Deepak Chopra and Plant-based Diet(Vegan Diet)

Deepak Chopra - world renowned author, and spiritual guru has influenced millions of Americans to lead a stress-free life.  Today, many Americans do yoga, and meditate regularly. Yes, Deepak Chopra talks about "Mindfull Eating". Deepak Chopra says, we should ask , "How Hungry am I ?" before we begin to eat our lunch or dinner...

Deepak Chopra is a vegetarian. I have been reading an amazing book - Creating Health by Deepak Chopra. Deepak Chopra says " Pay attention to eating. Eat when you are hungry, and do not eat when you are not hungry." In the book, he also says, " Along with many other physicians, I am convinced that a vegetarian diet is the best one for health."

Here are some interesting articles from Chopra.com

Breakfast - Nutritious and Delicious Plant-based Smoothies

Unprocessed Vegan food(plant-based) is very good for our health and environment. With some planning, it is possible for everyone in the family to eat wholesome plant-based food. Start your day with fruit smoothies...

For breakfast, indulge in delicious FRUITS. Make smoothies with seasonal fruits.  Make smoothies with banana, dates and mango. You can also make "green smoothies" by blending few curry leaves, ripe mango and banana. If you don't have curry leaves, you can make smoothies with spinach, banana or strawberries. There are so many choices...

Recently, I read few interesting articles about nutritious plant-based food.

Muscle - Building Vegan Recipes

When you tell people that you are a Vegan, the first question they ask you is , "Where do you get your proteins?" Well, I get my proteins from Channa masala, tasty Sambars, and sprouted salads . Sometimes I get proteins from Tofu, and  Tempeh curry. And occasionally, I like to eat quinoa with vegetable curries. The list is endless, so many plant-based dishes are full of proteins.

Today, I found great recipes brimming with proteins. High-protein Breakfast shake, Chickpea salad and Tofu salad. You should visit this website http://www.mensfitness.com/nutrition/healthy-recipes/11-muscle-building-vegan-recipes/slide/2
