Slimming Eats Vegetarian Weekly Meal Plan - Week 1

Since I started this meal plans last year, I've had a huge response to them and so many of your have been finding them useful.

I've been receiving quite a few requests for some Vegetarian ones, so of course I always listen to my readers and here is the first instalment of many to come.

The biggest response when I asked about bringing you weekly meal plans, was to include all meals i.e. Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner, but for those who just want a weekly lunch or dinner plan etc, then you can just ignore the rest.

The majority of my recipes serve 4 people (I am a family of 4 after all), so you may need to double up or half if you are serving more or less or why not tub up the leftovers and freeze, most are fine to freeze. Just ask if you are not sure 🙂 (I am gradually adding a freezer friendly note to all my recipes, but it will take me a while to work through them all.

If there is a meal below you perhaps don't fancy - you can browse all my Vegetarian Recipes and swap around any meals you want. Certain recipes I have spread over a few days, so if you want it to serve more, you may need to double up. If cooking just for one, then try freezing some of the leftovers, they will come in handy for another week. Just place in a freezable tub, and label with what it is and syn value.
