If your pantry is fully stocked with plant-based ingredients, it will become easier to stick with a plant-based diet. It also makes it more likely you’ll cook rather than order takeout or go to a restaurant. A plant-based diet pantry should include organic whole grains (brown rice, amaranth, quinoa, etc.) and organic legumes (beans and lentils). Nuts and seeds should be stocked as well, including nut butters. Organic flours, spices, dried fruit, oils and liquids (plant-based-milk, apple cider vinegar, etc.) are also important to have on hand. You can buy many of these items in bulk and store them in your own bags or containers. Organize them in a first in, first out basis, so older ingredients are used first. Good pantry recipes include 5-Minute Smoky Black Bean Dip and Chili Mac ‘n Cheese.
Key Takeaways:
- A plant based pantry will allow you to create plant based recipes with much more ease and efficiency.
- Some foods you should put in your pantry are brown rice, buckwheat, quinoa, and oats.
- Some nuts that you should keep in your pantry include almonds, walnuts, cashews and chia seeds.
“Organize your ingredients in a first in, first out manner so that the older ingredients get used first to avoid food waste, which is good for the planet and your pocketbook.”
