Naturally, vegetables should be a staple in any plant-based diet. Brigitte explained that veggies offer up a variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fibre, which can help lower your risk of chronic illnesses, fight bloat, and more.
"Aim to have two to three cups of veggies at lunch and dinner to help you stay satiated," she told POPSUGAR. "Have something green at each meal, like chard, romaine [lettuce], kale, spinach, broccoli, green beans, or asparagus, and then mix in the other colours — reds, oranges, yellows, blues, and white — on top, such as cauliflower, tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers, aubergine, courgette, and squash."
