Every week, I create a menu plan for the week ahead. I’ve always found menu planning to be helpful, but especially when eating a vegan diet.
Sometimes I forget to make one, and those weeks are just awful. I stare into the fridge and whine that there’s “nothing to eat”, even though the fridge is packed full of deliciousness. It’s bad. So – I menu plan every week (usually) to make things easier on myself. And it works. I promise.
Here is the menu plan for my family this week:
Breakfast:
- Smoothie Bowl with Granola, Nuts & Seeds
- Bagel with Vegan Butter, Fruit Smoothie x2
- Peanut Butter & Chocolate Pancakes
- Loaded Breakfast Potatoes with Mushroom Gravy
- Banana French Toast

- Veggie Stir-Fry
- Potato Curry, Rice
- Individual Mini Pizzas, Cucumber Roll-Ups (Stuffed with vegan ricotta cheese!)
- Quinoa Bowl with Oven Roasted Sriracha & Garlic Cauliflower, Chickpeas and Sauted Kale
Snacks/Dessert:

Those potato nachos look killer! I want some of that this week! I plan on doing a bunch of bbq’d veggie meals this week to celebrate the (slightly) warmer weather 🙂
I am not gonna hold my breath, but I’m hoping for warmer weather this week too! We still need to give our barbecue a really good cleaning after the super long winter, so maybe next week we can finally do some BBQ meals!
Your menu plan looks great! I usually just make meals with whatever we have, because I never know exactly what we have until last minute. I like this though because if I don’t know what to make I can just get ideas from your menu plans 🙂
I rarely stick to my menu plan! I just plan one in case I don’t have enough brain power to think of what to eat one day. 😉 I like knowing that I have all the ingredients to make SOMETHING. 🙂
I feel that way sometimes, when I just keep going back and forth from the fridge and pantry looking for something to eat 🙂
