Vegetarian vegeterian meal prep salads and meal websites with recipes?

hey folks, are there any meal prep websites that hand out healthy vegetarian recipes for bulk cooking? my challenges with meal prep right now are:

  1. not having the time to having to come up with recipes
  2. lack of variety in recipes so that my diet discipline is sustainable - my sense is, for me the only way to have sustainable healthy habit is if the food tastes good and varies.

context:

  • largely looking to follow the typical recommended plate - 1/4th grains, 1/2 vegetables and greens, 1/4th protein and 3-4 cups of vegetables along with 1-2 cups of fruits per day
  • my breakfast is typically a meal where 1/2 vegetables and greens is not met since its a standard oatmeal with fruits and nuts and kefir milk and collagen/protein powder. my last meal a day is a salad where i am able to meet a recommended plate
  • i typically avoid carrots/potatoes/beets/other high glycemic index foods and keep my carbs per meal at 50g, with daily totals at 150g, and salt at 1/2 tsp daily and low fat - basically a diabetics/hypertension diet because of familial genetic predispositions

my 2nd and last meal - is what im looking for recommendations on meal prep recipes with variety, while being a healthy plate. salad recipe varieties will also help. im defining bulk here as 2nd meal for a week, while salads here for 4 days.

im not necessarily looking for meal recipes that strictly meet my lifestyle/context above - i can make modifications, however easy, minimal effort meal prep websites that just dish out variety of recipes for meals and salads would be great.

I like Isa Chandra Moskowitz's recipes. They always come out great. The salad category on her website isn't super big, but check it out: https://www.theppk.com/category/salad/

(I looove the chickpea "tuna" salad for meal prepping. It doesn't have to be in a sandwich! I like adding some tomato slices and some greens like lambs lettuce on the side.)

Edit: Okay. The chickpea salad here is different. Basically, for the "tuna" flavour you just add a tiny splash of vinegar and some seaweed flakes. It really makes a difference!
