How (un)healthy are (vegan) ready meals?

Chopping vegetables, juggling spices and swinging the pan is fun!
But honestly, who always has the time and motivation to conjure up an elaborate menu?
Sometimes life just calls for a quick grab into the freezer or ready meals in the kitchen cupboard.
We often have to struggle with a guilty conscience afterwards. But does it have to be that way?

Before we get lost in the depths of guilt, it should be said: Not all ready meals are equally (un)healthy.
It is also not possible to make a general claim that vegan ready meals perform better across the board compared to their animal counterparts.

“Vegan” or “plant-based” primarily means that food has no animal origin. Unfortunately, unhealthy fats, sugar or excessive calories do not disappear into thin air just because a food is plant-based.

However, it has been proven that a plant-based diet can have positive effects on health - if you approach it correctly.
As with any diet, this means: the more colorful, the better! So the more variety you put on your plate, the better you will cover your nutrient and vitamin needs. You shouldn't skimp on vegetables, fruit, nuts and legumes .
But here too you can give in to your cravings. Listen to your body. If he cries out for a hearty (veggie) burger, he'll have a hearty burger. 😋

The good news: You can reduce the convenience food evil! Without waiver. 😍

For pizza lovers who focus on a healthy diet, pizza dough from the refrigerated shelf is ideal. Without artificial additives and versatile, this variant allows you to prepare an individual, low-fat and delicious pizza - with toppings according to your taste. And it’s fun to make your own receipts too!

In general, it's worth taking a look at the list of ingredients.
While many ready-made sauces contain preservatives and flavor enhancers, there are also some that do without them. If you then combine these with whole-wheat pasta, you can create a non-unhealthy and quick pasta meal in no time.
