]]>Soy Beans
Edamame aka soybeans are a huge hit in East Asian cuisine, while the rest of the world is yet to tap into their potential. Cooking and stir-frying are two of the most popular preparation methods, but there are many other ways to put them to some good use.
Tofu
If we had to pick the most popular soy-based meat alternative on the market, tofu would definitely take the cake. It’s made with coagulating soy and it’s been used in Asian cuisine long before it became popular in the western world. There are many tofu variations on the market these days, and its versatility is one of the reasons behind its success.
Tempeh
Many people confuse tempeh with tofu due to a long list of similarities they share, but this meat alternative is a different beast. Tempeh is made with fermented soybeans and it’s usually used in the making of vegan bacon and burgers due to its strong flavor and firm texture.

]]>If you are a meat eater who is looking for some tips to help you cut down on your consumption of meat, here are some simple tips that will get you on the right path.
Start Eating Beans
People often complain that nothing in a vegan or vegetarian replaces the richness and filling character of meat. We have found, however, that beans are great at filling you up and serving as a great “substitute” that possesses many of meat’s singular characteristics.
Plant-Based Meat Substitutes
As the years go by and more and more people cut meat out from their diets, more and more plant-based meat substitutes are available on the market. From tofu to tempeh to seitan, you’ll find something that takes meat’s place if you try hard enough.

If you go into your journey with the attitude that your eating experiences are going to get worse after cutting out meat, you are setting yourself up for a loss. Instead, be enthusiastic about all of the benefits that you’ll reap and all of the new flavors that you will try.
Are you participating this year? I'll be cooking, eating, and posting plantbased recipes all month long in celebration. To kick it off, I chose this minty smoothie bowl that has made it's way into my breakfast rotation for years. I've made variations of this time and time again, but here's my favorite version: Minty smoothie bowl 1/2 small or 1/4 large ripe avocado 1 cup frozen spinach 3 soft medjool dates 1/2 frozen banana 1 Tbs chia seeds 1/2 tsp mint extract 1/4 cup plantbased yogurt or almond milk to thin (Optional add-ins: spirulina, maca powder, plantbased protein powder, cocao powder) Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth. Top with nuts, cocao nibs, toasted coconut, hemp hearts, mini chocolate chips, crushed candy canes, etc. Devour joyously
