Start a Whole Food Plant Based Diet SIMPLY

I’ve been thinking about how to simplify things, for all of us – change can be stressful who needs that!?! This solution for transferring to a Whole Food Plant Based Lifestyle is being presenting in a What We Can Eat kind of way cause what we can do is always more palatable and helpful then what we can’t. 😉

PREP: I have attached several resources and recipes for your convenience. If something to hold in your hands is helpful: find, print your following favorite recipes, bring $2.50 to DollarTree, and grab a whole-punch and a binder to put it all in. If you’d like to have a binder sent to you with all you’ll need to have a stylish long lasting custom cookbook I suggest this Amazon’s Choice Floral DIY kit Here.
