Week 5 Meal Plan {Vegan and Gluten-Free}

Week 5 of my 2020 Plant-Based Meal Plan series – including breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner – featuring simple, easy to prepare recipes.

If you are new to my meal plan series, I encourage you to visit my Week 1 post to learn about recommended appliances, Test Kitchen recipes, and daily menu items.

If you are looking for additional support and community, I encourage you to join the free workshop I created to document my husband’s plant-based journey for the month of February. Visit Watch Chris Go Plant-Based or scroll to the bottom of this post to learn more.

Week 5 Grocery List

I’ve gone over the ingredients for every recipe in this week’s plan and made a grocery list. It includes quantities when appropriate, so you can compare it to what you may already have on hand.

Dessert

I enjoy dessert once or twice a week – usually over the weekend. This week I plan to make:

Energy bites also make a great on-the-go snack.
