Why plant-based?

Outside Eats uses plant-based solutions because foods like beans, rice, lentils, oats, potatoes, vegetables and peanut butter can be affordable, flexible and easy to build meals around.

Affordable

Staples like dry beans and rice cost far less per serving than most meats.

Flexible

The same few foods turn into breakfast, lunch and dinner.

No kitchen needed

Many meals work with a microwave, hot water or no cooking at all.

Start with what you have.
