This October, encourage your family and friends to try “Meatless Mondays.” Treat your taste buds to well-balanced meals that feature fresh leafy greens, colorful vegetables, plant-based meat or other protein-packed foods. It’s a great time to have fun with food and try something new!
Meatless Mondays have become increasingly popular, with restaurants, schools and chefs offering more flavorful plant-based options than ever. Choosing meatless meals from time to time may offer health benefits and could also help conserve resources and reduce environmental impact.
Whether you’re trying a meat substitute for the first time or simply looking for a fresh way to enjoy more vegetables, Meatless Mondays could be a fun way to mix things up.
Be sure to consult with your dietitian or physician before making any changes to your diet or meal plan to know what is right for you.
