For those in lockdown Melbourne this new eBook from Emma Roche might be just what you need: 'Eating Plant-Based For $3 A Day'. The eBook contains recipes, grocery lists and weekly meal plans for an inexpensive 21-day whole food plant-based challenge. She has designed the 3-week menu plan for two people, but also gives tips for adjusting the meal plan for one person. The $3 is in US dollars, but Emma is Australian so the ingredients she uses are ones we are familiar with and the amounts are listed in both metric and imperial.
The eBook is FREE, however Emma invites you to make a donation if you would like to (no obligation!). All money raised will go to organisations that are working to address issues around food security, food accessibility, and the health and well being of vulnerable groups in Australia. During August, all proceeds will be donated to the the following organisations:
OzHarvest: Australia’s leading food rescue organisation, OzHarvest collect quality excess food from commercial outlets and deliver it directly to charities supporting people in need across the country. They also offer education programs aimed at enabling positive change for vulnerable people.
Gunawirra: The mission of Gunawirra is working together with communities to improve the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island mothers and children.
