Step by step

Find a meat-free recipe you think the whole family will enjoy. Or you can pick one from our PSL Kitchen selection, you'll even score double goal for that! Buy any ingredients you don't already have.

Cook it. Ideally with an assistant chef. When it's on the table, don't forget to take a photo of yourselves with your meal before it's all gobbled up!

How was it? Can you go meat-free once a week and score more goals for your club?

Is fish meat-free?

No, afraid not. Fish are part of the animal kingdom and not allowed for this challenge.

How many ingredients should we use?

To score the goal you'd need to show a picture of your dish. The number of ingredients doesn't matter.

Can you give some ideas for plant-based or veggie recipes?

It doesn't need to be fancy. And it doesn't need to take long. Beans on toast is as veggie as it gets.

If you feel more adventurous, here are some recommendations, from local supermarkets:

But Ronaldo eats meat, doesn't he?

Apparently, but wait til he signs up for Planet Super League. He is so determined to win everything he does, he'll probably go vegan from day one.
