Vegan Meal Plans

No idea where to start when it comes to making vegan food? Our vegan meal plans make the transition easier. With a week’s worth of breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and desserts included in each, you’ll get the hang of plant-powered life in no time.

Using meal plans is ideal when you’re not clued up about vegan nutrition and have no idea how to read food labels yet.

You’ll discover new foods, get into a routine and feel less anxious. Over time, planning becomes less important as vegan life becomes as comfortable as anything you’ve ever known.

A Quick Note on our Vegan Meal Plans

  • Every recipe can be downloaded in printable format, and each meal plan has a space at the bottom for your own notes.
  • Some basic nutritional detail is included with these plans. You’ll find more in our blog pages. Just search for what you want!
  • For inspiration, you may like to check out some of our vegan recipes.
  • We haven’t included fruit and nuts as snack options, as these plans are designed to build up your culinary repertoire and introduce you to new ideas. However, fruit and nuts are handy snacks to eat on the go and are the healthiest way to beat mid-morning or afternoon tummy rumbles.
