A plant-based diet is one that emphasizes fresh, seasonal, whole ingredients while being conscious of how your food choices and habits affect the planet. It doesn’t necessarily mean vegan or even vegetarian–you can still have occasional lean meats, eggs and dairy if you choose. Following a flexible plant-based diet isn’t about excluding foods from your diet–it’s about adding new items that will benefit your body. By simply eating a greater variety of vegetables and subbing in alternative protein sources–such as lentils, beans, nuts and seeds–you’ll discover new and delicious foods, and improve your health too!
