Chocolates are a common treat that most people would refrain from indulging in, while some opt to spend less time on their phones or their gadgets. Whatever you’re abstaining from this lent, if you’re a Catholic, then you’re sure to shy away from meat dishes on Fridays. 

Lent may seem like a big sacrifice especially if you’re giving up some of your favourite things (which are most likely food), but indulging less doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy a good meal. To get you by, here’s a list of abstinence-friendly food:

Kale-sadilla from Mooshi Green Bar

One of my go-to food spots to grab a healthy meal or snack is Mooshi Green Bar. Even when it isn’t Lent, I find myself gravitating towards this small kiosk situated smack-dab in the middle of the mall. They offer an array of choices, but my favourite is their kale-sadilla (yes, the wordplay gets me everytime, too).

Just like your regular quesadilla, it has onions, bellpeppers and cheese, but Mooshi’s version has kale instead of meat and adds red kidney beans for more texture. Served with tomato salsa on the side, it’s a very filling meal that won’t have you thinking of meat.

A cone of fruit gelato from La Vie

Maybe you’re abstaining from chocolate or dairy, but La Vie’s spread of gelato can give you alternatives. They’re known for their take on combining balut and gelato together (which to be honest, I quite liked given that I wouldn’t eat a big amount of it), yet they have other flavours you wouldn’t see in your usual local creameries, like wasabi (which was very good too) and cookie dough.

Their fruit gelato are especially delicious; on top of that, they’re not too sweet either, perfect for lent.

A bottle of green juice from TONIQ Juice Bar

Put that glass of coke down…or that cup of coffee. If you’re trying to abstain from drinks that give you energy, TONIQ’s juices are a perfect alternative. The company bases all their products on the principles of a Holistic Lifestyle wherein it aims to restore the body through food. That means you’re able to get the energy you need but through a much healthier way.

Fish and chips from Casa Verde

Fish is the immediate alternative to meat during Lent and you’re bound to look for more flavours over time. Casa Verde’s fish and chips are savoury and flavourful, a different approach to your typical just-salted-then-fried fish. If you’re getting weary of fish, you can easily pick from the seafood dishes available on their menu.
