As the name implies, plant-forward diets simply feature more plant foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts, rather than foods from animals, such as meat and dairy. Although both meat and dairy might seem like staple ingredients in your dishes, moving to a healthy, plant-forward diet doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice flavor or enjoyment.
