Putting together the words 'flexible' and 'vegetarian', a flexitarian diet is one which is mainly vegetarian that allows animal ingredients to be included every now and then. It is often referred to as 'casual vegetarianism,'
Flexitarians only allow the occasional meat dish, trying to focus mainly on plant-based foods. This is often for personal reasons, to be more eco-friendly or to become more sustainable with what food an individual eats.

The brilliant thing about the flexitarian diet is that you don't have to leave meat out completely. This means that you can enjoy a few meat-based meals such as our HelloFresh Roasted Chicken Breast with Beetroot and Quinoa Salad without any issues. The main aim is to prioritise vegetarian meals throughout the week, and make your inclusion of meat proteins to a minimum where possible.
What the flexitarian diet lacks in meat, it can make up for in flavour. Compensating the meat with plant-based ingredients or cheeses, our vegetarian recipes are often bursting with flavours, spices and herbs that ensure you're not missing out on anything delicious. With the inclusion of some meat dishes, it means you get the best of both worlds with the flexitarian diet - allowing you to enjoy a huge amount of recipes available from HelloFresh.
Trying to eat a healthy, balanced diet can be difficult. A flexitarian diet relies heavily on fruits, vegetables and plant-based foods that will help getting your 5-a-day much easier. With HelloFresh recipes, you can make the most of healthier ingredients, ensuring you're still creating some of your favourite meals - just with vegetables at the forefront.
A huge benefit of the flexitarian diet is its flexibility. Rather than quitting meat 'cold-turkey', this option allows you a more controlled way of reducing the amount of meat you eat, whilst still being able to enjoy all the foods you love. The diet allows a focus on vegetarian meals, allow you to extend your palate whilst not omitting key proteins from your meals.
