Week 6 Meal Plan {Gluten-Free Vegan}

Week 6 of my 2020 Plant-Based Meal Plan series – including breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner – featuring recipes from Dr. Greger's How Not To Die Cookbook.

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.

This week we are taking a slightly different approach. Nearly all of the recipes are from Dr. Greger's How Not To Die Cookbook. I have provided links to recipes that are available on his website, but some of them are only available in the book.

As mentioned in previous posts, my husband has agreed to go entirely plant-based for the month of February and we have created a free workshop to share the experience. So, this is the meal plan Chris began on February 1.

In addition to Chris posting comments on each meal, I am sharing how I tweak or adjust recipes to meet our needs. I encourage you to enroll in Watch Chris Go Plant-Based if you would like to see this information.

Week 6 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.

Breakfast

Dr. Greger shares a number of tasty breakfast options in the cookbook. His Morning Grain Bowls sound particularly interesting. But Chris and I are pretty set in our breakfast routine. He eats oatmeal with fruit every morning and I eat oatmeal or porridge with various toppings.

Find what works best for you. ?
