Toni Okamoto On Plant-Based On A Budget, Being Creative With Food & Effective Activism

"I celebrate every plant based choice. So if it's Meatless Monday's, if it's a vegan burrito that you're eating in your day, I applaud that. There's no time for shame, there's no time for judgement, just keep choosing plant-based."

Toni Okamoto is the founder of Plant-Based on a Budget, a hugely popular website and meal plan that shows you that eating plant based does not have to be expensive. She has also written two cook books; Plant-Based on a Budget  and The Super Easy Vegan Slow Cooker Cookbook, and the co-host of The Plant-Powered People Podcast. She's been featured by NBC News, Parade Magazine and was in the popular documentary, What the Health.
