Healthy Monday @ UR
Week #3: Meatless Monday
- Every Monday is a Meatless Monday in Douglass Dining Center. Come to the Healthy Monday Meatless Monday dinner at Douglass Dining Center on the third Monday of every month to enjoy food that will help you stay healthy and reduce your carbon footprint. It's good for you and good for the planet!
- While the emphasis will be on meatless options, there will be options for people who want to eat meat. The Meatless Mondays are a good time to try to substitute fish and/or plant-based proteins for red meat without avoiding any food group.
- Look for the Healthy Monday table for resources and information on the third Monday of every month.
Join us for our MEATLESS MONDAY Dinners in Douglass each month!!
