Eating a plant-based diet doesn’t mean that you are a vegetarian or will never eat animal products again. It simply means adding more meals to your diet that consists primarily of fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds, whole grains, and beans. Plant-based diets have been shown to be good for your health and easier on the environment.
One simple way to ease into a plant-based diet is by starting your days with a plant-based breakfast. To get you started, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite plant-based breakfast ideas.
