Ep. 120: Rip Esselstyn Talks Food and Family with Julieanna Hever on the "Choose You Now" Podcast

It truly is a wonderful time to celebrate and give thanks with friends and family. Speaking of friends, today is a special episode because we're actually replaying an interview that Rip did earlier this year on Julieanna Hever’s podcast “Choose You Now.” If you don’t know, Julieanna is the original plant-based dietitian and her new book “The Choose You Now Diet” is coming out in early December. You’ll want to check that out for sure.

In this bite-sized episode, Rip shares his personal journey with plants and how he makes this lifestyle simple and fun so that it not only works for him, but also for his entire family, including three young children.

You'll learn:

• Rip's favorite salad dressing recipe

• Rip's Sunday meal ritual that the entire family loves

• His go-to simple meals that ANYONE can assemble in no time

This Thanksgiving, let's express gratitude for PLANTS…I hope you enjoy this special episode.
