Wow, here we are at week 28. That’s half a year of meal plans. Just think, if you’re willing to eat the same food twice a year then VegHead for a day has you covered for your weekly foray into plant based eating. Kyla and I are super grateful for those who have signed up and followed along. We will continue to offer up food ideas in a slightly different format from here on. We look forward to continuing to grow this movement and hope that you’ll come along for the ride… and as always we appreciate your feedback so let us know what you think.

Breakfast

acai bowl
Açai Breakfast Bowl

In the world of superfoods, Açai is at the top of the list, and this delicious fruity breakfast bowl proves that great taste and good for you can go hand in hand.

Lunch

leek and potato soup
Leek and Potato Soup

Leek and potato soup is a french classic that is so simple and flavourful that you’ll want to make this lunch all through the winter months.

Dinner

tex mex tortilla bake
Tex-Mex Tortilla Bake

Yes even plant based Tex-Mex is the perfect marriage of cheese, beans and tortillas. This layered bake will have even the omnivores asking for seconds.

Snacks & Desserts

pickled onions
Quick Pickled Onions

When Kyla makes these simple pickled onions they last all of about 2 days. Yes they are that good. Put them on crackers, salads, sandwiches or on their own.

The shopping list is broken down by meal for ease of use. We try to include recipes that use the same ingredients more than once so that you don’t end up with food waste. Because of this you’ll see that if an ingredient in the breakfast recipe is also in the dinner recipe it is only listed once. Let us know if you like this way of laying out the shopping list or if you have a better suggestion. If you’ve been following along for a few weeks you’ll notice that many of the ingredients are things that were used in weeks past.
