This trick will make it effortless for you to start eating plant-based today! If you have access to plant-based alternatives like [Beyond Beef](https://www.beyondmeat.com/), [Impossible Meat](https://impossiblefoods.com/locations), or [Soyrizo](https://www.friedas.com/products/soyrizo/), use those the same way you would use ground beef, chicken, or pork in your favorite dishes. That's 100% the easiest way to turn your existing dishes immediately plant-based since you won't have to learn a brand new recipe. It's also a great crutch to have whenever you're craving meat in the early days of trying a plant-based diet.

If you don't have access to plant-based alternatives at your grocery store, another good option is to use bean burgers or [make your own plant-based alternatives](https://rainbowplantlife.com/the-best-vegan-crunchwrap-supreme/) using lentils, mushrooms, walnuts, and onions.

Here are some examples for substituting meat with plant-based alternatives:

## Kimchi Burger

Beyond meat’s twist on a regular cheeseburger — kimchi adds a layer of tangy deliciousness.

## Penne Arrabiata

Arrabiata means “angry” in Italian. That’s right, this recipe from Impossible Foods is for angry pasta.

## Black Bean Burger

Sally’s Baking Addiction offers an option that doesn’t rely on pre-made plant-based patties. Grill or bake the black bean burgers and enjoy on a bun, plain, or on a salad.
