Sweet September | Healthy Plant-Based Fall Meal Plan

As the days get a little shorter and the air starts to carry that first hint of crispness, it’s the perfect time to embrace the flavors that bridge the gap between summer and fall. Sweet September, our healthy plant-based fall meal plan, is designed to celebrate the delicious transition, from the last bright bites of summer produce to the comforting warmth of early autumn ingredients.

First up, the Moroccan Butternut Squash Bowl with Creamy Lemon Sauce brings sunshine right to your plate. Butternut squash, with its natural sweetness, pairs beautifully with warm spices and a bright lemon sauce to make every bite shine. It’s a hearty dish that feels just right as the evenings start to cool down.

“I thought this would be more spicy, but it wasn’t. I used up frozen cubed squash, and it was delicious. Love the sauce!”

For something light and refreshing, try the Navy Bean and Pineapple Salsa Stuffed Lettuce Wraps. The creamy seasoned beans and herby pineapple salsa are tucked into crisp lettuce, making this a perfect late-summer meal with a little tropical flair. It’s vibrant, fresh, and a great way to hold onto those summer vibes a bit longer.

“Absolutely amazing, flavorful and light!”

Then, there’s the Corn and Artichoke Cakes with Lemon Sauce & Dilly Green Beans. These cakes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with the sweetness of corn and the subtle earthiness of artichokes. Paired with flavorful green beans and a drizzle of lemon sauce, they make for a satisfying meal that’s both light and filling.

Next, the Broccoli-Pineapple Stir Fry over Barley offers a unique twist on a classic stir fry. The juicy pineapple and tender-crisp broccoli create a dynamic duo, with barley providing a hearty, slightly nutty base that’s perfect for those days when you need something a little more satisfying.

And finally, we never miss an opportunity for a big, hearty salad. The Big Ass Roasted Brussels and Apple Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette is everything you love about this time of year in a bowl. Roasted Brussels sprouts and sweet apples are tossed with a tangy vinaigrette over red leaf lettuce, making this salad the ultimate transition dish and just what you need as the leaves start to turn.

“We love this salad at our home, and the dressing is one of my favorites.”
