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 just need a simple path—and someone to walk it with you.

The Best Vegan Cookies (That Are Also Crazy Cheap & Easy!)

apple cookies Aug 01, 2025

Time: 30 minutes | Makes: 40 cookies

There are SO many amazing vegan cookie recipes out there…
But let’s be real: most of them are pricey. 🤑
Maple syrup, almond flour, tahini, fancy nut butters, coconut sugar… all great—but also expensive.

This version? Uses pantry staples you probably already have.
And instead of regular butter, we’re using a healthier vegan butter—with less of it.
(I love Smart Balance—nearly half the calories and fat of regular butter, and it tastes 💯.)

You can mix up the flour, swap the sugars—these cookies are forgiving and always turn out amazing.

Soft. Chewy. Golden. And completely dairy-free.
Here’s the recipe that changed lives (okay, at least snack time):

🥄 Dry Ingredients:

3 cups white wheat, oat, or spelt flour (wheat pastry flour is also awesome)
1 ½ tsp baking soda
¾ tsp salt
¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
1 cup vegan chocolate chips (or more—no judgment)

🥄 Wet Ingredients:

¾ cup plant milk
¾ cup melted vegan butter (Smart Balance is my go-to)
¾ tsp pure vanilla extract

🔥 Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325°F.
Mix dry ingredients in one bowl, wet ingredients in another.
Combine everything to form a dough. Add a splash of milk if too dry.
Scoop, roll, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 11–13 minutes.
Let cool for soft, chewy magic.

Eat warm. Share if you must.
