The recipe genius, two-time New York Times bestselling author, and social media powerhouse joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to share the fastest ways to make healthy plant-based meals when life is busy, groceries are expensive, and takeout is calling your name.

Carleigh’s new cookbook, PlantYou Quickies, features more than 140 fast plant-based recipes for busy people, including five-minute prep ideas, Dump & Bake dinners, and S.O.S. Suppers — Save Our Sanity meals for the nights when you almost order delivery.

In this conversation, Carleigh and Chuck talk about:

  • Quick healthy meals when you have no time
  • Easy plant-based dinner shortcuts
  • Frozen vegetables and pantry staples that save money
  • High-fiber meals and plant diversity
  • Plant Points for gut health
  • Raising a plant-based family
  • Healthy meals for busy parents
  • How to make comfort foods healthier
  • Why takeout tastes better when it is a choice, not desperation

Carleigh also shares a special pre-order bonus for Exam Roomies. She is offering a six-month membership to her weekly plant-based meal plans and shopping lists for anyone who preorders PlantYou Quickies, so you can get cooking right away.
