Beginning a plant-based lifestyle can be overwhelming and time consuming.  Learning how to plan and cook meals, make the right choices when grocery shopping, and being able to still go out to all your favorite eateries is what most people struggle with when choosing a plant-based lifestyle.  Some people give up, not because they don't want to continue, but because they didn't have the right tools to make them successful.  

 

 

If you're wondering...

​

Can plant-based food be delicious, satisfying, and hearty?

 

Can it give you more energy, help you maintain a healthy weight, lower your risks of cancer/diabetes/heart disease, lower your cholesterol, and improve your gut health?

 

Can it save animals from unimaginable cruelty?

 

Can it reduce your carbon footprint and help our Earth?

 

The answer is YES!

 

​

Do it for yourself.

Do it for the factory farmed animals.

Do it for the environment.

Just do it!

   My Background

​

I’m thrilled to share my journey to a plant-based lifestyle! After countless discussions, my family and I finally made the leap. We were a bit worried it might limit us, but we had no idea what we would gain. Strong immunity, a happy gut, and a world of amazing food!  A visit to a local animal sanctuary sparked our journey, and we dove into researching and experimenting with exciting new ingredients! The transformation has been incredible—I’ve developed a craving for nutritious foods, and my husband has even went off his cholesterol medication after 15 years! I’ve fully embraced the plant-based community through cooking, education, and events, and I’m on a mission to inspire others to adopt healthier lifestyles!

What every food business needs to know

Research shows that restaurants are missing out on sales if they aren’t offering creative plant-based food choices. The vegan in the group generally chooses where to eat, even if everyone else are meat eaters.  Unfortunately, many restaurants throw a vegan option on the menu as an afterthought, and it shows.  Vegans are known for their extensive research for finding restaurants that are not only vegan friendly,

but will offer them a well-planned, tasty, plant-based menu option.  

​

If you aren’t doing this and have invested zero time into a couple plant-based options,

you are doing your business a disservice.  

​

Vegans are one of many groups of people that you would benefit from by offering more. These days, having some plant-based options brings in people searching for the new and exciting, and doesn’t just attract vegans.  My free initial consultation will include a discussion on the additional types of clientele you will attract

based on your new menu items.

​

Modern consumers operate differently than any other generation. 

They buy things that align with their values and often post it on social media for all to see.  

​

       Whatever your situation-

  • New business 

  • Need to boost sales 

  • Been wanting to add plant-based items to your menu and need assistance

  • Have added vegan options that didn’t boost sales

  • Or just never thought of adding choices until now 

   I have a plan for you that will increase your sales by offering exciting plant-based menu options.
