Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

5 Ingredient Black Bean Soup // 5 ingredients are 15 minutes are all that's required to make this healthy and meal-worthy vegan soup!

Tips for This Week's Vegan Meal Plan

• If you have leftover cilantro after making Monday's Indian chickpeas & potatoes, use it to garnish Thursday's soup. And if you have leftover basil after making Tuesday's pasta, use it to garnish Wednesday's Thai stuffed peppers.
• Add a baguette to the shopping list if you'd like -- it will go nicely with the spaghetti all'arrabbiata and the black bean soup.
• Be sure the red curry past you buy for the Thai stuffed peppers is vegan -- some brands contain shrimp paste.
• You'll probably have some leftover tomato paste from Monday's Indian chickpeas & potatoes. Seal it up and freeze it for later use.
• The Thai stuffed peppers recipe is the only one that calls for safflower seed oil, so we left it off the list. Use whatever oil you've got on hand.
• Friday's pizza is topped with homemade pesto hummus, but you can swap it out with your favorite store-bought hummus if you'd like.
