Let’s shine a light on zucchini—mild, tender and endlessly versatile. While it’s a true star of summer harvests, zucchini is thankfully available year-round, making it a reliable go-to for savory plant-based meals anytime you’re craving something fresh and flavorful.
Why You’ll Love Zucchini:
- Naturally hydrating
- Soaks up flavors like a sponge
- Perfect for sautés, soups, pasta dishes & more
- Budget-friendly and super quick to cook
How do you love your zucchini? Grilled, spiralized, sautéed or baked—this humble veggie is ready to do it all. Happy cooking!

I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
