Many of us are limiting our trips to the grocery store, and relying much more on cupboard staples, frozen foods, and foods that can last longer in the fridge. Here are breakfast, lunch, and dinner meal ideas, plus some sweet treat ideas too! They’re all vegan, gluten-free, and use ingredients that are fairly easy to find and can be stocked up on to last in your kitchen.
The full recipes for each meal idea is linked (unless the meal is so self-explanatory that no recipe is necessary). Staple ingredients are listed under each meal, to give you an idea of how simple they are!
You can freeze fruit to make it last longer. I routinely freeze bananas, peeled and cut into pieces; grapes; and berries. But the vast majority of fruits can be frozen!

I have become obsessed with making big batches of these super easy vegan nuggets. They use simple ingredients and turn out delicious every time. Paired with salad and sweet potato wedges, they make a fantastic easy lunch. I adapted the recipe from an ASDA newsletter to make it gluten-free and even simpler to throw together.
Ingredients:
A tin of chickpeas
100g peas
~4 stalks of green onions
100g vegbred breadcrumbs (I just crumble it up by hand)
1 tbsp tahini
1 tsp cumin
A dash of almond mylk.
Method:
Pre-heat oven to 175C/350F
Add all of the ingredients in the food processor and blitz until incorporated, but still chunky
Form the mixture into little patties
Bake for 30mins until they start to brown on the top (flipping over for the last 10mins)
*These vegan nuggets are perfect for meal-prepping for super quick and easy future lunches too. For more easy lunch options, check out my Vegan Lunch Staple Meals!

Vanessa and Louise-Claire started The Vegan Larder two years ago with the desire to make veganism and plant-based cooking easy and exciting! They have a number of vegan subscription and gift boxes which they pack full of fun products that always contain more value than the subscription price. They also publish new seasonal recipeson their website’s blog every week, showing customers how to use the products in their boxes.

The Vegan Larder’s boxes are all vegan, palm-oil free, and come from small independent and ethical suppliers, making every box exciting to open and discover what goodies are inside. I also love how the packaging they use is 100% recyclable and compostable (even down to the tape!).
Boxes are sent out by the third week of the month and charged on the 16th of the month. Their Subscription and Gift Box options include:
A one-off Deluxe Vegan Larder Gift Box, with the option to make it gluten-free.
The Vegan Larder will even try to send the gift box to arrive by a particular date, if requested, and they can make up a surprise box of goodies for the recipient as well!
