The Vegan Fitness 7 Day Meal Plan
Including 21 recipes and shopping list
H
i, we’re Darren & Georgie, and we used to be incredibly unhealthy, but
in 2012 we learned about the way animals are used in our society and
decided to become vegan.
We believe that eating whole plant foods is the future because it is the only
sustainable diet for the planet and it also leaves us feeling light and full of
energy, while simultaneously keeping us lean and strong.

The meal plan is based on all of our principles of compassionate healthy living,
with a focus on plantbased wholefoods, which nourish, support and heal the
mind and body from the inside out.
We are regular people with a family and time commitments, so all of the meals
can be ready in less than 15 minutes and all of the recipes contain easy-to-
source and inexpensive ingredients.

Each recipe includes the macros and calories, but feel free to adjust the portion
sizes to suit your goals. All of the dinners are for two people, but if you’re
cooking for one, freeze the other half so that you have handy ‘ready-meals’ for
the following week.
You will notice that the meal plan doesn’t include snacks, just three large meals.
This is because we believe in the health-promoting benets of leaving gaps
between meals to give the body a break from digesting foods.
Without a doubt, you are sure to feel and look amazing by rewarding your body
with these foods!
We hope that you enjoy the 7 day meal plan and making all of our family-favourite
meals. Make sure to tag us in your food pics so we can follow along on your
journey!
