The Meatless Monday Movement was founded on the idea of cutting out meat for just one day in hopes of reducing meat consumption for personal and planet health. This year I have focused on adding more plant-based meals into my diet to keep it on track and balanced. Here are 26 absolutely delicious and healthy plant-based, gluten-free recipes to help you add more veggies into your weekly routine!
Although I have started adding some grains and beans into my diet, I made sure to include a ton of paleo-friendly options as well since I know how hard it can be to add plant-based meals to a strict paleo approach!

I have (unsuccessfully) tried many times to do one meatless night a week. My husband is a meat lover and I have a hard time making two separate meals during the week. I can’t wait to try some of these.
