CUTE IDEA ALERT: Up Your Veggie Intake!

 
Wanna up your veggie intake in an instant? Snag oh-so-adorable Miss Couturable’s new-school take on going vegetarian. She recently blogged about being vegan ‘til six—aka, avoiding meat and dairy products until dinner.
 
It’s crazy-important for teen girls to get calcium, so don’t forget to include mineral-rich foods like spinach, broccoli, beans, almonds and tofu during the first couple meals of the day.
 
Easy B-fast options:

*Old-fashioned oatmeal with berries
*Whole-wheat toast with peanut butter and an apple
*Cereal with soy milk and banana wheels
 
Yummy lunches:

*A sandwich loaded with spinach, hummus, sprouts, tomatoes on whole-wheat bread
*Salad topped with chickpeas, olives, mushrooms, tofu and piles of your fave vegetables with a whole-wheat pita on the side
*Whole-wheat pasta primavera (pasta topped and vegetables like zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli and peppers)
 
Blog it out... What are your fave vegetarian meals?

I'm a vegatarian and tofu rocks!!! Here are two of my favorite tofu dinners: Cook white rice. Then sautey tofu with some soy sauce. It tastes really good together. Also spagetti, artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, lemon juice, parmasan cheese, and tofu is good. Firm tofu of course.

iluvswim on 2/26/2009 7:48:14 PM

I've been vegetarian for 4 years, and vegan for about 1 1/2 years. It was the best decision of my life. I feel better physically and mentally. it's so cool that someone is showing that being vegan is healthy. it is healthy all of the day too though, not just until dinner!

I was vegetarian for 6 months then lost track of it because I went on vacation and ate what I want. I do want to do it again though.

pegasusgirl57 on 2/26/2009 6:22:49 PM

This is sooo cool since im a vegatarian (since 2nd grade!) and mine would have to be this tofu my mom makes and u spread it on whole wheat toast, put lettuce, tomatoes slice, and a dab of hummus on and it tastes great =D

I love when we have broccoli/cauliflower cheese casserole. Baked potatoes on the side make the perfect meal. I think it tastes really good. Babes, comment on my profile.
