With the recent introduction of so many new meat substitutes at the grocery store and even fast food chains, you’ve probably heard the terms “plant-based” and “plant-based protein” before. Plant-based diets may seem intimidating, but the concept is actually very simple. According to Harvard Medical School, a plant-based diet is an eating pattern that prioritizes fruits, vegetables, beans and legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains. Unlike a vegetarian or vegan diet, plant-based eating doesn’t necessarily mean you’re cutting out all meat and dairy products, but instead consuming less of those foods. Plus, a plant-based diet can reduce your environmental footprint, all while providing your body with all natural goodness and nutrients. Use our tips and tricks below to add more delicious plants to your daily diet.
