Created in partnership with an Accredited Sports Nutritionist, these plans are nutritionally balanced, packed with flavour, and designed with real life in mind.

1 The Strength Meal Plan: For Building Muscle & Gaining Energy

If your goals involve hitting the gym, lifting weights, or building lean muscle, the Strength Meal Plan is your perfect match. It focuses on high-protein, nutrient-dense plant foods that fuel your training and speed up muscle recovery.

• The Blueprint: Hits an impressive average of 170g of protein and 2,440 calories a day.
• A sample day of the meal plan looks like: You’ll kick off the morning with a hearty Berry Protein Porridge, power through lunch with a Singapore Noodle Stir-fry with Veggies & Tempeh, enjoy a savoury Teriyaki Tofu Power Bowl for dinner, and snack on Homemade Hummus with Wholemeal Pita.

2 The Endurance Meal Plan: For Stamina & Sustained Power

Are you a runner, cyclist, swimmer, or someone who trains at least five days a week? The Endurance Meal Plan is crafted to optimise your stamina, replenish glycogen stores, and keep your energy levels steady throughout the longest workouts.

• The Blueprint: Focuses on complex carbohydrates, averaging 285g of carbs, 108g of protein, and just over 2,200 calories daily.
• A sample day of the meal plan looks like: Fuel your morning with Maple Cinnamon and Mango Porridge, stay sharp with a Sweet Potato, Kale & Chickpea Salad with Quinoa for lunch, and recover at dinner with a comforting bowl of Red Lentil Curry with Broccoli & Rice.

3 The Wellbeing Meal Plan: For Vitality & Wholesome Health

If your focus is on overall health, steady daily energy, or gentle fat loss in a sustainable, nourishing way, the Wellbeing Meal Plan will make your body sing. It focuses on vibrant, whole foods that keep you feeling light yet completely satisfied.

• The Blueprint: Perfectly balanced with lower carbohydrates and fats, averaging 130g of protein and 1,570 calories a day.
• A sample day of the meal plan looks like: Enjoy a savoury Scrambled Tofu on Toasted Dark Rye for breakfast, a vibrant Pumpkin Burrito Bowl with Salsa Verde for lunch, and a comforting Stuffed Eggplant Boats for dinner.

Tips for a Budget-Friendly Meal Plan

While the lifestyle plans above offer unique variety every day, you might prefer a more budget-friendly approach. Eating plant-based is naturally one of the most affordable ways to live when relying on whole-food ingredients, but you can save even more time and money by mastering batch cooking.

The concept is incredibly easy:

★ Set aside time during the week to do your batch cooking. Most people usually find they have more time on the weekend to do meal prep.

★ Prep ingredients and cook a large portion of two or three of your favourite nourishing recipes.

★ Store portions in the fridge or freeze. Eat a serving for dinner, pack the second half for lunch the following day, and repeat as you please.

To design your own budget-friendly weekly meal plan, look for these batch-cooking staples in our recipe library:

• Hearty Lentil Bolognese or Chilis: Brown and red lentils are incredibly affordable, shelf-stable, and packed with fibre and protein. Cooking a massive pot of chili or bolognese sauce and pasta provides meals for days.
• Big Batch Chickpea or Vegetable Curries: Utilising canned or dried chickpeas with frozen vegetables and a can of coconut milk or a tomato base creates a rich, comforting meal that actually tastes better the next day as the spices marinate together.
• Tofu Dishes with Veggies: Tofu is a highly affordable protein source. Slice up a couple of blocks, marinate then toss them with seasonal vegetables, bake them all on a massive tray, and distribute them into lunch containers with a simple homemade peanut or soy-teriyaki dressing.
• Grain-Based Meals and Salads: Cook a large batch of grains at the beginning of the week. Could be quinoa, brown rice, millet or a mix. Toss with black beans, corn, diced cucumber, your favourite dressing, and a squeeze of lime for a budget-friendly burrito bowl base that holds up beautifully in the fridge.
