Mark Bittman visited the set of Today to discuss his popular flexitarian eating plan, “vegan before six,” as well as showcase a few of his favorite vegan recipes.
As you may have guessed from the name, “vegan before six,” is not about eliminating every animal product from your diet, but eating plant-based for every meal except dinner and snacks after that.
The principles of vegan before six, or VB6, were outlined on the show and include the following practices:
- Eat fruit/vegetables in abundance
- Eat fewer animal products
- Eat (almost) no junk food
- Cook at home as much as possible
- Consider quality over quantity
- See your weight as just one component of good health
It’s easy to follow this advice with recipes from Bittman’s latest book Eat Vegan Before Six.
Watch the clip to see Bittman demonstrate Breakfast Pilaf, Creamed Mushrooms on Toast with Pureed White Beans, Spiked Guacamole with whole grain chips and extra vegetables like lettuce and radishes and vegan creamsicles with silken tofu.
