Eat food you love that loves you back
One of the arguments for not eating a plant-based diet I hear quite frequently is the food is bland.

Having a healthy, hearty breakfast is a great way to start the day. One of my favourite hot breakfasts is scrambled tofu – it’s easy to make and is a great source of plant-based protein.
