Grateful | Plant-Based Holiday Menu

Ready to gobble up some plant-based holiday goodness? Grateful, our plant-based meal plan is your one-stop shop for a Thanksgiving feast that’s equal parts nostalgic and creative. Packed with classic flavors and modern twists, this menu makes it easy to mix and match dishes to suit your table—whether you’re hosting a big family gathering or keeping it cozy. Follow the meal plan as laid out, or channel your inner chef and create your own holiday spread using the Magic Meal Planner. Either way, this plan will have you feeling thankful and stuffed with joy.

Heads up that the Gourmet plan is a longer batch, with ten items on the list. The meals are incredibly flavorful and delicious if you have the time, but if not, the Simple plan is a tasty and faster option.

Gourmet Plant-Based Meal Plan

Start your feast with the Avocado Toast Benny. It’s topped with a velvety Holiday Hollandaise Sauce that will make your taste buds do a happy dance. It’s paired with a Cranberry Waldorf Salad for a festive crunch and burst of tart-sweet flavor. This holiday take on a brunch classic is delicious any time of day.

We’re channeling Italy with our Eggplant Cacciatore over Garlicky Mashed Potatoes. The rich, savory sauce perfectly complements the creamy potatoes, making every bite feel like a warm hug. It’s hearty, satisfying, and full of those comforting flavors that we crave this time of year.

“This [Eggplant Cacciatore] recipe is so good. You won’t be disappointed.”

– Danielle, Meal Plan Club member

Speaking of cravings, if you’re craving a bowl of coziness, the Spiced Sweet Potato Chowder has you covered. This soup is a velvety blend of sweet, earthy spices, and it pairs like a dream with the Autumn Celebration Salad. Think crisp greens, toasty grains, and fresh fruit to balance the rich chowder—your bowl will be empty before you know it.

“Loved this. It was good reheated out of the freezer too! My 5-year-old granddaughter saw me eating this, took a bite of mine, and wanted her own bowl.”

– CW, Meal Plan Club member

The Crispy Herbed Cutlets are served with all the trimmings. Mashed Potatoes, Sage Gravy, Wild Rice Stuffing, and Orange Rosemary Cranberry Sauce all shine in this traditional style meal. It’s the ultimate Thanksgiving plate, full of flavor, texture, and love. 

“The tofu cutlets are amazeballs.”

– Margi, Meal Plan Club member

Add a fresh twist to your table with the Maple Sage Brussels & Festive Wild Rice Harvest Bowl with Cran-Apple Vinaigrette. This bowl is packed with roasted Brussels sprouts, vibrant wild rice, and a tangy, lightly sweet dressing that ties it all together beautifully.

And don’t forget dessert! The bonus Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Lemon Cashew Cream is the perfect finale, offering warm spices, a gooey texture, and a zingy lemony finish that keeps it all balanced. It’s the sweet farewell to your Thanksgiving feast.
