Nicole Thomason's Blog: Vegetarian Meal Plan: Week Two

Today marks the second week in my vegetarian meal plan series! You’ll notice this meal plan has a very similar style to last week’s but the meals do vary a little bit. Like I’ve said before, it’s just easier (and cheaper!) for my family of SIX if we all eat similar things throughout the week. Breakfasts, snacks and lunches are all very similar and then we switch it up more for dinners. And guess what? Nobody complains as long as we switch it up each week. :)

Tip: If you have kids and you aren’t sure you’re able to get them on board with this type of meal planning, tell them that’s all there is. Ha! But really, I’d highly suggest involving them and letting them help you choose the meals and snacks for the week. This gets our kids a lot more excited. They also love to help prepare the meals sometimes. I consider that a win-win.

Here we go!

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! 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.

Happy meal planning!
