Our Menu Plan This Week

August 11, 2014 2 Comments

Blender as Glass 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:

  • Huge Salad with Beets, Carrots, Spinach, Cucumber & Tahini Dressing
  • Vegan Caesar Salad, Fruit
  • Raw Berry Crisp x2
  • Shaved Fennel Salad with Raspberry Dressing
  • Strawberry Spinach Salad
  • Sliced Bananas & Apples with Cinnamon & Almond Butter, Raw Veggie Sticks, Berries & Fresh Juice (Apples, Kale, Lemon, Celery)

Dinner:

  • Raw Broccoli, Mango, Avocado and Date Salad
  • Veggie Stir-Fry with Smoked Tofu
  • Quinoa Bowl with Smoked Tofu, Beets, Carrots, Avocado, Spinach & Tomato
  • Cauliflower Fried “Rice”
  • Vegan Eggplant Parmesan
  • 3-Bean Chili with Pesto & Homemade Flat Bread
  • Baked Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

Snacks/Dessert:

  • Fruit
  • Raw Nuts
  • Banana Ice Cream
  • Lemon Blueberry Crepes
  • Lemon Blueberry Muffins

What’s on your menu this week?

    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.
