So for this week’s Meatless Monday, we hunted down recipes to save you from a slate of boring baby spinach salads.

Although athletes like Michael Phelps have been known to load up on meat-heavy diets, and London’s Olympic Village is filled with a hotly-contested menu of McDonald’s burgers and fries, vegetarian and vegan athletes do exist, even at the Olympics. For today’s Meatless Monday, we’re taking a page out of their diet and nutrition book to share some great vegetarian meals for any anyone (even if your goal isn’t to steer clear of meat entirely…or you’re not an Olympic-level athlete).

Just to get this straight: The USDA did not mean to internally plug Meatless Monday in a newsletter. That was an accident. Some rogue flexitarian intern probably snuck it in. Or maybe they did mean to, but they just didn’t … More
Farro is an ancient grain that has double the fiber and protein of modern wheat: the perfect candidate to star in this week’s Meatless Monday. Farro is chewy, with a consistency kind of like pasta (you can cook it like pasta, too). You can serve it as a side like you would rice, quinoa or couscous, but farro’s delicious when it takes center stage. Â We suggest fancying up your farro by pairing it with the bounty of fresh summer vegetables available this time of year.

And even if you don’t subscribe to a raw foods diet, getting some uncooked roughage in your system is always a good thing. More
