What Is Plant Based Eating?

Plant based eating encourages eating as much of your diet as possible from whole, minimally processed plant foods. There are no hard and fast rules, foods that are not allowed, and you won’t find calorie limits or carb counts. Plant based eating is a chance to include as many fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds in your diet as you can for optimal nutrition and superior flavor!

Whether you’re looking for a quick smoothie, something to meal prep, or a weekend brunch menu, you’ll find something below in the list of plant based breakfasts!
