April 18, 2019

If you’re trying to lose weight, or just thinking about it, one of the easiest ways to do so if to give up meat. It’s not always possible to cut meat out from your diet completely, but try going meatless maybe one day a week and you may see your waistline shrink.

This month will see the advent of Earth Day, too, on April 22 and leaning towards a plant-based diet can go a long way towards helping keep the environment clean, green and sustainable.

8 Easy Meat-Free Swaps To Try Out If You Want To Shed A Few Extra Kilos
Lentils

Try swapping beef or pork mince for lentils. Lentils will bulk up your meal and make it nice and hearty with its filling quality. They are also a great source of plant-protein.

Jackfruit

Yes, it’s a fruit, but jackfruit holds up incredibly well in meat recipes. Try it in pulled BBQ sandwiches or use it in stir-fries, where the sauce can counter some of the fruit’s natural sweetness.

Tempeh

Swap crunchy bacon for tempeh (it’s made from soybeans). You can flavour it using a marinade and slice it thinly for that extra bite and texture in your cooking.

Mushrooms

They don’t taste exactly like steak, but don’t be surprised if some of your non-veggie friends actually prefer eating mushrooms to the steak. They have a nice meaty bite to them and just taste great when grilled.

Beans

Beans are a great option instead of beef as these versatile gems create a robust, meaty texture that even devoted meat eaters will love.

Cauliflower

A lot of dishes benefit from swapping in cauliflower, including steak! Cauliflower steak might not resemble an actual steak, but its naturally mild flavor and tender texture can be transformed with a killer sauce, breading, or rub.

Eggplant

Eggplant has a pretty meaty texture, and makes for a good meat substitute. Try replacing beef with eggplant the next time you’re making burgers or a sandwich.

Tofu

In addition to its many other uses, you can dip, fry, dry, or marinate tofu, rendering it quite the versatile food source when using to replace meat.
