What better way than to kick off the last quarter of the year than with National Vegetarian Day!!
Celebrate all things veggie today.
- Take advantage of National Vegetarian Day and reset your dietary pattern.
- Swap out a sugary snack for a veggie snack (sweet potato with salsa, celery with hummus).
- Try a new veggie – at every meal.
- Cook a meal you’ve never cooked before.
- Have fun with your food.
What’s the big deal about vegetables anyway?
- These gems taste fabulous!!!
- There are so many veggies that if one (or more) doesn’t suit your fancy, just set it aside. There are many more options to choose from.
- Veggies provide us with fiber. Fiber makes us feel full so that we’re less likely to overeat. Fiber also keeps everything moving through our system. AND so much more.
- Vegetables are more nutrient dense and generally less caloric than animal foods. That means you can actually eat more food without becoming heavier when you’re following a whole food, plant-based diet.
- These powerhouse plants can help prevent and even reverse disease.
- Veggies boost energy – rather than slowing us down.
Take the challenge:
- Hop online to find a recipe or go to your favorite indie bookstore and buy a cookbook featuring vegetarian fare. (Check out a few of my cookbooks pictured below.)
Celebrate the veggie today and every day!
