Changes with The Engine 2 Product Line

Engine 2 Food Products will soon no longer be exclusively sold at Whole Food Markets. You’ll soon be able to find Engine 2 Products at other Grocers and Retailers.  Starting mid-August, the Engine 2 Plant-Strong team will begin rolling out their products via their new direct-to-consumer online store! 

For those of you who are new to Engine 2 Food products, below is an article I wrote back in 2014 on the subject.

One of the challenges people have when transitioning to a Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) diet is finding enough time to plan and prepare tasty WFPB meals.  Your WFPB diet should be dominated by fruits, veggies, whole grains and legumes (beans, peas and lentils).  You  may include  small amounts of nuts, seeds, avocados and olives unless you are following Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn’s low-fat “Plant Perfect” diet to reverse heart disease.

Although it is ideal to include only whole plant foods in your diet, this can become difficult and boring for most folks.  Luckily, a healthy WFPB diet can include some minimally processed foods that can add convenience and flavor without adversely affecting your health.  Such foods include but are not limited to:

• Cereals
• Some canned foods
• Whole Grain Pastas
• Brown and Wild Rice
• Plant Milks
• Breads, Tortillas, Wraps etc.
• Applesauce
• Nut Butters (within reason)

When purchasing these or other processed foods, it’s always a good idea to read labels for added salt, fat and sugar.   The Engine 2 products adhere to these healthy guidelines:

• Zero animal products
• No added oils – ever!
• 100% whole gains
• Minimal added sugar – if at all
• Less than 25% total calories from fat
• ~1:1 Ratio of milligrams of sodium to calories (Exception: condiments)
