It’s Meatless Monday! Would you believe these meatballs are a meatless blend of mushrooms and buckwheat? With so many plant-based options that you can use in place of meat, planning a Meatless Monday meal is easier than ever before.

You can finely chop mushrooms, tofu, and beans as replacement for ground meats. Jackfruit can be used in place of shredded chicken or pork. Tofu and tempeh can be sliced to replace strips of meat.

There are also many brands of meat analogs or prepared meat alternatives available these days, including MorningStar Farms, Gardenburger, Beyond Meat, Before the Butcher, Gardein, Yves Veggie Cuisine, Lightlife, Quorn, Neat Meat, and others. The options and flavor profiles feel endless.
