Dr. Greger developed the daily dozen using the best available balance of evidence from scientific nutrition research. Rather than being a meal plan or diet in itself, the Daily Dozen is a checklist that will inspire you to include some of the healthiest foods in your daily routine and encourage you to design more balanced meals. The Daily Dozen is meant to serve as an aspirational minimum, so feel free to add even more whole, plant-based foods throughout the day.
Here are some recipes to help you check some Daily Dozen boxes.
