7 meatless meal ideas
Have you hopped on the meatless Monday bandwagon? Here's why you should. Built around vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, eggs and grains, meatless meals offer many nutrients, including protein. Eating a variety of these foods throughout the day can give you all the essential amino acids — the building blocks of protein — that your body needs. So instead of focusing on meat as the center of your meal, think about the colorful and satisfying meals you can create by utilizing vegetables and whole grains. Use these ideas to get started.

Today's Healthy-Eating Tip
Drink your fruits and vegetables
Instead of reaching for fruit juice, turn whole fruits and vegetables into a nutritious, refreshing drink. Make a smoothie with plain, low-fat yogurt and your favorite frozen fruit. Or puree together banana, berries, lemon, mint, ice and 2 cups of uncooked baby spinach — this green concoction may look unappealing at first, but it tastes delicious!
