I’ve got a game changer to share with you…
I recently played around and re-created this all-time favourite recipe as a plant-based version. It’s got a range of crunchy green salad ingredients that are key for optimum health. The chicken is swapped out for deliciously marinated tempeh, which is a soy-based protein. The mayonnaise is swapped out for a beautiful creamy cashew dressing!
Did you know that most people in the world don’t reach the minimum recommended daily consumption of 5+ fruit and vegetables a day? When I look at peoples plates, I often see a measly side dish of vegetables or salad. But I think the reason it’s avoided is because it’s not appealing and the consumer is unaware of how to cook and prepare their vegetables in a flavorsome way!
I read two books from Jason Shon Bennett called ‘Eat Less Live Long’ & ‘My 20 Golden Rules’, which speak about research done on the centenarians of the world (people who live to 100+). It takes you through each country and the people who live the longest tend to live off the land, have a stress-free lifestyle and often eat up to 17 servings of fruit and vegetables a day! No wonder the rest of the population are suffering from chronic illness and obesity. It’s our sedentary lifestyles and processed food!
If I can prove to people that plant-based food can be truly delicious whilst also being able to sustain an athletic lifestyle, then I have reached my goal! I hope you enjoy this mind-blowing recipe that you can meal prep, throw together for when you have guests over, or enjoy on a warm summers evening.
Don’t forget to tag me on social media when you re-create my recipes! I look forward to seeing your healthy meals!
