Greek Tofu Meal Prep Bowl

I came up with this Vegan Meal Prep Greek Tofu Bowl after a recent outing to the Greek Festival in town, I found myself with an urge to create Greek inspired food at home. This Greek Tofu Bowl is all the things I love about lunch: delicious, portion sized, creamy, savory, and easy to grab out of the fridge. Mediterranean cuisine is something I enjoy but sometimes forget about when it comes to home cooking.

I’ve also been playing around with meal prepping on weekends, to keep my weekdays filled with healthy food and my evenings more laid back.  Because my day job is pretty far from anywhere remotely healthy to go for lunch, meal prepping has been instrumental in helping me stay on track with, y’know, not feeding my body utter crap. It’s pretty much fast food and more fast food, and nearly all the options are meat-centric :(. The other (not better!) option is the siren song of the vending machine (hard to resist when you’re busy and hangry).

A few notes about Greek Tofu Bowl:

The Vegan Tzatziki Sauce (betcha can’t say that 3 times fast) is the highlight of this Greek Tofu Bowl. You can use fresh mint for it if you have it available. I find fresh mint really hard to find locally and I haven’t yet gotten smart enough to make it myself so I use dried mint for this recipe.

The Oil Free Tofu Nuggets used in the Greek Tofu Bowl are my new favorite way to make tofu and so after recently discovering them, I’ve been making them every chance I get. They remind me of chicken nuggets, or fish sticks. (No, really. Try dipping them in ketchup).

Anyway, this vegan meal prep makes enough for 6 servings. If you’re new to meal prepping, do yourself a solid and invest in some matching lunch size containers. I did away with all the mismatched food storage containers in my cabinet and honestly I have no regrets – having all one kind means the lid always works, and they stack nicely in the fridge, stack better in the cabinet, and generally make me feel like I have my life together. The ones I use are from Dollar Tree, and they’re the Betty Crocker brand. I like them because they’re inexpensive, they fit well in my fridge, they’re dishwasher safe, and they’re reasonably sized for most meals. You can get them at your local Dollar Tree location or you can order a metric crapton of them at once like I did from the Dollar Tree website: https://www.dollartree.com/betty-crocker-266oz-plastic-food-saver-storage-containers-2ct-packs/110223

Vegan Meal Prep – Greek Tofu Bowls

Look at that vegan meal prep goodness. Greek Tofu Bowls are a good decision.

Vegan Meal Prep – Greek Tofu Bowls Step By Step

Before you begin this recipe, remember to cook your brown rice to save time. (I have a Zojurishi rice cooker and I love it. Perfect rice every time, and so easy to clean. )

Step 1

First, prepare 1 recipe Oil Free Crispy Tofu Nuggets.

Step 2

While the oil free crispy tofu nuggets are baking, prepare 1 recipe Vegan Tzatziki Sauce.

Step 3

Chop your tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber.

Step 4

Arrange 6 lunch size food storage containers on the counter.

Step 5

Add .5 cup of cooked short grain brown rice to each container.

Step 6

After you’ve divied up the rice, divide the chopped cherry tomatoes, the red onion, and the cucumber evenly between the containers.

Step 7

When the tofu nuggets are done, remove them and let them cool for a few minutes on the counter, then evenly distribute them between the containers as well.

Step 8

Finally, spoon the tzatziki sauce over the rice, avoiding getting it on the tofu nuggets or the veggies. (This is to prevent them getting soggy when stored in the fridge – you’ll mix them up just before you’re ready to eat.)

There you have it! Really healthy meal, oil free, and already portion-sized for your convenience! (Garlic Hussy loves her some grab-n-go goodness). If you make this recipe, be sure to let me know in the comments what you think of it! It’s gotten the thumbs up in this household!
