The Best Plant Based Blogs You’ve Got To Follow!
Plant based eating is on the rise and it’s no surprise. There is a ton of new research that outlines the benefits of eating more plant foods for both personal health and the health of the environment and plant-based eating is a great, flexible way to add nourishment to your diet. I personally love to eat plant based with a majority of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains mixed with a moderate intake of high-quality animal products like eggs and chicken, grass-fed beef, and seafood including salmon, tuna, and shellfish.
In this post I’ve gathered my favourite plant based blogs that I truly believe are some of the best out there in the blogosphere…and I know you will just love them too! These bloggers are all incredibly, likeseriously-seriously, talented and create an amazing variety of recipes that are mostly plant based or totally vegan. They are health-minded and focus on whole foods that nourish the mind and body.
What is a Plant-Based Diet?
Many people confuse a plant based diet with a vegan diet but they are not the same. A vegan diet is one that is completely void of animal-sourced foods (meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, fish, etc.), and often those following a vegan diet will also follow a vegan lifestyle meaning they don’t usually use any animal-based products like leather or wool. While a vegan diet is free of animal products, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s free of sugar, refined flours, or processed foods as we all know there’s no shortage of vegan donuts, cookies, Mac & Cheez, and croissants on the market.
A “plant-based” diet revolves mainly around healthy, unprocessed or minimally processed plant-sourced foods (nuts, seeds, vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes) with some animal based products like free-range eggs, organic poultry, or wild fish. A plant-based diet is focused around whole foods and unprocessed options, with the idea to eat plant foods… and lots of them!
