5 Easy Vegan Pantry Staple Meals | GF Recipes just using ingredients from your pantry!

FREE Vegan Pantry Staple Guide: https://thebananadiaries.com/subscribe/ 5 More Vegan Pantry Meal Ideas: https://thebananadiaries.com/10-simpl... With many of us now turning to good ol' pantry staples, I decided let's walk through a few very easy, very simple vegan and gluten free pantry staple meals! These five meals are incredibly delicious while relying mainly on ingredients you'll only find in a pantry. Now, you can doctor these up a bit with fresh or frozen foods, as I mention in the video, but they're just as delicious and nutritious as their pantry base. A few key ingredients I'd like to highlight from the guide is always having dried beans on hand (they're cheaper, fresher, and taste better), don't be afraid to use dried fruit, such as prunes, as they're packed with nutrients, and always have a multitude of dried herbs and spices ready to go! I hope you love these meals! For the full recipes, some are on the blog (linked below) and some are just exclusive to this video, so they're all written down below :) Enjoy!
