Hi there! I’m Sarah, blogger behind My Darling Vegan, a 10 year vegan, and mama of 2 adorable children. Follow me on my journey towards peace and health at: [www.mydarlingvegan.com](www.mydarlingvegan.com) 6 years ago my plant-based diet relied heavily on gluten and processed foods; I couldn’t fathom another way. But after the birth of my first child I was faced with unexpected health issues and was forced to examine my diet. In doing so, I unlocked the secret to vibrancy and youth. Switching to a whole foods, plant-based diet changed my life. And, of course it did! I learned that the food we put in our bodies affects EVERYTHING within. Therefore, clean eating can benefit us in countless ways from how we manage stress, to the quality of our sleep to our daily mood. With the power to be so lifegiving, why then, is it so hard to eat right? Clean eating can be intimidating and it’s hard to know where to begin but with the right resources and a little bit of planning, changing to a plant-based, whole foods diet might be the best decision you’ve made. This book has 30 whole food, plant-based recipes to help you being your clean eating journey. Ready to dig in? Let’s go! LOOKING FOR MORE?
