1. How long have you been eating plant-based? For 1 year, then stopped for a couple of months and now has been vegan for six months. I will be a vegan for life now. I want my kids to be vegan also.
2. What made you decide to go plant-based? The first time was for health. That was before I knew about the animals. I was running and I was interested in good nutrition. I did a lot of research and thought this was something to try. Now that I have learned more about the animals and how they are treated I also do it for the animals but for all the reasons now…health, world peace, the environment and the animals are all good reasons to follow a vegan diet.
3. What are the benefits eating plant-based have done for you? I did have a bit more energy but other than that didn’t notice any difference in how I felt.
4. What did you find to be the biggest challenge of eating plant-based?
Other people not eating this way. They thought it was just a fad but it’s not. My family is not vegan but they are supportive of my choice now.
5. What are your go to foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Breakfast: Either a smoothie, smoothie bowl or oatmeal are my three top go-to foods for breakfast. Lunch: Rice, tofu, broccoli, any type of sandwiches make of tofu or PB&J sandwich with veggies on the side. Dinner: Big burrito bowls with beans and rice, sometimes homemade pizza. or I will eat the same things I eat for lunches. NOTE: Here is her recipe for Rice, tofu and broccoli she shared with us for our website: PlantsareBest.com
