Plant-Based Whole Food Diet Recipes (for Beginners)
When I began eating a plant-based whole food diet, I needed to know where I could find easy and filling recipes that were truly plant-based (and for beginners). Below I’m sharing the wisest sites—what I consider the best plant-based whole food diet recipes at my fingertips…
Nutrition Facts
I deeply value Nutrition Facts recipes because the ingredients are based on the best available research from around the world—research that Dr. Greger regularly stays on top of.
“Each recipe in our collection uses only health-promoting ingredients based on Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen and dining by traffic light system. These whole food, plant-based dishes, sauces, condiments, and sides come from The How Not to Die Cookbook and The How Not to Diet Cookbook, part of Dr. Greger's acclaimed, award-winning series, as well as contributions from the NutritionFacts.org team and friends.”
Straight Up Food
I absolutely love Straight Up Food recipes because of how clean Cathy Fisher makes her recipes—always free of gluten, salt, sugar, and oil. I so appreciate that she teaches at health clinics.
“I am a culinary instructor at two health centers in Santa Rosa, California: the McDougall Program and TrueNorth Health. I started working at the McDougall Program in 2006 and TrueNorth in 2010. I also give classes at veg-related conferences and for private groups. I started this blog in 2010 to offer my students more of my gluten-, salt-, sugar- and oil-free plant-based recipes. It is now read by people from all corners of the globe who are seeking a more healthful way of eating.”
Nutrition Studies
I am profoundly grateful for Dr. Campbell’s Nutrition Studies recipes because of his research and the evidence-based education Dr. Campbell has provided to so many of us.
“The T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies (CNS) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to increasing awareness of the extraordinary impact that food has on the health of our bodies, our communities, and our planet. Through science-based education, service, and advocacy, we seek to inspire and connect all people, providing practical solutions to enable a healthier life, more equitable communities, and a sustainable world.”
