Want to Eat More Plants, Lose Weight, and Feel Better?

You already know eating more plants is good for you. But knowing what to do and actually making it happen in your everyday life are two very different things.

That's exactly why I created The PlantWhys Collective.

It's a complete plant-based nutrition, fitness, and coaching membership designed to help you lose weight, build strength, improve your health, and create habits that actually stick.

And you don't have to do it alone.

Here's what's waiting for you inside:

  • Step-by-Step Jumpstart Program: A clear, simple plan to help you transition to a more plant-based lifestyle without feeling overwhelmed.

  • Meal Plans, Recipes & Cooking Classes: Practical tools to make healthy eating easier, even when your family isn't eating the same way.

  • Weekly Live Coaching & Support: Get your questions answered, work through challenges, and stay consistent with the help of experienced coaches. And you can join a live call with Ali every week. 

  • Pilates & Strength Training: Build a stronger body with approachable workouts designed for real life, including workouts you can do in just five minutes. Perfect for every stage in fitness. 

  • Mindset & Emotional Eating Support: Learn how to manage cravings, break the all-or-nothing cycle, and develop a healthier relationship with food.

  • A Supportive Community: Surround yourself with people who are working toward the same goals and cheering you on along the way.

This isn't about being perfectly plant-based. It's about making progress, one meal and one habit at a time.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, lower cholesterol, support healthy blood pressure, have more energy, or simply feel stronger as you age, you deserve a plan that makes healthy living feel doable.

Delicious Vegan French Toast (Dairy-Free & Egg-Free)

Delicious Vegan French Toast

Delicious Vegan French Toast (Dairy-Free & Egg-Free)
Makes: 9 pieces • Total Time: 15 minutes • FODMAP Rating: low

This is a great recipe to use up slightly drier or older bread. It is fast, easy and nutritious french toast! You will not only love the taste, but you will love the smell of this french toast cooking in your pan! If you have Trader Joe’s, try their vegan brioche sliced bread for a nice thick toast.

Ingredients
1 cup plant-based milk
½ cup canned pumpkin
¼ cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, preferably coconut
1 teaspoon flaxseed, ground
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ginger
dash of ground cloves
9 pieces bread, preferably whole wheat
oil spray, to prevent sticking

Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients except for the bread. It is best to whisk the cornstarch with cold plant-based milk to make sure no lumps remain before adding the other ingredients.
Lightly spray a non-stick pan or skillet and place over medium heat. If you are using a stainless steel pan, best to let the pan heat and place drops of water and watch it sizzle to check if it is hot enough for oil. Turn down the heat slightly and increase as needed to avoid burning toast.
Dip each side of the bread quickly to minimize it getting soggy and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Note that these do take just a little longer to cook than the typical french toast.

*Don’t forget to preload on vegetables before you eat!
*Gluten-Free: Check the frozen aisle for gluten-free bread alternatives
*FODMAP Swaps: If using oat or soy milk keep it under ⅔ cup per serving and increase as tolerated
