20 Easy Vegetarian Recipes So Good You Won’t Miss the Meat

If you’re trying to gain muscle and lose fat, then you probably know the importance of eating enough protein.

And you also know that eating meat makes it very easy to do this.

Is it necessary, though?

Absolutely not. You can get plenty of protein and build plenty of muscle eating little (or even no) meat.

You can also benefit in other ways from including vegetarian recipes in your meal plans.

For starters, vegetarian dishes tend to focus on fruits and vegetables, which helps ensure you’re getting the micronutrients you need in addition to hitting your macros.

Research shows that eating vegetarian a few times a week can also save you money, so there’s another good reason to get some “clean eating” into your life.

And last but not least, the right vegetarian recipes taste awesome.

From Creamy Pumpkin & Sweet Potato Soup to Cheesy Curried Cauliflower Pasta, Vegetable Pot Pie, Baked Zucchini Fries, and Brussels Sprouts Veggie Sliders, these dishes give their carnivorous counterparts a serious run for their money.

Enjoy!

Vegetable Pot Pie

Serves 8

This comforting dish is lightened up and loaded with veggies, but you don’t have to sacrifice the real biscuit topping for a healthy pot pie.

This recipe uses the real deal, and you can pick up white whole-wheat flour, aka whole-wheat pastry flour, to add complex carbs. This is a classic yet nutritious dinner, and the best part is the price. Each serving is under $1, a fraction of the price of a frozen pot pie.

Easy Vegetarian Chili

Serves 4

Canned chili is convenient, but it’s often flavorless and has unwanted preservatives like MSG. Make this fresh, fast chili instead, and in a half hour you’ll have a delicious bowl that can be doctored to suit your personal preferences.

Use any two cans of beans, like pinto and red beans, and for a real kick, add minced jalapeno to the pot along with the garlic. Top with cheese, sour cream, guacamole, or crushed tortilla chips.

Vegetarian Lasagna Spaghetti Squash Boats

Serves 2

Making a vegetarian lasagna is simple enough – just leave out the meat. But then you still have to layer everything together, which can be time-consuming.

When you use a spaghetti squash as the baking dish, it’s possible to make an easy low-carb pasta that offers several servings of veggies. And although this version is vegetarian, it’s high in protein from the spinach, mushrooms, and three kinds of cheese.

Avocado Egg Breakfast Pizza

Serves 4

This is called a breakfast pizza since there’s a fried egg on top, but it’s an awesome meal any time of day. And it’s easy to adapt if you’d rather use hummus instead of the quick homemade guac, or want to top your pizza with scrambled eggs and sun-dried tomatoes.

For a low-carb version, use cauliflower flatbreads, made from grated cauliflower with eggs as a binder.

Mushroom & Wheat Berry Sauté

Serves 1

If you love a good stir fry, try this healthy version with mushrooms instead of meat and wheat berries to replace the rice.

Since they’re an unprocessed grain, they take about the same time to cook as brown rice, but the texture holds up better if you make them a day or two ahead of time. To add more protein to this mushroom stir fry, chop up some baked tofu.

Slow Cooker Lentil Bolognese

Serves 8

For hearty vegetarian pasta, you’ll need more than tomatoes, onion, and peppers. That’s a quick way to make a basic marinara, but for something as filling as a meaty pasta sauce, adding lentils will do the trick.

Lentils add protein without contributing any fat, and you’ll also be getting more fiber and complex carbs to keep you full.

Baked Zucchini Fries

Serves 5

French fries are technically vegetables, but too often the nutrition has been stripped out. Enjoy the snack you love with the healthy properties of veggies with homemade baked fries.

This version is made from zucchini, but carrots, butternut squash, and daikon radish would also work. Whatever kind you go for, make your healthy fries into a complete meal by topping them with chili.

Portobello Vegan BLT

Serves 4

To make a vegetarian sandwich with the flavor of a BLT, you don’t need some kind of soy bacon. Instead add savory flavor with mushrooms. Liquid smoke can also add depth.

Made from real smoke, using a small amount captures the flavor of a flame-kissed burger or smoky bacon. Look for a liquid smoke that doesn’t have other seasonings like salt, vinegar, or soy sauce.

Brussels Sprouts Veggie Sliders

Serves 8

These vegan burgers aren’t trying to be like ground beef. Instead they’re their own awesome, low-carb slider.

Serves 4

This vegan soup is so hearty you’d never guess it’s missing meat. The only tip-off is the tofu, although eaters might not realize what it is since the tofu soaks up all the awesome flavor of the broth.

Rajma Chawal (Indian Red Beans & Gravy)

Serves 4

This is an easy recipe to try if you want to learn how to layer flavors in Indian cooking. Rice and beans is so basic, the only new steps to work out are how to get all that seasoning into the red gravy.

Whereas a lot of recipes with onion, ginger, and garlic start with chopping them and adding them to a hot skillet, this one has you grind (or food process) everything into a paste. Then it’s sautéed in oil and mixed with spices.

Think outside the deli, and it’s possible to make a nutritious and substantial vegetarian sandwich. This filling has chickpeas, parsley, and onion – not far off from a falafel, but easier to make since there’s no rolling or frying required.

And if you aren’t worried about keeping it vegetarian, this recipe can be served two ways. Quickly turn it into a chicken salad or tuna salad sandwich just by mixing in the meat.

In short, what if I told you that proper dieting--whether you want to maximize fat loss or muscle growth--is much simpler and more enjoyable than you’ve been led to believe?

Imagine eating delicious, filling meals every day...never feeling starved or stuffed...having great energy levels and workouts...and watching your body respond exactly as you desire, dropping fat or adding muscle each and every week.

And imagine finally understanding how proper dieting really works, never again falling for the BS, tricks, and gimmicks pushed by “gurus” and other shysters.

Well, I have good news.

All these “fantasies” can be a reality...if you know how to do a handful of “little” things correctly.

You see, when you know how to diet properly--and this doesn’t mean learning to eat boiled chicken and raw broccoli six times per day--getting lean and muscular becomes simple, convenient, and dare I say...enjoyable.

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.

Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.

Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.

Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.

Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.

We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.

Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.

While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.

Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.

It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.

If you don’t absolutely love this product, just let us know, and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No forms or return necessary.
