Vegetarian/Vegan Eating

ChaleGirl · March 2016

Hey guys,

Is anyone in this group veggie or aspiring to be veggie. Would be good to post some meal ideas and reasons why people transitioned to plant based eating....

I haven't eaten meat in a few years and don't eat dairy often, although I go through phases. The reason I changed was just part of a journey to better health.

Some of my go to easy vegan meals include, lentil, spinach and squash stew, broccoli, spinach and tofu stir fry, plantain with beans, and jollof rice! I also make spelt bread cheeseless pizzas which are v quick and yummy!

Looking forward to hearing everyone's ideas

This meal plan is how I started eating vegetarian and on a budget. The link I'm sending you in for one person-week four, but you can start anywhere in the plan. I usually mix and match my weeks at this point. If you're cooking for more than just you there's also two-people - week ???. I sometimes do this just for me to add variety. http://plantbasedonabudget.com/plant-based-on-a-budget-challenge-1-person-week-3/

Bit late but I'm vegetarian! I try my best to eat good, whole foods like fresh vegetables, beans, legumes, nuts, fruit, home baked items and good quality brown bread, and almost forgot whole fats! I don't eat low fat anything as I don't trust them! As I said, I TRY my best but it doesn't always work out for me!!!! I have a big sweet tooth and I have a difficult time with my cravings and a lot of the time I do crumble

Vegan here, I have an open diary. It's mostly full of tacos, but there is some variety sometimes.

I transitioned to vegan about 3 and a half weeks ago, best thing I could have ever done for myself seriously! I would love to get a group going for vegans, even a FB group to get more active with it!

I've been vegetarian/pescatarian for about 5 years - my body stopped craving meat so I stopped eating it cold turkey and felt AMAZING, therefore never looked back. I eat lots of produce, my go to is egg on toast for breakfast with some cuke, tomato or fresh fruit, lots of soups, curries, stirfry, pasta...honestly you can make adjustments to make almost anything vegetarian really easily.

Not vegan/vegetarian, but I do limit my meats to fish & chicken. I recently made what I call "Sassy Vegetable Chili":

Vegetable stock, 3-4 cups
Tomato paste, 4-6 tbsp
Canned tomatoes, 1 can
Sweet potato, chopped
Green bell pepper, chopped
Onion, chopped
Paprika, 1 tbsp
Garlic powder, 3 tsp
Cumin, 3 tsp
Mrs. Dash Tomato Basil Garlic, 5 tsp
Salt, 3 tsp (or to taste)

This is about 10 servings-- dinner for days (or a few days if you have a family)
