Tip of the Week: Use raw cacao in recipes instead of cocoa. Raw cacao has 20-30x more antioxidants than green tea, is high in serotonin (the happy hormone!), high in omega 3 fatty acids and is one of the most magnesium rich foods. Try it in 5 ingredient chocolate pudding, Very Berry Dessert in a Hurry, and Healthy and Sweet Breakfast Pâté.
My Plant-Based Life
A Word About This Blog
My family and I eat a plant-based diet. That means we eat only fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and a small amount of nuts and seeds. We do this because we believe it is the diet that contributes the most to good health and helps us avoid disease. So that said, you will not find any recipes here that include meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs or overly processed foods. What we eat comes directly from the earth. What follows are my thoughts, ideas, research, recipes and photos as I create beautiful, nutrient-dense meals and strive to live in a healthy way. I hope you find inspiration and enjoy the tales of My Plant-Based Life.
