October is Vegetarian Awareness Month, the perfect time to explore how incorporating more meatless meals can benefit both our health and the environment – no matter your current eating style.
Research shows that a diet rich in plant-based foods can lower the risk of heart disease, help with weight management, and reduce our environmental impact. The best part? You don't have to go completely vegetarian to reap these benefits.
Pro Tips:
Try Meatless Monday: Start with just one day a week to experiment with vegetarian meals.
Make Easy Swaps:
Use lentils instead of ground beef in tacos
Use beans to replace meat in soups and stews
Build Around Plant Proteins: Focus on familiar foods like black beans in burritos, chickpeas in curry, or tofu in stir-fries.
