What meal plan subscribers are saying

  • The best thing that happened to me last year was starting meal plans, it completely transformed the way I eat. Every dish was bursting with flavor and absolutely delicious. The attention to detail in every step of the process was truly exceptional, making the entire experience unforgettable. I enjoyed it so much that I can’t even choose a favorite meal, there were simply too many incredible dishes to pick from! Nisha is an absolute genius in the kitchen. I trust her wholeheartedly with any dish she creates, it’s truly out of this world!

    Hiranmayi Pechetti

  • I thought the meal plans would be a simple way to learn a few vegan recipes. I was wrong.

    I have learned more about cooking in the last year than I have in the last 10. The meal plans are clear, easy to follow, flexible, tasty and will introduce you to more spices and herbs than you thought possible. I cannot say enough good things about the meal plans!

    Allison De Paoli

  • I love these meal plans. Nisha has done all of thinking and planning for us, which makes cooking so much less overwhelming. I love how it includes the meal prep section, so I can prep as much as possible over the weekend and spend so much less time cooking during the week. I recommended the meal plans to my sister, and she loves them as well. Last but not least, the recipies are all as delicious as I have come to expect from Nisha. If you are on the fence about subscribing, I recommend you do it. The meal plans will make your life so much easier and your meals so much more delicious.

    Elizabeth Cruz

  • As someone transitioning to a plant-based diet, Nisha’s meal plans have been such an asset! Not only are the recipes delicious and healthy, but the deliberate way that she has grouped recipes together to streamline meal preparation and planning saves time, saves money and helps to reduce waste. The comprehensive meal plans have great photos of the recipes, a one-page shopping list and helpful suggestions on substitutions for extra-busy weeks. I really appreciate the depth of work that Nisha and her team have put into these meal plans and I intend to use them on repeat in the next year! I feel like she has also given me some skills in meal-planning with other recipes from her website and cookbooks, to look for ways that ingredients overlap, use seasonal produce, and compliment each other. Thank you!

    Kristin T

  • The Rainbow Plant Life meal plans have changed my life in so many ways. Eating delicious restaurant quality meals, exploring new ingredients, feeling healthier, saving money, being excited every week for new delicious recipes are some of the reasons why I am I am so grateful to Nisha and everyone at the RPL Team who has made the Meal Plan.
    Being able to turn out exceptional meals every week has been a true joy. Participating in the RPL meal plan has been a wonderful investment in my culinary experience.
    Nisha is truly a Foodie Rockstar!

    Annette Nyga

  • I love these meal plans! The shopping lists are fantastic. I find I already have most ingredients and can check them off before I shop. Then I purchase fresh vegetables and just a couple more things. Ingredients are used for multiple recipes so I’m not left with half-used components! The recipes turn out well–absolutely delicious. I live alone, but I make the full recipes and freeze portions for busier weeks. I love Rainbow Plant Life!

    Lynn Keasling

  • These meal plans are wonderful! You’ll find fabulous flavor and variety week after week. If you struggle to meal plan like I do, all that hard work has been done for you. The grocery lists, prep steps and recipes are in a beautiful and easy to follow format. You will need to set aside some time to shop, prep and cook … but you’ll be rewarded with delicious meals you’ll look forward to eating all week long.

    Rendina McFadden

  • I’ve been a subscriber of the Rainbow Plant Life meal plans from the beginning and I’m so glad I jumped on that opportunity. The plans are so extremely well thought out and put together impeccably! Most of all, meals in our house are next level! I shared leftovers with a girlfriend for lunch and she said, “this is leftovers at your house? Wow!” The surprise in your inbox every week is like the best Christmas and now I have an amazing collection of stunning recipes in such a thoughtful package. I thought I was a very good cook before, but I have learned so much about flavors, ingredients and techniques. It’s been a year long course in deliciousness!

    Julie Turner

  • RPL meal plans remove the hardest part about vegan cooking: planning what to make, and without getting into a rut. The ease of shopping with the grocery list provided really helps. The meals are varied and always delicious and balanced: Nisha really excels on flavor. They have honestly helped me to avoid eating out and have made it so much easier to cook at home, with results that are better and more interesting than what I can get at a restaurant. Every week I look forward to seeing the new menu, and I’m always amazed at how creative the plans are. Additionally, Nisha has written my favorite vegan cookbook.

