What's Inside:

125 Nutrient-packed meals to aid recovery

Every recipe in this vegan cookbook is designed to help you stay healthy and fit on a plant-based diet.

Sports drinks to help fuel your workouts

From switchel drinks to Frozen Matcha Lattes, this book offers plenty of energy-infused beverages to maximize your workouts.

Oil-free options for every recipe

Pureed white beans, flavorful broths, and mushroom stock are just a few of the book's delicious and healthier alternatives to oil.

Boost Your Mornings: Olive-Chickpea Waffles

Makes: 4 to 6 waffles/ Time: 10 min prep; 30 min cook

Soccas are Mediterranean flatbreads made with chickpea flour. They are quick to make and full of nutrition.

1. Preheat a waffle iron, then combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in olives and sun-dried tomatoes, then whisk in the oil followed by the hot water. The batter should be thick but thoroughly combined.

2. Spread about ½ to ¾ cup (120 to 180 ml) batter onto the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook through, according to waffle iron directions, about 6 minutes.

3. Top with hummus and serve.

Variation:

Substitute ½ cup (30 g) chopped flat-leaf parsley for the olives and fold in ¼ cup (40 g) chopped red onion.

  • 2 cups (240 g) chickpea flour (garbanzo bean flour)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary or thyme
  • 1 teaspoon GF baking powder
  • Salt and black pepper
  • ½ cup (90 g) pitted Kalamata olives, chopped
  • ¼ cup (15 g) sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (OF: omit)

    Stepfanie was introduced to mushrooms during her time abroad. Then in 2012, she and her husband moved to the mountains of North Carolina to prioritize healthy living. A temperate rainforest with unparallelled biodiversity, Asheville and the surrounding area is a mecca for natural health, and Stepfanie dove right in, learning about herbal medicine, foraging for plants and mushrooms and soaking up as much information about the natural world as possible. Having followed a plant-based diet since 2010, Stepfanie felt drawn to natural and herbal medicine, including the healing power of mushrooms.

Love This Cookbook!
I bought this book finally because I am a vegan gym rat that wanted to start cooking more. I was already cooking all my meals at home, but I was eating the same foods over & over & I’m not that creative with my seasonings. I am so glad I bought this cookbook because it showed me so many more foods that I could be eating & all different types of seasonings I could be using for my food so I am not eating the same stuff. The recipes are easy & delicious. I like that is has sauces & drinks in addition to entrees & sides. I recommend any vegan athlete to buy this book. It really encourages you to get more creative & helps you cook better!

I really liked the way this book was put together and immediately found several recipes that I can't wait to try.

I have a lot cookbooks, but since health problems made a plant-based diet advisable, I'm starting to collect books that offer main courses and filling side dishes without meat or too much fat.

It's been a couple years now on the new food strategy, but I'm coming to be quite satisfied and happy with my meatless options. I always loved mexican food and tacos work great. I never used to eat smoothies, but now see these are a marvelous and delicious daily addition.

I'm very pleased with this book, the amount of images, the recipes and quality of the printing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good information, not ready to endorse the recipes yet...
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2017
Verified Purchase
There is some good information in here and I really like the idea of what the author is saying. I got this book because I want to get some good, balanced nutrition without relying on meat for protein. I don't mind eating meat--that's fine, but I prefer to be more plant-based when convenient.

There is a good portion of this book that describes the philosophy and goals behind the author's cooking style and I found that useful and informative. Just that fact is worth a few stars. Most of the book is recipes. That's really what I got it for. Unfortunately, the first thing I cooked out of it was a real bomb--nobody in my family would eat more than a few bites of it. I understand that all cook books are going to have things that are better/worse than others, so I needed to try and get myself to choose another, but I was feeling a little gun-shy. After a brief waiting period, we tried 3 more and had better luck. The quinoa confetti salad was a real hit, although we all thought the accompanying dressing had a bit too much cumin (that's OK--the salad by itself was delicious--no dressing necessary). The nut crusted tofu was also delicious, especially with a bit extra of the lemon-mustard sauce.

My favorite thing about the book is that the recipes all follow the philosophy that a healthy food is one that packs as many nutrients in while leaving as many calories out as possible. That's not to say everything is low-calorie, but every calorie is a good, healthy one. There is a lot of plant-based protein and when you eat like this, you can loose fat without starving yourself. ...or at least, it's a method that has been working for me.

The flavor profile is one that will likely be a bit less familiar to the average American household, so I don't know that I would recommend it to parents with kids, unless you are ready to put up with fussing about dinner and/or making a more kid-friendly side dish, but for me, they may be different, but they are still good and I'm going to try some more.

Simple recipes, but very original. I wouldn’t have thought of many of the recipes on my own, even to search online. The section on salad dressings alone is worth the money — game changer. I haven’t paid for salad dressing since getting this book.

Book includes gram measurement for people who like being precise. And cups for people who prefer inaccurate preparation.

3.0 out of 5 stars No macros provided next to recipes
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2019
Verified Purchase
Overall, recipes looked pretty good. Some of the cookbooks aimed toward athletes make overuse of supplements (protein powders) which kind of defeats the purpose for me. This one does not do that which is really good. However - macros are incredibly important to have right there with the recipe. The author consciously decided (and states as much in the beginning) not to include macros next to the recipes and instead points you to his website in order to find that information. This is incredibly inconvenient for a cookBOOK. The whole idea is to have everything in one place - recipe and all. Macros affect in large part how you decide what to make - not including them conveniently destroys this cookbook for me.

What an incredible cookbook it's perfect. Lots of glossy pictures paperback but sturdy. Not only does it have recipes but it gives you ideas on how to spruce up vegetables or berries or rice and how to eat them daily. This not only gives you recipe but it gives you a lot of knowledge about where things come from or ways to substitute items. I have tried to go vegan alot but now I think I actually can without starving. I can do this. Most quality cookbook I have ever owned.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST COOKBOOK EVER!
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2017

Wow, I pre-ordered this book and I was excited, but as I started reading it, I realized this is the best cookbook ever for anyone trying to eat healthy, nutrient-dense, and delicious foods. My husband and I have literally been eating only recipes out of this cookbook since we received it in late May. Matt and Stepfanie offer some blueprint recipes that allow you to use any foods you have on hand, which work great even if you're not that experienced at cooking. Also, the sauces and dressings really allow you to make boring dishes super tasty. I love their oil free options and all of the nutrition and vegan kitchen facts will help anyone succeed at a more Whole Foods, plant-based diet. I recommend this cookbook to everyone, even meat & dairy eaters--you'd be surprised how good bean balls and spaghetti and vegan fudge can actually be! No Meat Athlete podcast and blog helped me evolve from a vegetarian to a vegan and now a whole foods plant-based eater. This cookbook seals the deal, and I'll never go back to basing my diet on anything else except for whole plant foods!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not whole food plant based at all
Reviewed in the Netherlands on June 7, 2023
Verified Purchase
This book has nothing to do with "whole food plant-based recipes" like it claims on the cover. A lot of the recipes contain sugar and whole-fat coconut milk. They are highly processed foods that leave out a lot of the original plant and are definitely not healthy. Protein powder also isn't a whole food, but I agree that one is less bad. The book claims that each recipe has an oil-free version but even that isn't true; one of the recipes asks for vegan gingersnaps or vanilla cookies and you'd be hard pressed to find an oil-free storebought version of those, and they don't provide a recipe for them.

I'm also suspicious of how successful the oil-free versions of those recipes are. For example, with the mocha cheesecake recipe, the oil-free version calls for pure bananas for the crust instead of chocolate sandwich cookies, and the picture obviously shows the version with the cookies. It definitely doesn't inspire confidence that the 100% banana crust is nearly as good, and the fact that the oily version is the default makes you doubt that the author is particularly good at making tasty oil-free recipes. An actual WFPB cookbook would've likely provided a crust recipe with dates and nuts, for example.

I switched from a junk food vegan diet to a 99%+ whole food plant based diet and this book is mostly filled with the same foods that used to give me health complications and arthritis.

I am returning the cookbook.

Bought this to decrease my meat consumption and it's wonderful. The recepies get my stomache really content and feeling is light. So a good start for no-meat alternatives.
