Hi all!! I've been vegetarian for a few months now, and I'd love to have some more vegetarian friends on MFP to get food inspo/swap recipes! Bonus points if you're also a college student with similar stats :smile:

    I love to eat veggies and fruits, I mix it up and mix some smoothies and fruit juice for a new taste.
    Try this at home.
    Using your blender, you simply need to put all these ingredients together, add water or ice for consistency, and sip up to slim down. Cut mango into cubes and mashed ripe avocado too. Add 1 cup of fat-free vanilla yogurt and a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice. Add ice cubes to thicken your smoothie.

    I don't have similar stats, well maybe height. I'm 5'6. I am a college student and I am starting to incorporate a more plant based aka vegetarian diet. I started a few weeks ago because my grocery budget is very small and I think its a great way to stretch my food budget. I'm interested in food and recipe ideas as well

    Hello :) I'm a veggie, been meat-free a few years and just given up dairy as well. I cook most of my meals from scratch and I'm always experimenting with new recipes.

    Height 5'5"
    CW- 144
    GW- 135

    Sadly my college days are a distant (and very blurry) memory, I'm 35 now. Always happy to add new friends though! My diary is open, daily calorie limit is 1300, I run, do weights and yoga to keep fit.

    I've been a vegetarian my entire life. Recently i've been diagnosed with lactose intolerance, so i've cut out most dairy as well.

    You can add me, i sometimes post recipes to my blog (along with the nutritional info). I'm 5'3.5 and weigh 118.

    I've been a vegetarian for 20+ years. I copied and pasted my go-to recipe books below. You could bounce around these books for a year and not make the same thing twice, but I suggest that you only pick two recipes and make them once a week until you can shop for and prepare them from memory. Once you've got them down, add another pair while still occasionally making the first pair.

    Hi! I've been vegetarian for a little over a year. I don't have many friends in real life who are vegetarian to talk to so I was hoping to meet people here as well. Feel free to add me :)
