Thinking about going vegetarian

Avoid the meat alternatives if you don't like meat anyway. You need to reframe what you think about meals. It's hard.. I grew up with meat, veg and a carb.. but now most of our meals are dishes like... Lentil Bolognese, chickpea orzo, tomato pearl barley etc.. Deliciously Ella is amazing for recipes.. and Instagram! We generally only eat meat free sausages, but otherwise we sub protein for beans, legumes, lentils, tofu 😊

Transition into it as you discover what you do and don't like...maybe don't make some big announcement and put pressure on yourself. Start with meatless Mondays & Try-a-new item Tuesdays...Just like ppl cut back on sugar or carbs...cut back on meat to start. One of the coolest and most versatile things is tofu...seriously...look up one of those recipes online that says 50 ways to do tofu, or something. Some like it scrambled...some only like it in small cubes with a crunch around it & drizzled with BBQ sauce...some love to blend it completely creamy with other herbs & spices to make a pasta sauce...It wasn't until I had become a vegetarian that I learned to be creative with food, because I looked at it as a fun new hobby rather than a drag. There are a ton of inspirational accounts to follow that will have you drooling & excited! There's a sweet girl called Fit Green Mind, I believe. And a couple dudes named Bosh, they include the stuff you can buy in the stores/alternatives. Look for the fun of it!
