Often times you hear people complaining that becoming a vegetarian, pescetarian, and/or vegan is expensive, time-consuming, and BORING. I’m here to tell you that all of this is absolutely false. You are not only limited to lettuce and raw vegetables because there are a number of interesting recipes out there! Here are a few ways I keep my meals interesting:
Vegetarian Meat/Tofu
As a pescetarian, I know how hard it is to ignore those cravings, but instead of breaking down I have found a new love for vegetarian meat and tofu. Yes, I was TERRIFIED at first but trust me, it is so good! Morning Star, the brand I have recently been eating, has such a variety. You can get chicken strips, “meat” balls, anything you can think of and it will completely satisfy those cravings. Also, the tofu (sofritas) at Chipotle is BOMB! The look of it sitting in the pan may be a turnoff but when I say it tastes like spicy chicken, I am NOT lying!
TASTY
Everyone loves Tasty videos. I know I can sit there and scroll for hours. They conveniently have a number of fish based, vegetarian, and vegan meals that are easy to prep and make.
Pinterest, Pinterest, Pinterest!
Pinterest has TONS of recipes! You can get as specific as you want and they will find something for you. The best part about Pinterest is that it is nothing but PICTURES! So, it’s not a lot of reading just the picture and the recipe! If your mouth doesn’t drool while scrolling, something is wrong with you.
Good ole Google
As a given, typical search engines are key for beginners and those looking for new recipes. They may become repetitive but it can lead you in so many directions!
While looking for recipes remember to keep an open mind and try new things!
HAPPY EATING!