    Angie Terek

  • I love, love, love this whole concept!! You make it so easy to wow my family with interesting, nutritional, vegan recipes that I have never found anywhere else. I waste less food, enjoy more variety, and find cooking more fun than ever before! I would recommend this plan for anyone looking to up their game in vegan cooking. I cook for two boys and cooking vegan for them has not always been easy. They have gotten to the point where they can tell if I’ve made a “Nisha” dinner or not. When I asked how they knew, they said, “We know it’s Nisha because it’s got flavor and it’s so good!”

    Cindy J Stewart

  • The RPL Meal Plan is a Game Changer! I seriously feel like I’ve gotten so much time back and no longer have to do my least favorite chore – picking out what to cook over the next week and making a grocery list. Now I just get an email with delicious vegan meals and a grocery list already planned out for me, making everything else a snap! Plus, my partner and I have gotten so much better at cooking since we’ve been using the meal plan, since now we cook a lot more than we used to. The meals have great variety and often utilize seasonal ingredients, so we never get bored.

    One of the coolest things about the plan is the “shared components”. Often there will be yummy sauces and toppings that are shared between the recipes, making prep even faster. Pro tip – never skip the toppings, they add incredible flavor and texture and hardly take any time at all to prepare!

    Karen

  • I have used these plans for almost a years now and have found them invaluable at helping to prepare nutritious, quick meals during the week. It’s also really helps with decision fatigue when figuring out meals to cook AND my meat eating husband has enjoyed them even if he has to add some chicken to it every now and again thanks so much! Can’t wait to keep cooking

    Laura Adkins

Hey, lovely! I’m Nisha.

You might know me from my cooking website or YouTube channel, Rainbow Plant Life, where I’ve helped over 1 million busy home cooks master vegan cooking.

In my conversations with hundreds of folks in our vibrant community, one thing is crystal clear: you’re eager for a way to put together delicious meals on busy weeknights, without the stress.

That’s why I created this product. So you can walk into your kitchen on a Tuesday night with the heavy lifting already done.
No more endless searching for what to cook, no more incomplete grocery lists, and no more marathon cooking sessions. You deserve this life upgrade!

Frequently Asked Questions

Our meal plans are now more flexible than ever and can easily accommodate households of all sizes. The website allows you to scale recipes up or down, so whether you’re cooking for yourself, a couple, a family, or a larger household, we’ve got you covered.

Each week’s default plan includes three dinner recipes that originally serve four generous portions. Our side salads often stretch the meals further—usually pairing with two, sometimes all three, of the dinners.

For smaller households:

If you’re cooking for one or two, you can scale recipes down or enjoy the bonus of tasty leftovers for lunches or quick dinners later in the week. Want even more control? Edit the meal plan to remove a meal or two from your week.

For larger households:

Cooking for a group? Simply scale up the recipes right in the meal planner—no extra math needed. Everyone gets a full portion, and the meal plan adjusts your grocery list automatically.

For any household:

You can add or remove meals from your weekly plan, making it easier to match your appetite and lifestyle. Whether you want multiple meals a day or just a couple dinners to anchor your week, you’ll have full control.

Plus, many recipes are marked as “freezer-friendly” so you can cook once and save some for busy days ahead!

Ultimately, this calculation is up to you, but I wanted to share the three reasons I believe the value far outstrips the cost.

First, your quality of life gets better. Take a moment to read the testimonials dotted throughout this page. Over and over, you’ll see the same thing: meal plan users are eating more nourishing meals, they’re getting dinner on the table faster, and they’re excited about cooking.

Second, you will almost certainly save money. If you order takeout just one fewer time per month as a result of the meal plans, you’ve already made back the price of the service and then some. If you order takeout two or three fewer times per month, you’ve made an incredible return on your investment.

Finally, it would be extremely challenging for most home cooks to do this style of meal planning on their own. For most weeks of the meal plan, I had to develop new recipes to complement my existing ones. I needed to ensure that the meals had overlapping ingredients and shared components; without them, you wouldn’t actually save any time when it comes to your weeknight meals. 

Only you can determine if this aligns with your needs and goals, but we’re confident that for many folks, our meal plans will be a game-changer.

Some fan-favorite meals appear in more than one meal plan, but you’ll never see the same combination of weekly meals repeated within a given year if you follow the official plan each week. And in addition to the library of 65+ existing meal plans you’ll have access to when you become a paying subscriber, we release new meal plans and recipes every month.

