Vegan 🌱 Vegetarian ღ Pescatarian 🐠 Flexitarian

 

Easy, healthy dishes for you to try ღ ღ ღ

 

Though I am a 99% plant-based muncher – with an occasional exception for wild Cambodian honey, yogurt, and a free-range organic egg – we have been healthy flexitarians, including animal products in 2 to 3 meals a week, for many years. We are all on a different path in our life. Don’t judge too fast and be kind to others.

If you still eat animal products, make sure they come from reliable organic sources that treat their animals with kindness and respect.

Soba Noodles aka Buckwheat Noodles

Soba – which is Japanese for buckwheat – is a Japanese staple food recently gaining popularity in the West. Buckwheat is a nutritious, gluten-free seed or pseudocereal. However, not all soba noodles are made solely of buckwheat flour. Some brands might add some wheat or rice flour to the mix so make sure to read food labels if you are allergic to gluten or just want to avoid them in your diet altogether.

Next to being super delicious, buckwheat is a good source of plant protein, fiber, and energy. Since buckwheat does not contain gluten, it is a great alternative to pasta for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerances.
