Free Plant-Based Meal Plan – Week 2

By Fawn Lynn on March 13, 2023

Free Plant-Based Meal Plan - Week 2 - Fit & Flourish

As promised, here is Week 2 of my Plant-based Meal Plan series. There are so many healthy benefits to eating a whole foods, plant-based diet, and meal planning is a great way to help you save time and money. When you know exactly what you are making for the week and have everything prepped and ready, it can lessen the temptation to go out and grab something easy and most likely unhealthy.

All of the recipes I share are things I feed my own family. These are either my own recipes, or recipes I have found online (links will be included). I choose to eat whole foods as much as possible; however, I do use some minimally processed food as well (certified organic, when possible).

Many of the recipes will have “olive oil” or other types of oil in the ingredients list. You can definitely leave out the oil or consider reducing the amount you use. If you are on an oil-free diet, just simply leave out the oil. For more information on the reason to go oil-free, and how to cook without using oil, click the link here. I personally choose to cook mostly oil-free meals, but will occasionally make an exception for certain recipes. If I do add oil, I only measure out a teaspoon or two for an entire recipe.

What’s Included in the Plan

This is a 7-day meal plan covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfasts are usually a couple meals repeated to save time and money. Lunches are often leftovers from dinner, grain bowls, some type of potato, soup, or plant-based sandwiches. These will change from week to week for variety.

I did not include snacks in this plan because everyone’s snacking habits are different.

Snack ideas on a plant-based diet:

  • Fresh fruit (bananas, apples, berries, plums, oranges, melon, mangoes, grapes)
  • Frozen fruit (berries, mangoes, peaches, grapes)
  • Smoothies
  • Hummus with fresh vegetables and whole grain pita bread or crackers
  • Homemade french fries or tortilla chips
  • Air-popped popcorn
  • Homemade granola bars
  • Non-dairy yogurt

While this meal plan covers 7 days, I leave one day open for eating out for dinner. This is what my family typically does on a weekly basis to give us a night off of cooking and try some of the (new to us) restaurants in our area. Another alternative is to make homemade pizza (recipe included). This is a fun option to do for a weekend meal if you plan to eat in.

A note about servings: All dinner recipes serve a family of four, breakfasts typically serve one, and lunches will vary and can be modified. “Leftover” lunch days will vary depending on how much of the dinner recipe is leftover. The grocery list will include all ingredients for the recipes as they are written (unless otherwise noted). It will be up to you to adjust ingredient quantity for more or less servings depending on your needs.

Click the links below to view the recipes. I have no affiliation with any of the following websites, this is simply a collection of recipes I use and love.

Breakfast

  • Banana Baked Oatmeal

    2. When done scoop out a ripe avocado and divide it between the two pieces of toast.

      2. In a bowl, mix 1 cup frozen corn with taco seasonings (chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt). Spread on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake 5 minutes.
      3. Meanwhile, heat beans in saucepan or microwave. Sprinkle with salt and other taco seasonings to taste.

Meal Prep Tips

Meal prep can help you stick with a plan when it comes to eating plant-based. It makes cooking go smoother with less stress in the kitchen. Having your meals prepped and ready will mean you aren’t scrambling to put together a meal, or grabbing something quick when you are hungry and just don’t have time. Pick a day of the week that works for you and try to do as many of these tips as possible. A couple hours of meal prep one day a week can help you feel at ease and successful the rest of the week.

  • Prep snacks
    • Wash and cut all fruits and vegetables you intend to use for snacks.
  • Batch cook starches
    • Bake or air fry potatoes until tender
    • Make a batch of rice and/or pasta for the week
  • Make dressings/dips
  • Wash and prep salad greens
  • Make home-baked goods (breads, rolls, tortillas, etc)
    • Note: Baked goods may be stored in the freezer until ready to use.

Week 2 Meal Prep List

  1. Starches:
    • Precook quinoa (dinner day 5) and brown rice (lunch day 6)
    • Precook noodles (dinner days 1 & 3)
  2. Dressings/Dips:
    • Make Garlic Dill Sauce (dinner day 4)
    • Make Thai Peanut Quinoa Salad Dressing (dinner day 5)
  3. Salads/Greens:
    • Wash lettuce, cabbage, and other greens
    • Wash cilantro for topping (if using)
    • Baked Goods:
      • Make Banana Baked Oatmeal (breakfast days 1, 2, 4)
