Making simple changes towards a healthy, clean plant-based diet doesn’t have to be as restricted or hard as it seems!
And guess what – you also don’t have to commit your entire life to it.
You can easily make some small modifications to what you usually eat and you might realize how much better you feel! The benefits include less saturated fat, hormones, cholesterol, more fibre, antioxidants and vitamins and overall less inflammation in your Healthy Body.
Here are 5 super easy plant-based swaps to try…
1. Swap dairy milk for almond milk
Almond milk has less skin disrupting hormones and inflammatory sugars and fats than dairy milk. You can choose a fortifies brand that contains vitamin D and calcium. Also be sure to choose unsweetened to avoid unnecessary sugars. Your tummy and your skin will thank you! Read more about eliminating dairy here:

4. Go egg free for breakfast
Try sprouted grain toast with almond butter (tons of protein), make gluten free oatmeal with blueberries and flax, hemp and pumpkin seeds for fibre, protein, and antioxidants – plus this will keep you full until lunch.
