Master Vegan Meal Planning: Your Ultimate Guide

Meal planning is the key to successful, stress-free vegan eating. With a little preparation, you can enjoy delicious plant-based meals all week long.

Getting Started

• Choose 3-4 recipes for the week based on shared ingredients
• Make a detailed shopping list organized by store section
• Prep ingredients in bulk on Sunday: wash greens, cook grains, chop vegetables
• Store prepped items in clear containers for easy access

Budget Tips

Buy staples like beans, rice, and lentils in bulk. Shop seasonal produce for the best prices and flavor. Frozen fruits and vegetables are nutritious and affordable alternatives to fresh.

Batch Cooking Essentials

Cook large batches of grains, beans, and sauces that can be mixed and matched throughout the week. A pot of lentil soup, a batch of quinoa, and roasted vegetables can become multiple different meals.

Sample Weekly Plan

• Monday: Buddha bowl with quinoa, roasted vegetables, and tahini dressing
• Tuesday: Black bean tacos with mango salsa
• Wednesday: Lentil soup with crusty bread
• Thursday: Stir-fry with tofu and brown rice
• Friday: Homemade veggie pizza on whole wheat crust
