Looking to add more meatless meals to your diet? Here’s a week of vegan meals to inspire you during your weekly meal planning session!
Hi Friends!
This week’s meal plan features a week of vegan meals. I’m not vegan and probably never will be, but I do believe that everyone can benefit from adding some plant-based, nutrient-rich meals to their diet!
This isn’t a meal plan I’m following and you don’t have to follow it exactly either, but here are 5 vegan breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas for you to check out. Consider adding a few of them to your meal plan for next week!
Breakfast
- Classic Acai Bowls via The Pill & Quill
- Use whatever fruit and other toppings are your favorite!
- 5 Ingredient Vegan Banana French Toast via Minimalist Baker
- Perfect for a weekend breakfast!
- Southwestern Tofu Scramble via The Garden Grazer
- The perfect substitute for scrambled eggs!
- Protein Overnight Oats via Eating Bird Food
- Be sure to use a vegan protein powder!
- Paleo Apple Pie Bars via The Big Man’s World
- Follow the instructions for the vegan version
Lunch
- Philly Portobello Steak Sandwich via Veggies Don’t Bite
- Add your favorite vegan cheese if you want to!
- Mashed Chickpea & Avocado Sandwich via The Simple Veganista
- You could also scoop this up with chips or crackers if you don’t want a sandwich!
- Quinoa Corn Edamame Salad via 86 Lemons
- Edamame is a great source of plant protein!
- Chili Quinoa Bean Bites via Coconut & Berries
- Eat them on a salad or in a wrap!

- Hearty, filling and makes enough to eat all week!
Dinner

Want to make your week even easier? Do some food prep. Here are a few ideas based on this meal plan:
- Make a batch of the apple pie bars or a few batches of protein overnight oats to keep in the fridge for a quick grab and go breakfast.
- Chop veggies and cook the beans you’ll need for a tofu breakfast scramble.
- Make a batch of lentil chili and you can reheat it all week.
- Make a big bowl of quinoa edamame salad. Eat it for lunch or add it to dinner as a side dish.
- Bake some quinoa bean bites. Grab a few when packing your lunch to put in a wrap or on a salad.
- Chop and cook the veggies for your Philly sandwiches for quick assembly.
- Make a batch of chickpea burgers and freeze them. Pull them out and reheat as needed for quick weeknight dinners.
- Make a double batch of lentil mushroom ragu and freeze half to have on hand for a busy week later!

Thanks for including my Portobello Steak Sandwiches!! Great list of recipes you have!
Thank you SO MUCH, Lindsay, for this great recipe roundup. Seriously. I’ve been trying to incorporate more vegan meals into my routine, primarily for environmental reasons but also for health reasons, too. It’s always great to have easy vegan recipes ready so I don’t have to think too hard about what to eat. Awesome content, as always. 🙂
So happy you did this roundup because I was just thinking to myself how much meat I eat and how I should cut back a bit! Thanks for sharing xo C
Love this! I’m not a vegan anymore (but still meat free) and it’s easy to get into a carb/cheese rut! These ideas are a great way to switch it up 🙂
Yum! SO many delicious eats!
This is such a great roundup!!
Thanks for sharing, Linds! Great round up- Loving this series!
Awesome round up! I’m always looking for vegan meal inspiration!
So many great meal ideas I don’t even know where to start…I’m not vegan either and will never be, but I totally agree it is always good to try something new! Thanks for sharing!
I always joke how much of a carnivore I am.
and yet?
the older I get the more I realize I just like chicken sometimes 🙂
I could easily go vegan.
I’m not vegan but I like to have variety. I think you just planned my meals for the next month!
I love ALL the foods and love how creative vegan dishes are – thanks for the ideas!
Dang, girl! What a tasty week you’ve got outlined! Thanks for the (acai bowl) linky love! <3
This is great! On my blog I am narrating my desire to do a 7-day vegan experiment and I am in search for creative meal ideas. This is so helpful! Thank you!
