I’m definitely not a vegetarian (love some red meat!) but plant-based definitely has its advantages in cutting down the carbs, unhealthy fats, etc. Here are a few plant-based meals / snacks I love:
1. GI Primer (Prebiotic)
I drink Nutrilite Begin every morning. It supports healthy digestion, immune health, liver and skin health, energy and metabolism. It’s a 6-in-1 drink supplement infused with six gut-supporting blends like fermented greens, prebiotics and fiber, postbiotics, alkaline spices, digestive enzymes and more.
2. Salads
You can’t beat a loaded salad full of veggies for lunch. You can add a protein or leave it out, but a salad has all kinds of benefits, and I often find that if I go with a salad, I don’t overeat which helps me sustain my energy into the afternoon.
3. Vegetable snacks
I’ve been going for more green snacks lately which I think has helped me lose some weight and even reduced cravings for carbs. A veggie plate for me consists of carrots, celery, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower and more. I’m not sure if peanut butter counts against plant-based but that’s a definite yes with the celery.
4. Plant based protein smoothies
Lastly, my favorite go-to are plant – based protein smoothies. I usually have one or two per day with either chocolate or vanilla and add some peanut butter and vegetables.
There are plenty of great options if you want to work in some plant-based meals and snacks into your diet to cut down on carbs or unhealthy fats. Overall, I go with a balance that I find works best for me and to make sure I can maintain energy for working out and my daily routine.
