Classic Summer | Plant-Based Meal Plan
By Team Dirty
Jun 27, 2025
Summer is all about good times, backyard hangs, and food that makes you want to kick off your shoes and stay a while. That’s exactly the vibe behind our Classic Summer plant-based meal plan. We took the best flavors of the season and gave them a fresh, fun twist—so you can soak up the sun with meals as exciting as your summer plans.
Each Clean Food Dirty Girl whole-food plant-based meal plan contains
- A detailed grocery list. An interactive list broken down by department, so no more aimless wandering through the grocery store.
- An optional prep list. This step-by-step list guides you through pre-cooking tasks, meaning less chaos in the kitchen and more confidence.
- Batching directions. Our easy-to-follow batching instructions will help you efficiently prepare your meals’ base components, meaning the bulk of the cooking for the week is done.
- Meal night directions. Simple instructions ensure every dish is plated to perfection, ready to tantalize your taste buds.
Gourmet Plant-Based Meal Plan
Start things off with the Diner-style Chili Dog and Strawberry Shake. This combo brings the nostalgia of a roadside pit stop, but with a plant-based spin that’ll have you grinning from ear to ear. The chili dog is saucy, messy, and totally satisfying, while the strawberry shake is creamy and cool—basically, summer in a glass. A perfect combination.

Our Sweet & Tangy Baked Beans and Potato Macaroni Salad is picnic perfection. The beans are sticky and just the right amount of sweet, and the Potato Macaroni Salad is a mashup you never knew you needed. Think classic comfort with a zing.
“This is the closest thing to my favorite non-vegan baked bean recipe, and it’s a winner!”

For something a little lighter but still packed with flavor, the Cheesy Grilled Mushroom Lettuce Wraps are a total game changer. Smoky mushrooms, melty plant-based cheese, and crisp lettuce make every bite an adventure. They’re perfect for those days when you want something fresh but still crave that grilled goodness.
The Summer Garden Big Ass Salad is a celebration of everything great about the season. It’s loaded with crunchy veggies, juicy tomatoes, and a punchy dressing that ties it all together. This is the kind of salad that actually gets you excited to eat your greens.
And finally, the Big Mac “Steak” Burger and Corn on the Cob brings the cookout energy straight to your kitchen. This saucy burger is stacked high, and the corn is sweet and just begging to be eaten with your hands. It’s the ultimate summer meal.
“I have enjoyed all the meal plans and recipes I have tried. The website is beautiful and the easiest and most fun to use of any similar one I have tried.”
