Jumping into a gluten-free, vegan diet can be super exciting, and we're here to make it even better with our amazing, drool-worthy recipes, essential tools, and simple ingredients! With these, you'll be all set for a fantastic week of gluten-free vegan meal planning.

To kick off your keto meal prep journey, it's important to have the right tools and must-have plant-based ingredients on hand. Here are some of our top recommendations to get you started:

  • Containers & Tools: The right meal prep containers make meal prep a breeze, so consider investing in mason jars and other airtight containers. A sturdy baking sheet is a must-have for any gluten-free, pastry-loving kitchen, while a slow cooker is an excellent investment for those looking to streamline their meal prep for the week ahead.
  • Grains & Flours: Whole grain staples like quinoa, brown rice, and jasmine rice can add heartiness to your meals. If you have a sweet tooth, consider investing in chickpea flour, rice flour, or almond flour for fun with gluten-free, plant-based baking. Most grocery stores will also have gluten-free bread options if you're craving toast or bagels!
  • Fresh vegetables and fruits: Make sure to stock up on fresh leafy greens, non-starchy vegetables, and sweet fruits. Some of our all-time favorites include kale, bell peppers, strawberries, blueberries, broccoli, and cauliflower.
  • Healthy fats: Healthy fats are the name of the game when it comes to keeping yourself full on a gluten-free, plant-based diet! Make sure to grab some wholesome staples like avocado, olive oil, peanut butter, almond butter, nuts, and seeds.
  • Dairy: Look for plant-based alternatives like almond milk or coconut milk to add that creamy touch to your meals, drinks, and breakfast.
  • High-quality plant-based protein: Stock up on beans and legumes like edamame, lentils, and beans. If you’re craving meaty texture, consider plant-based alternative brands like Beyond Meat. 
  • Sauces: Consider investing in umami, flavorful sauces like soy sauce, hot sauce, etc. For a touch of sweetness, coconut aminos, and maple syrup are both vegan and gluten-free, delicious options!

By investing in the right meal prep containers, kitchen gadgets, and gluten-free vegan ingredients, you'll save time and money while being set up for a successful week of meal prep.
