Episode 105: Rachel Steenland & The Plant Riot
“When I was 5 or 6 years old I made this connection that the duck that we’d just eaten was flapping around in our backyard just a few hours earlier… and I remember thinking, this is odd.”
On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast, I sit down with the amazing Rachel Steenland. Rachel (and her husband, Dr. Andrew Pow) is the woman behind the super popular plant-based recipe brand The Plant Riot.
We talk about how a family duck that ended up on the dinner table as a child in Australia made her first ask questions about food, how when she first went vegan she didn’t quite get it right from a health perspective, why she started The Plant Riot, how she has grown The Plant Riot to over 160,000 followers on Instagram, her personal experience with emotional eating and weight related health issues, why with a little preparation plant-based eating is not difficult, what she recommends for trying to shift to a more plant-based diet, and why she’s on a mission to show people how to make all of their favorite recipes plant-based.
