In this episode, I share practical tips on how to start meal planning as a a new vegan.

Think about what you’re already eating and make a vegan version of those meals Example: Smoothie - instead of using dairy, switch it out with plant-based milk
Don’t feel like you have to plan 7 days of meals right away. Start small with 2 or 3 meals.
Theme your meals: Taco Tuesday, Pasta on Thursdays, Leftovers on Mondays, Eat Out on the weekends
Plan for leftovers, so you don’t spend a lot of thinking about what’s for dinner.
Always have easy snacks like fresh fruit, carrots & hummus, nuts available.
Plan ahead for busy times. Look for vegan options near you and always add convenient options to your meal plan like veggie burgers, potatoes and frozen vegetables in your freezer.
Consider a meal delivery service kit like Purple Carrot or Green Chef. They do the planning and grocery shopping for you.
Be open to experiment - Add a new ingredient, produce, etc. to your grocery list. Be okay with failing in the kitchen.
If you’re not much of a cook right now, the only way to get better is by DOING.
