Avocado and Red Grapefruit Salad — Leigh Beisch/StockFood/Getty Images

Start your week on a healthy note with one or all of these vegetarian recipes.

Breakfast:

Blueberry and Flax Seed Smoothie

Mix up your breakfast routine with a fruit smoothie. This recipe calls for adding some ground flaxseed, which is a great source of omega-3s that keeps your brain sharp and fights cholesterol.

Lunch:

Butter Lettuce and Spinach With Citrus and Avocado

While we are waiting for our favorite summer vegetables, spinach, citrus and avocados are in markets everywhere.

Dinner:

Mushroom, Rajas and Corn Tacos With Queso Fresco

Nearly everyone loves a good taco. If you have never tried the cheeses available in the Mexican section of your market before, start today with a little queso fresco.
