DAIRY FREE | VEGETARIAN | VEGAN
Health Note:
You can never go wrong with fresh veg!
Going plant-based means that oftentimes we have a surplus of fresh veg available in our fridges that may be getting a little wrinklier than we would like.
Before it goes bad and you have to throw it out (or compost it) try out our harvest veg stir-fry recipe!
Buying fresh does not have to be expensive when you are savvy with your produce.
Rummage through your fridge, ‘harvest’ all the fresh veg you can find and let’s get started!
