It’s Plant Power Day on 7 March 2021 and here’s everything you need to know about it.
Plant Power Day is the perfect solution for those trying to include more foliage in their diet while still keeping their carnivore habits.

The best way to celebrate Plant Power Day is to have an entire set of meals during the day that is completely based on plants.
Plant-based foods tend to be:
Packed with a wide range of vitamins and minerals
Fibre-filled
Heart-healthy
GOOD FOR OUR PLANET
