Before I started sharing meal prep recipes with the whole internet, I meal prepped only a few recipes in rotation. Those recipes were super simple yet so yum! These Easy Peanut Tofu Meal Prep Bowls were one of those recipes.
I have been craving them lately and realized they are a fantastic easy meal prep recipe that deserves its own recipe post.
May I add that they are nutritionally well-balanced, in true VMPS fashion?
How To Make Easy Peanut Tofu Meal Prep Bowls In 3 Simple Steps
Step 1: Bake tofu and broccoli.
Step 2: Make rice! If you are a cheater in the kitchen like me, use your pressure cooker or instant pot.
Step 3: Make a peanut sauce. Smother the tofu with it as soon as it comes out of the oven and assemble your bowls.
All I can add is a plea to please make these bowls! They will change your meal prep journey for the better. If you have been reluctant to get started, making these once will convince you to keep going. And if you are a pro meal prepper already, this will be an easy recipe to add to your rotation.
What Are The Best Containers For Meals That Need To Be Reheated?
Glass Containers
For meals that need to be reheated, like these Easy Peanut Tofu Bowls, I swear by the LOCK & LOCK Purely Better Glass Food Storage Container with Lid. This borosilicate glass container is both microwave and oven-safe, as well as dishwasher and freezer-friendly. It doesn’t stain and has a luxurious feel to it, making it very enjoyable to eat from. It is so versatile that you can bake your meal, freeze your meal and eat your meal, all from the same bowl!
