Explore CuisineSavvy recipes and articles tagged Mealprep.
This collection brings together CuisineSavvy recipes explicitly tagged Mealprep. It is a focused way to explore the catalogue without scrolling through every plant-based recipe on the site. Tags describe the recipe as published; they are not inferred from a title or from a search phrase. That makes the recipes here a more dependable match for the topic, while still leaving room for different cuisines, courses, cooking methods and levels of complexity.
Use the filter below to narrow these mealprep recipes by an ingredient, dish or cooking style, then sort the complete set by newest, oldest or HealthScore. Each recipe links to its full ingredients, method, declared allergens and nutrition panel, so you can compare the details that matter to you rather than relying on a label alone. Nutrition needs vary from person to person; where a category relates to a medical condition or prescribed diet, use the recipe data as a starting point and follow advice from your qualified healthcare professional.
A deeply savoury Italian soup built on golden soffritto, sweet peeled tomatoes and tender chickpeas, finished with a glug of grassy extra-virgin olive oil — hearty enough for a midweek supper yet quietly elegant. Partially blending half the chickpeas gives the broth a silky, voluptuous body without a drop of cream. Serve it over fluffy pilau rice on a cool evening for a bowlful that genuinely satisfies.

Nutty, earthy and satisfyingly chewy, wild rice is one of the most characterful grains you can bring to the table — its long, dark grains split open as they cook to reveal a pale, fluffy interior. It makes a stunning base for roasted vegetables, mushrooms or a simple herb dressing, and it keeps beautifully in the fridge for easy weekday meals.

A quietly extraordinary broth — amber-clear, deeply savoury and faintly of the sea — that transforms any dish it touches. Built from nothing but dried kombu and shiitake mushrooms, it delivers the kind of clean, lingering umami that makes ramen, noodle soups and simmered vegetables taste truly considered. Make a batch, freeze it in portions, and you will always have something remarkable to hand.

Golden, savoury bites packed with smoky roasted red pepper and tender kale, these muffin-tin cups have a satisfyingly eggy flavour from kala namak and a richness from nutritional yeast. They come out of the tin beautifully set — crisp at the edges, custardy within — and are equally at home on a brunch table or tucked into a lunchbox. A fresh green smoothie alongside makes them a brilliant start to the day.

A vibrant, wholly plant-based take on Costa Rica's beloved national breakfast dish. Smoky black beans and nutty brown rice are sautéed together with yellow onion, red pepper, cumin and garlic, then piled into a bowl with wilted kale, creamy diced avocado and a bright squeeze of fresh lime. Hearty, colourful and naturally high in plant protein, this bowl brings the flavours of a Tico morning straight to your table — no eggs, no dairy, no compromise.

Golden on the outside and tender within, this chickpea-flour tortilla española is packed with silky potatoes, umami-rich mushrooms, and sweet red pepper — every wedge holds its shape beautifully on the plate. The batter delivers a rounded, savoury depth that makes it genuinely satisfying, and it's light enough to be a virtue of a lunch. Serve warm or at room temperature alongside a crisp green salad and a glass of chilled Albariño.

A vibrant, tangy jar of classic Mexican pickled vegetables, featuring tender carrot slices, crisp cauliflower florets, and fiery jalapeños bathed in a lightly spiced apple cider vinegar brine. This wholly plant-based escabeche is wonderfully versatile — serve it alongside tacos, rice dishes, or grilled corn, or simply enjoy it straight from the jar as a punchy, low-sodium condiment. The brine is naturally acidic and beautifully aromatic, with whole garlic cloves, bay leaves, and black peppercorns lending depth without a single drop of anything animal-derived.

A golden, bubbling bake with a sauce the colour of autumn — creamy, smoky and faintly sweet from butternut squash, with a deep savoury edge from nutritional yeast and miso that does everything sharp cheddar used to. Curly kale runs through every forkful, making this a proper meal rather than a side. Serve it straight from the dish at a weekend table, with a cold lager or a glass of dry cider alongside.

A hearty, one-pot vegan chilli that swaps every animal product for bold plant-based flavours. Chipotle in adobo and smoked paprika deliver a deep, smoky warmth, while cubed sweet potatoes finish in the oven so their edges caramelise beautifully. A squeeze of fresh lime juice added off the heat keeps every bowl bright and vibrant. Ready in under an hour and naturally gluten-free.
