Welcome to Tasting to Thrive, your go-to spot for vibrant, nourishing plant-based recipes that are simple enough for busy weeknights but satisfying enough to share with friends, family, or just your hungry self.

Since 2019, Tasting to Thrive has grown into a trusted hub for evidence-based nutrition, approachable recipes, and thoughtful conversations about health, balance, and intuitive eating. Whether you’re craving a quick and healthy dinner, a high-protein plant-based meal, or a comforting recipe made a little healthier, you’ll find recipes that make eating well fun, easy, and downright delicious.

From easy tofu recipes to hearty bean and legume dishes, this site is all about recipes that fuel your body and delight your taste buds! Some of my personal and reader favorites are the irresistibly delicious 20-Minute Marry Me Chickpeas, flavorful 10-Minute Spiced Black Beans, and indulgent-but-nourishing Healthy Brownie Batter Overnight Oats. You’ll also find plenty of sweet potato recipes, hearty grain bowls, high-protein vegan meals, and fuss-free weeknight dinners to make meal planning stress-free.

This website is run by me, Lauren McNeill, RD MPH, a plant-based registered dietitian, cookbook author, and recipe developer. I personally write, test, and photograph every recipe, so you can be confident it’ll actually work in your kitchen…and taste amazing.

My mission is to make plant-based eating approachable, practical, and joyful, without any of the confusion or stress that can come with nutrition advice.
