I hope you enjoyed this delicious recipe. There are many more coming soon! Did you know that a vegan or plant-based diet excludes all animal products, including meat, dairy, and eggs. When people follow it correctly, a vegan diet can be highly nutritious, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and aid weight loss. But did you also know that According to a recent report on the most extensive study of vegetarians and vegans to date, those eating plant-based diets appear to have a significantly longer life expectancy? Vegetarians live on average almost eight years longer than the general population, which is similar to the gap between smokers and nonsmokers.
