One of the assumptions of eating vegan/plant based is that you’ll get bored easily which is simply not true.
Peter, my husband has eaten this way for a long time now, opting for plant-based meals through the week and a little fish on a weekend. I went fully plant-based a month ago and haven’t looked back. Kind to the planet, the animals and my health, I’m simply loving eating this way and won’t be returning to old habits.
I’ve been experimenting with beans, pulses and lots of seasonal veg and feel so much better for it.
Peter and I rustled this meal of vegan haricot bean balls with kale crisps last week and I just had to share it on the blog. Quick, simple and truly delicious, I know you guys will love it, vegan or not! Get some more veggies into your life and onto your plate.
