Around here, plant based means MOST of the foods we eat are from plant sources. They grow on a tree, a vine, in the ground, etc. These foods include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, legumes and beans. Oils are included, too!

Plant-based also means that if the foodie wants to, they can incorporate smaller amounts of animal products, like meat, fish, seafood, eggs and even dairy. I actually recommend this style of eating to anyone who doesn’t have strict dietary needs. 

It’s always best to consult a doctor for specific dietary wants and needs. I’m just a mama of four on a mission to show herself some TLC and makin’ delish plant-based recipes and meals.
