REDUCETARIAN

Someone who consciously chooses to reduce the intake of animal products and dairy in their lives, they do not regularly eliminate anything from their diet, just eat less of those things. This would include those who try to follow a “Meatless Monday” plan or eating plant based for breakfast and dinner but a traditional eating style for dinner.

Someone who chooses a plant based lifestyle the majority of the time but will occasionally choose to go off this for a particular occasion or event. This would include people who revert to a traditional way of eating for a particular holiday(s) or those who eat a varied traditional cuisine when traveling.

FLEXITARIAN

ALL-IN PLANT BASED

Just as the name implies the “All-In Plant Based” is someone who completely omits all animal products and dairy all the time. There is little room for flexibility regardless of the situation or circumstance.

Explore Your Health Objectives

Just because you’re embarking on a plant based journey doesn’t automatically mean it’s all about being healthy. With the vast array of vegan products available today, you’ll find options ranging from nutritious to indulgent treats that may not necessarily be health-focused. And that’s perfectly fine. You can relish a variety of textures and flavors similar to what traditional diets offer.

Even in conventional diets, many choices aren’t inherently healthy. The key is understanding what you’re eating and making mindful selections as you explore our offerings. Most importantly, savor every moment of this culinary adventure! Below, we’ve broken down some tips to help you along the way.

INDULGENT CHOICES

Being plant based doesn’t automatically equal healthy. We offer some recipes with more indulgent options for quick, 15 to 30-minute meals made with off-the-shelf ‘Plant Based Swaps’ utilizing mock meats, simple pastas, and other rich choices. Enjoy the convenience and taste of these items while understanding they may not make a healthy impact on your body. Look for our “Indulgent” label.

BALANCED CHOICES

Strike a balance between health and indulgence in your eating habits. You can do this by preparing a few nutritious, larger meals to serve on multiple nights and choosing indulgent options for busy days or occasional cravings. Alternatively, you can try to choose moderately healthy meals on a more regular basis. Look for our ‘Balanced’ label to designate these fairly healthy meals.

HEALTHY CHOICES

If your primary motivation for transitioning to a plant based diet is to enhance your overall health, we recommend seeking out recipes that feature wholesome ingredients such as legumes, vegetables, and whole grains. While these recipes may require a bit more preparation, their flavors can be incredibly satisfying. Look for our ‘More Healthy’ label to easily identify these nutritious options.
