20 Vegan Freezer Meal Prep Recipes
We’ve definitely returned to the hustle and bustle of autumn! This time of year always seems to get so busy and it feels like a sprint towards the holidays. I find it SO helpful to prepare as many meals as possible in advance to make sure I always have a well-balanced and delicious meal ready to go on those days when I just don’t have an hour to spend in the kitchen.
Having freezer meals prepared gives me such a sense of accomplishment! Know what I mean? Not only does meal prepping save a LOT of time during busy seasons, but it also saves me money because I’m way less likely to order takeout if I already have meals in the freezer.
To help you build up your collection of freezeable meal prep recipes, I’ve rounded up 20 of my favorite vegan meal prep ideas that hold up well in the freezer! From casseroles to soups to stuffed peppers, these vegan recipes will please your entire family, can be safely stored for weeks and taste delicious even when reheated.
Without further ado, let’s dive into my top 20 freezer friendly meal prep recipes!
Vegan Casserole Recipes
Most vegan casserole recipes are great for freezer friendly meal prep because they’re so straightforward to make. All your ingredients get layered into one baking dish, and it can just be assembled and stashed in the freezer. Typically when I plan to make any sort of casserole for meal prep, I will bake it 75% of the way through, then when I’m ready to eat it, I’ll pull it out of the freezer and reheat it in the oven and allow it to finish baking. Here are a few of my favorite vegan casseroles to make for meal prep!
1. Vegan Enchilada Casserole
2. Cheesy Chickpea Broccoli Rice Casserole
3. Teriyaki Tofu Tempeh Casserole by The Simple Veganista
4. Butternut Squash and Brown Rice Casserole by From My Bowl
Vegan Soups and Stews
What’s more comforting than knowing you have a delicious batch of chili stashed in the freezer on a snowy night? Most soups and stews freeze well, but these are some of my favorites for meal prep because they come together easily and are perfect for making a double batch. When you go to freeze your soup, I recommend separating the batch out into containers with 1-2 servings each. That way you don’t have to thaw out the entire soup if you just need to eat once.

Freezer Friendly Burritos and Sandwiches
Sure it’s easy to grab a box of frozen burritos or burgers from the store, but it’s so much cheaper to make your own! Carve out some time on the weekend to make a big batch of veggie burgers or burritos, wrap them up in foil, and stash them in your freezer for quick and easy meals to keep on hand when you’re in a pinch!

You can even portion them out into smaller servings before popping the finished product in the freezer so that you can just pull out what you need.
