Here are 5 ways to incorporate more plants foods in your day:

1. Stir fried vegetables in a savory sauce with steamed rice or cooked noodles.

2. Nuts and coconut chips (Dang brand is my favorite).

3. Hummus and fresh vegetables (carrot sticks, celery, bell peppers).

4. Hot cereal with fresh fruits and/or nuts.

5. Smoothie with almond milk.

Enjoy!
