Publix Vegetarian Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Roasted Cauliflower and Quinoa Bowl with Honey-Dijon Drizzle
Description: A hearty single-serving bowl built on fluffy frozen quinoa and golden roasted cauliflower florets, finished with a bright drizzle of honey and Dijon mustard. It is a satisfying, protein-rich vegetarian dinner that comes together with minimal prep and maximum flavor.
Sale items used: Cauliflower (2 for $6.00), GreenWise Frozen Quinoa (2 for $8.00), Gefen Clover Honey ($3.99), GreenWise Organic Dijon Mustard (2 for $7.00)
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Use roughly half of one head of cauliflower (about 0.5 lb of florets) and one serving of frozen quinoa (about half the 10-oz bag). Whisk together 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon Dijon for the drizzle. Cauliflower roasts in about 25 minutes at 425 degrees F, so get it in the oven first, then heat the quinoa.

Tuesday
Meal: Sauteed Baby Bella Mushroom and Bell Pepper Hoagie Sandwiches with Parmesan
Description: Sliced baby bella mushrooms and sweet bell pepper strips are sauteed until tender and piled high on a fresh-baked hoagie roll, then finished with a generous shower of grated Parmesan. This is a quick, filling vegetarian sandwich that delivers deep, savory flavor in under 30 minutes.
Sale items used: Publix Baby Bella Mushrooms (2 for $4.00), Red, Yellow, or Orange Bell Peppers ($2.99/lb), Hoagie Rolls ($3.99), Publix Grated Parmesan Cheese ($2.99)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use half of one 8-oz package of mushrooms (about 4 oz) and approximately 0.25 lb of bell pepper (roughly half of one medium pepper). Use one hoagie roll from the 4-count pack and about 2 tablespoons of Parmesan. The remaining mushrooms, peppers, and rolls will carry over to later meals this week.

Check the label: many hard cheeses are set with animal rennet.

Wednesday
Meal: Sweet Potato and Green Bean Quinoa Bowl with Sweet Chili Sauce
Description: Cubed roasted sweet potato and tender-crisp green beans are served over warm frozen quinoa and drizzled with Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce for a lightly sweet and tangy finish. This colorful bowl is naturally vegetarian, packed with fiber and vitamins, and easy to pull together on a weeknight.
Sale items used: Sweet Potatoes ($1.29/lb), Publix Green Beans ($2.99), GreenWise Frozen Quinoa (2 for $8.00), Mae Ploy Sauce (2 for $5.00)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Use about 0.5 lb of sweet potato (one small-to-medium sweet potato) and roughly one-third of the 1-lb bag of green beans (about 5 oz). Use the second half of the frozen quinoa bag from Monday. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce over the finished bowl. Roast the sweet potato cubes at 400 degrees F for about 25 minutes while you steam the green beans.

Thursday
Meal: Homemade Vegetable Pizza on Italian Pizza Dough with Rao's Sauce, Broccoli, and Parmesan
Description: A single-serving homemade pizza is built on Publix Italian pizza dough, spread with Rao's rich marinara sauce, topped with broccoli florets and a sprinkle of Parmesan, then baked until the crust is golden and crisp. This is a fun, restaurant-quality vegetarian pizza night that uses simple sale ingredients you already have on hand from earlier in the week.
Sale items used: Italian Pizza Dough ($2.99), Rao's Homemade Sauce ($6.99), Broccoli (2 for $6.00), Publix Grated Parmesan Cheese ($2.99)
Prep time: 45 minutes
Serving note: Use about one-third to one-half of the 16-oz pizza dough ball to make a personal-sized pizza (freeze the rest or refrigerate for up to 2 days). Spread 3 to 4 tablespoons of Rao's sauce and top with about 1 cup of broccoli florets cut from one bunch. Finish with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan. Bake at 450 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before stretching.

Meal: Savory Mushroom and Cauliflower Puff Pastry Tart with Campari Tomatoes
Description: A golden, flaky puff pastry sheet is topped with sauteed baby bella mushrooms, roasted cauliflower, and sliced Campari tomatoes, then baked into an elegant single-serving savory tart. The combination of earthy mushrooms, tender cauliflower, and bright tomatoes makes this a visually impressive and deeply satisfying vegetarian meal to close out the week.

Serving note: Thaw one puff pastry sheet (the box contains two sheets; wrap and refreeze the second). Use the remaining half of the second 8-oz mushroom package (about 4 oz), about one-quarter of a head of cauliflower (leftover from Monday), and 3 to 4 Campari tomatoes from the 1-lb pack. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Parmesan over the top before baking at 400 degrees F for 20 to 22 minutes. Score a 1-inch border around the pastry edge before adding toppings so the crust puffs up nicely.
