How to vegan meal prep. Tips for this vegan nachos meal prep

• Use a food processor for your veggies! In my video you can seed I have shredded the following veggies using the blade tool on my food processor:
  • Red, green, and yellow capsicum
  • Purple cabbage
  • Tomato

Why do I do this? Not only is quicker for you, but the food processor is able to cut the veggies and condense them. This means that its easy for you to eat a larger quantity of veggies in your meal. And the more plants the better!

• Season the beans with ground cumin and little bit of salt. Don't skip this step. Its simple and packs a serious flavour boost to this dish
• Boil the pumpkin until its very soft. The mushier the pumpkin, the easier it is to blend
• Use purple cabbage instead of shredded lettuce. Lettuce will wilt in the oven and needs to be added as a fresh ingredient, adding an extra step to process (which we don't want!)
• Sprinkle fresh coriander on top right before serving, another amazing flavour boosting (if you are team coriander)
