Mia & Bri's 90% Rule

This is what a grocery shopping trip looks like for us.  Note:  No processed foods.

We love to shop for a colorful array of fruits and vegetables, ensuring we capture plenty of protein from nuts, seeds, tofu, quinoa, and a variety of beans. Plus, we grow many of our own veggies, so the picture above doesn’t even show the heads of lettuce, kale, and cherry tomatoes currently thriving in our garden. I’ll share more about our indoor and outdoor gardening adventures another day! 😊


Our 90% rule is simple: we aim to eat whole food plant-based 90% of the time, keeping fats to less than 25% of our calories (think whole food plant strong!). That leaves 10% for occasional treats like whole food plant-based meats and cheeses that don’t meet the fat criteria. This little indulgence—whether it's enjoying Mia’s Lasagna or adding some plant-based cheese to our pizza—makes our eating plan more enjoyable and helps us cater to guests’ tastes, too. I’ll highlight which recipes fall into that 10% category for special occasions!


To make weekly shopping easier I thrive off of Amazon. I have included links to favorite foods (some may be harder to locate locally) that I can keep on hand to make weekly shopping about fresh foods. Now that you know the what and why, stay tuned for the “how” to embrace a whole food plant-based lifestyle. Rock on!
