Whether it’s a produce-packed salad or nutty whole grain bowl, going vegan means eating vibrant, plant-packed meals. However, whether you’re full time or just starting out, balancing a meal routine with a busy schedule can be challenging. We’re here to help — try this easy vegan meal plan with recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks to plan ahead and eat deliciously all week long.

Vegan Meal Plan Tips

Set yourself up for meal plan success by sticking to these helpful pointers.

  • Get organized. Take a look at the meals you’ll be cooking this week and take stock of ingredients you already have in your kitchen. Then make a grocery list for the items that you’ll need to buy.

  • Prep ahead. Maybe it’s baking up a batch of cookies on Sunday to enjoy during the week, cooking quinoa for a grain bowl or chopping veggies for a soup. The more you can do to get ahead, the better.

  • Don’t cook everything. You don’t have to cook every single meal from scratch during the week — and you might go crazy if you did. Plan several on-the-go meals into your week (such as a grab-and-go lunch from our Prepared Foods department) or ready-to-eat dinners (like our whole pizzas).

How to Use Our Meal Plan

Ready to get started? Below, we’ve shared exactly how our meal plan works so you can dive in with confidence.

  • This meal plan is designed to feed two adults. The majority of the recipes are also kid-friendly and can be doubled (or tripled) to feed a larger crowd.

  • Breakfasts are repeated throughout the week to fit into a busy schedule.

  • The majority of the dinner recipes make four servings, so you can set two servings aside for leftovers the next day. We’ve also mixed in grab-and-go options and ready-to-eat meals from Whole Foods Market for lunch and dinner.

  • Snacks and desserts can be enjoyed during the day when it works best for you. In addition to easy recipes, we’ve also included some Whole Foods Market favorites.
