These steps will give 9 different choices to begin with.

Some people think that breakfast is the hardest meal to convert to a vegetarian diet. I mean, really, how do we substitute eggs and bacon (if you so happen to be that kind of breakfast eater). It’s simple, just have a natural muffin or a healthy cold or hot cereal and some fruit. How about a fruit smoothie?

Now, let’s take a look at a typical vegetarian meal plan:

Breakfast: Fruit Smoothie Muffin Nuts

Lunch - “Tuna” Sandwich (substitute tuna made at home tastes great!) Green Salad

Snack - Fruit Salad Nuts

Dinner: Italian “Sausage” with saute’ onions and green peppers (substitute sausage is delicious!) Pasta Green Salad

Desert: Peanut Butter Bar
