Before You Dive Into This Delicious Recipe… 🍲

Let me ask you something.

Have you ever said, “I know I should eat more plants... but I just don’t know how to make it work in real life?”

If so—you’re not alone. And you’re exactly who I created The PlantWhys Collective for.

It’s not a diet. It’s not a challenge.
It’s a lifestyle shift for real women with real lives—who want to feel better, lose weight, and stop feeling overwhelmed by all the “shoulds” when it comes to food.

Inside the Collective, you’ll get:

✅ A gentle, step-by-step 40-day Jumpstart
✅ Weekly live support + check-ins with certified coaches
✅ Quick, feel-good Pilates workouts (just 5 minutes a day)
✅ Monthly mindset coaching and book club
✅ Live cooking classes + bonus cookbooks
✅ And a private community (no Facebook drama here)

It’s like the support system you’ve always wanted, all in one place—with no guilt, no fads, and no shame.

👉 Click here to check it out and join the Collective

You’ll see everything laid out clearly—whether you want to dip your toe in monthly or go all-in for the year.

You don’t need to go plant-based overnight.
You just need a simple path—and someone to walk it with you.

Now… ready for the recipe? Let’s do this. 🌱

BBQ Carrot Li’l Smokies
Serves: 8 • Total Time: 6 hours • FODMAP rating: medium to high

This is a fun take on traditional Li’l Smokies, minus the beef! Carrots are a great source of beta-carotene and fiber. Try this instead of plain carrots next time and see how everyone loves it! Make it a meal by serving with bread or tossed salad.

Ingredients
1 pound baby carrots
¼ cup vegetable broth or ¼ teaspoon vegetable bouillon
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup coconut aminos, soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice
1 ½ teaspoon liquid smoke
¼ teaspoon dijon mustard
½ teaspoon paprika, preferably smoked
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 cup barbecue sauce (i.e. Stubbs Low Sugar brand)

Instructions
1.Whisk all ingredients together minus the carrots and BBQ sauce into a slow cooker. Once whisked, place carrots and cook for 1 ½ hour.
2.Drain off the marinade and save. You can use this marinade to make carrot dogs or freeze!
3.Add bbq sauce and cook for another 4-5 hours and enjoy!

*Don’t forget to preload on vegetables before you eat!
*You can make these in a pressure cooker and use the slow cooker function and follow the same cooking instructions.
*FODMAP Swaps: Use appropriate substitutions for garlic and onion if sensitive or keep it to under 1 teaspoon total of garlic and onion per serving, keep in mind barbecue sauce, vegetable broth and bouillon will have it as well.
