When I look at all these snacks, nearly every one listed has a food ingredient in it that is on the “moderation” list. I try to stay away from Breads, Tortillas, Crusts, Nuts, etc, but then when I see this list, although it all looks yummy, it isn’t truly Whole Food Plant Based eating anymore. Understand I love these foods but I am trying really hard to avoid them. I would like to see truly whole food plant based snacks.
Want to eat less and less meat.
All sounds yummy. Thank you.
How about stuffed mushrooms?

Looking forward to new recipes to eat healthier
