Ideas For Meatless Mondays
If you start the week eating 100% vegetable and balanced, you will see that continuing like this the rest of the week is much easier
By now you will know, you will have seen on your Facebook or in a tweet that there is an initiative called “Meatless Mondays” or “Meatless Monday”, which consists of eating 100% vegetable this day of the week. Uploading photos of what you’ve eaten is optional;)
Although to some people it seems like a fool, it is not at all. And for many reasons, among them that in our culture Monday is a significant day (beginning of the week) and it is a very good day to start with good habits and maintain them, which is the important thing. These habits include eating better and cooking better. You will also learn to cook more and better.
What do I eat on an ordinary Monday?
Not everyone does a weekly planning (although it is good to do so) and on Monday he pulls “whatever there is”. Think about what you usually dip into on any given Monday. We are going to change it within what you consider comfortable.
Breakfast: coffee and toast with butter and jam
- Coffee with soy milk (or other plant milk) and toasts with vegetable margarine and jam
- Coffee with soy milk (or other plant milk) and toasted or bar with olive oil and tomato
- Coffee with soy milk (or other plant milk) and toast or bar with banana and strawberries
Mid-morning: a snack or bar
- A bar that is vegan and high in protein
- A piece of fruit (apple, banana, tangerine, etc.) and some walnuts or almonds
- A piece of fruit and a piece of dark chocolate
- Avocado

Dinner: fish with stew

The easiest thing is to “veganize” what we normally eat. That is, to turn our food, the flavors to which we are accustomed, into 100% vegetable.
