1 Dish Across Different Dietary Patterns: Pescatarian/Pollotarian/ Vegan/Vegetarian

A lot of times clients tell me they are considering becoming vegetarian or vegan to lead a healthier lifestyle. I often recommend they try various meals in the specific dietary pattern they are considering before making a sharp transition.

I believe eating meals across different dietary patterns, cultural cuisines, and meal plans cultivates healthy views of food and food’s purpose in our life. I feel expanding our food choices helps us examine what we are eating and why we are eating specific foods and most significantly, increases nutrient diversity. Wednesday

Below I listed some dishes that can be made using dairy or dairy alternatives and prepared to suit individual dietary preferences.

  • Creamy mushroom soup with heavy cream, nut milk, or yogurt using meat-based broth or vegetable-based broth.
    • Pescatarian – use dairy or dairy alternative, fish stock or vegetable broth, and add fish or shrimp
    • Pollotarian – use dairy or dairy alternative, chicken or vegetable broth, and add chicken
    • Vegan – use a dairy alternative, vegetable broth, and mushroom
    • Vegetarian – use dairy or dairy alternative, vegetable broth, and mushroom
  • Creamy pasta with cow’s milk, milk alternative, or yogurt base.
    • Pescatarian – use dairy or dairy alternative, fish stock or vegetable broth, and add fish or shrimp
