👉 How To Use This Meal Plan

I’ve included four vegetarian dinners in this meal plan to leave some days for leftovers or eating out. I’ve also included a breakfast idea, which can be enjoyed on any day!

1. Print or save the Meal Plan and Grocery List below.
2. Head to the recipes (the QR codes will take you to them). You can click “jump to recipe” at the top of each post, or read the post to learn about substitutions and variations. You can print these recipes or save them on your phone.
3. Check the grocery list, crossing off any ingredients you already have, or that are for recipes you don’t want to make.
4. Grocery shop. I’ve sorted the list by section in the grocery store to make it quick! I personally prefer scheduling a pickup or delivery for Sunday morning so I can prep my meals for the week on Sunday evening.
5. Cook and eat! Feel free to drop any questions about recipes in the comments section below each recipe (or just to leave a review on how it went – this helps our community tremendously!).

💪 Meal Prep Tips

You can prep these things in advance to make cooking throughout the week even easier:

• Roasted Vegetable Grain Bowls: Batch cook the sorghum, chop the veggies, and mix the sauce. Store them separately in the fridge. On the day of, simply roast the veggies and toss everything together!
• Sweet Potato Black Bean Tacos: Peel and dice the potatoes. Mix the adobo sauce and store everything in separate containers. When dinner rolls around, season and roast the potatoes and black beans and pile everything together!
• Roasted Carrots With Chickpeas: To save time, halve the carrots, measure the seasonings, and mix the tahini sauce. When ready, season and roast the carrots and chickpeas, then plate and drizzle with the sauce.
• Lemon Pepper Tofu: Drain, press, and break the tofu into chunks so it’s ready to toss with seasonings and bake!
• Freezer Breakfast Burritos: Cook everything in batches, assemble the burritos, and freeze them for quick grab-and-go breakfasts all week!

Gone are the “What’s for dinner?” debates! Meal planning means less time stressing and more time enjoying. (Bonus points if you prep ingredients ahead!)

3. Get Healthier (Without The Effort)
Not only does meal planning help you avoid the temptation of takeout, but you can sneak in extra veggies and control portion sizes more effortlessly when you have a plan in place.
