Plants and plant-based foods such as vegetables, grains, nuts, and fruits make up a vegan diet. Vegans strictly avoid foods derived from animals, such as dairy products and eggs. A variety of health benefits have been linked with vegan diets, including weight loss and protection from certain chronic diseases.
Finding healthy and balanced vegan meals that provide a complete nutritional equilibrium can be difficult. If not properly planned, vegan diets can lead to nutritional deficiencies and other health problems. You can make easy vegan recipes with just a few ingredients and simple steps.
This article will present an easy 7-day vegan meal plan. In this diet plan, we have focused on whole-food vegan ingredients such as beans, nuts, and quinoa while limiting processed meat substitutes to keep healthy and delicious.
Why Follow a Vegan-diet?
The vegan diet eliminates all animal products, including meat, eggs, dairy, fish, and seafood. It also removes foods like honey, whey, butter, and yogurt. However, vegans can vary in how strict they are with their diet.
Some people may choose to go vegan to reduce their environmental footprint. Plant-based diets produce fewer greenhouse gases and require fewer natural resources. However, any diet’s environmental impact is dependent on many factors, such as how foods are made, packed, and transported.
Vegan diets can improve heart health, weight loss, and control blood sugar. Research suggests that eating seven portions of fresh fruits and vegetables in a day may lower your risk of dying from cancer by up to 15%.
Similarly, consuming legumes may reduce your chance of developing colorectal cancer by between 9-18%.
Before getting deep into the vegan meal plan, let us have a look at the list of foods you can eat on a vegan diet and some delicious recipes you can add to your meal plan.

4. Anti-inflammatory Lettuce Wraps
Food can either prevent inflammation or increase inflammation. Studies show that antioxidants are a great way to protect your body from inflammation. Antioxidants and foods that are anti-inflammatory are almost the same things.
Oxidation is a process that causes damage and harm to certain molecules within the body. Antioxidants are used to prevent inflammation by fighting against oxidation. Antioxidants are readily available in food. They are found in various foods such as fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, and healthy fats.
This simple recipe helps with inflammation and is best for people with acute or chronic inflammation, such as vegan or non-vegan athletes, bodybuilders, or gym enthusiasts.

It’s loaded with vegetables, fiber, protein, and also probiotics due to the yogurt sauce. However, you can omit the yogurt, if you need to follow a strict vegan diet can use other alternatives like hummus or potato sauce.

Enjoy!
6. Avocado Quinoa Salad
Quinoa is a favorite superfood. Combined with vegetables, it creates a nutritious, well-rounded meal. Quinoa Salad has a light, fresh, tangy, filling, rich in texture, and is a great choice for a quick lunch. The dressing adds the perfect finishing touch to the delicious quinoa salad.
Ingredients
For Salad
- 1 cup (186g), uncooked white Quinoa
- 1-1/2 cups (8 oz. 225g) fresh cherry tomato puree, halved (or quadrupled if large).
- 1-1/2 cups (207g), English or Persian cucumber cut into half-moon
- 1 cup (32g), red onion finely chopped
- 7-1/2 cups fresh baby spinach (5 oz;150g), lightly packed and chopped
- 2 large, ripe avocados. Pit removed and chopped.
- 1/3 cup (15g), fresh cilantro or flat-leaf Italian parsley, optional (about 1/3 of the whole bunch).
- 1/3 cup (45g), Feta Cheese, optional.
Dressing
- 4 tablespoons (63g), red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons (32g), Dijon mustard. Do not use regular mustard.
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup (00g) olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (20g), honey
- 3 tablespoons (45g), freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 big lemon).
- Fine sea salt and pepper
Directions
Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove bitter saponin. Mix the quinoa with 2 cups of water in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring it to boil. Add 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt to the pot. Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until all of the liquid has been absorbed. Let the quinoa cool on low heat.
Cover it with a towel and let it stand for about 10-15 minutes. Use a fork to mix the quinoa and then place it in the freezer or fridge to cool to room temp. Quinoa can also be prepared up to 3-4 days ahead.
Prepare the Dressing: In the meantime, prepare the dressing. Mix all ingredients in a large-mouth jar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Use 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup pepper. Mix well and shake vigorously to combine. While you prepare the vegetables, store them in the refrigerator.
Veggie Prep: Halve or quarter cherry tomatoes. Chop the cucumber(s) (peel if you wish; we leave the peel on), chop a quarter of an onion, roughly chop baby spinach and remove the pits. If desired, finely chop the cilantro and parsley.
Assembling: Combine the chopped spinach with the quinoa in a large bowl. Mix well. Mix in the cucumber, onion, avocado, and fresh herbs. Shake the dressing well in a container. Toss everything to coat with the dressing. If desired, add feta cheese. Serve immediately and use. Not recommended to store after dressing.
7. Vegan Quesadillas
These vegan quesadillas are small but equally very filling. They are delicious topped with vegan cheese and guacamole. Avocado isn’t something you would like to heat up. I can bet that you would put avocado on a vegan pizza after the pizza is cooked.
However, this is not an issue with a vegan quesadilla. The inside of the quesadilla is cooked, but the outside is warm. The vegan cheese melts a bit, which helps seal the quesadilla. But what’s actually cooking is the tortilla. Everything else is being warmed up and melted. This recipe makes 8 servings.
Ingredients
Black Bean and Corn Mix
- 1/2 Medium Onion White or Yellow, Chopped
- 1/2 tsp crushed garlic
- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 15 ounce (425g) Canned Black Beans Drained
- Sea Salt and Black Pepper for taste
Guacamole
- 2 Medium Avocados
- 1/2 small Fresh Lime Squeezed
- Sea Salt and Black Pepper for a Taste
For Assembling
- 1 to 1/4 cups grated vegan cheese
- 8 Tortillas, wheat or corn
Directions
- Make your black bean and corn mixture: In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil and add the chopped onion. Stir in the cumin and cayenne pepper, and cook until the onions become soft. Stir in the black beans, corn, and cook until well combined with the spices. Sea salt and black pepper can be added to taste. Set aside.
Make your guacamole: Mash the avocados and add the lime juice. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Slice the vegan cheese and set it aside.
- Place 1 tortilla in a frying pan. Turn it over and toast it a bit on one side until it is lightly browned. Spread some black bean and corn mixture on one side of the tortilla. Top it with some guacamole, and finally, some vegan cheese.
- To close the tortilla, fold it over. Use a spatula to press the tortilla down so that it sticks to your hands. Cook for a few minutes, then flip and cook for another couple of minutes so that both sides are well browned and toasted.
- Take the tortilla out of the pan and continue to cook until you have 8 tortillas done.
- Each quesadilla should be cut in half or into quarters, depending on your preference.
8. Tomato, Basil, Chickpea Salad
