Big Apple Plant-Based Meal Plan

Transport yourself to New York for some big city favorites with our plant based meal plan, Big Apple! Grab a slice, stop at the deli, head to the bagel shop, and chow down on pushcart dogs, all from the comfort of home.

What’s on the gourmet menu this week

Start your week off right with Empire State Pizza Margherita and Veggie Chickpea Salad. Naples-style pizza pies feature rich marinara sauce, smoky mozzarella cheesy sauce, and fresh basil on crisp pita bread crust. These delights are perfectly complemented by a fresh cucumber, tomato, and avocado salad.

Next up are Big City Bagels, Lox & Schmear Brunch Spread with Orange Wedges. Bagels are topped with sun-dried tomato cashew spread, smoky carrot “lox,” pickled red onion, and other fresh yums. They’re a colorful and fun way to enjoy this tasty New York classic with a plant based spin!

Perfectly seasoned Manhattan “Glam” Chowder with protein-rich chickpeas is served with a simple mixed greens side salad for a light but satisfying mid-week meal. 

Take a walk with our Central Park Pushcart Dogs with Onions in Sauce. These delicious Dirty Girl carrot dogs are topped with a slightly sweet, tangy, and tomatoey New York-style onion sauce, brown mustard, and sauerkraut. You never knew carrots could be so good.

Finally, wrap up your big city tour with New York Deli White Bean Tuna Salad Bowl with Pickled Red Onion. Deli-style white bean “tuna” is served on a bed of greens with tangy pickled red onion and a variety of veggies.
