Whether or not you’re vegan, it’s a good idea to incorporate this 7-Day Plant-Based Meal Plan into your diet. Plant-based meals often contain lots of vegetables, which are great sources of fiber and essential vitamins and minerals. Other ingredients commonly used in vegan cooking, such as legumes and whole grains, are also great sources of fiber. Fiber is essential for maintaining a healthy weight and stabilizing your blood sugar. Plus, you can tons of protein without eating meat, eggs, and dairy. Beans, chickpeas, lentils, and quinoa are all packed with the protein your body needs, and they’re delicious! Even if you don’t plan on being vegan after the week is up, you can still enjoy clean health benefits from our 7-Day Plant-Based Meal Plan. You’ll feel great, and you might even discover some new favorite recipes!

Will eating this way lower cholesterol?
Hi Diane,
Plant-based eating has been found to have positive effects on cholesterol levels, but it is always recommended that you speak with your doctor if you have any concerns.
I’m afraid to start getting less animal protein because I thought protein is what keeps u full? I hate beans n tofu I want to maybe start lowering the amount of animal protein but need some meal ideas that will keep me full with no beans or tofu
Hi Tammie, eggs and nuts also include a good amount of protein. There are also many plant-based protein powders that you can add to recipes (smoothies, baking, etc). We have quite a few recipes that will include protein powder on our site!
I am wondering if you have a calorie/macro count for the days?
Thanks!
Christine, The individual recipes have calories listed but not macros.
Is there a grocery list for this?
Matt, We currently don’t have a shopping list. I’ll add this to the list of shopping lists needed. When it’s completed, it will be added to the bottom of the post for download. Thank you for asking. 🙂
Can I pair this with a workout plan to lose weight?
This meal plan is healthy and can be used in conjunction with any fitness plan.
will this be enough what about if i get hungry in between meals?
Hi Ines,
If you still feel hungry, feel free to eat an extra serving or grab one of your favorite plant-based snacks in between meals. Drinking plenty of water can also help to control your appetite.
