Plant-based recipes for a deliciously healthy life
This is where the cooking, chopping, and other food prep reside.
Hey babes! I love my veggies just as they are (ROASTED), but the easiest way to get my kids pound their broccoli is with cheese. And, truthfully, I love me some nachos. Cashew cheese is bomb as all hell, but it can be expensive and is very calorie dense. So, as a slightly lighter, cheaper […]
Hey babes! I love the flavors of Greek food but very rarely can you find plant-based versions in my part of the world. So I used my favorite substitute for a healthy version: mushrooms! The secret, like with all mushroom recipes, is to let it marinate and get it nice and crispy. Give it a […]
Hey babes! I absolutely love jerky, but A) I don’t eat meat, and B) it costs $50/oz. So instead, I learned how to make it at home. The first recipe is lower calorie, but the second is closer to the texture of traditional jerky and VERY spicy. Give it a try and let me know […]
Hey babes! I love chai latte, but all of the store bought concentrates are either packed full of sugar or artificial sweeteners that leave me with a pounding migraine. So instead, I make it myself. It doesn’t take long and it’s free of all the ingredients I don’t want. Give it a try and let […]
Hey babes, It’s heating up here and I needed something I could grab for lunch and not sweat my booty off. This turned out to be way lower calorie than I thought, but it’s so filling! Top with some avocado or use as a side to help bulk out your meals. Let me know what […]
(Hey! Just wanted to let you know, none of my links below are affiliated. Just wanted to help you find resources for some of the less common ingredients!) Hey babes, Growing up casseroles were always in vogue, but absolutely none were plant-based. So, I thought I would rework an old one, with wayyyy more vegetables […]
Hey babes, I promised I wouldn’t bore you with a long diatribe, but I wanted to give a little backstory. Once upon a time, I was in a language course that was taught by native speakers, more specifically, Chinese immigrants training us in Mandarin. Part of the course involved “Immersion days” where we learned how […]
Hey babes, So, we got a puppy a few months back and she is a chompy little handful, but very intelligent. Decided to make this recipe so I’d have healthy, small treats to help reward her training. So far, doggo approved. Give them a try and let me know what you think in the comments!
Hey babes! If you’re lucky enough to have a good source of oyster mushrooms, highly recommend giving this a try! It’s extremely low calorie, spicy, and filling. And, of course, delicious! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments! Enjoy!
Hey babes! This is one of my favorite quick “cheese” recipes, made possible by the delicious probiotic goodness of miso paste! Enjoy on crackers, salads, bowls, and more. Let me know in the comments what you think, and of course if you have any questions!
Hi babes, I'm Monica, the girl behind the curtain of Whole Food Plant Babe. My deep love of food and flavor couldn't be deterred by health concerns, so I sought to make WFPB recipes even tastier than their meat and dairy predecessors so I could have a long, happy, sexy, healthy life.
