The Healthy Pantry

In 2015, when I first decided to go plant-based and get healthy, I was completely overwhelmed with the idea of making this transition as I was completely unaware of how to grocery shop with purpose, I had little experience with cooking and had no idea what type of kitchen tools I needed. Whoa was me!

After lots of research on different blogs and a LOT of trial and error, I've compiled a list of the things I use the most and make sure to have on hand. This more of a general guideline rather than an in-depth description. Check out the Wellness Blog for tips and tricks to meal planning and prep, how to grocery shop with ease and how to purge your pantry!
