With many people electing to transition to a plant based diet, it can leave you in a bit of a dilemma as your whole life begins to change. Suddenly those quick stops to your favorite fast food chain on the way home are no longer an option. Also, if you aren’t plant based, but you’re planning a special get together where friends who are will be in attendance, you want them to have something other than salad to choose from on the menu right? Hopefully this guide will help you to not only discover some places that can help solve those dilemmas, but also circulate dollars through black owned businesses. Be sure to save this list. As the industry is growing, so will this list. Check out my new brand The COCOA Initiative that will highlight brands owned by minorities and by females for future events and features.
