Vegetarian meals aren’t just for vegetarians. This National Vegetarian Week, we are showing you some easy and delicious ways to include more vegetarian recipes in your diet. Forget about just eating tofu, these vegetarian meals are seriously tasty, and even meat eaters will love them!
Vegetarian Meal Ideas
I think most of our generation grew up in houses where meat was always on the menu. Every dish had meat in it and people didn’t really know how to have a meal without meat. Fast forward several years and vegetarian is no longer a word associated with hippies and more and more meals are becoming meatless.
But still, there are many people out there that think that vegetarian meals are all tofu and kale. Far from it! There are tons of vegetarian meals out there that even the biggest meat eaters will enjoy, so we are sharing our favourite vegetarian meal ideas with you.
National Vegetarian Week
As it is National Vegetarian Week from this May, we are celebrating by sharing our 40 favourite vegetarian meals for you to try out. National Vegetarian Week isn’t just for vegetarians – it’s a time for meat eaters to make some small changes and include more vegetarian meals in their diets.
The benefits of eating more vegetarian meals each week are huge! No one is expecting you to become a vegetarian overnight, but eating a few more vegetarian meals each week can make a massive difference to your health and the environment.
Eating more vegetarian meals doesn’t have to be difficult either, and these 40 recipes are simple, delicious and show that vegetarian meals are for everyone!
