Healthy Recipes for Vegetarian Diets

Cutting meat out of your diet is an admirably healthy choice, but it can be difficult to find meatless recipes. If you’re growing bored of standard tofu, these exciting vegetarian recipes will help you mix things up.

Caribbean Casserole
Full of spicy, tropical flavors, this Caribbean Casserole is a unique alternative to regular vegetarian dishes. Though many Caribbean recipes include meats like jerk chicken, this one contains no meat and gets its protein from flavorful black beans.

Lentils With Brown Rice and Kale
Kale is a superfood beloved for its numerous health benefits, and it has become a staple in many vegetarians’ diets. This hearty recipe combines kale with protein-rich lentils and flavorful onions, and then places them over brown rice to create a nutritious and filling meal. With 21 grams of protein and only 9 grams of fat, this dish provides vegetarians with everything they’re missing from not eating meat in a much leaner way.

Three-Bean Chili With Chunky Tomatoes
It may seem impossible to eat chili as a vegetarian, but this completely meatless recipe is an almost indistinguishable alternative. The protein-packed blend of three different types of beans makes a sturdy base, while the variety of spices gives this dish the zesty flavor that you love from a good chili.
