Alongside vegetarian and vegan diets is a concept called “plant-based” eating. Lexie Palmer, aka @thehealthyavo on Instagram, says eating plant-based means incorporating lots of veggies and grains into her diet while avoiding packaged foods. Palmer has been eating plant-based for two years and started her Instagram account in September 2019 after starting on a healthier path.
“Plant-based is a lot less strict than being straight vegan,” Palmer says. “You can still be a vegan and still eat unhealthy, so to me plant-based is just eating what comes from the earth.”
