Look for indian recipes, as hundreds of millions of them are vegetarian and eat very tasty food. Cook rice and mix it with different kinds of daal (lentils). As xeofreestyler says, vitamin B12 is important. It and B6 are the only vitamins not present in vegetables. Eat eggs and dairy to get it. Sup my fellow Indian  My parents are vegetarian, so a lot of the food we eat is vegetarian. Because I'm Indian, we mainly eat a lot of different types of curries that are made from different vegetables. We eat daal with rice too (which is like the standard Indian rice thing). So ya, look up Indian food, there are tons of Indian recipes that are vegetarian. | ||

Just FYI, the average French person consumes 4 times as much better and 10 times as much alcohol as the average American. Yet, the French have the 2nd lowest rate of deaths due to heart failure (the lowest being Japan). If you buy into all of the debate about how diet is the sole (or the biggest) indicator of health, you might understand the Japan one, but certainly not the French one. This "French Paradox" itself is also in debate, but the statistics do show that they generally consume more animal fat, more butter, a higher ratio of saturated fat, and 3 times as much pork (according to Wikipedia). There are other reasons to eat vegetarian too, such as what the OP wanted (and I'm not here to debate that), but when I first read about the "French paradox" I was pretty blown away. I can now eat bacon, large quantities of it too, without restraint or feelings of guilt. Sure, it's probably bad for me in some way or another, but I'm happy with this excuse :-) | ||

Hummus - a really tasty dip, essentially a bean dip. It is kind of a mediterranean/middle eastern food, perfect for dipping cellery or carrots, or putting on bread as a dip or to make a sandwich. Good protein, very healthy, etc. Look for a more detailed recipe. You need a blender or processor. 1 can chickpeas. A jar of tahini (like peanutbutter, except made of sesame seeds). Olive oil. Lemon juice. Fresh garlic. Black pepper. Water. Oregano or parsley. Salt. Add all that shit togehter and blend it for a few minutes and you get hummus. I also recommend adding something hot, like red chile pepper flakes. See a recipe for the proportions. "Indian" style lentils. Throw a bunch of lentils in a pan with water, boil. Add a chunk of butter, add salt, add curry, add red chile pepper, add chile powder, add garlic. Cook for about 20 minutes or until lentils are nice and soft. Enjoy~ Apple smoothy: Blender. An apple, preferably of large size. (My favorite is the pink lady variety, but lately I use Red Delicious due to price/availability). Spinach. Flax seed. Add a "good" amount of water to the blender (a half cup maybe? A whole cup? - I just experimented and judge by sight - I'm not an expert chef). Add 8 heaping TEAspoons of flax seed (a good amount of flax seed). Add as much spinach as the blender can hold (maybe 4 big handfuls). Slice up the apple and add that. Blend. Enjoy! This is a very green mixture, and very tasty. I don't much taste the spinach or flax, but rather the spinach and flax just kind of mellow out the apple flavor, so essentially it is a very mellow apple drink. You can experiment by adding other stuff... I drink this smoothy every day, and consider it a good way to get a good helping of flax seed and raw greens. the apple is just for flavor. I say this because one might be tempted to add lots of flavorful fruity shit to their smoothy to get something really tasty, but my philosophy is that you should add as much of the healthy bland stuff, and use a LITTLE fruit to make it taste good. Fruit normally tastes awesome anyway, so just eat that separate. But you could experiment with adding sprouted wheat berries to the mix - it makes it thicker and a little less good, but WAY more healthy. Only reason I don't do that is it just makes it a lil more time consuming than I'd like. Simple "mediterranean" salad: A few handfuls of spinach, some red onion, a tomato (sliced), feta cheese, and possibly kalamata olives. Add olive oil and hot chile flakes. This goes EXCELLENT with pasta or pizza. I'm a vegetarian. My diet is far from optimal (I eat pizza once or twice a week. I eat a good bit of pasta.) I eat lots of salads. Lots of fruit and greens and carrots! In a given day, I might eat a few apples, a few oranges, and a few bananas. I eat a good amount of whole grain bread, often with olive oil. I eat LOTS of beans and rice (pintos with red chile sauce). I love lentils and Indian food. BottleAbuser is right, if you eat even a small variety of whole (unprocessed) foods - preferably organic - you'll be totally healthy. As a vegetarian - and this applies for everyone - you should avoid soy, refined sugar, trans fats, aspartame and other artificial sweeteners, and MSG. Soy is heavily marketed to vegetarians, and it blocks absorption of essential vitamins and minerals, while also dosing you with estrogen. It should not be consumed except when fermented. (Avoid tofu, soy milk, soy ice cream, soy burgers, etc). | ||

 I don't really care about eating healthy stuff I believe I'm healthy enough. I just wanted to reduce the amount of meat because of all the multiple ecological impacts associated with it. But it's so hard to find good vegetarian food when I go out to eat >< Are there some noodles easy level meatless food that I could buy? I mean those soy beefs, I love those but they look so hard to make. Is there an easy way around? | ||
