Main components

Chow mein noodles provide a quick source of energy through carbohydrates.

Cabbage: Low calorie and nutrient dense!

  • Contains antioxidants like polyphenols and sulforaphane (especially in green and red cabbage) that help reduce inflammation and protect cells from oxidative stress.
  • Compounds in cabbage can support liver detox pathways, helping the body process and eliminate toxins.

  • Rich in Vitamin C (supports immunity), vitamin K (bone health), potassium (healthy BP) and folate (supports DNA and cell growth).

Carrots: Beta-carotene gives carrots their bright orange color (turns into Vitamin A, which supports eyes, immune system and skin)!

  • High in dietary fiber, which promotes gut health, aids digestion, and helps regulate blood sugar.

Hey!

I’m Madeline! One icky piece of chicken a few years ago quickly led me to plant-based eating. But I’ll admit, those irksome comments from a friend or family around the holidays, gets you thinking. You know, maybe we vegans are sickly haha. No no, we’re definitely fine and likely much healthier. But, most people do lack iron, and vegans definitely struggle with B12. And if you feel sluggish all the time, you just may be one of those people. 

Eat well, feel good :)

So, my goal here is to make it easier for people to connect their daily health directly to the food they eat. Eat well, feel good!
