Rip is joined by Brandi Doming, the creative force behind The Vegan 8 and the brand-new cookbook, Vegan Wholesome. Brandi’s plant-based journey began as a deeply personal mission—to support her husband’s health. What followed was a total transformation in their kitchen and a powerful ripple effect that’s now helping thousands of people embrace simple, nourishing, and oil-free plant-based meals.
Brandi shares how her fitness and dance background shaped her approach to health, why she’s obsessed with keeping recipes as simple as possible, and how plant-based eating became a path to healing—not just for her husband, but for her whole family.
She and Rip also dig into some standout recipes from the new book that you won’t believe are oil-free and dairy-free.
Whether you’re new to plant-based eating or just looking for a little kitchen inspiration, this conversation will remind you that food can be both simple and spectacular.

0:00.0 | I'm Ray Besselston, and you're listening to the Plant Strong podcast. |
0:05.2 | If you're someone who thinks a whole food, plant-based diet is too complicated, too time-consuming, |
0:12.9 | or just plain bland, get ready to have those excuses roasted and toasted with my guest today, Brandy Doming, known for her fast and flavorful recipes, many with less than eight ingredients. |
0:30.9 | Brandy is back with her latest book, Vegan, Wholesome, and we'll have her story right after these words from Plant Strong. |
0:42.4 | I want to read to you all an email that I received earlier this week. |
0:47.6 | Hi, Rip, I'm Carolyn, and I just wanted to share how your meal plan bundle has completely changed the way that I |
0:55.4 | approached food. I wanted to eat healthier for years, but juggling a busy schedule made it feel |
1:01.4 | nearly impossible for me to stay consistent. I'd start strong and then fall off when life got chaotic, |
1:08.6 | which was often. This bundle gave me something that I didn't even |
1:13.1 | know that I needed a flexible system. With just one weekly grocery trip and pantry staples |
1:20.2 | from Plan Strong, I suddenly had everything that I needed to make quick, satisfying meals |
1:26.5 | without starting from scratch every day. |
1:29.5 | And what I love most is the versatility. I can mix and match based on what I'm craving, |
1:36.3 | and even when my schedule throws me off, I'm never more than a few minutes away from a healthy |
1:41.4 | meal that I'm actually excited to eat. I finally feel in control of my |
1:46.8 | food choices without feeling boxed in. Thanks for making life easier. I'm a forever fan of all that you do. |
1:57.0 | Caroline. Well, Caroline, thank you for taking the time to write me. It means so much to hear how |
2:05.1 | you've been helped with our system. And if any of you out there, if you want to try the |
2:09.3 | meal plan pantry bundle that provides a full week of breakfast, lunches, dinners, and snacks, |
2:16.0 | just head on over to planstrong.com. And for a limited time, |
2:20.9 | you'll get a free box of popcorn with your order of the full bundle. |
