How To “Bypass” The Meat And Make Protein Rich Recipes Instead

Tired of the grilled chicken? Never care if you ever see another burger again? If you are feeling like you are eating a bit too much meat then it’s time to think about letting go of your all meat diet and opt for a few meatless meals instead.

You don’t always have to eat meat! In our house, we try to be mindful of exactly how much meat we are eating, especially in the summertime when it’s so easy to fire up the BBQ. 

How To Bypass The Meat And Make Protein Rich Recipes Instead - Sassy Townhouse Living

It’s so important to make sure you get getting enough protein when you surrender on the meat dishes. I’ve discovered there are some delicious recipes out there to try instead. It’s always a good idea to go meatless at least two days a week and these recipes will help you get there! 

Why is it important to make sure you are getting enough protein when eating less meat? Protein functions to build and maintain your body, fight off disease, and keeping your energy levels high so you can be alert all day. While it may seem challenging to make sure you are getting a full dose of protein per day  – on average 46g for women, 56g for men –  implementing a few of these high-protein and meatless foods into your diet can help you reach those protein goals.

Let’s tackle this by category.

Veggies and Fruit

Yes, you can actually just eat meals consisting of vegetables and fruit and feel satisfied. Vegetables are important sources of many nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber, folate (folic acid), vitamin A, and vitamin C. 

Here are some delicious and easy recipes that I often make especially when I’m looking to avoid meat. There’s a lot of awesomeness to choose from so be sure to bookmark this post for future yumminess!

Olive oil is so good for you too so don’t worry. We love a lot of eggs in our recipe that’s why I really look at it as an egg dish but it’s really a pasta dish too!
