Join me in the kitchen as I show you how to make a simple meal with a fun presentation. When you incorporate more plants into your diet you get more nutrition to fuel your body. You do not have to be a vegan to be plant based. You are simply choosing to incorporate more plants and less animals. This meal is so easy to do that with. Cauliflower rice, avocados and cucumbers. You get to decide if you want vegan meat or animal to top it off. I hope you make and enjoy!
Back in the kitchen showing you how to make my favorite raw kale salad. I am not kidding i have made this recipe hundreds of time. Its easy and quick and most plant based eaters and those choosing health will have the ingredients already in their fridge. Once you make this and store it, if you are not feeling it raw it is easy to throw in a saute pan and warm up for a perfect side dish to any supper.
Kale, onions, garlic, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, sea salt
I often get asked how I eat. I refrain from going into large details about my eating because I do not want others to think they have to eat just like me to be successful. I eat based on my needs and goals and it has, so far been working. I do fine tune here and there and have the periods of time I get off track just like others.
I refer to myself as Paleo-Vegan. Which if you know either of those “diets” its a bit of a contradiction to say that. I eat very little meat, consume ghee and collagen, but also eat a whole lot of veggies and healthy fats. I do have an internal struggle with flesh animals and eating them. I do not enjoy preparing them. I drink bone broth but do not make it myself because the bones gross me out. I always choose quality or local but still on occasion, think deeper about the animal and that I am eating an animal and it grosses me out. I also enjoy honey and bee pollen which is not consumed by most vegans.
I grew up on a farm in Indiana and my parents still raise sheep. We would eat lamb on many occasions and it was always on the table on holidays. I knew, yet really didn’t make the connection, that the lamb I might have showed for 4-H was the lamb on my plate. I think that is how we become de-synthesized and able to consume so much meat as a culture. We do not make the connection. It has often been said that we can be fine killing a cow but no way we would think about eating our dog. Why is that?
Now I am not here to convince you to be vegan or vegetarian. But I do want to manipulate you into eating more plants, superfoods, and herbs. :) Being plant based means that bulk of your diet are plants. Veggies, legumes, fruits, and anything that is grown on the earth. Do you currently fall into this category?
I will often say I could be Vegan and eat potato chips with every meal. I would not be eating animal products. Would that be healthy? No way! Now, a plant based vegan says a lot. It is saying you are getting tons of plants, vitamins and minerals (hopefully).
There is always an exception based on goals and health concerns. Those are things I evaluate when guiding a client on their eating style. Our eating might evolve as our health does. Bottom line, you will not get “sicker” eating plants.
Are you a plant based eater?
