Are you Thinking of Starting a Plant Based Diet?

Hi there, it's Dr. Jen Simmons from Real Health MD. If you're just starting off on a plant based diet, keep it really simple. Make salads, big colorful salads and make your own salad dressing using olive oil and lemon juice herbs you can stir some miso in which has a great flavor. You can use tahini, which also has a really interesting nutty flavor. So lots of ways to spice up your salad dressings using fresh herbs which give you a lot of flavor and a lot of nutrients. So that's one way to really start your plant based diet is to make these great colorful salads and make your own delicious salad dressing. Another way is to just do simple sautes. So take your leafy greens, which are so rich in folate and saute them with onions and garlic and put some fresh herbs in, saute them in avocado oil, lots of seasoning and it's really delicious, really nutritious. Or roast your vegetables in a 370 degree oven to your liking. So I happen to like mine when they get dark and caramelly and roast them in avocado oil and then season afterwards with olive oil. So keep it simple but keep those vegetables coming. This is Dr. Jen Simmons with Real Health MD. I hope you start your plant based diet today.
