Even though the shutdown has ended, many food banks and pantries are going to feel its impact for months… 🧵

With so much happening in the world right now, I’m so, so grateful I get to channel my angst into projects that (hopefully) help people in some way. My latest piece highlights 40+ budget-friendly plant-based recipes centered on affordable staples like beans, lentils, and oats. Hope you enjoy ☺️

Eating plant-based doesn’t have to be fancy—it can be about eating nourishing food that fills you up without emptying your wallet 🙂

Between “plant-based,” “vegan,” “vegetarian,” “flexitarian,” and “plant-forward,” it’s no wonder people feel confused. If you—or someone you know—wants help making sense of it all, this post is a great place to start! www.choosemoreplants.com/plant-based-...

Meeting your protein goals with plants is easier than you may think 🌱 In this recent release, Dr. Roxie Becker and I break down exactly how simple (and delicious) it can be—with examples of high-protein plant foods and an example, protein-packed day of eating.

I know I’m about 25+ years late to the party, but I just posted my first HappyCow listing! This officially marks the start of a new addiction 😅

One of my goals this year is to read more books and broaden the genres I explore—novels, essays, and maybe even some poetry. While I’m excited to venture into new territory, as a dietitian, I can’t resist a good health, nutrition, or wellness book. Have any good recommendations? 📚

Over half of surveyed travelers struggled to find healthy food at U.S. airports this past year, and 71% said they’d try plant-based options if available. @plantbasednews.bsky.social featured these findings and some of my tips for navigating airport dining here: plantbasednews.org/lifestyle/tr...

SAP Center going 100% plant-based for Billie Eilish’s two sold-out San Jose shows is music to my ears (pun fully intended) www.mercurynews.com/2024/12/07/b...

Pleasantly surprised to stumble across these in the freezer aisle at Wegmans 😯 I heard Forks Over Knives was launching a whole-food, plant-based frozen food line, but this is my first time seeing them in person. For those who’ve tried them—what’re your thoughts?

Forks Over Knives was one of the first documentaries that got me thinking about going vegan. Despite being released in 2011, it’s still such a powerful watch. If you’re interested in a plant-based dietitian’s perspective on the film, here’s my full take: www.choosemoreplants.com/review-forks...

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans may soon emphasize plant-based eating like never before. These guidelines influence many key areas, including school lunches, healthcare policy, and industry trends. This Forks Over Knives piece covers the news further 🌱 www.forksoverknives.com/wellness/die...

Plant Based News just covered research from the Physicians Committee showing that a low-fat vegan diet can cost nearly 20% less than the standard American diet. See how plant-based eating can boost your health AND save you money.💰 @plantbasednews.bsky.social plantbasednews.org/lifestyle/fo...

I’m excited to bring Choose More Plants to Bluesky! ☺️ This platform feels so promising, and I can’t wait to connect with more people in the vegan and plant-based space. 🌱
