You Can Eat Grandma’s Recipes Veganized | Dr Monique May

Can you really eat plant-based without giving up the food, flavor and recipes you grew up with? Dr. Monique May says absolutely. In this episode of Unapologetically Grown, Audra Madison and Val Royal sit down with Dr. Monique May, The Physician in the Kitchen, for a conversation about plant-based eating, culture, health, entrepreneurship and reinvention. Dr. May breaks down some of the biggest misconceptions about eating plant-based including the question everybody asks: Where do you get your protein? She also explains why changing the way you eat doesn't have to happen overnight and how traditional family recipes can still have a place at the table. Her philosophy? “You can eat grandma’s recipes veganized.” But this episode goes beyond what's on the plate. Dr. May shares how she took her experience as a physician into the kitchen, developed her own plant-based food products, and learned firsthand what it takes to enter the food industry as a Black woman entrepreneur. We talk about: • Starting small when you want to change the way you eat • Plant-based eating without sacrificing culture or flavor • The truth about protein and plant-based diets • Turning an idea into an actual food product • Navigating entrepreneurship as a Black woman • The lessons that come when things don't go according to plan • Finding the courage to share your gifts with the world Whether you're curious about plant-based eating, thinking about changing your relationship with food, or sitting on an idea you've been afraid to pursue, pull up a chair for this one. Because grown doesn't mean we're finished. UNAPOLOGETICALLY GROWN No Sugar Coating. Zero Apologies. Just Grown Women Truth. Like this episode if something Dr. May said hit home.
