Does anyone have any tips for making great tasting vegan meal plans without breaking the bank?
I am trying to make a vegan meal plan for a week and on a very tight budget. I only need to serve two people in my household i need to feed. Is there a way to make a great tasting vegan meal plan for a week without breaking the bank? Thanks any help is appreciated. God bless you! <3
Hey, my tips would be to:
– base meals around healthy complex carbs such as porridge oats and brown rice. These can be bought in bulk, last a long time and are really cheap.
– Work out exactly how much of everything you’ll need for each meal and snack so that there is no waste at the end of the week.
– buy big bags of dried beans. Beans are a staple in a vegan diet, and dried are much cheaper than canned.
– If you can, plan meals which use frozen vegetables. These are often less expensive than fresh but are actually just as nutritious.
– Dried fruit lasts for a long time so is a great snack which you don’t have to worry about using up in time.
– Vegetable and lentil soups are very simple and cheap to make as they don’t require many ingredients.
– If you’re going to buy soy milk, go for a supermarket version rather than a brand name. There is little difference other than the price.
– Prepare extra portions of each meal so that you can freeze them as a standby for days when you don’t feel like cooking.
Good luck with it.

I like Ulina’s answer.
Also, eating vegan is no more expensive than an omnivore diet.
Check out some vegan recipe websites also. Get some cookbooks at the library.
There is all kinds of info out there.

I would recommend trying a mushroom risotto recipe, it is filling, full of all of the essential fats, protien and the caloric count is not that bad (around 500 for one serving). I love mushroom risotto, its orginal and there are a lot great mushroom risotto recipes to try out, check it out–>http://mushroomrisotto.org/
