With a new year just beginning I know many people want to eat more veggies and less refined sugar...but they don't know where to start! Here I've assembled a sample plant-based meal plan using some of my favorite, super easy recipes so you can see what a Vegan Meal Plan looks like!
If this post inspires you to meal prep this week for your family please let me know in the comments below. I would love to hear how it goes for you. If you get a chance to snap a picture of any of the recipes then please tag me #eatingbyelaine / @eatingbyelaine on social.
