May 9, 2025
If you’ve ever wondered what a week of meals looks like through the taste buds of Molly Patrick (our fearless co-founder), wonder no more. Molly Must Haves is a flavor-packed plant-based meal plan inspired by the go-to dishes Molly keeps coming back to. This isn’t just a random collection of planty goodness—it’s a handpicked lineup of meals that check every box: satisfying, packed with personality, and delicious enough to make you come back for seconds (or thirds—we don’t judge).
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
Things kick off with a warm bowl of Creamy Red Lentil Soup paired with simple Steamed Broccoli & Cauliflower. It’s the kind of cozy combo that feels like a hug in meal form. The soup is smooth, rich, and surprisingly filling, doing the heavy lifting, while the broccoli and cauliflower bring a no-fuss, just-right crunch that balances the whole thing out.
“Very flavorful and so similar to the lentil soup I get from a local Mediterranean place.”
Elaine Ebeling, Meal Plan Club member
Next up is our Beefed Up Banh Mi and Mango Cubes. This sandwich is stacked with bold layers, tangy pickled veggies, hearty soy curls that mean business, and just the right kick. The mango on the side isn’t just there to look pretty—it’s a juicy, sweet contrast that makes the whole meal sing.
“OH MY. PLEASE MAKE THIS. This is one of the tastiest sandwiches I’ve ever had! These soy curls are so amazing.”

“Would definitely make this again. The entire family loved it.”

Then there’s Nonna’s Italian Pasta Salad. This one’s a classic. It’s twirly, twangy, and tossed with just the right mix of fresh herbs, briny bits, and that satisfying oomph that keeps you going back in for another forkful. It tastes like someone’s Italian grandma spent the afternoon cooking for you.
“So delicious and easy! My husband, of Italian descent, said it should be titled “Better than Nonna’s Pasta salad! I give it 100 stars!“
Susan, Meal Plan Club member
When you’re in the mood for something saucy (and who isn’t?), the Saucy White Jackfruit Enchiladas come through big time. Creamy, tangy, baked until bubbly—these enchiladas are the kind of thing you make once and immediately start planning when you can have them again. They’re a Molly (and member) favorite for a reason.
“So so good! One of our absolute favorites. Might be on the weekly rotation if not monthly!“
Shannon, Meal Plan Club member
“Super delish! I would feed this to omni guests. Cheezy, spicy, comfort food!“
Elke, Meal Plan Club member
And then there’s the Picnic Lettuce Wraps and Classic Potato Salad. These wraps are crisp, fresh, and ready to be stuffed with all the good stuff. Paired with a longtime beloved potato salad that’s creamy in all the right ways (without the dairy, of course), it’s like taking your taste buds on a backyard getaway—no blanket required.
