Morrisons Batch-Friendly Weekly High-Protein Vegetarian Plan — 1,800 kcal
High-protein meat-free eating. This 7-day plan targets 1,800 kcal/day and averages 124g of protein, built around Morrisons's Savers for an estimated £40–70/week. Meals are chosen to hold up after a few days in the fridge or freezer — stews, chillies, tray bakes and grain bowls — rather than anything that goes soggy or dries out on reheating.

The One Appliance This Plan Assumes
This is a batch plan built around slow-cooked meals — the kind of cooking a slow cooker does unattended while you are out. A 3.5L bowl suits the portion counts here. If you already own one, you need nothing else for this plan.

Slow cookerBudget-to-mid range
Crock-Pot Slow Cooker, 3.5L
The classic entry-level Crock-Pot: two heat settings, a removable ceramic bowl for easy cleaning, and a size that suits most households cooking 3-5 portions at once.
Best forA standard household batch cooking stews, curries and casseroles
Good to knowNo timer or digital display on this entry model, so you set it and check back manually.
This plan uses repeated weekday bases so the Sunday prep instruction matches the actual meals.
Prepare five portions of Protein Waffles with Greek Yogurt and Berries for quick breakfasts.
Cook and portion five lunches of Edamame and Soba Noodle Salad.
Batch cook Teriyaki Tofu with Brown Rice and Broccoli and Quorn Mince Bolognese with Wholemeal Pasta as the main dinner bases, then alternate them Monday to Friday.
Portion snacks in advance: Tzatziki with Vegetable Dippers, Light Mozzarella and Tomato, Protein Yogurt with Low-Sugar Granola, Mini Protein Overnight Oats, and Frozen Greek Yogurt and Berry Bark.
Cool everything quickly and get it into the fridge within one to two hours.
Refrigerate only the portions you will eat within two days — freeze the rest straight away, and move each one to the fridge the night before you need it. Freezing the later part of the week is a food-safety step, not a freshness preference.
Strong on fresh counters and in-store production, mid-priced against the rest of the big four.

Swaps & Suggestions
💰 Make it cheaper
Buy Morrisons's Savers range for rice, pasta, oats and tins — nutritionally identical to standard lines, at the lowest price point in store
Buy dried pulses (lentils, chickpeas, black beans) and cook in bulk rather than tinned — cheaper per portion
Swap fresh berries for frozen mixed berries (same nutrients, fraction of the cost)
Add a couple of eggs or a portion of cottage cheese as a whole-food protein top-up
Use 0% fat Greek yogurt or quark in place of standard yogurt — same volume, far more protein
