Journey to a Healthier Lifestyle with The Plant-Based Journey, one day, one step at a time.
Over 4 years ago I stopped eating animal flesh, no chicken, beef, pork, or fish and this was the start of my journey to a healthier lifestyle. Shortly after starting my plant-based journey I signed up for my first half-marathon. Running 3 to 4 times a week and eating a much healthier diet proved to be the perfect combination to help me shed those last few pounds I needed to lose. It’s amazing what a healthier diet and exercise can do for the body. Not only did I lose those last few pounds I needed to lose, I also reduced my cholesterol and my asthma symptoms improved.
I was given a copy of Lani Muelrath’s, The Plant-Based Journey recently and oh how I wish I had this book when I started my plant-based journey. It’s loaded with information with a step-by-step guide to help anyone transition to plant-based living.
The research-based information in this book will help you map out your plan to a healthier life and healthier weight along the way.
Here’s a bit more about Lani Muelrath, MA
Award-winning teacher, author, presenter, and top plant-based living coach Lani Muelrath has been on her own plant-based journey for more than 40 years and has helped thousands of clients lose weight and live more healthy and plant-filled lives. Here, she brings that experience to you, backed by scientific evidence. The Plant-Based Journey has now been adopted as text and instructional resource by a growing number of plant-based living coaches nationwide. Source
Lani breaks everything down into 5 steps, each step taking you further into your transition to Plant-Based living.
What I love most about Lani’s book is that she provides recipe templates that you can personalize, for example with the Whole Grain Breakfast Template you pick your grain, fruit of your choice, plant milk, season with cinnamon or any other seasoning of your choice.
Here is my version of the Whole Grain Breakfast. I chose to use chopped apples, dried cranberries, almond milk, sliced almonds and a sprinkle of cinnamon. I was so ready to dig into this bowl of goodness after snapping this picture.
Even if you’re not ready to go full throttle into a plant-based diet this book is a must read and will help you get on the path to a healthier lifestyle.
Below is a segment from CBS-TV’s Good Morning Sacramento, in which Lani shows viewers how to Plantify their plates.

September 29, 2015 at 8:56 pmYour Whole Grain Breakfast looks delicious! Can’t wait to try my own templates based upon Lani’s template system. My current favorite vegetable is a combo of cauliflower and carrots that I cook in my Instant Pot.

September 30, 2015 at 1:05 amI must say..over the past 4 months both my daughters have introduced me to the joy of cauliflower! First I enjoyed it as a pizza crust with yummy toppings..and then I enjoyed it chopped in large chunks, sautéed in coconut oil and a little salt and pepper..super YUM!!
Celeste says
September 30, 2015 at 8:58 pmThat’s wonderful,there’s a cauliflower cookbook on my sidebar written by Lindsay from Pinch of Yum. It has a recipe for cauliflower alfredo sauce, you and your daughters might like it. However, I will disclose that it is an affiliate link, so if you purchase I earn a commission from the sale of this ebook which is currenty on sale for $9.00.

October 1, 2015 at 2:21 pmMy favorite veggie is spinach because it is so versatile. I put it in my green monster smoothies and I can’t even taste it, but I reap all the wonderful benefits. Celeste, you look amazing! Keep up the good work.
Celeste says
October 1, 2015 at 8:27 pmThanks Melanie, spinach is definitely on my list of favorites and I also like adding loads of it to my smoothies for over the top nutritional boost.

October 1, 2015 at 10:38 pmHi Celeste, your whole grain breakfast looks perfect for this time of year!! My favorite vegetable is asparagus, especially when it is blanched or stir-fried. My least is cauliflower, I’m still looking for a wonderful recipe to try to make it taste better for me. Thank you for the giveaway!
