Video: How to Make Meatless Meals More Satisfying

This week on my Facebook page, I taught a free class on “How to Make Meatless Meals More Satisfying.”

If you feel like vegetarian or vegan meals leave you hungry, this class is for you!

The inspiration behind this class is the survey I often send to people who join my free challenges or my group coaching membership. I usually ask people, “what's the biggest challenge for you when it comes to eating more veggies?”

Here are some of the responses I've gotten around this topic:

“I know I feel better when I eat more veggies, but I'm not sure how to make vegetarian meals more filling.”
“My husband (or family) say they're hungry after vegetarian meals.”
“How can I make meatless meals less boring?”
