If you are going to become vegetarian for health reasons,you probably are thinking about how you are going to be able to give up the foods you love.
What if I told you that becoming vegetarian is about to turn you on to some incredible foods you would never have tried before? And you will be thrilled with the awesome way they taste!
So, how do we get started? Well, the best way is to take it slow and easy so we don’t become overwhelmed and give up.
Let’s take a look at 3 ways to leap in to making that change and a meal plan for some ideas.
1. Think of 3 vegetarian meals you already enjoy or may find easy to convert over to. Common ones may be a veggie pizza, pasta dish or stirfry.
2. Find 3 vegetarian recipes online to experiment with. There are many websites with vegetarian recipes to help make the switch easily.
3. Think of 3 recipes you prepare regularly which can be easily adapted to a vegetarian meal using a meat substitute. An example would be “ribs”, corn-on-the-cob and baked potato. There are several brands on the market that put out a mean B-B-Q rib substitute! Replace a hamburger and fries night with a veggie burger on a whole wheat bun and some grilled veggies.
Now, you have 9 completely different vegetarian meals I’m sure will get you started.
Since breakfast seems to be the hardest meal to change for some who like to eat eggs and bacon, let’s address that next. As an alternative, have a banana muffin, or an English muffin, or a bagel and some fruit. Just make sure it’s whole wheat instead of white flour used.
Here’s a nice vegetarian meal plan to get you started –
Breakfast: Fruit Smoothie Muffin Nuts
Lunch: “Tuna” Sandwich (substitute tuna made at home tastes great!) Green Salad
Snack – Fruit Salad Nuts
Dinner: Italian “Sausage” with saute’ onions and green peppers (substitute sausage is delicious!) Pasta Green Salad
Desert: Peanut Butter Bar
