Imagine if the trash can in your kitchen was actually a treasure trove of plant-based flavor and nutrition, just waiting to be unlocked! 🤯 

In this episode, we'll show you how to turn the usual vegetable scraps into a culinary goldmine, along with other exciting methods for slashing food waste and living a more sustainable, whole food, plant based lifestyle. 🌱

Think about it - every time you chop up a carrot or peel a potato, you're tossing away valuable nutrients and flavor compounds that could elevate your healthy cooking to the next level. 

But what if you could harness that potential and turn it into a rich, savory vegetable broth that's packed with vitamins and minerals? 🥕

In this episode, we'll dive into the genius of upcycling kitchen scraps into a simple, nutrient-dense plant-based meal base using the power of an Instant Pot. You'll learn the secrets of pre-seasoning with fresh herbs and spices like parsley, thyme, and bay leaves, and how to store your homemade broth like a pro. 

But that's not all - we'll also share game-changing tips for infusing brown rice with flavor, reheating dishes with added moisture, and extending the shelf-life of your fresh greens along with your other delicious health-promoting veggies. 🥗

🌱 If you're ready to stop throwing away so much produce, this episode is for you!
