowls. If you're talking specifically about the sweet potato dessert ideas, avocado makes a good substitute! Check out this recipe: detoxinista.com/healthy-fudgsicles-dairy-free-soy-free/ I would sub the water with soy milk (or another plant milk of your choice) for extra creaminess. 😋😋
@@LetsEatPlants thanks so much for your reply Maddie. You’re amazing! So inspiring… no I’m specifically talking about the main meals. The dinners what would you suggest instead of sweet potato For this video? or for lunches? Normal potatoes might not work?
@@astrochakrasynergysystem1480 Ahh ok, thanks for clarifying that! 😃 For the main meals, yes I would do something like potato if you want another starch, or you could just skip it completely since you have the millet as a starch. So like in the bowl example I gave for the first meal, I would just leave it out and have the lentils, millet, zucchini & prob would add broccoli there instead of the sweet potato. 😊😊😊 Potato does make a great substitute though, so if your husband likes those, I’d roast some the same way! Super easy to bake a few and eat them throughout the week. 🤗
Just curious why you peel your squash and zucchini? The colorful part is where a lot of the nutrients are. And I appreciate this video so not a criticism. Just curious.
Good question! It’s only because I don’t often buy organic squash/ zucchini, so I feel peeling it helps remove some pesticides. I don’t always peel it, there’s definitely a lot of nutrients in there! 😊😊
@@LetsEatPlants thanks. I thought that might be why...I try to at least buy the dirty dozen organic when possible, but I see your point.
@@julielauwers5630 Same! Squash aren’t on either list (dirty dozen or clean 15) so I go back and forth on them. 😆😆
beautiful
Thanks 😊😊
Brilliant. But always wash veg under running water.
Really? I’ve never heard that before! Do you know why that is?
@@LetsEatPlants Pesticides, and of course dirt.
@@rosahacketts1668 Does soaking them do the same?
8:21 that was definitely a generous amount of "cashew cream sauce"..
Why did you use such a hefty amount?
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. 😂😂 I'll assume it isn't and say.. because it's tasty? It's definitely optional since I put some soy milk in the lentils already for creaminess.
@@LetsEatPlants it must've been that good... Cuz that really was a gigantic amount ....
Anyways ... 💚🌱
@@scienceislove2014 It really wasn’t actually! Probably about a tablespoon. If it was in cashew form it would probably be 3-4 cashews, if that. 😅😅
Love your videos but do not always have the feeling you read how not to die after watching some of your videos some things like cutting up broccoli just before cooking where not recommended would love more videos on eating daily dozen love the idea
Hey there! I did read it a long time ago (How Not to Diet more recently) but tbh I clearly don’t do all of the things that Dr. Greger recommends, even just with food recommendations. Some things are simply because it’s not always practical. I try to incorporate things that I know are healthy based on his findings, but this channel is definitely not 100% Dr. Greger compliant! I’m sure I’ll be making more daily dozen videos in the future but it’s not the sole focus of this channel. Hope that makes sense!
@@LetsEatPlants thanx
