Simplified // Happy Herbivore Meal Plans

Every week it is a battle to write our grocery list and meal plan. It's not because we are vegan, it's because we just simply hate doing it. Cody and I hate sitting down and writing the list and attempting to pick out meals that we haven't ate the previous week. It's a lot of, "Well, what do you want to eat?" and "I don't know, what do you want to eat?" This goes on back and forth for quite awhile before settling on seven days worth of meals.

One of the things I wanted to do this year was simplify my grocery shopping. Since I love Lindsay Nixon's recipes so much, I figured it would be a good thing to try out her 7-Day Meal Plans. We already eat a lot of her meals from her cookbooks anyways, but this saves us the hassle of trying to meal plan ourselves every week. It also keeps us from eating the same meals over and over. (Plus her food is super healthy!) I watched the below video, where Lindsay explains how her meal plans work, and I was sold!

I went ahead and bought a month worth of meal plans that way I can really try it out. We are currently also trying to cut our grocery costs down, so I am curious to see if this is going to help with that as well. I plan to post about our progress, so feel free to follow along.

I think one of the best things about this plan, is that you can cook all the meals in one day! It saves time and helps prepare you for the busy work week ahead. No more excuses not to eat healthy everyday. Cody has been working super long days and will now be able to pack all the food he needs because it's already cooked. Eating plant based vegan meals that are easy is possible. Lindsay has always been living proof of that and such a great inspiration to me. I can't wait to get started. I'm off to the grocery store today!
