The best iron rich vegetarian recipes

As a vegetarian, I’m always looking for iron rich vegetarian meals to keep me fit and strong. I eat fairly healthily and usually cook from scratch but I have had low iron since pregnancy.

I’ve asked my fellow bloggers for their iron rich vegetarian meal ideas and they haven’t disappointed! Click the link or the picture to take you to the recipes.

Beetroot, Goat’s Cheese and Walnut Salad.

Now I don’t know about you but I really don’t think you can beat a delicious salad on a summer’s evening, sat outside on a balmy evening with a glass of crisp white wine in hand! This is such a classic combination. Delicious.

Aubergine and Spinach Slow Cooker Curry

In my family we all love curry and so it’s really nice to have one that is so tasty that meat eaters and vegetarians alike can enjoy it without feeling there is anything lacking. The fact that it’s also rich in iron is a huge bonus.

Quick and Easy 15 Minute Vegan Pad Thai

Yum yum yum! Having travelled extensively around Thailand in my younger years and done a cooking course there as well, I have a real taste for authentic Thai cooking and it’s brilliant to find a recipe that is vegetarian as so many rely in fish sauce for the flavour.

Rich Lentil Soup – One Pot Super Meal.

Lentils are something that I really didn’t like in my younger years but I now love them as an adult. It’s all about the flavours you put with them and how long you cook them for. No-one likes mushy bland lentils but with a little time and love they can be flavour packed bites of heaven with a huge number of health benefits.

Aubergine and Lentil Salad

Another one with lentils but this includes another favourite of mine, aubergine. I absolutely love it when it’s cooked well.

Syn Free Butternut Squash and Spinach Risotto

Anyone trying to follow a well known popular diet plan will appreciate this dish. Risottos are such a staple for simple meals, they don’t have to be many hour long affairs if you don’t want them to be!

Sweet Potato, Coconut and Tomato Dahl

I love love love daal! Again with the lentils and I’m here for it! I think this might be my favourite thing to eat when we order takeaway or anything with chickpeas, another favourite of mine.

There is also my delicious roasted butternut squash to try too! Now I don’t know about you but this has made me very very hungry! I’m struggling to narrow down what to try first, I just know that these iron rich vegetarian meals are going to taste amazing and make me feel fabulous to boot!
