What is the Flexitarian Diet?

The flexitarian diet is a plant-based diet with the occasional addition of meat.

Flexitarians are also known as flexible vegetarians, casual vegetarians or vegivores. Quite simply there are no rules. Some will have a meat-free meal once a week while others will only eat meat and other animal products such as fish or dairy on rare occasions.

The flexitarian diet is increasing in popularity especially with people who do not want to commit to a full vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. A semi-vegetarian diet often feels less daunting to embrace, allowing flexibility to adapt to individual lifestyle, social life or health conditions.

Surprisingly the adepts of flexitarianism are not only people who want to reduce their meat consumption but also vegetarians or vegans who decide to reintroduce meat into their diet. Find out more


The Flexitarian Pantry

Is your pantry ready to embrace your new flexitarian lifestyle?

The secret to any diet change is not to be caught short otherwise you can quickly revert to old ways.  The flexitarian diet is no different.

Stock up your fridge and pantry with all the ingredients you need. Having different kinds of ingredients available will surely inspire you to try new meat-free recipes and switch to a more plant-based diet. Find out more

Vegan and gluten-free, this flavoursome courgette dip is made with courgettes, tahini, mint and parsley. Delicious with raw vegetables and pitta bread but also perfect in wraps, this dip makes a nice addition to a mezze platter.

Many Middle-Eastern courgette dips use yoghurt but this vegan version is completely dairy-free. Do not hesitate to play around with the amount of mint and parsley to suit your own taste.

Grab the recipe on the blog. Link in my bio.

These roasted tomato tartlets are the perfect summer treat  So easy to make and absolutely delicious.  I’ve used @nurishh.uk new Plant-Based Garlic & Herbs Spread. It tastes amazing and adds just the right amount of creaminess to this recipe. |AD|

Free from dairy, Nurishh Plant-Based Garlic & Herbs Spread, available exclusively at Waitrose, is made with sunflower seeds & bamboo fibre. Bursting with flavour, it's rich in fibre and a source of calcium and vitamin B12 - I was really impressed by how tasty it is. Fancy trying it? You are in luck!

Nurishh is running a ‘Try Me Free’* campaign (purchase between 6th June – 14th August, claim by 31st August) where anyone can try any of the following products: Mozzarella Style Block, Cheddar Style Slices, Cheddar & Mozzarella Style Grated Blend, Gran Vegiano, and Plant-Based Garlic & Herbs Spread. Simply purchase a Nurishh product with a ‘Try Me Free’ sticker on the pack from Sainsbury’s, Co-op, Asda, Waitrose or Ocado and submit your receipt & details on www.nurishh-trymefree.com (*T&Cs apply)

It's a really exciting way to try Nurishh for yourself, whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, flexitarian or simply go with the flow. Here is the recipe

INGREDIENTS
320g puff pastry sheet
Dairy-free alternative to milk
400g cherry tomatoes, halved 
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
2 x 130g tub Nurishh Plant-Based Garlic & Herbs Spread
Basil
Balsamic glaze

METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 200C.
- Roll out pastry on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Cut 4 rectangles. Brush with dairy-free alternative to milk.
- With a sharp knife draw a 1.5cm border around each rectangle. Prick the middle of each tartlet with a fork.
Place tomatoes on an oven tray, drizzle some olive oil and season.
- Bake tomatoes for 20-25 mins and tartlets for 25 mins.
- Spread 1 generous tablespoon of Nurishh Plant-Based Garlic & Herbs Spread in each tartlet. Top with tomatoes, basil + balsamic glaze. Eat warm or cold.

It's #MeatFreeMonday 😊🙌
These vegan courgette and corn fritters are lightly spiced with cumin, fresh coriander, lemon juice and mild chilli powder. I like to serve them with some dairy-free yoghurt and sweet chilli sauce drizzled all over, as well as some finely chopped spring onion.

These courgette and corn fritters contain no eggs, dairy or gluten. They are made with gram flour (also known as chickpea flour) which you can find in most supermarkets or ethnic stores. Gram flour is naturally gluten-free and high in plant-based protein.

I have tried this recipe with plain flour, plain flour + eggs and gram flour. I prefer the texture with gram flour but if you do not have any, plain flour works as well.

You can find the recipe on the blog. Link in my bio.

This Rhubarb & Strawberry Chia Pudding is the perfect summer  vegan dessert but you can also eat it for breakfast. Sweetened with maple syrup and the natural sugars of fruits, it is really fresh and light.

A one-pot wonder this vegan sweet potato & chickpea Moroccan stew, makes a quick and healthy family meal. I like to serve it with couscous (or quinoa) topped with plenty of sliced almonds, freshly chopped coriander, mint, (dairy-free) yoghurt and red chilis. This dish is also great on its own served with flatbread.â €
â €
Bright and colourful, this is such a feel-good and comforting recipe. The spices bring out the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes.â €
