The Weekly Digest - MEAL PREP
November: Meal Prep Edition
Welcome to another week of NoMeatDisco goodness!
A few weeks back, I ran a poll on my Instagram, asking what series you’d most like to see in the future. One of the top contenders was Pickles & Ferments, which I’m already working on. But the most requested series by far was Meal Prep. So, for all you amazing subscribers, I have a little secret to share: a full Meal Prep series is coming your way in February next year!
I know, February feels like it’s ages away, and you might be thinking, “How am I supposed to wait that long?” Don’t worry—I gotchu! Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing meal prep ideas you can start using now. As we get closer to the holiday season, it’s easy to let healthy eating slide amidst the whirlwind of work, social gatherings, and festivities. That’s where these easy, nourishing recipes come in. I’ll be here to help you stay on track and feel good while still enjoying the festive season.
Whether you’re trying to eat well through the holidays or just want some quick, healthy options to keep life balanced, these series of recipes will help you save time in the kitchen throughout the weeks!
Hungarian Mushroom Soup
⏱️ 25 minutes | 🍽️ Serves 2
This Hungarian Mushroom Soup was one of my biggest hits last year when I ran the Slurp My Soup series. It’s super delicious and so easy to make! You can freeze containers of it and just cook up some fresh mushrooms when serving, or take it in a flask to work and reheat in the microwave.
Gochujang Rigatoni with Mushroom Tofu
⏱️ 35 minutes | 🍽️ Serves 3
Oh mate, this recipe is an absolute banger! It only takes 35 minutes to make, and imagine having a whole week of spicy pasta ready to go. Pack it in a container for work and reheat there, or warm it up when you get home. It’s loaded with layers of flavor that will make your work-buds jealous when you bring it in!
Korean Tofu Meal Prep
⏱️ 45 minutes | 🍽️ Serves 2
Another classic from the archives! This one is protein-packed and great for gut health. The kimchi brings so much flavor and probiotics, while the crispy tofu adds texture and protein. Paired with a zesty, flavorful rice, this is the recipe your future self will thank you for!
Teriyaki Tofu Meal Prep
⏱️ 45 minutes | 🍽️ Serves 3
I dug this one out of the archives—a classic NoMeatDisco meal prep! I remember I was deep into training for the London Marathon when I made this, and it was a lifesaver. After a long run, it was such a relief to know I could just reach into the fridge and have this ready to go when I didn’t have the energy to cook.
I hope these recipes help you save time in your busy schedule! A great way to meal prep is to set aside some time on Sunday before the week begins—you’ll definitely thank yourself later.
