BURSTING with vitamins, antioxidan­ts and disease-fighting properties, it’s no wonder we’re encouraged to eat more vegetables.

But many of us are also citing health or ethical reasons to reduce the amount of meat we eat or cut it out altogether.

You may even have gone a step further and decided to forgo all animal products as part of Veganuary, which every January calls for a month of vegan living to help limit animal farming and slow damage to the climate caused by the gases emitted by cattle.

Following a vegetarian or vegan diet can mean you need to give a little more thought to what you eat to ensure you’re getting the nutrients you need, in particular protein.

‘There are plenty of excellent plantbased protein sources including beans, chickpeas and lentils.

‘Also, the extensive recipe resources at WW can introduce you to an exciting world of flavours, textures and suggestion­s for how to prepare delicious and nutritious vegetarian and vegan meals on our myWW programme,’ says Julia Westgarth, head of programme at WW.

‘The fact you can choose a plan that suits your lifestyle and also lose weight with myWW is an added bonus.’

Today, in the final part of our brilliant series, we’ll share mouthwater­ing suggestion­s for meat-free meals that are suitable for both vegetarian­s and vegans. Why not try our recipe for Easy Chinese Soup or Baked Vegetable Spring Rolls? You’ll find they are as good for your taste buds as they are for your waistline.
