In episode 19 of the ‘Eat Your Greens with Dr. Black’ podcast, Dr. Black and her sister, Wendy, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, delve into the world of plant-based meat alternatives. This episode, part two of a three-part series, is designed to assist listeners in transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle. The duo explores and samples a variety of popular plant-based options on the market, including vegan breakfast sausages, impossible and beyond burgers, vegan pepperoni pizza with creamy Miyoko’s pourable mozzarella cheese, and dairy-free ice creams. Through a lively discussion, they evaluate these alternatives based on appearance, texture, flavor, cost, and nutritional content, aiming to provide listeners with comprehensive insights to make informed decisions. Wendy shares her expertise and personal experiences, including her culinary background and how plant-based eating has impacted her health, particularly in relation to rheumatoid arthritis. The episode offers an engaging journey through the delicious possibilities of plant-based eating while providing valuable information to help listeners incorporate more whole plant-based foods into their diets.
