164: From Eating Bologna to Plant-Powered Family Meals with Brittany

What happens when a person goes from junk food, processed meats, and boxed convenience foods to eating mostly plant-based?

In this episode, Brittany from Clean Food Dirty Girl shares the messy path that took her from growing up on a highly processed Standard American Diet to building a plant-powered family with her three kids.

She talks about discovering farmers markets and community gardening after moving to Washington, and the crisp fall day when she fell in love with fresh produce. She also shares how Clean Food Dirty Girl’s meal plans helped transform the way she feeds her family and taught her how to cook without oil, dairy, or animal products, which ultimately led her to work for our team.

Whether your family is surviving on highly processed foods, not ready to give up the cheese, or you're already dabbling in plant-based meals, Brittany shares practical tips to help you go from SAD to Dirty in the most delicious way.
