The Brand New PLANT BASED challenge

Plant Power returns this week with a totally different challenge: ROOT VEGETABLES; and is that at this time in many parts of the world is eaten abundantly as an expression of these Holidays. These are days when we usually have more time to make a delicious and varied menu.

We have chosen root vegetables for this challenge, as they are very versatile and we can prepare multiple recipes with them; from soups to pies, smoothies, sweets... the variety is wide and diverse. So we challenge you to be very creative and present us with a delicious 100% vegan recipe, in which this ingredient is the protagonist.

We hope you have a lot of fun with this new thematic challenge at HIVE!
