The 7 days Vegan Keto meal plans cater to busy individuals. Hence, the meal plans are carefully planned to cut down on the preparation time especially during the weekdays/weeknights. Simple preparation and cooking will be done during weeknights. During weeknights especially Monday – Thursday, after a long day at work, the priority is to have a nutritious meal ready in the shortest time possible. Extra cooking/baking and preparations are all done on Sunday. This is necessary to make life easier the following week (Monday – Saturday).

There is no right or wrong way to cook if the food tastes great and it is healthy at the same time.
