Avocado toast, but make it ✨extra✨! 🥑✨ This beauty is layered with creamy smashed avocado, teeny tomatoes, a squeeze of lemon juice, a sprinkle of chili flakes, and crispy mushrooms for that perfect crunch.
💡 Veginner tip: To keep your avo toast from browning, mash your avocado with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. It adds brightness and keeps it fresh!

✨Meal prepping isn’t about being perfect, it’s about setting yourself up for success!✨
Veginners, if you’ve ever opened the fridge hungry and thought, “Ugh, there’s nothing to eat,” meal prepping is your new best friend. It saves time, money, and decision fatigue. Plus, it helps you actually eat all those gorgeous veggies you bought.
Here are my 3 favorite veginner-friendly hacks to make it feel easy:
🥦 Pick 2 proteins for the week (think marinated tofu or a batch of lentils).
🌾 Cook one grain in bulk (quinoa, brown rice, or couscous).
🌈 Chop a rainbow of veggies ahead of time so meals come together in minutes.
Mix and match these building blocks and suddenly you’ve got endless bowls, wraps, and stir-fries ready to go. Future-you will thank present-you, big time!
👉 Want more easy, veginner-friendly recipe ideas to meal prep with? Head over to my blog for lots of simple, yummy, plant-based inspo! 💚xo Cheryl