Regular Meal Plans: If you complete the meal prep steps in advance, then most meals come together in 30 to 45 minutes. Each meal plan also features handy shortcuts that can cut down on prep time even further.

Easy Weeknight Meal Plans: With no meal prep and simpler steps, these special meal plans feature dinner recipes that come together in 30 minutes or less. Perfect for busy weeks!

For all recipes, we include the estimated active and inactive cooking time so you can plan accordingly. Of course, cooking times will vary from home cook to home cook, depending on your experience level. But, the more you cook and the better prepared your pantry is, the quicker you’ll become!

While eating more plant-based meals can lead to awesome long-term health benefits (hello, energy boost!) ― these meal plans aren’t specifically designed for weight loss. Instead, we focus on crafting meals that are satisfying and won’t leave you wanting something more. Think dinners that are rich in nutrients and flavor.

Every meal plan I create has been designed to deliver satiating, plant-powered nourishment.

But for those looking to pump up their protein even more, I also developed a special collection of High Protein Meal Plans that provide 30+ grams of protein per dinner. Once your paid subscription is active, you’ll be able to access these special plans along with all the others. Getting swole just got easier!

While the official recipes we highlight each week will map to the seasons of the Northern Hemisphere, you can absolutely use the meal plans no matter where you are. Paid subscribers can browse our complete library of 65+ meal plans anytime and easily filter to find meal plans for any season!

Yes! Each meal plan recipe comes with gluten-free and nut-free substitutions so you can safely enjoy each meal without compromising on flavor. Plus, with The Complete Guide to Substitutions (a bonus guide you get for free when you become a subscriber!), you’ll find easy alternatives for allergens, as well as unavailable ingredients and flavor preferences.

Please note that we are not able to provide substitutions for soy allergies or sesame allergies at this time. Also note that if you opt to customize our meal plans and add recipes from my blog, those recipes may not all feature gluten-free and nut-free substitutions. 

I try to stick to ingredients that are available at well-stocked grocery stores in the meal plans. If you’re familiar with vegan cooking, very few, if any, of the ingredients will be “new” to you. 

Occasionally, when I make a recipe from a different culture, I will include a specialty ingredient or three if it’s worth it (similar to the recipes I share on my website and YouTube channel). The meal plan will contain instructions on where you can find these ingredients (both at local stores or online) as well as substitutions if you can’t find them.

There are some fan-favorite recipes from my blog in the meal plans, and you can add more recipes from my blog to your meal plans if you choose. But the majority of the meal plans feature exclusive creations you won’t find anywhere else – including my blog, YouTube channel, and cookbooks. Your paid subscription includes access to 260+ exclusive recipes like high-protein meals, easy weeknight dinners, and my go-to breakfast recipes.

I specially crafted these recipes for the meal plans in order to give you a unique and diverse cooking experience while keeping things efficient in the kitchen.

Once you sign up for the service, you’ll gain access to our online meal plans portal at plans.rainbowplantlife.com. From there, you can access our meal plans and recipes from any smartphone, tablet, or computer. 

Prefer printed plans? We’ve got you covered! Our weekly email will include a PDF of the meal plan of the week. Plus, all the recipes and meal plans on the site can be printed out or downloaded as PDFs at the click of a button. You can even customize what gets included in your download so that you can save paper and ink 🙂

100%. Use the handy download or print features to save each week’s meal plan so that you have an arsenal of delicious recipes to pull from when you’re craving something different or want to impress your dinner guests. You can download one meal plan (including any of your customizations!) each week throughout your subscription. We recommend saving any downloads you would like to keep, as you won’t be able to re-download old meal plans from the site if you let your subscription expire.

You can cancel your subscription or pause future payments at any time. Simply visit the settings page in your account and open the subscription tab; from there, you’ll be able to manage your subscription. Need help? You can always email us at mealplans@rainbowplantlife.com and my team will be happy to help.

If you sign up for a quarterly subscription and then cancel, your subscription simply won’t renew after the 3 months have elapsed (though, of course, you’ll still have access to your subscription during that period). If you sign up for an annual subscription, same thing except your subscription won’t renew after the 12 months have elapsed.

Given the digital format of these meal plans and the bonus of keeping all the meal plans that you download ― refunds aren’t available. 

However, you can try out the service risk-free by signing up for our 7-day free trial. We’ll even remind you a few days before your trial ends.

I’m all ears! Just email us at mealplans@rainbowplantlife.com.

I’m ready to make weeknight meals better than ever!
