Dear Plant-Powered Community,
Welcome to this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today, let’s explore the refreshing, vibrant world of mint – a humble herb with extraordinary powers.
Mint is more than just a breath freshener. It’s a nutritional powerhouse that adds a burst of flavor and wellness to our lives:
- Supports digestive health
- Packed with antioxidants
- Naturally cooling and invigorating
- Grows easily in gardens and even small pots
This week, I’m expressing gratitude for:
- Transforms simple dishes into culinary masterpieces
- Provides natural relief for upset stomachs
- Adds excitement to smoothies, teas and salads
- Connects us to centuries of herbal wisdom

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.
