This vegan weekly meal plan in under one hour gives you five vegan dinner recipes that you can whip up in an hour or less! They're healthy, they're easy, and they're delicious. We also give you meal prep tips and a shopping list to make eating healthy even easier.
WHY PLANNING YOUR MEALS WILL HELP YOU EAT HEALTHIER
If your goal is to eat healthier, save money, and spend quality time with loved ones, then our meal plans are for you.
We hand picked five of our best vegan dinner recipes that use similar ingredients, so you can prep ahead and spend less time cooking and more time doing the things that you love to do. Like eating.
Our weekly meal plan works for one to four people. If you're making food for one, pick two or three of the recipes and you'll have enough leftover from each meal to feed yourself throughout the week.
Following a meal plan will prevent you from eating fast food or tearing open a box of prepared food that's most likely filled with sugar, sodium, and saturated fat. Our meals are made with whole foods that taste great and are good for you. A much better choice.
You'll also save money, because eating out and buying prepared foods is much more expensive than buying whole foods.
OUR FREE VEGAN MEAL PLANS ARE EASY TO FOLLOW AND HEALTHY
We love helping people eat healthier foods that are good for everyone. Our vegan meal plans are good for you, animals, and the environment.
They are also easy to follow and our prepping tips will make your weeknights even easier.
Additionally, we show you how to prepare the bulk of the meals on Sunday so you can whip up a meal in no time on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
PREPARING YOUR MEALS FOR THE WEEK
This week's meal plan is built around our Healthy Vegan Taco Filling. You're going make a double batch and use it for three of the five meals.
Please keep in mind that the shopping list doesn't include spices, oil, or pantry/refrigerator staples. Please check over the ingredients in the recipes and add what you need to the shopping list.
SUNDAY VEGAN MEAL PREP
FIRST - Make two batches of the vegan taco meat. Click here to go to the recipe. Store it in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
- NOTE: Don't double the spices in the recipe, especially the cayenne. You'll want to add the amount of spice called for, then add more slowly to taste.
SECOND - Make the Chili Con Carne today (this takes more than an hour, and that's why you want to make it while you're prepping for the week).
- NOTE: Skip the cauliflower in the chili recipe, because you're going to add 3 cups of the taco filling instead.
OPTIONAL: If you have the time, make the falafel today and then all you'll have to do is heat them when you're ready to eat them.
healthy vegan taco filling
Our healthy vegan taco filling is the perfect healthy addition to any meal.
It's so flavorful and has a really similar texture to a meat crumble! One of our favorite things about this taco filling is that you can also freeze it!
To make future vegan meal planning even easier, you can triple the recipe and freeze some extra.
MONDAY VEGAN MEAL PREP
If your Mondays are like ours, this is the day that tempts us to order take out. That's why we chose chili for Monday's meal.
You're going to be so happy that you prepped the chili on Sunday because all you'll need to do is heat it up, whip up the cornbread, and enjoy.
- NOTE: If you're not a fan of spicy food, you can leave the jalapeño pepper out of the cornbread.
- Add a side salad so you get your daily allowance of greens in.
