Plant Based Vegan Week Meal Plan

by Emily

Here is what I planned / meal prepped for a week of healthy plant based vegan eating. 

If I want to make sure I am staying on track with eating healthy I plan out what I will eat for the week.  This helps me to:

  • buy only the produce I need & not waste any
  • meal prep
  • stick to my eating goals
  • save money
  • be more organized

I get my recipe insipration from all over – pinterst, instagram, restuarants, family. As the weather gets colder I wanted to make soup so I am taking a recipe my mom would make and veganizing it. As well as doing a copy cat teriyaki bowl I got for lunch from freshii last week – It was pretty simple so I knew I could make it & for a fraction of the cost. As always I like to have a fruit as a snack & typically an energy bite. This plan is for 5 days as the weekends I will eat out, get takeout, or make a fancier recipe.

On Sunday evening I meal prepped my lunch by cooking, baking, mixing and chopping the ingredients for my bowl and snacks. 2 nights this week I will make a main dish and then have the leftovers on the other nights. My smoothies take me about 5 minutes to make in the morning, the oatmeal I bring to work and add hot water.

My Plant Based Vegan Meal Plan for the week of November 5th:

Breakfast-

Oatmeal – with berries & nuts

Protein Smoothie – frozen banana or other fruit, plant based protein powder, spinach or pumpkin puree, soymilk, seeds (hemp, chia or flax). My latest go to – Pumpkin shake recipe is here

Lunch-

Teriyaki bowl – quinoa, baked tofu, edamame, broccoli, cucumber, carrots, teriyaki sauce (I like Trader Joe’s Soyaki) 

Snacks-  

Apple (honeycrisp is my fav) 

Cherry tomatoes

Celery with peanut butter

Energy Bites

Dinner-

Mushroom Barley Soup– adaption of my mom’s recipe.

Stuffed Portabella Mushroom Caps – Adaption on a recipe from How Not to Die Cookbook. 

 

Tips:

Freeze your bananas in chunks for your smoothies – then you don’t need ice.

Pack your teriyaki sauce separate so your bowl does not get soggy or get spilled in commute. 

If your mornings are busy make overnight oats before you go to bed and grab n go the next morning.
