Three Days of Easy Vegetarian Menu Planning with Recipes for National Vegetarian Week and beyond


You may not realise it, but vegetarian menu planning can be easier than you think! I’m no vegetarian, but even meat eaters like me can benefit our health, the environment and our budgets by choosing to eat more meat free meals.

Regular readers will know that I’m passionate about reducing the amount of meat my family eats. I’ve done some vegetarian menu planning and put together three days worth of vegetarian menus complete with recipes. If you are a vegetarian I hope you will find it a great resource – and if you aren’t I hope it will encourage you to add some meat free recipes to your menu rotation.

Every time you choose to eat a meat free meal, you are benefitting your health and often the health of the planet too. So even if it is just one meat free day per week – or a few meat free meals here and there – everything you do helps.

Making the Menu Plan Work For You

Feel free to switch things round within this menu plan, or pick and choose the recipes and meals that appeal to you most. This is just a guide, designed to show you how easy vegetarian meal planning can be and how easy it can be to eat more plant based meals.

So, without further ado, I give you:-

    1. Thank you, Joanne, and I really appreciate you sharing the post as well 🙂

  1. Great menu! I would gladly eat all of it! Pinning. My family is mostly vegetarian (we eat fish every week or two, other meats much less often) and there really are lots of things to eat that aren’t meat.

  2. The whole menu looks delicious!
