I wish I’d had all of these meat free recipes a few years ago when I did a 21 day vegan cleanse. It may have made my experience a little more enjoyable.
When you take meat out of your diet it is really important to replace the protein and any vitamins and minerals that you may be missing out on with a vegetarian or vegan alternative. Lentils are a great source of protein and they are cheap and easy to use too.
Once you have diced up all of these summer veggies, this dinner is a breeze to put together. I always use pre cooked lentils from a carton or a tin, they are so handy to have in your kitchen cupboards for those days when you have nothing else on hand.
