Meatless Mondays are not only a new trending idea on social media, but a healthy way to approach finding a balance between meat centered meals and veggie centered meals. In North America a lot of our meals focus on meat as the primary source of iron and protein, but there are tons of vegetarian foods that also provide the same benefits. Choosing one day a week to eat no meat and more veggies is a great way to find balance in your diet. These recipes below will help you get started on this journey without even thinking twice that meat is missing from your meal.
