1. Vegetarian recipes for breakfast

Start the day with a glass of lemon water

Cut a lemon quarter and put it in a glass with eight ounces of water. Add a very small pinch of cayenne pepper powder. Lemons, like all citrus fruits, have an interesting amount of vitamin C that, according to different studies, would help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

On the other hand, lemon is rich in soluble fiber, a substance that, when ingested on a regular basis, would be related to lower body weight and better digestion.

Regarding cayenne, a 2014 study observed that those who consume it with each meal experience a greater sensation of satiety and fewer cravings.

Vegetarian green drink

In a blender, combine the following ingredients:

• 6 to 8 ounces of plain water.
• 4 ounces of original or unsweetened rice milk.
• 1 tablespoon powdered “green drink” – There are many green powder drink options at local health food stores. In general, they are usually rich in polyphenols and other plant compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions.
• 1 tablespoon of liquid chlorophyll (according to a small study it may help decrease the intake of aflatoxin, a compound that causes cancer. However, more research is needed on this). You can also use mint-flavored chlorophyll.

• 1 tablespoon of flax seed oil. It contains omega 3, 6, 9 and fatty acids that promote the well-being of the whole body. Hemp seed oil can also be used.
• 1 tablespoon of raw soy lecithin grains. According to popular wisdom, it would be beneficial for the brain, nerve function and energy production.
• 2 ounces of aloe vera juice or gel. It would favor digestion. However, the studies are not conclusive.

Whichever cereals you choose, make sure the ingredient list does not include high fructose corn syrup as it poses a risk of obesity and diabetes.

2. Vegetarian recipes for snacks

The combination of goji berries, raw chocolate tips, and almonds can give you the energy you need to end your day well.

According to the Spanish Nutrition Foundation, almonds are a source of healthy fats, while a 2011 study indicated that goji berries are rich in antioxidants, compounds that the body uses to fight free radicals.

3. Vegetarian recipes for lunch

Sandwiches and rolls are easy vegetarian recipes to make. For this, you can do any combination with:

• a vegan bread or vegan mayonnaise wrap
• mustard
• chickpea puree (they provide vegetable protein)
• avocado (source of healthy fats)
• spinach (rich in folates, vitamin C, and vitamin A and vitamin E)
• alfalfa sprouts
• tomato

Avocado is an alkaline food, which would mean that it could be good for your body’s pH.  After cutting an avocado in half and removing its pit, you will be left with two pieces of it. So you can enjoy adding fresh sauce or tabouli to each one.
