Try a Plant-Forward Week: Small Swaps, Big Benefits!
Thinking about eating more plants but not sure where to start? A plant-forward approach emphasizes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds — while still allowing animal foods if you choose. It’s flexible, practical, and aligns with Health Canada’s guidance to enjoy a variety of foods and choose whole grains and more plant-based proteins.
Practical swaps to try this week:
• Replace one meat meal with a legume-based dish (lentil tacos, chickpea curry).
• Choose whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, barley) instead of refined grains.
• Add an extra half-plate of vegetables at lunch and dinner.
• Use nuts, seeds or yogurt for snacks and desserts instead of sugary treats.
• Flavor with herbs, citrus, and spices — less salt, more taste.
