Here's a full day of minimal prep recipes for lazy days
Kristina Todini, RDN
June 20, 2024
We all have those days when we just don’t want to spend much time cooking. Even if you love cooking and experimenting with new recipes and flavors, there are days when the last thing you want to do is set foot in the kitchen.
When those days hit, sometimes I get takeout. But most times I go for my tried-and-true lazy day meals that have low (or even no) prep.

DID YOU KNOW? 🧐
On average, a household’s usual meal preparer saves about 30 minutes of meal preparation time a day by purchasing prepared fast food, which is the equivalent of 7.7 days not spent in meal preparation. However, this time savings does not include any travel time to purchase fast food. And time is not the only factor to consider as the cost and the nutritional value of meals prepared at home versus outsourced meals prepared by grocery store deli departments or away-from-home eating places are other considerations, along with the satisfaction that some individuals derive from either food preparation or eating out.

Summer is the annual permission slip to be lazy. To do nothing and have it count for something. To lie in the grass and count the stars. To sit on a branch and study the clouds.
FINALLY MASTER MEAL PLANNING
It took me YEARS to figure out the secret to transitioning to a plant-based diet: meal planning! Yes, planning your meals is key to eating more plants and I’m sharing everything I’ve learned in my 5+ years of plant-based living in Plant Powered Kitchen School. For less than a fancy coffee shop coffee each month, you get my complete plant-based meal planning system, weekly meal plans, and a community of plant eaters who are also cooking up plants each and every day. Come join us!
