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.

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. 🌱

My Go-To Healthy Vegan Chocolate Cake
Serves: 14-16 • Total Time 45 mins • FODMAP Rating: Medium

With 6 kids and 8 birthdays in the Spring, I had to find a way to make a birthday cake that didn't spike my blood sugar, was vegan, and actually tasted good. This is what came out of many tries and fails. Below is just the cake recipe. My favorite frosting recipe is made with sweet potatoes from Faithful Plateful right here: https://faithfulplateful.com/the-healthiest-chocolate-frosting/ I have also tried THIS ONE with avocados and really liked it too.

Ingredients
2 cups flour (I use white wheat)
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup cacao
2 teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 cup water
2 teaspoons vanilla
One can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained (can sub with other beans if needed)

Instructions

1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

2. In a blender mix the milk, vanilla, water, and chickpeas until it becomes a smooth paste.

3. Mix the wet ingredients from the blender with the dry ingredients in the bowl until everything is incorporated.

4. Add the mixture to three greased round pans.

5. Cook in the oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

6. While cake is cooking, make your frosting.

7. Once cake is done, let cool, then frost and add your favorite fruit to decorate!
