Shape Magazine’s recognition of heart healthy seeds has made me so happy.
We should all be aware of the benefits behind these seeds, and start adding them into our diets daily.
Speaking of incredible super foods, Kasey and Heather have put together an amazing challenge for the month of October called #plantPOWER, which is based around the benefits of eating a plant based diet.
follow both their blogs and instagrams for inspiration and ideas on how to create a meal using plant proteins, healthy fats and energizing carbs.
While I don’t plan on going 100% plant based, I am making an effort to eat at least one meal a day that does not contain any animal proteins,(meat, eggs, dairy). It’s just another way to incorporate a variety of nutrients into my diet, and I’m loving it so far.
Hemp seeds and Nutritional yeast in my salads and soup
Peanut Flour mixed with Sunwarrior (plant based protein), as a dip for fruit, or spread onto a rice cake
toasted pumpkin seeds, tofu teriyaki, avocado spread onto Ezekiel bread with tomato, and sweet potato topped with coconut oil…
The options are endless, colorful, flavorful, and filling. Not to mention packed with energy, vitamins and minerals.
Chia and Flaxseeds have been part of my diet for quite a while now, and they have no plans of leaving any time soon.
What is leaving however, is Kashi GOLEAN cereal.
As you can see, it’s my favorite crunchy topping to add to my smoothies, yogurt and cottage cheese, but I just don’t need it anymore.
It’s an unnecessary and processed staple in my diet that I can definitely do without.
Plus, nothing a crunchy honey crisp apple can’t fix 
or a refreshing bag of berries
Follow my instagram to see how I am incorporating more plant based proteins into my diet, and join me in the #plantPOWER challenge to add a plethora of benefits to your plate.

I’ve been vegetarian for over 20 years-I still eat eggs and dairy, and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m certain I’m healthier for it!!
I would never cut eggs or fish out of my diet. I don’t really eat red meat, but I’m definitely a chicken eater. Not everyday though, I like variety. I can already feel a difference in digestion by eating more plant protein.
It’s harder for me to get with the flavor of hemp, but I looooove me some chia!
Ya it is a little weird at first, but the nutty flavor is really good on salads or on yogurt.
I’m not a big fan of either actually… crazy right?? But girl, all of your food looks soooo good!!!
You should try adding some discreetly to your meals, like in your smoothies or oatmeal. It gives volume and satiety, and so good for ya!
I had to give up Kashi Go Lean too, but mine was due to food allergies. I’m so glad that I was forced to give it up though, because I ate it ALL OF THE TIME. Just because something appears “healthy” doesn’t mean that you have to eat it 24/7. Kashi was processed too, and had added sugar just like other cereals. Good luck!
I can definitely feel that my stomach is no longer liking it, and the added GMO’S are not something that I want to be eating lol. Plenty of alternatives out there
I’ve never tried chia seeds before but would love to! I keep seeing them or recipes with them all over blog world.
Wow your food looks amazing! I love chia seeds
