If you are passionate about the #MeatlessMonday initiative, this recipe is right up your alley. It consists of wholesome broccoli and mushrooms stir fried with soya sauce and balsamic vinegar, served on fluffy rice and sprinkled with poppy seeds. Simply put, this meal aims to be healthy, pure and – well, meat free.
If you are, like me, kind of aware of what you put in your body – you will quickly find that the internet are loaded with recipes, blogs and pins about clean eating, whole & raw food recipes and of course meat free, vegan and vegetarian recipe ideas.
Don’t get me wrong, I am constantly aware of eating well, but we still eat meat. We try to eat more white meat than fatty red meat, and we try and buy free range, sustainable options. So, yeah, let’s sustain our planets resources, ok?
Stir fry vegetables are probably the second best (other than grilled / roasted) for me, as I rarely get to actually serve veggies as a meal at our dinner table. Husband issues…You can literally add any other veggie you want to perk up your stir fry, endless options awaits. Enjoy!

But please don’t kid yourself that buying ‘free range’ is doing any animal, apart from yourself, any favours. It’s simply a marketing ploy to ease people’s guilt about raising and consuming animals which is completely unnecessary.
More than 1.2 billion animals killed word wide every week, simply for our pleasure
Hi Simon,
Thank you for your comment. You are absolutely right. I think it is so sad that these animals are just killed, to feed us humans, without regret. However, even if I still do eat meat – I try to support those suppliers with an interest, passion and respect for our resources here on earth. I think it is the least we can do, unless if we all go vegan.
Enjoy!
