HEALTHY, DELICIOUS,  BUDGET-FRIENDLY MEALS

Eating healthfully doesn't need to be expensive. In fact, delicious plant-based meals that are packed with protein, fiber, disease-fighting nutrients, and lots of flavor can be super-affordable and easy to make. Let us show you how!

Start meal planning today with our easy-to-follow one-week meal plan that shows you how to eat healthy plant-based meals on a tight budget. 

How tight of a budget? Our plans show you how to hack the supermarket so that you can get all the food you'll want for an entire week for a grocery bill of only $25 (that's just $1.20 per meal).

Does spending as little as $3 a day on all your food sound too good to be true? Believe it. This meal plan has helped countless people save thousands of dollars a year, while also saving their health, the planet, and animals. Are you ready?

GET THE MEAL PLAN ($5)

"These meal plans have helped me out tremendously. After taking a pay cut to start my dream career, I’ve had to start budgeting better and only have $50 leftover per paycheck for food. I’m so glad I found your site and I greatly appreciate all the work you put into this."

- Lydia

"I was spending about $75 per week on groceries, and then eating out about 4 days out of the week too. It all came out to well over $100 a week. Now I spend $25-$30 per week. You’ve seriously saved me. Thank you so much."

- Sarah

WHAT COMES WITH THESE MEAL PLANS?

SHOPPING LIST

Each meal plan comes with a printer-friendly shopping list so you can go to the store once and have everything you need to fill your plate for the entire week. We've done the planning so you don't have to! 

RECIPES

Each meal plan includes the recipes you'll need to get you through the week. Each recipe is packed with nutrition, easy to make, and super delicious! 

7-DAY MEAL PLAN

Each meal plan comes with 7 days of meals for one person, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. These meal plans were crafted to be both filling and nutritious while keeping the grocery bill as low as possible ($25 per week). 

WILL THE FOOD BE BLAND AND BORING?

Heck no. These meal plans are filled with flavorful dishes that are designed to fill you up and leave you feeling satisfied and excited to keep going. The recipes within these plans also include suggestions for ways to mix it up with produce, spices, and other ingredients you may have on-hand.

DO I NEED TO FOLLOW THIS MEAL PLAN EXACTLY?

Nope! Food prices vary depending on where you live, so feel free to substitute the most affordable fruits, veggies, and grains that you can find in your area. These meal plans are built to be very flexible, and include many creative ideas for ingredient substitutions and add-ins. 

HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES THIS MEAL PLAN FEED?

This meal plan is designed to feed one person three meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) for seven days.

WHEN DO I START?

As soon as you’re ready! Pick a day to shop for everything you need for the week using the shopping list we provide, and then start the following day.

WILL THIS TAKE A LOT OF TIME?

Ask yourself, "Do I have more time or more money?" and plan your week accordingly. If you have more time, make your beans from scratch. If you have more money, save time by purchasing canned beans.

You can also save time by cutting all your veggies and cooking your beans and rice on your day off.  Then store them in the refrigerator for easy access throughout the week. Plus, we're saving you loads of time by doing much of the planning for you. 

CAN EVERYTHING BE MADE GLUTEN-FREE? 

Absolutely! Everything in this meal plan is made from scratch using basic ingredients, so you'll just make a few simple substitutions. For example, when you see pasta or cereal in a recipe, just make sure you get a gluten-free variety (like quinoa pasta or corn-based cereal). 

WHAT ABOUT SNACKS?

Our meal plan tribe kept asking for budget-friendly snack ideas, so we got to work and created this snacks cookbook with recipes to meet every craving in between meals. It's a companion guide to our meal plans, and you can find it here!

IS IT REALLY ONLY $5?

Yes! This meal plan is just a one-time charge of $5. When we put out a new meal plan, we'll shoot you an e-mail to let you know about it. If you're hungry for more, you can purchase it separately.

HELP—I CAN'T ACCESS MY MEAL PLAN!

Don't worry, you can log in any time here and access every single meal plan you've ever purchased with us. Cheers!
