Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plans: Week Five

Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plans- an entire week of quick, easy and nutritious meals that the whole family will love! (with vegan and gluten-free options)

Happy weekend, party people!

Myself and four of my talented friends are back with meatless dinner ideas to help inspire your meal plan. This week we have stuffed zucchini, avocado egg salad, quinoa fried rice, corn and jalapeño frittata, and balsamic sweet pepper pasta on the menu.

At the bottom you’ll find a printable color-coded grocery list (green for produce, blue for pantry/misc. items, and red for dairy). If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to let us know. We do this for YOU so any feedback you have is greatly appreciated. :)

I hope you have a great rest of your weekend. Cheers to a healthy week ahead!

Monday

Herby Avocado Egg Salad Sandwiches from The Roasted Root

Prep Ahead Tip: The eggs can be hard boiled up to 3 days ahead of time.

Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: The sandwiches can be made with your choice of gluten-free bread, or the egg salad can be served bread-less on top of a green salad. To make this recipe vegan, replace the eggs with a 14 to 16-ounce container of tofu. Press the tofu, chop it into small cubes, transfer to a mixing bowl, then follow the remainder of the recipe.

Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: Recipe is vegan! To make it gluten-free, sub tamari instead of soy sauce.

Wednesday

Corn, Jalapeno and Brie Frittata from Eats Well With Others

Prep Ahead Tip: This recipe takes around 45 minutes to prepare, but the majority of that is hands off time while it bakes in the oven. To speed things up, saute the veggies ahead of time so that the night of cooking everything just needs to be mixed together and poured into a baking pan.

Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: This cannot easily be made vegan as it relies so heavily on eggs! It can be made dairy-free by substituting the brie with your favorite dairy-free cheese and replacing the milk with unsweetened soy or almond milk. It is already gluten free.

Thursday

Balsamic Sweet Pepper Pasta with Parmesan and Spinach from She Likes Food

Prep Ahead Tip: You can slice the peppers ahead of time to save some time. You could also cook the peppers ahead of time and them throw them into the cooked pasta to heat them up before serving.

Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: To make it vegan you can either omit the parmesan cheese or use non-dairy cheese instead. You could also sprinkle some nutritional yeast into the pasta for a cheesy taste! Use gluten free pasta to make gluten free.
