I loveeee the idea of slow cookers and meal prep, but without the right mix of recipes to choose from, I get bored of bland dinners fast and end up giving up altogether.

This collection includes everything from cozy soups and hearty casseroles to flavorful tacos, so there’s plenty of variety to keep things interesting. Each recipe has the perfect balance of bold flavor, diverse ingredients, and easy slow-cooker prep making it truly a set it and forget it kind of meal.
Even better, these recipes are perfect for batch cooking. Make a few at once, freeze them, and enjoy stress-free, plant-based meals all week long.

Best Healthy Vegan Crockpot Recipes
Crock pot veggie and bean chili
You can’t have a list of crockpot meals without having a chili recipe! I love chili because it is easily customizable, whether you want a ton of variety or even just want to keep it basic.
To keep things super simple don’t be afraid to rely on canned corn, tomatoes, and beans.
Fresh produce is always great, but sometimes when meal prepping it makes things a million times easier to pop open some cans, dump them in your crockpot, and let it whip up a yummy hearty meal!
If you want to stretch your chili a bit more, serve it with rice, sweet/white potatoes, cornbread, or tortilla chips. Chili is the ultimate slow cooker recipe and freezes perfectly!

Slow cooker pumpkin, chickpea & lentil curry
If you’re looking for a slow cooker recipe that has extra protein, this one will be perfect for you! It has both lentils and chickpeas that will keep you full but not give you that weighed down feeling.
Normally, when I make a similar curry recipe I just stick to garbanzo beans, but I love that this recipe has pumpkin in it to make it even more hearty!
With just a few seasonings and some coconut milk, this recipe has a unique flavor to mix things up if prepping veggie soups gets too redundant!
Sometimes I skip the garnishings because I want the most basic recipe possible, but not with this one! The cilantro and lime are a must to perfectly round out this dish!

Slow cooker black beans and rice
You can truly never go wrong with rice and beans. It’s a filling, comforting dish that can easily be spruced up with a few seasonings and salsa for a bit of nutrient variety as well!
I like to eat rice and beans as is, but the nice thing about prepping this recipe is that you can include taco shells, tortillas, or lettuce wraps if you really don’t love having the same exact meal day after day.
Even small switches like how you present a dish can help to make meal prep less boring!

Slow cooker jackfruit tacos
Have you tried jackfruit yet?! I have been blown away by how much the texture mimics pulled pork.
I love that this recipe is a break from classic crockpot soups and stews, but is still able to be made in a slow cooker for convenience. These jackfruit tacos are the perfect swap to classic black beans or tofu tacos which is how many vegan style tacos are made!
If you get bored of tacos, you can easily stretch this recipe to work as a topping to a nourish bowl or even add the “meat” filling to your favorite vegan sandwich.

Vegan crockpot lasagna
This vegan slow cooker truly surprised me because I had NO idea you could make a lasagna in a slow cooker until finding this!
No need to heat up your whole kitchen by making a lasagna in the oven when you can simply whip it up in a convenient slow cooker!
Just layer up your ingredients, whether you choose to keep it just veggies or add in some vegan meats for extra flavor, it’s easy to prepare and will genuinely be a meal prep dinner you look forward to coming back to!

Slow cooker butternut squash
Most of the meals on this list are pretty filling, but sometimes, a light meal prep lunch is needed so I wanted to include this butternut squash soup as well.
If you do end up wanting to make it a bit more filling, you can always puree some garbanzo or white beans that blend perfectly into this soup!
Either way, this soup with a fresh slice of sourdough bread is the perfect comforting pair for a flavourful yet nourishing dinner that’s waiting for you in the fridge!

Best crockpots for vegan crockpot recipes
A fancy crockpot is 100% not a necessity to make the recipes on this list!
I tend to just use a pot on my stove, but if you need your stove top free for cooking other things, these are my top recommendations of durable slow cookers that hopefully will last you for years!
Best glass meal prep containers for crockpot meals
The best food storage containers are the ones you already own!
But if you are in need of some new ones, these are my top recommendations. I prefer to use glass, and having a tight seal is a must for food safety and freshness!
If you don’t feel like upgrading your current food storage, you can always repurpose glass jars (like from salsa, peanut butter etc.) to put your meal prep in as well!
