Have you ever thought about going plant-based, but figured it was either too expensive, too much work, or not tasty enough? LA Dunn, plant-based advocate and founder of Black Girls Eat, is determined to prove those assumptions wrong. For Black Girls Eat members, LA shares delicious plant-based recipes, tells stories about her own plant-based journey, and provides advice to families who are trying to transition to a healthier lifestyle.

In this Coach Chat episode, Coach Colette and LA discuss their own food journeys and the swaps they've made away from consuming meat, dairy, and processed foods, to eating more whole foods, vegetables, and grains. They discuss ways to remix your plate that won't take away from the comfort and authenticity of your cultural food favorites. They talk about the struggles for people of color to make healthy choices as we are more likely to live in food deserts. LA describes how she empowers grocery shoppers to invest in foods that make them feel their best. If you've ever thought about changing your diet, or want to hear about how small changes to the way you eat can completely transform your wellbeing, then this episode is for you! LA's energy, humor, and zeal for helping others is infectious, which makes this conversation one to remember.
