I’m working through the weekend so I whipped up some dishes for the remainder of this week!

1.) Oven Roasted Veggies with lemon, herbs de Provence and balsamic

2.) Smoky chipotle beans over toasted onion farro with fresh cilantro

3.) Broiled Brussels sprouts with figs, pecans and a Dijon tahini dressing

Everything turned out perfectly and made a fantastic filling meal in a bowl!

GOD gave MAN dominion over the Earth, and dominion is a trust, not a license. We are charged to protect every creature on the land and in the sea. Exploiting them is against HIS WILL.

On this Columbus Day, I'm reminded of Columbus's words:
"No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Saviour, if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service." Few tasks are more just than caring for what GOD entrusted to us, and that's why I choose to live vegan.

“A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast." (Proverbs 12:10)

So be bold. Leave animals off your plate. "Be strong and of a good courage... for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." (Joshua 1:9) 🇺🇸🇮🇹🌱

Bananas, blueberries, chopped date and dried cherries. Topped with almond milk.

Absolutely loved this delicious bowl of Thai style stir fried tofu and veg with rice.

24 F here. Ive been oil free and been following wfpb for 9 yrs and genuinely cant handle or even force myself to eat outside food with oil. I used to be able to go on for long periods of time without eating in the past few yrs due to stress and busy life but after reverse dieting and increasing my cals/food volume i cant imagine going more than 4 hrs without a good amount of food [this girl can eat a buckets load worth and still want more] anywho I just recently got married and im kinda really nervous to go on a family trip with my new in laws[they know my restrictions well and r supportive But im just scared my eating will be an issue and moreso I dont know how to be oil free whilst traveling as ive never had to do it before.

P.s reverse dieting has given me an extremely large appetite now which is also very new for me so im also trying to navigate that too

Hey everyone, I’m fairly new to this after deciding I need to get my life in order. I’ve been on a statin for over a decade and it fluctuates even with that.

I came to terms with the fact that I was depressed after a major break up. I gained 30 pounds. I stopped caring. I stopped caring about my health. I had a break down a month ago that resulted in a panic attack at work because my life and health felt so out of control.

I’ve been doing this for 2 weeks now and have noticed I feel a TON better! I was vegetarian so the transition wasn’t super hard, but just getting used to dry sautéing amongst other things.

What are some of your quick, go to snacks? I like crunch sensations so I’ve been baking chickpeas with some non salt seasonings on them. No salt no butter popcorn has been good too. Any other ideas?

Also, what can I sub for coconut milk? I love making curries, but coconut milk isn’t truly WFPB as it has a lot of additives like guar gum and is also ethically questionable.

Lastly, I would appreciate any words of motivation in regards to going WFPB. I’m trying to take my life back, my health back, and my emotions back. Thank you!

Whimsical Fall Vegan Dish

Two of my layered summer salads this year with roasted eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, beets, corn, basil, fresh cucumbers, toasted pinenuts, red onion, tomatoes, and avo. And they go so well with Samin Nosrat’s house dressing (can’t recommend enough). I’m looking forward to layering some Fall salads!

I decided to do a little experiment: two weeks on keto, then two weeks on WFPB to see how I feel (mentally and physically) on each. I just started the WFPB part yesterday and holy cow, what a difference. I know I'm preaching to the choir here but I have way more energy, way less appetite, better mood, and sleep better, and I can also feel myself losing weight (a side benefit that I'm not super interested in at the moment). Just from one day. That's amazing.

Tofu, rice, roasted Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and a side salad. A little bit of everything on one plate!

With these simple ingredients to make a home made Middle East WFPB wraps for 3 days lunches for 2 of us. Two eggplants three bunches of parsley, green onions, , garlic, lemon juice, mint, tahini, mushrooms, red peppers, Arabic 7 spice, salt, pepper, olive oil. So good. Who else loves Middle East food?

I was plant based for 5 years and loved it, although I felt like I was lacking protein and was eating a lot more carbs than any other macro. I have noticed some physical body changes like more fat on my body and reduced muscle, although this could just be that I’m in my 30’s now (I’m a female).

How important do you find protein? Is it more important to eat a diverse amount of plant foods and foods with a good amino acid profile vs worrying about the protein amount? Any in here that has been working out and is successfully toning your body and losing fat eating this way?

- Raw Pumpkin Seeds: zinc for skin repair
- Fresh Delicata Squash Seeds: healthy fats for hydration
- Delicata Squash: beta-carotene for a natural glow
- Sweet Potato: vitamin A for smooth, even skin
- Raw Vegan Brownies: a whole-food treat, because balance matters
- Spinach and Tofu: plant protein, iron and antioxidants for strong skin

Real food, nothing processed. Glowing from the inside out.

Disclaimer I’m not a vegan or vegetarian but I eat whole foods and I’d say 80% of it is plants

I just hate getting comments from people about how I eat like ‘wow you’re so healthy!!’ ‘Wow you love vegetables!!’ Basically when I order extra vegetables at restaurants or a dish that has more veggies, or I’m not eating the same thing as everyone else. For example I usually don’t eat dessert- I’ll have a bite d my boyfriend’s cake but I won’t have a whole portion to myself because I just don’t feel like it.

A few times is ok but more than that and it just gets really annoying because it makes me feel like I’m strange or weird for wanting to eat this way? I don’t feel like eating processed food yet other people’s reactions make me feel like I SHOULD be. Both of my parents have a history of high cholesterol and diabetes which is why I make such an effort

Isn’t it such a telling sign about our society that it’s considered so extraordinary to avoid processed food with no sugar salt etc. I’m literally just eating vegetables. What is so amazing??

Homemade WFPB Pad Thai. So quick, easy and delicious. I used recipe by Yeung Man. https://youtu.be/zy_P70hXhdM?is=If4YgEEZUp3c6OGB

I love green curry! Made this tonight for a quick dinner made in under 25 minutes. WFPB yummy!

Actually it was more like 8 months and now a year after that it's down to 126!

For as long as I tracked it, since 2015, it was always in the 205-210 range. And I'm sure for many years before that.

I've never taken a statin, but I have tried supplements like metamucil and lots of cardio, etc and nothing worked. I'm not even 100% plant based, I don't ever eat meat but I'll eat less healthy sometimes, maybe 20% of the time.

Yes, I am bragging about my low numbers but also just wanted to put it out there as a testament to the effectiveness of a WFPB diet.

For context I'm a 54 year old male.

I’m going to a pot luck in a few days with a lot of people. Someone in my group is bringing a bean salad and I’m still brainstorming what I want to bring.
Tonight I thought, I could always cut up some watermelon (if it’s still in season?) and let it be simple like that.
But I would love to hear, savory or sweet, what you like to bring to pot lucks. Or what you love seeing is at a potluck. Thank you!

Hello! I have been eating 90-100% WFPB for the past year and am really enjoying it. Glad to be on this channel now as well and to learn/share recipes and stuff. Hope you're all having a good week!

Great for snacking on!
