Tip 4: Meatless Mondays (or Whichever Day Most Floats Your Boat)

One way to add more plant-based meals to your diet is to designate one day per week as Meatless Day. This is a great day to experiment with new vegetarian recipes and try different ways to enjoy plant foods.

If you’re not sure where to start, let us throw out a few suggestions your way:

  • Vegetarian chili
  • Lentil soup
  • Black bean burgers
  • Veggie stir-fry
  • Pasta with tomato sauce and vegetables
  • Tofu scramble
  • Grilled cheese and tomato soup

Tip 5: Morning Grains

Grains are a good source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, and protein. They are also a good source of B vitamins, which are essential for energy production and metabolism.

Incorporating grains into your breakfast is a great way to start your day off on the right foot.

Here are a few ideas for grain-based breakfasts:

  • Oatmeal with berries and nuts
  • Quinoa porridge with fruit and yogurt
