Your Blueprint to a Plant-Based Diet: The Power Of Veggies
The Power of Veggies is an introductory course for anyone who wants to explore and benefit from eating more plant-based foods.
In this introductory course, experienced wellness chef, Christine Waltermyer, shares some of her unique veggie recipes with you (cherished by her students and personal chef clients). Don’t worry; the recipes in this course are quick and easy to prepare for beginners, using minimal and easy-to-find ingredients.
All of the recipes in this course are gluten and dairy-free. You’ll not only learn some great recipes, but you’ll also discover valuable information about the vegetables you’re about to consume.
Christine will teach you some simple techniques, which will allow you to:
- Select the best vegetables for overall health
- Replace certain vegetables known as “nightshades” without sacrificing flavor if you have any inflammation or allergy issues
- Be nourished by maximum nutrients by selecting the right vegetables for your dish
- Enjoy the flavors of simple recipes, making veggies tasty (even when it comes to picky eaters!)
Here's how we've structured this course for you
(Fun fact: There's an assignment with each lesson to reinforce your learnings)
The first lesson will be about building your foundation. Without a strong foundation, you will not understand the idea and logic behind choosing specific vegetables. The first thing anyone would do is shop for vegetables at a grocery store.
I will share an exact process of how you can select the right types of vegetables to provide all essential nutrients to your body. On top of that, you will also learn about veggie alternatives to what are known as “nightshade vegetables,” and why you would want to minimize these vegetables in your diet (especially if you have inflammation issues).
After building a strong foundation, we can now move into the nitty-gritty of this course. The second part of the video series will be practical, where we will teach you about a supper-veggie named Kale and you’ll watch me make a delicious Kale Salad. Kale has earned a couple of nicknames due to its value. It’s been dubbed "the queen of greens" and a "nutritional powerhouse."
A single cup of kale offers more than 200% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of vitamin A and more than 100% of the RDI of vitamin C. Moreover, it also includes a high amount of vitamin K and other antioxidants (which reduce inflammation).
Are you worried about its taste? It can be bitter, unless you learn my secret strategies to make it fantastic! Chef Christine will cover her best tips to enable you too to recreate her signature kale salad.
Looking to lower your cholesterol intake but still enjoy tasty comfort food? We have just the recipe for you...a hotdog made from a carrot! Yep. You heard right. It tastes great and it's full of essential nutrients. Carrot contains a healthy amount of beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and other antioxidants. Scientists have linked regularly eating carrots to improved eye health, healthy weight management, and lower cholesterol levels.
Even if you’re not a huge carrot fan, I know you will love this carrot hotdog. The seasonings in this recipe takes ordinary carrots to the next level.

What have former students said about our programs?
I was eating on the go a lot. I knew how to pick whole, healthy foods but I had a difficult time putting it into meals. I learned how to put together so many different meals with all the different ideas.
It was really helpful with changing my basic eating habits. The ideas just made it really easy."
– Anna K.
We had 3 kids relatively quickly...and I embraced that. I love being a dad. I definitely put a lot more focus on being a dad than I did on being a runner or even working out.
I got into the program to try and develop some culinary skills along with some healthy habits. I just completed the program and feel like I’m ready to tackle the world.
– Ed R.
The one thing I learned… is that I can find my inner voice, know what I want, and adapt my cravings to something that is good for me and in the healthiest way possible.
Now I eat healthier and know more about vegetables and grains. I’m more open to try new things.
– Giovana V.
The natural part attracted me since I had just started a vegan diet. Because of my busy schedule I would pick up food that I thought was healthy.
I wasn’t sure of the benefit of taking the class versus doing my own research… but after taking the class I realized there was a lot more you had to offer which I don’t think I would have found on my own.
