Budget-Friendly Vegan Meal Prep Ideas – Under $10 Per Day

Derek Simnett, a holistic nutritionist and fitness-focused creator, shares budget-friendly vegan meal prep ideas in a recent video on his YouTube channel, Simnett Nutrition. The meal prep is designed to cost under $10 per day and includes five days’ worth of meals that total around 2,400 calories and over 100 grams of protein per day. Simnett shops at Walmart to keep costs low and uses a mix of canned ingredients, bulk items, and fresh produce to balance convenience and nutrition.

Each recipe is high in protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates and aims to provide affordable, nutritious, and easy-to-execute meals. From a tofu chickpea frittata for breakfast to lentil and tomato pasta for lunch to black beans, rice, and broccoli with pad Thai sauce for dinner, the meal prep showcases how budget-friendly vegan meals can be delicious, satisfying, and healthy. Simnett also provides snack ideas, storage suggestions, and tips on freezing meals to keep them fresh throughout the week.
