Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plans: Week Twenty Six

Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plans- easy and flavorful meals for every night of the week! Prep ahead tips + vegan and gluten-free substitutions!

Happy weekend! I hope everyone had a nice week.

I attempted to get into a routine of waking up early to exercise this week and let me tell you, it has not been easy. Between the cold weather and the dark mornings the struggle is real. Can we all just stay in bed until spring gets here? K, thanks.

So we have another meal plan full of light and healthy eats this week! If you’re new around these parts, I team up with Alexis from Hummusapien, Izzy from She Likes Food, Julia from The Roasted Root and Joanne from Eats Well with Others to bring you meal plans that feature nutritious and approachable options for dinner every week. We provide you with ideas for five different meals along with tips to prep ahead and a printable color coded shopping list. Green is for produce, blue is for pantry items and red is for dairy.

I hope you find them useful! If you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I’m always interested in hearing your feedback. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!
