“So why are you plant based?” I get asked this often. I eat this way for my health.
A 30-day juice challenge back in 2012 was the start and it changed everything for me. I made fresh pressed juice for breakfast every morning and kept adding more days. At some point I no longer had the desire for sugar and other foods that honestly didn’t make me feel good after eating them. I had already stopped eating pork and red meat years before and eventually stopped eating chicken and seafood. In 2016 I became 100% #plantbased. No meat, no eggs, no dairy. People still make comments about me missing out, but I don’t look at it that way at all. I am more creative in the kitchen as I recreate some of my old favorite dishes using ingredients I would have never used before like different mushrooms, jackfruit, banana blossoms and cashew based cheese. Have you ever cooked with any of these?
