If youāre contemplating eating mostly or entirely plant based this year, youāve no doubt wondered: Will I just be eating bland fiber bombs all the time?
Eric Adams, a Brooklyn-based politician and author, has been there. āBefore I became plant based, I never would have believed that eating this way would satisfy me,ā he writes in his new book, . āI used to think that a good meal meant lots of sugar, salt, and fat. I had no idea what vegetables and fruits truly tasted like because what few I ate were drowned in sauces and oil. This is one of the most surprising benefits of a plant-based diet: You get your taste buds back!ā
The following recipes, curated by Adams and reprinted from Healthy at Last, show exactly what he means.
