Hannah Scott is working to simplify and enjoy plant-based eating for everyone. Although it can be scary, being plant-based doesn’t have to be a radical transformation. Start by adding a couple meals a week and experiment with fresh foods, she counsels.
These are some of Hannah’s best simple and filling beginning recipes:
Vegetable Stir- Fry with Chickpeas
Ingredients include bell peppers, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice, and chickpeas and broccoli.
For a quick and delicious dinner stir-fry the veggies and chickpeas with garlic and ginger. Hannah says, “This dish is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, so ideal for those just starting out with plant-based eating.”
Lentil Bolognese from Italy
This warm spaghetti meal calls for lentils instead of typical beef. Sauté onions, carrots, celery, and garlic; then add cooked lentils, tomato sauce, and herbs. Hannah says, “Lentils are very filling; they make a terrific meat substitute. They are also rather reasonably priced!
Overnight Oats with Almond Butter Ingredients: fresh berries, almond milk, almond butter, oat.
In the morning top with almond butter and berries after mixing oats and almond milk overnight in the refrigerator. “It’s quick, full, plant-based without much effort,” she explains. Ideal for hectic mornings!
Beginning users should have fun experimenting, Hannah advises. “You can enjoy these dishes without being totally plant-based. Try some fresh ideas every week and notice how you feel!
