Even if you love it, but just want to eat less.
The first meal of the day tends to be the easiest to make meatless—or even completely plant-based. What’s more, going veggie first thing in the morning can motivate you to stick with it throughout the rest of the day, plant-based dietitian, R.D.N. says. “Try steel-cut oats with fruit and nuts and nondairy milk, whole-grain pancakes topped with nut butter, a veggie breakfast burrito, or scrambled tofu with mushrooms and greens,” she recommends.
Focus on piling more plant foods onto your plate instead of thinking about what you’re leaving out or trying to replace. “When you increase your fruits and vegetables, you’ll automatically notice that your meat intake is slowly dropping,” Acharya says. You’re probably not going to put an actual steak next to that crispy cauliflower steak, right?
Opting for foods that leans into the more-veggie mentality makes this extra easy. Homemade pizza can always take some broccoli or spinach tossed on top, for instance. “Stir-fries, curries, and soups are good too, since you can add as many vegetables as you want to those,” says Acharya.Tofu and tempeh are by far the most versatile alternatives to meat and poultry, says plant-based sports dietitian, M.S., R.D., C.S.S.D..
Try baking marinated sliced tofu in the oven and adding it to sandwiches or salads, or on top of grain bowls. “Or if you want it to get really crispy without frying, toss cubed tofu in a tablespoon of cornstarch before baking or sautéing,” Jones suggests. As for tempeh? Jones loves it crumbled up as an alternative to ground meat or poultry. Add your favourite seasonings and sauté until it gets golden and crisp, or stir it into slow-cooked chilli or stews and let it soak up all the flavoured liquids.
