Hi! Thank you for the recipe. Just a quick question, did you mean 32oz of broth or stock - I'm stumped with the 32oz low sodium 'soup'. I will be making this often.

I am interested in eating healthier and plant based diets are talked about a lot lately.Does anyone have any great recipes to start out with?

I have the high fiber Trader Joe's cereal every morning with almond milk, blueberries (a power food), a strawberry and a few slices of banana.

Sometimes I fix a salad with toppings like artichoke hearts, etc for lunch, but mostly I have a veg sandwich.  Thin mashed slices of avocado, hummus on the other piece of bread, grated carrot, arugula leaves, tomato, whatever else I can find.

I get a lot of fiber in my diet.

You're welcome @dex 

I figured you would get a lot of dinner recipes, I'd suggest breakfast and lunch.  I don't get very creative for lunch, I'm happy with a peanut butter sandwich

I haven't made it @dex  I've heard of it but I didn't know how. 

I put chia seeds and flax seeds on my cereal every day, very good for us.  I've also been providing almonds for DH and I both.  I started years ago when I read about Edgar Cayce recommending them.  I figured almonds couldn't hurt and now we know how beneficial they are.  Sometimes I get the smoked almonds if I see them at Trader Joe's, DH likes them flavored.

I will try the pudding!

ps @dex

Speaking of chia seeds, I read years ago that some people in other countries add water to them and carry them on journeys because chia seeds absorb 30 times their own weight in water.  A good way to refresh.  I was thinking that must be how the seeds turn almond milk into a pudding. 

I've been using the vanilla flavored almond milk lately, it has a nice light flavor.

@LoveMyBaby  Hi Laurie, I’m so sorry to be so late in replying - am just now seeing your question.  No, not broth or stock.  Google “Pacific Foods soup” or “Imagine Foods soup” to see examples of flavors.  Hope this helps!

My lunch almost every day is boiled potatoes (10-12 ounces), a steamed veggie (usually cauliflower, asparagus, or zucchini), pico de gallo, and avocado, with a bit a freshly ground pepper, the flavors are great together.  I put it all into a bowl and mix it up a bit.  It has become one of my favorite meals, and is very filling.

Another favorite.  I don't use oil, just use a little water to saute the veggies, if necessary.  I also use the low fat coconut milk.  I use regular curry powder, whatever I have on hand.
