In this episode, I share practical tips on how to start meal planning as a a new vegan.

• Think about what you’re already eating and make a vegan version of those meals Example: Smoothie - instead of using dairy, switch it out with plant-based milk
• Don’t feel like you have to plan 7 days of meals right away. Start small with 2 or 3 meals.
• Theme your meals: Taco Tuesday, Pasta on Thursdays, Leftovers on Mondays, Eat Out on the weekends
• Plan for leftovers, so you don’t spend a lot of thinking about what’s for dinner.
• Always have easy snacks like fresh fruit, carrots & hummus, nuts available.
• Plan ahead for busy times. Look for vegan options near you and always add convenient options to your meal plan like veggie burgers, potatoes and frozen vegetables in your freezer. 
• Consider a meal delivery service kit like Purple Carrot or Green Chef. They do the planning and grocery shopping for you.
• Be open to experiment - Add a new ingredient, produce, etc. to your grocery list. Be okay with failing in the kitchen. 
• If you’re not much of a cook right now, the only way to get better is by DOING.
