Vegan Meal Plans guides you in the preparation of 20 different dinners; enough for one month of weeknight meals, with some leftovers to bring for lunch the next day. There are over 60 vegan recipes, all with nutritional and serving size information included, most with pictures of the finished dinners, tips on vegan cooking, grocery lists for each week, and ideas on how to put it all together in a hurry.

Vegan Meal Plans focuses on fall and winter seasonal produce that most people can get at their local market, including sweet potatoes, butternut squash, pumpkin, spaghetti squash, kale, collard greens, apples, beets, broccoli, garlic, onions, and more. We believe in whole meals made with whole grains, a variety of beans and legumes, fruits and vegetables, and nuts and seeds, and most of our vegan meal plan centers around these whole foods, although we do add in vegan desserts and treats.

Many of our vegan recipes can be adapted to gluten-free, no added oils, or other dietary restrictions, and we give tips on how you could use different fruits and vegetables in meals, based on preferences and availability.
