Plant-based diet 101

A plant-based diet focuses on whole foods and, well, plants! It doesn’t necessarily have to mean you’re “vegan” or any other label. It means you consume a diet rich in whole fruits, whole vegetables, whole grains, whole nuts, and seeds, etc. Most importantly, we are placing whole foods above all else, and limiting processed foods, just like the Clean Program.

Grilled vegetable white bean salad with dill

This white bean salad features gorgeous root vegetables that make it perfect for the transition to fall. We love a hearty salad, and the sweetness of carrots balances well with the heartiness of the white beans. Add some fresh dill and it’s a winning combination!

Vegan citrus olive oil cake

Olive oil cake is one of those desserts that balances savory and sweet perfectly. Our version is rich and subtly sweet, with a touch of lemon to add a bright flavor. It feels perfect as a dessert topped with a bit of coconut cream or even with breakfast, toasted, and topped with ghee. No matter when you eat it, you’re sure to love this simple vegan olive oil cake recipe!

Asparagus and garlic quinoa bowl

We love a quinoa bowl as a heartier version of lunchtime salads. You can squeeze in just as many nutrient-dense vegetables, but the grain base helps make the meal more satisfying. You can rotate the ingredients as seasons change, simply using this recipe as a guideline that will work year-round.

Dr. Junger’s superfood rainbow salad recipe

This salad is perfect for summer! It’s a rainbow of colors and so fresh. If you are curious, here’s why we suggest eating the rainbow of vegetables. Try this salad on its own, or pair with your favorite protein.

Vegan breakfast hash

If you find that eggs are a sensitivity for you during the 21-Day Cleanse, you may feel limited in savory breakfast dishes. This sweet potato hash is the perfect recipe for vegan breakfast and you can make it cleanse-approved (just remove the jalapeno!). We’ve used black beans and chili spice to give this dish a twist that you’ll love.

Roasted greens and moringa soup

It’s hard to resist a warm bowl of broccoli cheddar soup. While there’s a lot to love about the creamy texture and savory flavor of broccoli cheddar soup, that’s where the positives end. Though some of us can eat dairy without a problem, cheese and milk may cause stomach upset in those with lactose intolerance. Luckily, we can still satisfy our cravings for a creamy, savory broccoli soup without the cheddar.

Plant-based protein power with a tahini mango smoothie

Nut and seed butter have long been on the rise as a popular source of plant protein and good-for-you fats. It expanded beyond the classic peanut butter into almond and cashew butter, but we also love tahini which can easily be used in sweet and savory dishes alike. We think you’ll love this combination of a creamy tahini mango smoothie.

Butternut squash mac and cheese

Boxed macaroni and cheese is a childhood staple in many homes. While the taste might bring back fond memories, there’s little to love about powdered cheese and processed noodles. We’ve created a recipe with the same cheesy flavor, using gluten-free, dairy-free, butternut squash mac and cheese.
