The benefits of meal planning and prepping for a vegan diet

For die hard meat eaters, it can seem daunting to ditch their usual diet to take on one that’s plant based.

One of the things that can make the transition to a vegan diet ten times easier, is by creating a meal plan, and where you can, finding time for meal prep.

Vegan meal plans and prep can make a huge difference to your dietary goals and help you to stay on track.

They save you time and help you stay on track

Planning ahead means no last minute trips to the supermarket. It also means that when you’re grocery shopping, there’s no time spent aimlessly traipsing around the aisles attempting to come up with vegan recipes on the spot. You’ll be armed with a fool-proof vegan shopping list that you can also re-use for your future meal plans!

They save you money and reduce food waste

Meal planning means you can be super organised for your weekly food shop, allowing you to go in and get only exactly what you need for the week ahead, helping you to keep your shopping list shorter, costs lower, and to eliminate unnecessary food waste.

They help with portion control and healthy eating

Prepping food in advance helps you to manage your portions better, and allows you to make sure you’re getting the perfect amount of protein, carbs, fruits, and vegetables in every meal. If wanted, it is also a great way of easily keeping track of calories and macros.

It’s also ideal when it comes to a vegan diet, or any other for that matter, as you can make sure you’re receiving all the necessary vitamins and nutrients for a balanced healthy diet.
