Despite many years of experience in the food business and a degree in restaurant management, when Susan watched “Forks Over Knives“ in 2012, she realized she had been out of alignment with her values and became vegan. In 2016 she received her certification in Plant Based Nutrition from T. Colin Campbell’s program. Since then, her mission is to help you make the shift to a whole food plant based/vegan way of eating and include other healthy lifestyle habits, such as exercise, meditation and sleep. Her “Plant Powered Express” guide can help you make quick, colorful and delicious meals in 5 minutes or less.
