Below is a quick overview of the major food categories you’ll enjoy on a Whole Foods Plant-Based Diet.
Fruits: Any type of fruit including apple, bananas, grapes, strawberries, citrus fruits, etc.

There are plenty of other foods you can also enjoy, including nuts, seeds, avocados, tofu, tempeh, whole-grain flours and breads, and plant-based milks. However, we recommend eating these foods in moderation, because they are more calorie-dense and can contribute to weight gain.
