Dinner just got a lot easier with this collection of 52+ Gluten Free Vegetarian Recipes for Meatless Monday-one every week of the year, plus more!

No matter whether you’re already following a vegan or vegetarian diet, or you’re a flexitarian or an omnivore looking to add more plant-based recipes to your diet, whatever healthy vegetarian recipes you choose to make not only should they nourish your body, but they should also taste delicious too!

Luckily for all of us, I asked my dietitian, nutritionist, and healthy food blogger friends & colleagues to share their favorite “tried and true” healthy gluten free vegetarian recipes with me, so I could share them with YOU!

Not only will you love the health benefits of these delicious plant-based recipes, but also the cost savings of {cutting back on meat} as well. Enjoy!

Nutrition Notes: All recipes are naturally gluten-free unless otherwise noted, then I have added gluten-free substitutions. Many recipes are vegan or can easily be made vegan by omitting dairy/honey/etc. Several recipes are grain-free as well.

For added protein and fiber in pasta dishes, try some of my favorite garbanzo, bean, or lentil-based pasta such as Banza, Tolerant Foods. Capello’s Almond Flour Pasta is a delicious grain-free pasta, or have fun experimenting with veggie noodles or “zoodles” for lower carb/lower calorie options.

  1. Meatless Monday is a great way to incorporate plant-based proteins into your diet! I love this list of diverse recipes–everyone is sure to find at least one meal they would be interested in trying! Just one serving of plant-based protein per week can reduce the risk of cancers, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Plant-based proteins (including beans, nuts, lentils, tempeh) are also great sources of fiber and potassium which are lacking in a typical American diet. Not only are they lower in fat and cholesterol compared to other sources of protein, plant-based proteins are extremely cost-effective. Beans and lentils are cheap, easy to prepare, and can be used in a variety of cuisines–which you’ve displayed with the many recipes in this post! Another great benefit of Meatless Monday is the positive impact on the environment–going meatless for just one day a week can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s some helpful information to help encourage Meatless Monday: http://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/010713p38.shtml

      Thanks so much Deanna-I can’t wait to make a gluten-free version of your Lasagna Kale Roll-Ups! For GF pasta, my “go-to” brand is Ancient Harvest Corn Quinoa blend, and I also like Jovial foods brown rice pastas too, but, lately, I’ve really been in to the chickpea/lentil based pastas from Banza and Intolerant Foods. I’m always amazed how filling & nutritious they are 🙂
