Lent is a time of testing and spiritual cleansing. We refuse food containing animal fats and... find ourselves faced with a large selection of plant-based products. But how can we choose from them those that will help us make our diet sufficiently diverse and replace the usual animal products? Let's try to create a more or less familiar menu from plant products. So, let’s start from what we often eat in our ordinary, frugal life.

Since most fasting people do not follow all the rules of fasting down to the subtleties, namely, they do not limit themselves to hot food and vegetable oil, although the rules of Lent recommend doing this, which you can read about in more detail.

In addition, you want to eat a fairly satisfying meal, since you don’t know what awaits you during the day and whether you will be able to find lean food. Before Lent, egg dishes and a variety of curds coped well with all these tasks. Now they are unavailable...

Drinks Usual tea and coffee plant origin, although the milk we add to them is a prohibited product. But now there are many options for vegetable substitutes: almond, coconut, oatmeal, soy... However, fasting is best time bring variety to your life and try drinking herbal infusions, berry drinks, and so on instead of tea and coffee.

You can press mashed potatoes or beans into pita, make cutlets from chickpeas or some vegetables.

We replace meat. Perhaps one of the most difficult problems for meat lovers is to remain without it during Lent. In terms of taste and texture, it’s quite difficult to replace, let’s be honest. We will not accept soy sausage and roast as full-fledged substitutes. But if the meat cannot be replaced according to taste, then in terms of content it is, in principle, possible. Large quantity Protein and vitamins are found in legumes (lentils, chickpeas, beans, peas, mung beans), in some grains (buckwheat, quinoa), they provide good saturation and are perceived as the main dish - eggplants, mushrooms.

To increase the calorie content of your dishes, add some nuts to them; although they are fatty, they contain a lot of protein and vitamins.

Finally, look for plant sources of calcium, iron, and vitamins. Sesame is very good as an addition to salads and vegetables. It contains a lot of calcium.

Seafood. You can fish during Lent only twice, on April 7 at the Annunciation and on Palm Sunday, April 24. But on other days you can eat seafood. Most often they are recommended to be eaten only on weekends, but formally they are not prohibited at all and they can be consumed on any days except those on which you need to eat only raw food.
