5 nights worth of vegan dinners to help inspire your menu. Choose one recipe to add to your rotation or make them all - shopping list included.
This Savory Vegan is getting ready to turn 1 year old in October (can you believe it???).
Over the last year I have shared over 125 (and counting) extremely savory & delicious vegan recipes with you. And your response to these recipes has put me over the moon! I am constantly amazed and flattered by the positive response I hear from all of you!
Whether you are a seasoned vegan, a new vegan, or just experimenting with plant-based food, I really try to create food that will make everyone excited to eat less meat and dairy. And no matter where you fall on the vegan scale, you are always welcome at TSV!
With all of that said, I want to dive into a new chapter here at TSV that aims to get you even more excited about vegan food.
So...welcome to my first EVER Weekly Vegan Dinner Plan!
The point of these weekly dinner plans is to provide you with a compilation of 5 dinner recipes to use throughout the week.
NOTE: feel free to add additional side dishes to them as you see fit!
Each week's plan will include a printable grocery list that will have everything you need. Print it and head to the store. Saves you time from having to jump from recipe to recipe figuring out what you need.
I will have everything broken down into 4 categories:
- Pantry Staples
- Dry Goods
- Produce
- Refrigerator/Freezer
You will probably have most of the pantry staples on hand already, but just in case you are low on something it is there as a reminder.
Now, what if you only want to include one of the week's recipes in your dinner rotation?
That's cool too.
You'll want to disregard the grocery list and just use the link to that specific recipe.
Meal plans will go live on the blog every Sunday morning.
If you're making all 5 recipes be sure to print the grocery list at the bottom of the page.

MONDAY
These Black Bean Green Chili Enchiladas with Jalapeño Cream Sauce are one of my most popular recipes of all time - and for good reason. They are a total crowd pleaser. Like meal prepping? Make these ahead of time and freeze. Perfect for a busy Monday!
TUESDAY
This Sweet Potato Noodle Salad with Peanut Dressing might be healthy but it is also super filling!
WEDNESDAY
This Soba Noodle Salad with Peanut Dressing is one of my favorite mid-week dinners. It comes together quickly and requires more chopping than actual cooking.
THURSDAY
Another quick meal - this Creamy Vegan Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Gnocchi takes just 20 minutes and is packed full of all kinds of tasty flavor!
FRIDAY
And on Friday's you must eat pizza - it is a TSV rule! If you are looking for something on the spicy side, this Vegan Potato Habanero White Pizza is going to be right up your alley!
Now that you know what we're making this week, let's talk ingredients.

I'm so excited to see a vegan weekly meal plan WITH SHOPPING LIST! This is awesome and I can't wait to try them. One problem, I wanted to start on Week #1, but the shopping list on that page says it's for Week #26. Here's the link I am using: https://www.thissavoryvegan.com/weekly-vegan-menu-plan-1/
Thanks for clarifying -- I'm jonesing for those green enchiladas.
Rene
Just ignore the title - the shopping list is correct 🙂
Meredith
Your vegan dinner plans (particularly the shopping lists), how many people are they allotted to feed? I want to know if I need to adjust quantities. Thank you!
Rene
2-4 depending on the recipe.

Is any of it really hot with the peppers in it?
