Today’s vegan summer meal plan is filled with seasonal plant based summer recipes like the tropical chia pudding, a light pasta caprese salad (no oil) for lunch, and more delicious flavorful vegan summer meals.

The meal plan serves around 1790 calories per day with 67 g protein. It serves one person for 6 days. You can use this summer meal plan for weight loss or increase serving sizes for weight maintenance or gain. If you change the meal to your desire, make sure to also change the shopping list.

You can find most of my recipes and more in this Meal Planner App. I like to use the program to organize my weekly meal plans and get new recipes each week. It helps me to reach my health and weight goals, generates a shopping list automatically, and with the variety of recipes I am never bored or have to worry about what to eat on the plant based diet. I highly recommend checking it out.
