Jackfruit: The Trending Meat Replacement!
If you’ve been plant-based for a while, you probably already love jackfruit as a healthy, whole-food meat alternative. And if you’re new to this journey—welcome! Jackfruit has been trending in plant-based kitchens for the past few years, winning over both beginners and seasoned plant-based eaters alike. It’s a fiber-rich, nutrient-packed option that’s naturally meaty in texture and absorbs flavors beautifully.
Have you tried jackfruit yet? How do you like to prepare it? If not, here’s my favorite way to use it—give it a try and let me know what you think!
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.
