40 MAY 2022 O ne of my favorite reasons for eating plant-based is the incredible energy it gives you. Say goodbye to snoozing the alarm and sluggish afternoons. When we provide our body with enough of the right nutrients, it runs all day long without a hitch. How do you do this? Start by shooting for ten servings of produce per day. Each snack and meal should balance protein, fat and fiber. Fiber is a key component, and 97 percent of people do not get enough. This is where plants come in! Here are a few examples: Breakfast: Avocado toast, oatmeal with non- dairy milk and fruit, tofu scramble, veggie scramble with black beans, Ezekiel toast with almond butter and blueberries Lunch: Buddha bowls with veggies, chickpea mash sandwich, falafel, quinoa salad, lentil salad Dinner: Bean chili, lentil tacos, tofu noodle bowl, green goddess pasta, plant- based chili mac Memorial Day usually involves get-togethers with lots of food.
