That moment when your blender becomes your glass.
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:
- Fresh Juice (Cucumber, Lemon, Green Apple, Red Cabbage), Fruit Smoothie
- Fruit Smoothie, Roasted Potatoes with Nacho Cheese Sauce
- Fruit Smoothie x5 (trying to stick to smoothie-only breakfasts this week)
Lunch:

- Vegan Caesar Salad, Fruit
- Raw Berry Crisp x2
- Shaved Fennel Salad with Raspberry Dressing

Dinner:
- Raw Broccoli, Mango, Avocado and Date Salad

I love that you share these each week! How long do you usually spend actually making your plan? I find mine take awhile, does it get faster over time? Thanks!
Lately it has taken me around an hour, because I’m trying to come up with new fall recipes, instead of relying on summer dishes only. Normally it takes around 30 minutes.
