It’s time to hop on the bandwagon and join the brilliant bloggers that have created lists of healthy ingredients and recipes to explore while staying cooped up in your house. Whether it is a worldwide virus that’s forcing you to rely on your pantry staples, or a “kitchen purge” kind of day, these recipes are a great way to use those shelf-stable ingredients.

Interestingly, when people who are not used to following a plant-based diet are forced to cook with canned goods, they may feel that doing so is challenging or that they won’t be getting sufficient nutrients. Thankfully, these items provide a variety of benefits from protein, iron and fibre to vitamin A, C and magnesium.

Try out these tasty and simple recipes and stay healthy friends, xo.
