How to make your Mediterranean Meal Prep

First start by making the tofu. To make the marinade add all the ingredients into a Tupperware and shake to combine then add in your cubed and pressed tofu and shake again. Let the tofu marinate for at least 10 minutes then pan fry until crispy.

Next make the couscous by pouring it into a bowl with boiling water and salt and cover with a lid. Let the couscous sit for 5-10 minutes then fluff it with a fork and let it cool. Chop up your veggies and add them to the cooled couscous. Mix to combine.

Next make the vegan tzatziki. Add all of the ingredients except for the cucumber into a blender and blend until completely smooth. Then shred up the cucumber and mix it in with a spoon.

Assemble your meal prep containers. With the couscous mixture, seared tofu and tzatziki. Add in some shredded lettuce as well but make sure to keep it away from the tzatziki so it doesn’t wilt the lettuce.

Some tips from Steph

Use whole wheat couscous. This is an easy way to sneak in some extra fiber and nutrients and it tastes the exact same!

Make it soy free! You can make this recipe soy free by swapping the marinated tofu with chickpeas, another bean or legume, or with a high protein pasta! You can make the tzatziki with hemp seeds and cashews instead of silken tofu.

Make it gluten free! You can make this recipe gluten free by subbing the couscous for quinoa!

Storing your Mediterranean lunch meal prep. You can store your meal prep in the fridge for 5 days! It tastes just as good on the 5th day! Just be sure to store the lettuce on the opposite side of the tzatziki so it doesn’t wilt.
