For imperfect cooks and relaxed foodies

Ask any person who has to cook daily and you’ll hear long grueling expressions.

It doesn’t matter how much time we WANT to give to cooking. The point is we simply CAN’T use much elbow grease for our everyday meal preparation.

Besides, things have dramatically changed in our world. Long gone are the days when we can easily access fresh wholesome healthy travel food on vacation. Global health crises on supply chains have created many barriers yet opened some doors too. Flash-frozen fruits and vegetables, and frozen ready meals are that one door. This innovation helps us readily obtain all the vitamins, proteins, and other nutrients we need. Above all, they are time-saving, filling, satisfying, and potentially nutritious to boot. Thus, fast food saves lives!

My opinion on frozen healthy travel food

I would recommend frozen vegetarian meals to people who are self-aware of their salt intake. Let’s be real. Every fast food/ frozen meal is filled with salt or some type of high corn syrup sugar. After weaning myself from meat and fish, I didn’t trust most vegan, vegetarian, or plant-based frozen foods.

It was after 3 years of living the plant-based lifestyle before I began purchasing gluten-free frozen plant-based meals. It is safe to say they are nutritious and taste good, hence this recommendation. But at that time, I didn’t trust any of them. Do take my opinion with a grain of salt.

I now see frozen plant-based foods as a necessity. I do not believe most women like to cook 7 days a week from scratch, myself included. Knowing that certain handpicked, scrutinized plant-based frozen foods would be nourishing helps me rest easy. The ones I suggest through these photos were selected based on sizable protein and carbohydrate content.

With frozen healthy travel food, you have to amp it up to get extra nutrients. For example, the rice and seitan sticks (image above). The frozen seitan-soy sticks didn’t come with the frozen rice, I bought them individually to make a satisfying nutritious meal. Also, in the frozen pear no meat pasta (image above), I added real butter to add more healthy fat.

I am a proponent of eating healthy fat and good carbs. If a frozen meal has high salt content or more corn syrup, I would add things like spinach, kale, or some type of vegetable to balance it out.

Flexibility is important in any food lifestyle

Food is my medicine, not a religion, therefore, I will not hardline anything. Not eating meat nor fish, or eggs is challenging enough already. Frozen vegetarian meals are tempting and nutrient-dense thus making them almost impossible for us to pass up. Taste, flavors, variety, affordability, nutrients, and ease of preparation. They offer just about everything.

Plus, they can be stored longer than fresh foods; yes I know there are tons of preservatives which is why you don’t want to eat only store-bought frozen meals 24-7-365. That doesn’t mean you overstock your freezer. For real, the cooking struggle is real nowadays so stay tuned for beginner-friendly plant-based recipes.

Don’t let your plant-based or vegetarian diet rule out selective convenience. Curious to hear from you. What is your recommendation for a delectable yet affordable frozen food option? What other no meat pasta meals do you suggest?
