Low in saturated fat and cholesterol, celery makes a great base for a whole range of vegetable dishes – once cooked until soft, its peppery taste can add real punch. It’s also great as the star of soups, salads, wraps and as crunchy crudités to accompany dips.
Strawberries are naturally anti-inflammatory and packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, strawberries can help repair damaged skin by strengthening collagen. They are also high in fibre for heart and digestive health.
Bold and beautiful, beetroot is full of fibre and folic acid, not to mention iron, calcium and vitamins A and C.
Grown in water (the clue’s in the name!), watercress’ slightly bitter, peppery flavour can give salads a kick in a similar way to rocket, while its elegant little leaves can garnish a curry or savoury pancake in style!
Packed with vitamins A and C, peppers can be enjoyed raw in salads, used as a pizza topping, stuffed, roasted, and cooked in stir fries, ratatouilles, soups, sauces and stews.
Crisp and crunchy with a peppery kick, radishes are low in calories and carbs, and full of vitamins and minerals. If you like things milder, try a white radish such as daikon (popular in Japanese cuisine).
New potatoes are freshly harvested young potatoes which keep their shape once cooked and cut. There’s no need to peel new potatoes – just rinse away any dirt, bring to the boil in lightly salted water and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
“We know that this is THE most important thing we can do to save our earth, and it’s also the best thing we can do for our health. Plus it’s so yummy! Join me on this adventure of plant-based living and please be meat-free Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and if you can only do Monday we’ll be OK with that too. The more the merrier, thank you!”
— Alicia Silverstone
“Try it, you might like it … and the planet definitely will appreciate it.”
— Woody Harrelson
“I grew up in the ‘meat and two veg’ era but there’s so much more choice now in terms of plant-based food – it’s far more exciting on the plate! I’m consciously reducing how much meat I eat, and that’s no bad thing for the planet and all of us living on it.”
— Ainsley Harriott
“Meat Free Monday is a simple idea which makes so much sense! By not eating meat at least one day a week we help the environment, save animals and improve our health. Try it, get your friends and family to try it and why not encourage your school to try it too?”
— Fearne Cotton
“Meat Free Mondays is a great idea though I live meat free every day. Being vegetarian is good for your body, good for the planet and a peace and loving thing to do.”
— Ringo Starr
“Thank you for inspiring the way I live my life now. Even if you’re not veggie, vegan or plant-based, reducing our meat and dairy consumption, even for just one day a week, has a positive impact on our planet, the animals we share it with and our own personal health.”
— Gabrielle Aplin
“I believe meat has so many toxins in it that your body never really manages to get rid of it. People believe that you have to have protein and bulk to give you energy, but fruit and vegetables are full of health. Your body processes these efficiently so they do the maximum good for you. You feel so well, light, supple, and full of energy.”
— Vivienne Westwood
“It’s a great initiative and an opportunity for us to really reduce meat consumption that not only saves our lives but saves our planet. Let’s continue to move towards a Meat Free Monday!”
— Eric Adams

Around 60% of the world’s agricultural land is used for beef production, yet beef produces less than 2% of the world's calories.
I've been getting my family to go meatless at least 3 times a week. It's healthier for everyone and better for the planet.
Vickie
Meat Free Monday has given me the opportunity to educate myself on foods that I would not have usually have eaten before.
George
It keeps me creative in the kitchen, and I am helping reduce my impact.
Rebecca
Previously dinner planning always started with ‘what meat’, and the rest of the meal was built around it. Meat Free Monday helps change that mindset.
Kristina
Meat Free Monday is a great initiative to encourage people to have a healthier diet, save animals and the planet for at least once a week.
