Serving Sizes
The serving amounts vary for these recipes. Instead of assuming your family size, if you are cooking for 1 or 6, I am leaving that up to you!
To adjust serving sizes, go to each recipe post -> click jump to recipe -> type in the serving amount. See the image below for a visual representation. Make sure to then adjust the amounts of ingredients on the grocery list.

Prepping Ahead
My favorite way to prep meals is by chopping veggies and making the sauces ahead of time. That way, when it’s time to eat, I can just throw everything together and cook it.
Store prepped (washed, chopped, sliced, etc) ingredients in the fridge in an airtight container. I love Snapware containers because they are glass, BPA-free, dishwasher safe, and the lids are super secure. For sandwiches and smaller items, I like these reusable Stasher bags.

Nutrition Info
I did not include calories per day or other nutrition info in this vegan meal plan, as this will greatly vary based on your portion sizes and substitutions made, or additional food consumed. Your calorie and nutrition requirements are personal and unique based on numerous factors. I recommend using a tracker like Cronometer if you want to have an idea of the nutrition you are getting for each day.
