We Love our Vegan Meals! / Amamos nuestros platicos veganos!

And no, we are not vegans, but we love our vegan meals. As I mentioned in my Book , I went from being vegan to vegetarian to pescetarian, to finally just finding what was right for me! We eat a little bit of almost everything but always the best quality possible. And still more than 50% of our meals are completely plant based!

You have to find that balance that works for you! And trust me that everyone will benefit from plant based meals with no exception. One of my best tips (and so basic that it's almost a no brainer) for being healthy is to ALWAYS include veggies in all our meals!! (thats the trick ;) )

And since you asked for it:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No! No somos veganos pero nos encantan nuestros platos vega! Como menciono en mi libro, yo he pasado de vagan o vegetariana a vegetariana + pescado... mil cosas hasta que encontré que era lo que en verdad era bueno para mi cuerpo. En nuestra casa comemos un poco de casi todo pero la mejor calidad posible de cada cosa. Sin embargo mas del 50% de nuestras comidas con completamente basadas en plantas!

Nosotros tenemos que encontrar ese balance perfecto para nuestro cuerpo pero obviamente que todo el mundo sin excepción se beneficiara de comida basada en vegetales y plantas! Uno de mis tips para ser saludable (super basico que hasta suena bobo) es incluir vegetales en todos nuestras comidas! (Ahi esta el truco!)

Y como me pidieron aquí va la receta de nuestro almuerzo veloz de ayer:
