High-Protein Plant-Based Diet for Beginners: Quick and Easy Recipes for Everyday Meals

I've now made quite a few recipes from this book and every one has been a hit. What I like is that these are straight, unpretentious yet completely delicious recipes with straightforward ingredients. For less experienced cooks, like myself, I do recommend following her directions exactly re timing and amounts at least the first time you make it. I don't really know what I'm doing, but when I try to modify them it's not as good as the original. The ingredient lists are broken out separately so it's easy to shop for, and the ingredients are presented separately so you don't need to read a damn novel just to know what to put in and in what order. Highly recommended!

This is such a generous cookbook -- it has menus, it has shopping lists, it has food prep, it has great tips, it has delicious easy recipes! I'm very hard on recipes, playing with recipes to a ridiculous extent, keeping the same ingredients but turning say a smoothie into overnight oats or a skillet dish into a bowl I make in the microwave, but this cookbook's recipes work even with that treatment because the flavors are fabulous! It's not just a repeat of the recipes I see in ever so many cookbooks and food magazines. I think it somehow should have had a clearer title -- of course it has a healthy level of protein and is plant-based, but it's great for definite non-beginners too and it is ever so much more! Many many thanks to the author!

The recipes are good and I was able to use many of them to create my own 1800 calorie meal plan with 100 grams of protein per day. I hope there will be a new edition in the future with a few improvements:A meal plan for those of us on a weight loss journey - based on the protein formula in the book, the meal plans didn't have enough protein to meet the needs of people who are struggling with obesity.Protein and calories listed next to each item in the table of contents so beginners can easily find a recipe that meets our needs - since it is for beginners.Suggested alternatives for produce that is out of season or harder to find.

This cookbook is great with helping you easy into eating a high protein enriched diet. It has weekly meal planning and the recipes are delicious. Note I didn’t care for about 5% of them so liking 95% of them in my opinion is really good.

All of the cookbooks tend to be so complicated, not sure how anyone has this much time to cook. The ingredients are not easily accessible to the average person. Also, if your looking for low cal, this isn’t your book - but it is incredibly good for those that are well versed in the kitchen and are fully committed to the lifestyle.

Maya has long been an amazing source for health and wellness practices, especially when it comes to understanding how to create food that is both healthy, enjoyable, and earth loving. From her website to her instagram, and any amount of talks she has given, she is a great source of knowledge in the world of health and wellness. In this book she has poured all her knowledge for food, love for the world, and care for people's wellness into each and every page. As digestible as it gets, she has packaged together so many great recipes, that are easy to make, and delicious. This is a no brainer book for anyone who wants to try eating plant based, and who enjoys great food. I also think Maya has a very realistic and human perspective on eating and living healthy as she communicates in this book and on a great podcast she did recently. It is a gentle approach, with empathy, love, and understanding. That can be hard to find in a nutrition industry that often points fingers and admonishes. Get the book! It's wonderful in so many ways

Recipes are easy and practical. You can find most ingredients at your local grocery store. The broke down categories in the beginning is super helpful when changing ingredients to fit your needs.

This cookbook has great Vegan recipes that are fulfilling.
