    Oct 29 2024

    Have you seen or had acorn squash before? These squashes look like huge acorns with their round plump globular shapes and even grooved ridges. They are often sold in bins at the grocery store with a dark green appearance, though they may appear in other colors, such as orange and white! If you’re new to the plant-based world, chances are you may not have had a chance yet to cook with this less known squash in your kitchen, or know much about it. It may even be one of those squashes that you have pushed your shopping cart by at the store and never even considered buying.

    That’s why I want to spotlight acorn squash in today’s episode. They are a hidden gem in the squash world and many people don’t know just how nutritious they are…much less how to eat them. So, if you’re curious to find out more about this fall plant-based ingredient, listen in!

  • 71 | How To Spot Sneaky Animal-Based Ingredients Hidden in ‘Plant-Based’ Food Products – Milk & Dairy {Smart Shopping, Label Reading, Grocery Tips, Plant Based, Health, Plantbased Diet, Nutrition}
    Oct 8 2024

    Even if you don’t have a cow’s milk food allergy, it’s hard to miss the fact that many commercially processed food products sold contain cow’s milk-based ingredients in them. That’s because dairy is commonly used by manufacturers to make many of their food products more appealing and taste better. Just think of butter cookies, milk chocolate bars, mac and cheese box kits, hot chocolate drink mixes, and goldfish crackers. Sometimes it seems like milk is used in nearly everything!

    But when you’re trying to move into a full plant-based diet lifestyle or a vegan diet, navigating the commercial foods landscape can get tricky. That’s why I want to help. In this episode, I’ll show you how to easily spot common dairy-based ingredient terms on product packages with real-life examples. Let’s save you precious time and energy when grocery shopping, so you can move smoother and faster into a plant-powered lifestyle. Ready? Let’s dive in!

  • 70 | Do All Vegans or Plant-Based Eaters Have Low Iron Levels? {Plant Based Diet, Nutrition, Iron, Health, Whole Foods, Plantbased Eating, Anemia, Iron Deficiency, Key Nutrients}
    Oct 1 2024

    There’s a common concern I see among those wanting to start a plant-based diet lifestyle. And it’s this. It’s a fear that eating this way will cause them to seriously lack key nutrients, because they’re taking out meats, dairy, eggs and other animal-based foods from their meals. Do you have this fear too?

    If so, iron might be one of those nutrients you are especially worried about when making this big lifestyle shift. Since meats are a source of iron, it’s natural then to be wondering, “Will eating plant-based make me end up with nutrient deficiencies and get health problems like iron deficiency anemia?”

    Let’s talk about it. In this episode, we’ll look at the importance of iron for our bodies, how common iron deficiency anemia really is, and what the recent research is showing. That way, we can better answer this question. I’ll meet you on the inside!
