Freeze and reheat. just heat up a meal in the microwave if you don't have time to cook. Frozen vegetables can sometimes be cheaper than fresh - for example frozen peppers, broccoli or spinach - and taste just as good. They also keep for longer, meaning you don't end up throwing any away.

Which Vegan Foods are best for bulking?
- Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, cashews and pine nuts are all high in protein. ...
- Tofu, tempeh and seitan: Tofu can be added to just about anything and is an excellent source of protein - as well as seitan (wheat protein) and tempeh (fermented soy beans).
