Self doubt plant based meal

My second meal of the day, and let me tell yall. I WAS READY! The oatmeal didn’t quite fill me up so I took an early lunch. I also gorged on water 👀 I’m now realizing that there’s a REASON Dr. Michael Greger includes a snack section. But I simply couldn’t afford everything I needed for said snacks. I decided to use what I had on hand which I picked these packets up a couple months ago for easy dinner nights when my partner works nights. I added the savory mix I got out of the cook book to help season. It is … like the hospital seasoning I got as a child for my meals when I was sick and admitted.

This meal kit is cheap and effective. I just have to keep reminding myself… this is for your heart health. I may take my happy a** to the grocery store for snacks later 👀 but first I will try the local food pantry. It’s hard out here yall! So far the food isn’t filling me up. Maybe I need to shrink my tummy from all the cookies I gorge on late at night 🥲

What’s your cheat sheet for plant based meals?

... Read moreEating plant-based doesn’t have to be expensive or boring. Budget-friendly plant-based meals can be nutritious and satisfying. For example, incorporating **chickpeas and turmeric** into your diet, as mentioned in the OCR content, is a great way to boost flavor and health benefits. Chickpeas are high in protein and fiber, which can keep you feeling full longer. Additionally, **jasmine rice** serves as a perfect side, providing a light, aromatic experience. It pairs well with spiced dishes, adding a delightful balance to your meal. Remember that meal prep and planning can significantly reduce costs. Buying in bulk and exploring local food pantries can make plant-based eating more affordable, helping those facing financial constraints. It's also essential to explore various spices like the **H·E·B mix** mentioned in your OCR notes, which can make meals vibrant and flavorful. Making small adjustments to your diet can improve your overall health while you enjoy delicious meals along the way. Always remember, self-care starts with what you feed your body, and finding joy in cooking is part of that journey.
