Join us for a Wicked January Challenge. Sign up for Veganuary, the go-vegan 31-day challenge. We make it easy by giving you all the tools you need to eat satisfying plant-based meals, including recipes, meal plans, and sound nutrition advice. There are so many amazing foods and drinks to enjoy in the plant-based world. You probably enjoy some of them now without even knowing it. Chocolate syrup for example. Or maybe you like bacon-flavored bits on salad. Or Old-Fashioned co*cktails on Saturday night. They’re all 100% vegan! So is our Wicked Double Jalapeño BBQ Burger shown in the photo above. Yum. It’s really not hard to eat 100% plant-based food for 31 days. Sign up today to give your health a boost this month and to give the planet and the animals a break. Encourage your friends and family to join you!
REMIND ME, WHY AM I DOING THIS?
REMIND ME, WHY AM I DOING THIS?For your health, for the animals, for the environment. And for flavor! Some of the most delicious foods in the world are plant foods. Did we mention chocolate? Plus, eating more plants is a simple dietary approach endorsed by every doctor and health organization in the world, including the World Health Organization, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, the British Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, the US Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture, and the American Cancer Society.
Find out more about all the Benefits of a Plant-Based Diet. Or check out this video we helped produce with Plant-Based News. Or watch Derek’s impassioned TED talk. Why do we eat this way as professional chefs? For all the reasons above and then some. We’re all about being responsible and compassionate as well as indulgent. Find out more about our Mission here.
WHERE DO I START?
Check out our article on How To Start A Plant-Based Diet For Beginners. That’ll give you the basics of using simple plant-based meat and dairy alternatives, eating out at restaurants, and putting together plant-based meals at home. Worried about getting enough protein? Fuhgeddaboudit. Nutritionists agree that it’s not difficult to get enough protein on a plant-based diet. Most foods contain some protein. And we don’t need much: adult women need about 46 grams of protein a day, on average, and men need about 56 grams. For more info, dip into our article on Plant-Based Protein Sources.
