“Improving personal health” and “weight management” are two of the most common New Year’s resolutions made. Is there an easy way to accomplish both of these goals at the same time? Yes! Studies have shown that adding more plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains to our plate can not only improve our health, but can also help us drop those unwanted pounds. In this program, lifestyle and health coach Debbie Zimmerman shares four plant-powered recipes while detailing how to incorporate plant-based eating into your health goals.
In this cooking presentation, you will learn how to make:
- A Mixed Greens Salad with a Fresh Herbs Salad Dressing
- Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burgers
- A “Health and Prosperity” Stew
- Fresh Apple Crisp
By viewing this program, you will learn:
