If you asked me what I eat when I’m just being regular me in my regular life, like, not trying to make anything impressive for a blog or a brand partner or a cool Instagram picture, I would say PEANUT TOFU BOWLS.

This has been my real-life meal prep lifesaver over the last few months.

And it is complex in salty-sweet flavor and sticky-crunchy texture, and loaded with nutritious good stuff, but also quite simple.

How to make Spicy Peanut Tofu Bowls

Step 1: Make a sheet pan of tofu (don’t wanna bake? other methods here).

Step 2: Make a sheet pan of veggies.

Step 3: Whip up a peanut sauce. If you love yourself, make a double batch so you can freeze some for later.

Step 4: Make rice. Assemble. And serve. Or pack away for lunches!

use chicken instead? yes.
try mushrooms or green beans or carrots instead? yes.
use cauliflower rice or quinoa? yes.
use almond butter instead of peanut butter? yes.
use a different sauce altogether, like any one of these 16 sauces that make everything better? yes.

Really, this is a recipe, but this is also a lifestyle. And I say that with only 5% facetiousness.

This a weekly meal prep lifestyle that is keeping me eating well-balanced lunches on the reg during the happy-busy days of November and December. Do you feel me or do you feel me.
