6 Vegetarian Recipes That Will Make You Quit Meat

I’ll have to admit that I am not a vegetarian, but I love vegetarian recipes.

I needed to start with this statement because you do not need to be a vegetarian to love vegetarian recipes. But then again, what do vegetarians eat? Well, everything but not meat-which is why I cannot be a vegetarian. During the years, being vegetarian has almost become a trend. The same people who would post #vegetarianlife are the same one that will stuff their face with nuggets on a drunk night out (true story). My housemate is vegetarian and at least once each week she would make one of her vegetarian meal dishes. At the beginning I was really skeptical, not only I am Italian -yes, we are really fussy- but also there was no meat involved. So, I did try it, and surprise surprise – it was really tasty.

There is this myth that vegetarians’ recipes are really complicated and take times to cook.

So, whether you want to become a vegetarian or you just want to eat healthy and green for a few days, you will find easy vegetarian recipes to inspire you.

1.Frozen Fruit & Almond Crumble

This vegetarian meal is great for starting the day, especially if you want to replace the greasy full English breakfast. You can make it from the day before and leave in the fridge for the next morning. Doing this you can save time -sleep more- and eat healthily. You can find this recipe here.

2.Roasted root veg

If you are after a caloric and healthy dinner then this vegetarian recipe is made for you. It can take up to one hour to cook, so it is better if you prepare it earlier and reheat it. You can substitute the carrots with broccoli or you can just add broccoli if you want to take to another level. Try it and you will surprise all of your friends with this tasty vegetarian meal.

If you are thinking ‘disgusting’, I have to disagree because most of the ingredients here are 100% natural and they can be refrigerated.
