What's the simplest way to start eating more plants? SWAP + ADD method. Here's what you do… Ask yourself: What can I add to this meal to make it more plant-based? What can I swap out of this meal to make more plant-based? Not every meal needs to be swap/added. You'll drive yourself crazy! But it is a good start to thinking about making simple changes to eat more plants. Here’s an idea for dinner time: SWAP crispy tofu for chicken in stir-fries. ADD edamame, colorful veggies and a dash of toasted sesame seeds.

Have you noticed the prices of produce lately? Shocking, right? Walking through the market has you second-guessing what you want to put into your cart. Because it’s frustrating when you open up your refrigerator days later and find something wilting or rotting in the back. You spent good money on it! And now it’s going in the trash. As a plant-based eater, I feel your pain. I can’t tell you how much produce I’ve thrown away these past few years. You buy it for a recipe, using a small portion. You tuck it away with the best intentions. You throw it away days later. Can you relate? Simple hacks that make your fruits and veggies go further #plantbased #veganuary https://lnkd.in/gsArcbZC

Veggie Broth A really good veggie broth can complement some ingredients, and transform some dishes to the next level. We have found that some of our lentil dishes and soups are much better when we use our veggie broth over chicken or other broth. While it does take some work to save and collect the kale and mushroom stems, the scraps from asparagus, and other unused parts, it is definitely worth the effort.

Top Tip Tuesday: turn leftover mash into gluten free, dairy free waffles 🧇 If you've got a waffle maker, simply stir some dried of fresh chopped herbs to leftover mash, brush a little oil onto the waffle maker, add the mash and cook for around 8 minutes. Then top how you wish. I've added avocado and poached egg, sunflower seeds, spring onions and tomatoes. You could add chilli, pesto, cheese, bacon, smoked salmon with cream cheese and red onion etc. Yummy way to make healthier waffles, use up leftovers and make a tasty breakfast, lunch or dinner! #zerowaste #leftovers #toptip

Who doesn't love a good soup this time of year? With the holidays upon us, we tend to make a lot of dishes that require peeled vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes. Don’t throw them away! They are a great source of nutrients and make an amazing soup. Collect vegetable scraps such as carrot peels, onion skins, celery leaves, and potato peels. Add them to a pot with some water, salt, and herbs. Let it simmer for an hour or so, then strain the broth. You can use this vegetable stock as a base for soups, stews, and sauces. It's a great way to reduce food waste while adding flavor and nutrition to your recipes. #Foodwasteandrepurposing #nutritiontalks #tipsforzerowaste #foodfindersinc #LBrecovers #healthyactivelongbeach #LBCC #vikingvault
