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

‘HOT CROSS BUN SEASON 🐰🤍
This year I’m making my usual #vegan hot cross buns because why change a good thing 😉
If you’re not a sultana fan you can make them with any dried fruit - cranberries and dates would be delicious ✨ and serve with @ceresorganics almond butter or @nuttelexspread
I’m excited to see your re-creations again this year! feel free to share this recipe by tagging your friends below 😘 👏🏼
Eden Vegan’s Hot Cross Bun Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp dry yeast
1 tsp white sugar
1 1/2 cups of warm oat milk
3 cups flour
1 Tbsp all spice
1 Tbsp cinnamon
Zest of one lemon
Zest of one orange
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup dried sultanas
1/4 cup sugar (or sweetener of your choice)
1/4 cup oat milk if the mixture needs more liquid
Method:
1. Combine the yeast, white sugar and luke warm oat milk in a large mixing bowl. Set aside for 5-10 minutes until it starts to foam.
2. Add all remaining ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Making sure to fold the flour well until reaching a dough like consistency. If the mixture is too sticky, add extra four 1 tbsp at a time.
3. Lightly flour a benchtop and knead the dough for 5-8 minutes before placing in a well oiled bowl to rise. Set aside in a warm sunny place, covered with a damp tea towel. It should double in size in 1-2 hours.
4. Once the dough has risen divide into small bun sized balls. This mixture can make 12 hot cross buns, depending on the size you'd like.
5. Place the rolled dough side by side in a baking paper lined tray. Ideally one with sides to help them rise in a nice format.
6. Pre heat the oven to 200 degrees and set the tray of dough aside to rise for a further 30 minutes.
7. Mix 2 tbsp flour with 2 tsp water in a small mixing bowl and pipe onto the buns in cross formation. Make sure the mix paste like so it remains in a cross form.
8. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. Baste with maple syrup or jam for the delicious sticky gloss look.’ ...

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.
