My Super Simple Vegetarian Meal Plan: Week Four

Good morning! We’re already in the fourth week of October. Craziness. This meal plan is the last meal plan in the series and I hope you’ve been enjoying them so far. Again, this meal plan is very similar to the first three (which you can see here, here and here).

Vegetarian Meal Plan: Week Four

My daily menu (typically the same for the week)

Breakfast: Blueberry Muffin + Greek Yogurt

Snack: Crackers + Cheese Wedge + Unsweetened Applesauce or Apple (Honeycrisps are in season!)

Lunch: Dinner Leftovers + Mixed Veggies

This week I’ve been prepping containers of mixed veggies to bring to work to eat with lunch each day in an attempt to get more veggies in my belly. I just purchase the steam bags of veggies from Aldi and divide them up for the week. It literally takes 5 minutes! I use these meal prep containers. They’re BPA-free and dishwasher and microwave safe! To my surprise they’ve been holding up very well and are awesome for the price.

Snack: Protein Smoothie + Celery Sticks + Peanut Butter

*****

Beyond Meat Beyond Beef

I used this as a beef “substitute” but I wasn’t immediately sold on it. It consists mainly of pea protein and I just wasn’t a big fan of the taste when I added it to goulash. Meh.

{DINNERS}

Monday: Taco Bowl (Refried Beans, Black Beans, White Rice, Diced Tomatoes, Salsa, Cheese + Sour Cream)

Tuesday: Spicy Goulash + Garlic Bread

Wednesday: “Chicken” Patty + French Fries + Veggies

Thursday: Pancakes + Scrambled Eggs + “Sausage”

Friday: Heggies Pizza – these are from a fundraiser we participated in and they’re sooooo good! It’s a local business that I’m proud to support. It helps that they make tasty frozen pizzas.

Saturday: Leftovers

Sunday: Vegetable Soup + Cheese Sandwich with Ranch – I’ve been obsessed with cheese sandwiches lately… I don’t even know.

I have a free meal planning printable to help make your workout and meal planning super easy. Just click on the link (will open in new tab for you), print it out and get to planning! To save paper and time, I recommend laminating the meal planner so you can reuse it over and over. I have a Scotch brand laminating machine and I’ve found so many helpful uses for it. Highly recommend!

And that wraps up this week’s meal plan and the series! I hope you find that these simple, affordable, vegetarian meal plans work just as well for you as they do for me. And if not, I hope you’ll at least come away with some meal ideas that sound appetizing to you.

When it comes to meal planning I KISS. (Keep it simple, stupid) It’s the only way I can easily make it work for me and my family.

Happy meal planning!
