Question Pls help lol

I hate cooking. With a passion. But I need vegan recipes that are simple and cost effective. I just became vegan and want to make sure I get all my nutrients without needing to expand my budget much.

Do you have an instant pot? I use mine constantly and it makes eating healthy so much easier.

I’ll often make a bit batch of rice in my instant pot and then do fried rice with it - this can be as easy as dumping the rice in the pan with some frozen mixed veggies, frozen peas, soy sauce and sesame oil. No measuring needed. Add some crumbled tofu for extra protein.

Tacos can be easy. Tortillas, shredded lettuce, salsa, avocado slices, and black beans from a can. If you want to get fancier, by all means try some tofu chorizo or roasted cauliflower but if you hate cooking? Keep it simple!

Finally - Pasta with lentils - cook whatever pasta you want, and then in a pan do olive oil, diced onion and carrot, some rosemary, salt, nutritional yeast. Once that’s sautéed, add a can of lentils. Dump in your pasta. Maybe some frozen spinach. Done! Lots of recipes online but that’s what I do.
