FAQs about Gousto’s meal boxes for vegetarians
How to add protein to vegetarian meals?
Adding plant-based protein to vegetarian meals doesn’t have to be difficult. There are plenty of plant-based ingredients that provide high-quality protein to help you feel full, build muscle, and stay energised. Some of these ingredients include: lentils, chickpeas, peanuts and tofu. For inspiration on how to include these into your dishes, check out these great sources of protein for a vegetarian diet.
How to make easy vegetarian meals?
Easy vegetarian recipes start with good basics and bold flavours. Focus on fresh vegetables, hearty grains, and simple protein sources like beans, lentils, or tofu. From there, it’s all about layering taste — think creamy sauces, punchy dressings, or a sprinkle of herbs and spices to bring everything to life.
If you’re short on time, try 10-minute options like one-pan curries, hearty grain bowls, or speedy pasta dishes. Batch-cooking roasted veg or prepped grains also makes throwing together a weekday dinner effortless.
How many vegetarian meals can I choose from?
With Gousto, you can choose from over 185 vegetarian and plant-based recipes every month, so there’s always something new to try. Whether you’re after quick weeknight wins, hearty comfort dishes, or global flavours to mix things up, you’ll find plenty of options to suit your taste.
Is Gousto healthy?
Yes, Gousto is healthy! We makes it easy to eat well without giving up on flavour. You’ll find a wide range of healthy recipes, including low-calorie, high-protein, and balanced meals designed to suit different goals and lifestyles.
The Health Hub on the menu brings all these options together, so you can filter recipes by what matters most to you, no matter if that’s cutting calories, boosting fibre, or packing in more veg. From light stir-fries and vibrant salads to wholesome curries and nourishing bowls, there’s plenty to choose from if you’re looking to eat a little lighter while still enjoying every bite.
