Where eating plants becomes the easy, obvious next step.

Hey, I’m Gen — vegan nutritionist, myth-buster, and someone who once thought vegans were slightly unhinged.

Whether you’re here for the animals, the planet, your health, or because the future feels a bit wobbly… you’re in the right place.

I’ll show you how to make plant-based eating fit your real, beautifully messy life.

  • My son was iron deficient so that was what brought me to your site to try and find ways of boosting his snacks and overall nutrition. He loves the chocolate chickpea slice and the iron rich breakfast slice. My pantry now includes besan, quinoa flakes, cacao and nutritional yeast. After reading your posts I don’t worry about him getting enough protein anymore although iron is something I have to continue to think about. So a big thank you!

  • The nutrition assessment was thorough, practical and so reassuring. Highly recommended for any vegan child. I’ve studied lots of general resources though the personalised nature of the assessment gave me specific and practical steps to support me to ensure my son is meeting and continues to meet his nutrition requirements. The process was easy and the advice was supportive while being clear. Thank you Gen
