Breakfast

Sweet Oats, Berries and Seeds

Lets keep breakfast simple on your first day of going vegan. Enjoy a bowl of simple oats with maple syrup, berries and seeds. Make it with a non-dairy milk of choice. We love oat milk as it’s super creamy!

What you will need:

• 1/2 cup of oats
• 220mls of non-dairy milk
• 1 handful of berries
• 1 tablespoon of mixed seeds
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Microwave on high for 2.5/3 minutes (based on 900W microwave) – if cooking on the hob, bring to boil then simmer. Cook oats for around 5 minutes, stirring continuously.

Snacks

Apple chunks and peanut butter or seed butter

Pumpkin Seed Butter and sunflower seed butter are great alternative for good fats if you can’t have nuts. It’s equally as tasty!

Non-dairy yoghurt

For non-dairy yoghurts, there are lots of different types, from coconut, soy, almond based yoghurts. Find one you enjoy.

Some American brands include Silk Almondmilk Yogurt, Coconut Collaborative, Forager Project Organic Coconut Cashewgurt, Coyo Coconut Yogurt Alternative, So Delicious Coconutmilk Yogurt Alternative, Cocoyo Living Coconut Yogurt, Good Karma Dairy-Free Yogurt,  Stonyfield’s Organic Dairy-Free Soy Yogurt.

Some British brands of dairy free yoghurt includes Alpro, Coconut Collaborative, Almond Collaborative, Nush, Koko Coconut Yoghurt, Provamel, alongside many large chain own brands such as Tesco.

We also have our very own Homemade Vegan Greek Yoghurt if you fancy yourself making some at home.

Lunch

Vegan Tuna Sandwich

A delicious twist using creamy chickpea tuna as a filling – so good. Packed with iron and protein too. This is another great sandwich filling to make at the beginning of the week so you have it on hand to make more lunches, snacks or dinners when you’re feeling peckish.

Vegan Tuna Sandwich

Snack

Guacamole and crackers

A simple yet delicious snack. Homemade Vegan Guacamole is one of life’s simple pleasures!

Dinner

Tofu Tikka Masala

Tofu Tikka Masala – this tantalising and creamy number is a take on the classic chicken tikka massala version. The creamy rich sauce is achieved with cashews and the firm tofu chunks provide that bite. This can be frozen in batches.

Breakfast

Avocado on sourdough toast

Add salt and pepper to taste, a squirt of lime juice and a sprinkle of seeds for good measure. Adding seeds to dishes boosts it’s nutritional value.

Other great additions to avo on toast is garlic granules, garlic flakes, juicy tomatoes orchilli flakes – it all depends on your personal taste. And how much you can pile on 🙂

Snack

Pear Mango Smoothie

This Pear and Mango Smoothie is super satisfying and easy to make.

Trail mix

The combination of trail mix is absolutely endless! You can add what your preferred bits are – and especially if you need to omit nuts, there are still some great options for you. Pick out your favourite nibbles from the list below and make a batch to keep you grazing when you are feeling peckish though out the week.

Using toasted nuts or seeds gives an extra depth of flavour!

You can buy pre-made trail mix from the store, however it can usually be with added sugars. Making your own can save money! It is also a good way to get some healthy fats in your diet. For example walnuts are a great source of Omega-3!

This meal plan often uses trail mix as an addition to other snacks in case it doesn’t quite fill you.

Lunch

Easy Vegan Pesto Pasta

This Vegan Pesto Pasta Salad is super easy to make and packs a tonne of deliciousness. Its a quick lunch to eat warm or cold as a packed lunch.

You can always buy your own pesto if you do not have time to make it. Our Pesto recipe is nut free however!

Snack

Hummus and veggie sticks, olives.

We have lots of hummus recipes to choose from if you fancy making your own. Try out beetroot wasabi hummus, lupin bean hummus or green split pea hummus.

However understandably its easier to buy from the store – look out for any middle eastern or Lebanese stores who will be sure to stock the best hummus!

Dinner

Vegan Chow Mein

Vegan Chow Mien is the ultimate noodle dish – vegan chow mien is so delicious and easy to make. You can avoid using egg noodles by using ramen. The bean sprouts and green beans in the recipe provides iron and protein.

It is a great dish to have for leftovers for lunch additionally!

Breakfast

Chocolate granola and coconut milk with ripe mango

There are many types of granola to grab and go. The picture is a home-made one if you have time to do so. If not, simply get some store bought granola and a squeezy tube of chocolate sauce like Sweet Freedom. In the US try this Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Spread – just melt a little on top!

What you will need

• 3 cups Rolled Oats
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1/2 raisins
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup coconut

Preheat oven to 180c/350f. Mix all the dry ingredients together. Then add the melted coconut oil and vanilla bit by bit. Some clusters should start to form as you stir it all through.

If there are some too big, break them slightly. Place on a baking tray to bake for around 30-35 minutes. The trick is to not let it burn so ensure you mix it around a bit during this cooking time.

Fresh granola is so good with ice cold milk and chopped fruit like mango or banana.

Snack

Edamame Beans & Berries

You don’t have to eat them together – but berries packed with Vitamin C compliment the iron rich green edamame beans. Edamame beans taste great with a pinch of sea salt.

Lunch

Vegan Tuna Sweetcorn Pasta

This Vegan Tuna Sweetcorn Pasta is a great opportunity to use up the creamy chickpea tuna from Day One’s sandwich filler. It goes great with pasta (sub gluten free if needed) – with a splash of sweet chilli sauce, it’s so good!

Snack

Pitta, Hummus, Crunchy Veg

Warmed pitta bread, raw crunchy veggies and a creamy hummus is the best snack and SO addictive!

Popcorn and Nutritional Yeast

This popcorn snack with nutritional yeast & sea salt is so tasty! If you can – grind the nooch first and it will stick to the popcorn better.

For those who don’t know – nutritional yeast, sometimes known as “nooch” is a cheesy tasting, fortified flake that many vegans use to season food with. It is fortified with B12 and lots of other nutrients.

It can be addictive, be warned!
