Never Wonder What’s for Dinner Again

Our meal plans are now more flexible than ever and can easily accommodate households of all sizes. The website allows you to scale recipes up or down, so whether you’re cooking for yourself, a couple, a family, or a larger household, we’ve got you covered.

Each week’s default plan includes three dinner recipes that originally serve four generous portions. Our side salads often stretch the meals further—usually pairing with two, sometimes all three, of the dinners.

For smaller households:

If you’re cooking for one or two, you can scale recipes down or enjoy the bonus of tasty leftovers for lunches or quick dinners later in the week. Want even more control? Edit the meal plan to remove a meal or two from your week.

For larger households:

Cooking for a group? Simply scale up the recipes right in the meal planner—no extra math needed. Everyone gets a full portion, and the meal plan adjusts your grocery list automatically.

For any household:

You can add or remove meals from your weekly plan, making it easier to match your appetite and lifestyle. Whether you want multiple meals a day or just a couple dinners to anchor your week, you’ll have full control.

Plus, many recipes are marked as “freezer-friendly” so you can cook once and save some for busy days ahead!

Ultimately, this calculation is up to you, but I wanted to share the three reasons I believe the value far outstrips the cost.

First, your quality of life gets better. Take a moment to read the testimonials dotted throughout this page. Over and over, you’ll see the same thing: meal plan users are eating more nourishing meals, they’re getting dinner on the table faster, and they’re excited about cooking.

Second, you will almost certainly save money. If you order takeout just one fewer time per month as a result of the meal plans, you’ve already made back the price of the service and then some. If you order takeout two or three fewer times per month, you’ve made an incredible return on your investment.

Finally, it would be extremely challenging for most home cooks to do this style of meal planning on their own. For most weeks of the meal plan, I had to develop new recipes to complement my existing ones. I needed to ensure that the meals had overlapping ingredients and shared components; without them, you wouldn’t actually save any time when it comes to your weeknight meals.

Only you can determine if this aligns with your needs and goals, but we’re confident that for many folks, our meal plans will be a game-changer.

Some fan-favorite meals appear in more than one meal plan, but you’ll never see the same combination of weekly meals repeated within a given year if you follow the official plan each week. And in addition to the library of 70+ existing meal plans you’ll have access to when you become a paying subscriber, we release new meal plans and recipes every month.

Regular Meal Plans: If you complete the meal prep steps in advance, then most meals come together in 30 to 45 minutes. Each meal plan also features handy shortcuts that can cut down on prep time even further.

Easy Weeknight Meal Plans: With no meal prep and simpler steps, these special meal plans feature dinner recipes that come together in 30 minutes or less. Perfect for busy weeks!

For all recipes, we include the estimated active and inactive cooking time so you can plan accordingly. Of course, cooking times will vary from home cook to home cook, depending on your experience level. But, the more you cook and the better prepared your pantry is, the quicker you’ll become!

While eating more plant-based meals can lead to awesome long-term health benefits (hello, energy boost!) ― these meal plans aren’t specifically designed for weight loss. Instead, we focus on crafting meals that are satisfying and won’t leave you wanting something more. Think dinners that are rich in nutrients and flavor.

Every meal plan I create has been designed to deliver satiating, plant-powered nourishment.

But for those looking to pump up their protein even more, I also developed a special collection of High Protein Meal Plans that provide 30+ grams of protein per dinner. Once your paid subscription is active, you’ll be able to access these special plans along with all the others. Getting swole just got easier!

While the official recipes we highlight each week will map to the seasons of the Northern Hemisphere, you can absolutely use the meal plans no matter where you are. Paid subscribers can browse our complete library of 70+ meal plans anytime and easily filter to find meal plans for any season!

Yes! Each meal plan recipe comes with gluten-free and nut-free substitutions so you can safely enjoy each meal without compromising on flavor. Plus, with The Complete Guide to Substitutions (a bonus guide you get for free when you become a subscriber!), you’ll find easy alternatives for allergens, as well as unavailable ingredients and flavor preferences.

Please note that we are not able to provide substitutions for soy allergies or sesame allergies at this time. Also note that if you opt to customize our meal plans and add recipes from my blog, those recipes may not all feature gluten-free and nut-free substitutions.

I try to stick to ingredients that are available at well-stocked grocery stores in the meal plans. If you’re familiar with vegan cooking, very few, if any, of the ingredients will be “new” to you.

Occasionally, when I make a recipe from a different culture, I will include a specialty ingredient or three if it’s worth it (similar to the recipes I share on my website and YouTube channel). The meal plan will contain instructions on where you can find these ingredients (both at local stores or online) as well as substitutions if you can’t find them.

There are some fan-favorite recipes from my blog in the meal plans, and you can add more recipes from my blog to your meal plans if you choose. But the majority of the meal plans feature exclusive creations you won’t find anywhere else – including my blog, YouTube channel, and cookbooks. Your paid subscription includes access to 270+ exclusive recipes like high-protein meals, easy weeknight dinners, and my go-to breakfast recipes.

I specially crafted these recipes for the meal plans in order to give you a unique and diverse cooking experience while keeping things efficient in the kitchen.

Once you sign up for the service, you’ll gain access to our online meal plans portal at plans.rainbowplantlife.com. From there, you can access our meal plans and recipes from any smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Prefer printed plans? We’ve got you covered! Our weekly email will include a PDF of the meal plan of the week. Plus, all the recipes and meal plans on the site can be printed out or downloaded as PDFs at the click of a button. You can even customize what gets included in your download so that you can save paper and ink 🙂

100%. Use the handy download or print features to save each week’s meal plan so that you have an arsenal of delicious recipes to pull from when you’re craving something different or want to impress your dinner guests. You can download one meal plan (including any of your customizations!) each week throughout your subscription. We recommend saving any downloads you would like to keep, as you won’t be able to re-download old meal plans from the site if you let your subscription expire.

You can cancel your subscription or pause future payments at any time. Simply visit the settings page in your account and open the subscription tab; from there, you’ll be able to manage your subscription. Need help? You can always email us at mealplans@rainbowplantlife.com and my team will be happy to help.

If you sign up for a quarterly subscription and then cancel, your subscription simply won’t renew after the 3 months have elapsed (though, of course, you’ll still have access to your subscription during that period). If you sign up for an annual subscription, same thing except your subscription won’t renew after the 12 months have elapsed.

Given the digital format of these meal plans and the bonus of keeping all the meal plans that you download ― refunds aren’t available.

However, you can try out the service risk-free by signing up for our 7-day free trial. We’ll even remind you a few days before your trial ends.

I’m all ears! Just email us at mealplans@rainbowplantlife.com.
