Plant Strong: Day 23

adminUncategorized%s Comments

This salad topped off my 23rd day in my journey as a veganista.  Spinach, mixed greens, raspberries, peaches, artichokes, onion, sprouts, topped with a little blood orange balsamic vinaigrette.

I must admit, the 28 Day Plant Strong challenge has gotten more, well, challenging recently.  For the first few weeks, I was psyched- I love veggies and veggies love me!  My fridge was stocked and I pre-made my meals so making vegan choices was super easy.  But as I’ve gotten busier, my fridge has gotten emptier and making food seems so…time consuming.

But tonight’s stop at the grocery was my fruit and veggie revamp.  Lunch for tomorrow is already made, my (above pictured) salad was delish and I’m ready to rock.

Plant Strong for 28 Days

adminUncategorized%s Comments

Whole Foods Market has reached out to some local bloggers to take part in a 28 Day Plant Strong Challenge and yours truly is now officially on board.  Starting tomorrow, I will aiding in Whole Food’s goal of encouraging a healthier lifestyle through healthy eating education and support by blogging about what I’m eating, new recipes I’ve found and loved (or hated) as well as any results of changes in my health I am seeing.

In simple terms?  I am going to be loving on a ton of veggies.

The challenge is based on Rip Esselstyn‘s Engine2 diet and focused on 4 main pillars: whole foods, healthy fats, plant strong eating and nutrient density.  I was actually a vegetarian for a number of years so I know the drill but I am really looking forward to going through this challenge with the support of meetups, recipe exchanges and a legit tool to use.  Healthy eating amped up a bit, I figure.

Despite teaming with Whole Foods, all opinions expressed will be 100% mine.

Stay tuned!
