10 Meatless meals for more than just Monday (also perfect for meal prep!)

Share this article

Have you heard of “Meatless Monday” before? It is a common trend for families to have at least one or two meatless family meals a week.

There are lots of reasons to eat more meatless meals. The two most important for us: eating lots of vegetables is good for our health and it is easier on the hip pocket with the added bonus of being healthier for the planet too.

Luckily we have you covered with hundreds of delicious meat-free recipes on the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge. 

 

 

This Monday (or any other day!), skip the meat and up your veggie servings. It is recommended we eat more fruits and veggies to battle the big 4—heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes.

If you’re wanting to eat healthier or save money on groceries, try adding these Meatless Monday menu ideas into your 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge meal plan.
