Lent is the longest and strictest throughout the year. Not everyone can survive 7 weeks by eating only lean food. To save the body from stress and diversify the lean menu, you must adhere to some rules and recommendations.
Cereals, pasta, rice and potatoes are foods that are consumed in excess during fasting, in addition to them, it is recommended to consume the following foods:
- legumes. Beans, peas and lentils hold the record for the content of vegetable protein; in addition, legumes contain many vitamins and trace elements, as well as easily digestible amino acids, which serve as building blocks for our cells.
- root crops. All villagers and some city dwellers store carrots and beets, radishes and turnips for the winter. In ancient times, these root vegetables were the main products for lean dishes, so they can be used to make soups, stews, casseroles, and various salads.
-. To give a familiar dish a new and unique taste, feel free to add a variety of seasonings to them. They not only add flavor and aroma to food, but also make it more satisfying and nutritious.
-. It is not necessary to give up your favorite muffin, only it is necessary to cook it without butter and eggs. These products can easily replace fruits and berries, nuts, dried fruits and gelatin. One of the tasty and healthy desserts is jelly, which is made from berries, fruits and oatmeal.
- for example, from nuts and soy. Plant-based milk can be used to make desserts, cereals, puddings, and so on.
-. In addition to the cereals we are used to, you can cook many different dishes: buckwheat with mushrooms and onions, lean pilaf with dried fruits, millet porridge with berries, and so on.
- apples. In addition to fresh fruits, they can be eaten baked with nuts, honey, cinnamon, caramel, and more. Baked apples are another option for a lean dessert, adding and combining some ingredients can create delicious new dishes every time.
