31 Delicious Meatless Meals
You definitely don’t need to be a vegan or vegetarian to enjoy the countless health benefits of enjoying meatless meals every now and then. And eating meatless doesn’t need to be complicated either. Some of the recipes in this post take literally 5 minutes to prepare!
In general, meatless meals get a bad rap because they’re often centered around “fake” meat products attempting to masquerade as chicken, beef, or pork. But non-processed vegan foods and recipes are so incredibly delicious in their own right that there’s really no need to think of them as a second-rate substitute for meat.
If you’re not a fan of fake meat products—or even if you are—you will be happy to know that none of the 31 meatless meals recipes below include meat substitutes!
