Regardless of when you plan, on the first Monday of every month I’ll be sharing what’s in season as well as a few recipes to help get you inspired to add a Meatless Monday into your life every week!
One thing that I always recommend is to have vegetarian meals at least once a week to make sure you’re getting in loads of antioxidants and fibre to keep you regular!
Depending on your Meal Planning Personality you’ll plan your meals at different times – either a month or a week in advance or on the day – any way you do it is fine! (Click to take the Quiz to Uncover your Meal Planning Personality).
