This week we’re shifting from “adding more plants” to how we build a plant-based plate. Your focus for the week is to build a JoyfulPlate for one meal a day, at least 3 days this week. The JoyfulPlate is my go-to framework for plant-based eating because it supports satiety, nutrient density, and enjoyment. It’s built around abundance, not restriction. You don’t need to do this at every meal, and it doesn’t need to be perfect. The goal is to practice and notice how it feels. It is the pattern that is the most important. When you include these foods in this pattern it insures that you are getting all of tje nutrients, it is satisfying and flavorful. At the end of the week, share: - one photo, - one description, or - one thing you noticed. That’s it. — Dr. Jenn
