  • Dinners for 5 days
  • A Meal Prep/Batch Plan
  • Shopping list
  • Oil-Free, Plant-Based Recipes

Weekly Plant-Based Meal Plan Membership

What else do you need to know? The Batch Cooking plan includes a few things. It usually includes either a breakfast, a snack, or both. It also includes one meal, usually a soup that can be made ahead. If other meals on the dinner meal plan could benefit from some meal prep, we will include those too.

Weekly Meal Plan

Example Meal Plan

The weekly meal plans vary every week. We don’t follow a formula but we have discovered some strategies that work best for our members.

A typical week could include:

  • Hearty Veggie Soup
  • Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burrito Bowl/Salad
  • Lentil Bolognese with Pasta
  • Tostadas
  • Veggie Wraps

For this example, the batch plan/meal prep part of the meal plan would include:

  • Big Baked Oatmeal
  • Hearty Veggie Soup
  • Roasted Sweet Potatoes to be used in the Burrito Bowl/Salad
  • Hummus to use in the veggie wrap

The Big Baked Oatmeal, Hearty Veggie Soup, roasted sweet potatoes and hummus can easily be made in about an hour if you choose to make those ahead of time.

The rest of the meal plan consists of quick meals that are made in less than 30 minutes. If we have a menu item that takes an hour (or so) to make, we let you know so you can choose the best day to make that option.

The forth and fifth meals of the week are often really quick meals that can be made on the busiest days or saved for another time.

What are Members Saying?

Thank you so much for all of your hard work on these meal plans. I appreciate you making it so simple to learn how to batch cook. Thank you for occasionally doing the live cooking sessions. It really helps to see how you do things & also to hear you say “It’ll be fine”. I’m learning to be more creative about substituting when I don’t have an ingredient on hand.

Keri, Member since September 2020

I love all the meal plans, I like to know what to have for breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner. Instead of trying to wing it and figure out what to cook on my own… I love it, they love it, my husband’s happy, my daughter’s happy. To me, it’s awesome. I love all the food. Everything is great!

Yvonne, Member since September 2020

Plant-Based Meal Plan

May 18, 2020 by Holly 1 Comment

Getting your family interested in eating better is one of the best things you can do to make feeding your family easier. Our biggest hold out, my 11 year old has made huge progress in eating healthier over the last year. In fact, I’m letting him help choose meals for this plant-based meal plan.

Plant-Based Meal Plan featuring breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner.

Like many people, he doesn’t want to feel pressured into doing something he doesn’t want to do. We let him take the lead and give lots of positive encouragement for good choices.

Plant-Based Meal Plan

I did a little batch cooking this weekend! We have Taco Soup, Baked Potatoes, Instant Pot Oatmeal, One Pot Broccoli Rice Casserole and Raspberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing. I plan to make some Air Fryer Tofu and Overnight Chia Pudding today too.

Plant-Based Breakfast

We have all be eating a lot of Instant Pot Oatmeal! I’ve made two double batches in the last week. My son has been on a big Chocolate Overnight Oats kick! A few mornings lately, we’ve had mid-morning smoothies too.

Plant-Based Lunch

Soup is one of my favorite leftover lunches. My kids are happy with sandwiches or oatmeal they make themselves. Last week it was leftover Tortilla Soup, this week leftover Taco Soup. Our batch cooked baked potatoes will be a great addition to lunch.

Plant-Based Snack

  • Carrots and hummus
  • Chocolate No Bake Bites
  • Smoothie Bowls
  • Fresh berries

Plant-Based Dinner

Monday: Quinoa Lentil Salad is perfect to start off the week. We have a lot of veggies from our weekend grocery delivery.

Tuesday: Lentil Tacos or Taco Salad with Instant Pot Refried Beans and Mexican Rice.

Wednesday: Leftovers!

Thursday: Vegetable Pasta using all the extra veggies that haven’t gotten eaten yet. Definitely tomatoes, zucchini, broccoli, carrots, onions, garlic and more!

Friday: Tostada’s are becoming a weekly favorite! They are so easy and everyone makes their own on our assembly line.

Last week I mentioned that I had preordered Fiber Fueled: The Plant-Based Gut Health Program for Losing Weight, Restoring Your Health, and Optimizing Your Microbiome by Will Bulsiewicz. I got it Thursday and I’m loving it! I’m learning a lot about our microbiome and how it impacts our health.

My kids have gotten into a nice routine of making their own breakfast and lunch each day. Sometimes they will still ask me, “what’s for lunch” and I remind them of all the things they can make. They usually choose easy things like oatmeal, PB&J’s or beans.

Plant-Based Breakfast

This week we will be having Blueberry Baked Oatmeal (recipe coming soon), smoothies, Strawberry Banana Muffins and maybe Instant Pot Oatmeal.

Plant-Based Lunch

This week, I plan to enjoy dinner leftovers for lunch as much as possible. Soup and salad is always a favorite! My kids will love having tostada’s again. They’ve been making their own lunches every day and I love it. They’ve been eating lot’s of sandwiches and beans.

Plant-Based Snacks

  • Fresh strawberries
  • Smoothie Bowls
  • Chocolate No Bake Bites
  • Breakfast Cookies

Plant-Based Dinner

Monday: Hearty Veggie and Potato Soup is one of my favorites! It’s great for leftovers too.

Tuesday: Tostada’s using Instant Pot Refried Beans, lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, salsa and corn. Everyone loves tostada night!

Wednesday: Veggie Burgers with Oil-Free Potato wedges. I like to have a big salad right before or with dinner.

Thursday: As good as making pizza would be, pasta and sauce is much easier. Of course, Pizza Pasta is always an option!

Friday: Snack food night! We will have veggies and hummus, quesadillas, popcorn, potato wedges and maybe Chickpea Nuggets. The kids love eating stuff like this, especially when they get to eat in the living room while watching a movie!

I recently preordered a new book that is coming out this week! I’m excited to read Fiber Fueled! A new plant-based book all about gut health. Yes, I know I’m a geek but I’m still mentioning it in case you haven’t heard about it and want to preorder too.

Plant-Based Meal Plan

May 4, 2020 by Holly Leave a Comment

This week’s plant-based meal plan includes a lot of variety! I just cleaned out my pantry and organized all of our pantry staples. It’s nice to know what all I have to work with.

Plant-Based Meal Plan featuring breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

Plant-Based Breakfast

My husband and I are both working from home but we don’t want to take a lot of time to make breakfast. We’ve been loving baked oatmeal. I just shared my Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal recipe and I’ll share my Blueberry Baked Oatmeal soon. We’ve also been have fruit, sometimes smoothies or toast with peanut butter.

Plant-Based Lunch

We regularly rely on dinner leftovers for lunch. I’ve been on a salad kick! Sandwiches are also a favorite! Especially when I have fresh hummus and lots of veggies.

Plant-Based Snacks

  • Apple Oatmeal Muffins
  • Veggies and hummus
  • Fresh watermelon and cantaloupe
  • Chocolate Banana Bread
  • Popcorn

Plant-Based Dinner

Monday: Instant Pot Goulash has been popular on Instagram lately. I see lots of people making it and think we need to make it too! It uses mostly pantry staples!

Tuesday: One Pot Broccoli and Rice Casserole is a great main dish that reheats well. My husband requested it this week. It’s his favorite!

Wednesday: Veggie Burrito is mostly a Make Your Own Burrito type of thing. We prepare all the ingredients like Refried Beans, Mexican Rice, Pico de Gallo, etc. and everyone makes their own burrito or bowl.

Thursday: Broccoli Potato Soup is an easy meal and perfect for leftover soup and salad.

Friday: Breakfast for dinner! Tofu Scramble, Baked Oatmeal and fresh fruit. We may even make pancakes!

I’ve got several new recipes we’ve been testing. I hope to share them with you soon!

Plant-Based Meal Plan

Plant-Based Meal Plan

We’ve been cooking a lot lately. This week’s Plant-Based Meal Plan will include some new favorites! Our meals will be switching from cozy comfort foods to summer foods since it’s now 100 degrees here in Arizona.

Plant-Based Meal Plan

This page contains affiliate links. That means I might make a small commission if you purchase something using a link from my page. 

My kids have been wanting to help with cooking. I’ve been choosing some meals and snacks that are easy for them to help with. I’m thinking about putting all of their recipes in an ebook. 

Plant-Based Meal Plan

Over the weekend we were able to get all the groceries we needed and do a little cooking! I made a big batch of Mexican Rice in my Instant Pot and we still have a lot. We also have Refried Beans still but finished off the black beans. 

Plant-Based Breakfast

We are loving Baked Oatmeal right now! My kids love my Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal but I’m in love with blueberry. I love it for an easy breakfast but it’s also good as a snack and dessert. We’ve also been having quick and easy peanut butter toast with fruit, or just a couple of pieces of fruit. 

Plant-Based Lunch

I finally started baking bread again. It’s so good and I’m letting my kids help. I use the New Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day book so I make a big batch and cook a loaf or two for a few days. This bread is perfect for Veggie Sandwiches!

My kids prefer PB&J and we usually have a lot of leftovers that we transform in to new things like Veggie Burritos.

Plant-Based Snacks

We’ve been eating a lot of snacks! Keeping our fruit and veggie favorites stocked helps cut down on the processed stuff. This week our snacks will include:

  • Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
  • Popcorn
  • Oil-Free Hummus with carrots, cucumbers and bell peppers
  • Blueberries and Strawberries
  • Apples with Peanut Butter and chia seeds
  • Mango Lime Ice Pops
  • Fresh baked bread

Plant-Based Dinner

Monday: Plant-Based Tostadas are planned again because we didn’t make them last week. They are so easy and will be perfect for a Monday! We will use our leftover beans and rice too!

Tuesday: Minestrone Soup is full of fresh veggies and will be delicious as leftovers.

Wednesday: Family Salad Bar with greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, peppers, and anything else we can think of. Plus our favorite salad dressings, Maple “honey” Mustard, Creamy Italian, Sweet and Tangy Salad Dressing or Balsamic Vinegar. Sometimes we will have croutons, or different nuts to add some crunch. 

We will probably have this along with something else like beans and rice or bake potatoes.

Thursday: Veggie Pad Thai is one of my favorites. We may do a simple stir fry instead.

Friday: Veggie Burgers, Oil-Free Potato Wedges and baked beans. 

Plant-Based Dessert

We don’t always have dessert but lately we’ve been wanting something after dinner. Me and the kids made homemade popsicles and I’ve been eating the Baked Oatmeal. I was telling our oldest son about my Chocolate No-Bake Bites that are like healthier versions of the peanut butter and chocolate no bake cookies. He’s doesn’t remember having my version so I should probably make them.  

Is there a lot of variety in your meals these days? Or, are you eating the same thing every day? We are getting more variety and trying new things!
