The First Vegan Menu Plan
The first vegan menu is made for people who are ready to start cooking new vegan meals. For some, it will be easier to start with the menu plan that has takeout and stuff that's easy to find out to eat.
After you are comfortable with that, you will want to tackle cooking your own meals.
I find there's something quite empowering as being able to figure out what you feel like making and then create it in the kitchen. No need to depend on a restaurant to provide your needs!
These meals are easy to prepare. Again, you can eat as much as you want, as long as it's the right foods, so I don't give specific amounts for most of these menus. Eat slowly and with time in between each serving, and if you are still hungry, eat a little more. The goal is not to get stuffed, but to satisfy your hunger.
You will probably have plenty of food left over to take to work or school the next day, so this first vegan menu plan could extend beyond 7 days. Or, you can always just make less of each meal so there are no leftovers.
Here is a link to the vegan recipes page where you can find all of these great meals.
