Plant Forward Meal Ideas for the Whole Family
Transitioning to a plant-based diet as a family is - I'd say - more difficult than figuring out how to have a plant-based diet for yourself. Though, that can be tough too!

8+ Ways to Incorporate Plant-Based Protein
When you eat a lot of plant-based foods, the protein question is often circulating. Though we are by no means totally living by this diet - I also don’t eat meat and dairy with every meal. I like to switch up my proteins and have been practicing how to do that over the years! Many people are concerned that not eating meat means that you will not get any protein at all! Luckily, there are tons of plant-based foods that are packed with protein. And fun fact - almost every food does have even a small amount. Remember that doing your research is essential to be sure you aren’t depleting your body of necessary nutrients.
My 2 Favorite Plant Based Wing Recipes

So I guess basically I just like the idea of dipping something hot and spicy into ranch. Anyway, because I always TRY to do some better-for-me options - and especially always experimenting with plants - I thought I’d give some plant-based wings a try to see if they fit the bill.

I do eat some cheese, chicken and seafood but I really do LOVE making things purely with plants (and for the record, I’m not super keen on fake meats). Now, for the sake of giving you some awesome content and recipes, I’m keeping the below plant-based and hope you find something new to love this summer!
