Plant-based eating can be a healthy diet. According to the American Heart Association, reducing the amount of meat and animal-based products you eat can lower your chances of developing heart disease, cancer, stroke, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and obesity.
But what about specific nutrients? Most people worry about eating enough protein after giving up meat. Did you know that most vegetables have some protein in them? In fact, you likely will have enough protein in your new plant-based diet if you have a variety of foods in it. Beans, nuts, and legumes are all effective ways to boost the protein in your plant-based meals. Plus, a varied plant-based diet will ensure that you get enough fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Plant-based foods do fill you up. In fact, because they come naturally packed with filling fiber, you won’t have to worry about feeling hungry. Plus, healthy fats and proteins in legumes, beans, olives, nuts, and plant-based oils also help you to feel full.
Well-prepared plant-based meals also satisfy cravings for comforting foods, such as chili, enchiladas, curry, or pasta. With fiber, protein, and healthy fats, you get physical and mental satisfaction from plant-based comfort foods.

Your diet should not be an all-or-nothing exercise. Just replacing one meat-based meal with a plant-based one can help your health. That meal can easily offer you more servings of fruits and vegetables. According to a report published in the American Heart Association’s Circulation Journal, people who had five servings of produce instead of two a day had a 35% lower risk of death from respiratory disease and a 13% decrease in death from all diseases.
Think about making small changes when changing your diet. You don’t have to dive into plant-based eating headfirst. Instead, replace a few meals a week. With the many options for plant-based main dishes and sides at rootberry, the switch is simple. Over time, increase the number of plant-based meals you eat, and you’ll effortlessly make a long-term change.
Boring? No way! Do you think dishes with names such as Peanut Buddha Bowl, Aztec Enchiladas, Indian Chickpea Curry, Korean BBQ Stir Fry, and Fettuccine Alfredo sound dull? These dishes are only a few of the many options you’ll find at rootberry.

With rootberry, you have a personal chef at your call to prepare you high-quality meals for the same prices that you’d spend eating out.
