Eating an exclusively plant-based diet is the most health-promoting, sustainable, and compassionate way of eating. Yet, it comes along with certain stigmas, such as it being expensive, difficult, or boring. Alas, these myths couldn’t be further from the truth! There are infinite delicious combinations of legumes, vegetables, whole grains, fruits, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices to satisfy any palate. It can easily be done on a budget and full meals can be whipped up in a mere few minutes. Allow me to debunk these delusions and illustrate just how inexpensive, easy, and exciting eating vegan really is…

    I’m new to the vegan world and I’m a foodie and an eater. I never realized that I’d have more options than when I was an omnivore. I can’t wait to make so many things I see here. I’m having trouble just choosing.

    1. Isn’t that the best problem to have? Too many options! I felt the same way when I changed my diet and was shocked by that! Enjoy the nutritious deliciousness!
