August Plant-Based Recipes Spotlight Wellness Month
August marks National Wellness Month, prompting a focus on light, healthy, plant‑based dishes. Host Michelle Harris of the TV series "Alive & Well" shared vegan-friendly recipes such as blueberry muffins topped with a black elderberry spread and a plant‑based French toast using JUST Egg substitute.
Other seasonal suggestions emphasize fresh summer produce, including zucchini lasagna, Cobb salad, Greek baked cod, zucchini fritters and Greek chicken kabobs, all designed to make the most of peak tomatoes, corn, peaches and herbs.
Both collections encourage using locally sourced fruits and vegetables to create nutritious meals that align with wellness goals.
