The end of the staircase! . . . Day 21 🎉 . . . Twenty One days of January and New Year goals are off to a great start! By now, whatever you are working on is becoming a habit. . . . I've been moving everyday, . . . Working through my classes, . . . Eating nutritious food, . . . Staying connected to my people, . . . Writing my book proposal and blog (link in the bio 😉) . . . Why stop now? . . . #keepmovingforward #climb #day21 #transformation #imagine #trust #trusttheprocess #21daysofjanuary #goals #goals❤️ #motivation #healthyhabits #healthymama #healthy #workforit #stairs #friendshipgarden #idaho #greatstart #opentogrowth #grow #growthmindset #growth #growing

Into the crockpot! I've said it before, but it's worth repeating. Isn't it great to cook once and eat twice? 😀 I love saving time later in the week with leftovers. People sometimes worry about where they will get their protein on a plant-based diet. But the real question is where does fiber come from on the standard American diet? Whole food plant-based nutrition provides more fiber (animal meat has none), less fat, no cholesterol, plenty of protein, more beta-carotene, more folate, more vitamin C, more vitamin E, more iron, more magnesium, and more calcium than animal based foods. Cook it once, fuel your body twice. . . . #stuffedbellpeppers #eatyourveggies #eattherainbow #crockpot #crockpotcooking #cookingmama #cookonceeattwice #wholefoodnutrition #rice #peppers #meatlessmonday #meatlessmeals

- Oscar Wilde . . . Day 20 . . . Not everyone is going to get you. Be yourself anyways 😊

Super fancy :D !!! . . Today's delight is original Cheerios layered with Oat Yeah yogurt alternative and some orange 😋 . . . Usually I just throw it all in a bowl, but I thought it might be more attractive this way 😂 . . . Transitioning to whole food plant-based nutrition doesn't mean giving up breakfast cereals. Substitutes for milk and yogurt are available. . . . Look for unsweetened plant milks and cereals that are minimally sweetened... bran flakes, original cheerios, shredded wheat (without frosting). . . . I love granola too, but it's best kept to minimum depending on the nuts and sugar involved. Usually I add a couple tablespoons to my bran flakes to jazz them up. . . . We don't need dairy for our calcium. Plant-based milks provide calcium too. . . . One cup of 2% milk has 295 mg of calcium. Whereas 1 cup of almond milk has 450mg. . . . (Not to mention there has been a whispered association of bone fractures with milk consumption.) . . . #wfpbnutrition #wfpb #wfpbcertified #transform ##transition #plantmilk #cheerios #unsweetened #whatsforbreakfast #cereal #parfait #orange #nutritiousonadime #dontwaitanotherday

Whole food plant-based nutrition consists of whole, minimally processed plant foods. . . . (Also no meat products - chicken, beef, fish, eggs, dairy.) . . . The research is out there. Whole food plant-based eating has been shown to benefit heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and more. . . . It takes about a month or so to adjust your palate. Be prepared to be patient with yourself and give yourself a little grace as you are transitioning 💕 . . . I used these Oat Yeah cups as a bridge over from the cheese and yogurt. Convenient to grab on the go - also good with a couple spoonfuls of yogurt sprinkled in. . . . #oatyeah #oatmilk #gotmilk #wfpbnutrition #wfpb #transform #plantbased #dontwait

Have you shown up? . . . Showing up for yourself doesn't mean being perfect. . . . Nobody is. . . Day 17 . . . Showing up means you grab your goal and imagine it in your mind. . . . Showing up for you builds your confidence, builds your endurance, builds your resilience. . . . So that you can . . . Keep up with kids. Keep up with work. Keep up with life. . . . Are you struggling to get back to moving more? Back to eating good nutrition? . . . Don't beat yourself up. You're doing great! . . . Do what you can with what you've got where you are at. . . . One day at a time 😊 . . . Do it for you! . . . #eatwell #contribute #contributetrustimagine #imagine #dothedoable #dogood #showup #showupforyourself #socialimpact #ittakesavillage #nutritionstudies #imperfectresolutions #goals❤️ #goodeating #wfpb #wfpbnutrition #thestruggleisreal #doitforyou #21daysofjanuary #keepgoing #keepmovingforward

In Ohio, this is the time of year chili is popular. . . . Recently I have been making bean chili or venison chili because both have less fat than beef or chicken. . . . Yesterday I used chorizo plant-based meat crumbles to give that unami my people expect chili to have. Along with #peppers , onion, #tomatoes , #corn , kidney beans, chili powder, #cumin , & whole grain spaghetti noodles it turned out delicious! . . . Three out of four ate it 😋 . . . Would also work great on a bed of greens for added texture and crunch. . . . #meatless #meatlessmeals #chili #vegetarianchili #vegetarian #eatplantstrong #eatyourveggies #CoachCat #plantbasednutrition #plantbased
