No. Each month we'll gradually build up to a complete 5-day meal plan. So in Weeks 1, 2 and 3, you'll receive two new recipe lessons each week, with a grocery list and suggested weekend prep tasks. You can work these recipes into your usual meal rotation wherever they fit.

In the fourth week of the month, we'll combine all of the month's recipes into a complete 5-day meal plan (breakfast, lunch and dinner). You'll receive a grocery list and prep task list for this meal plan, and you'll practice executing the complete plan all in the same week.

Each month you remain in the program, you'll collect another full 5-day plan, so if you're a member for one year, you'll have collected 12 weekly meal plans (3 months' worth of unrepeated recipes), which you can refer to again and again.

If you prefer to receive a complete meal plan every week, click here to read about my 1:1 mentorship program.

The strategy here is to gradually work our way up to preparing about 8 yummy recipes all in one week.

But in any given week, only two of your recipes will be entirely new to you.

This way, you're not cooking something new for *every* meal all week long, which could feel overwhelming.

Instead, by the time we finally do prepare all of the new recipes within a single week, you'll already be familiar with most of them.

The complete meal plan in the final week of the month covers five days because most people will have some other plans on the weekend or even on certain weekdays. A 5-day plan allows for some flexibility, and a chance to catch up on leftovers if necessary.

If you find yourself needing an extra recipe or two for our fully  planned week, this would be a great opportunity to revisit your favorite recipe(s) from prior months!

All of the recipes feature whole food, plant-based ingredients, so they are naturally dairy-free and egg-free.

Whenever possible, a gluten-free option will be suggested. This will be possible the vast majority of the time.

If you have other restrictions, feel free to ask about substitutions in the community forum, and we'll help you as much as possible.

If you're looking for more consistent guidance for your specific dietary needs, the Green Sage 1:1 mentorship program may be a better fit for you. Click here to learn more.

Once you become a member, you'll automatically be billed each month until you cancel.

Your membership fee will remain the same for as long as you stay in the Club, even if the price increases for new members in the future.

You can cancel at any time, and as long as you do so 48 hours before the next month's renewal, you won't be charged for the following month.

Given the monthly structure of the Club, registration will be open to new members only in the last week of each month, for the start of the following month.

After the month begins, the doors will be closed again until the following month.

If you're currently a member and wish to cancel, you can do so at any time, up to 48 hours prior to the start of the following month, and you will no longer be billed.

You'll be warmly welcomed back to re-join at any time after cancellation, but you'll need to re-register at whatever the current membership price is at that time.

Unfortunately, membership "pauses" are not possible.

At the start of each month, your Week 1 recipes for the current month will be posted on the Club platform, and all of the previous month's recipes will no longer be accessible.

This is due to the technical limitations of the platform, and to ensure fairness to existing members, as new members enter.

As a result, it's advisable to download all of your recipes in the month they are originally posted.

However, if you need to access a past recipe from a time when you were a member, send me an email and we'll sort it out.

You'll have access to a video replay after the live class is held, and you'll receive the printable recipe and shopping list for it, as well, even if you don't attend.

This way, you can make the class recipe any time, as it fits in your schedule.

And if any questions arise while you're cooking, you can always post them in the community forum.

No. The online community forum is hosted on the Green Sage website, so you don't have to have an account with any of the social media platforms in order to participate.

The forum is intuitive to navigate, and will be accessible only to Green Sage members.

A welcoming, supportive environment is cultivated there, and there is a zero-tolerance policy with regard to trolling, bullying, and non-constructive criticism.

No prior experience is necessary.

Given the nature of our written cooking lessons, which include photographs of each step of the cooking process, it'll be easy to follow all of the recipes, even if you aren't yet super proficient in the kitchen.

That said, if you'd like to take a deep dive into the fundamentals of plant-based nutrition and cooking, the Green Sage 1:1 Mentorship program might be a great place to start. Click here to learn more.

No. Whether you're already vegan, or you consider yourself more of a plant-curious omnivore, you'll be welcomed into the Club.

The goal is to help you eat delicious plant-based meals more frequently, whatever that might mean for you.

This is always a judgment-free zone.
