Enjoy A Meatless Monday

Meatless Monday is not just a great idea, it’s a global movement! In collaboration with Johns Hopkins University, Meatless Monday is an effort to decrease meat consumption for our health and our planet’s health.

If you are a meat eater, going just one day a week without meat, especially red meat and processed meat, is not a big sacrifice but has big benefits for you: better heart health, lower risk of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, healthier kidneys, and improved weight management, not to mention saving money.

Eating less meat is also good for the earth: reduced use of resources (including the land and water needed to raise meat) and reduced pollution (including methane gas emissions and waste products).

​Meatless options are plentiful; try these plant-based foods that provide protein and other nutrients:
  • Beans (red, black, pinto, navy, etc.)
  • Chickpeas
  • Nuts
  • Seeds
  • Split peas
  • Lentils
  • Quinoa
  • Soybeans, tofu, tempeh
  • Vegetables

Check out these recipes and additional resources from the Meatless Monday website, plus read about the Meat Free Monday movement started by Paul McCartney and even more recipes here. 😊
