Purchase options and add-ons
Real Food Makes a Real Difference
As a bestselling author and co-founder of the widely popular website Simple Green Smoothies, Jen knows the impact food can have on your body, your health and your dreams. Before switching to a plant-powered diet, Jen Hansard felt exhausted, stressed-out and frustrated with her body. After a wake-up call from her husband, she set off on a mission to put foods in her body that would allow her to go after the things that mattered most. Embracing nutrient-dense, nourishing whole foods gave her the vitality to do more than just survive each day – she was able to live out dreams that had been long buried. From creating a backyard family farm, to flying an airplane, to running 100km in a single day, to camping and hiking the U.S. National Parks. Through her journey came her mission: to help others “fuel their passion” by embracing delicious plant-powered meals to help them look and feel their best.
Now in Simple Green Meals, she branches out to offer quick, tasty, vegetarian meals for the whole family (even meat-eating husbands). No more restricting calories or fad diet programs. Her philosophy is simple: Eat more plants... however and whenever you can. With tips on meal prep, advice when shopping and 100+ new vegetarian recipes from quinoa corn muffins to veggie enchilada stacks and cauliflower buffalo wings, you’ll gain a new appreciation for fresh, plant-powered meals and what they can do for your body and your mind.

The recipe sections include: Breakfasts, Snacks, Soups, salads, and sides, Main Dishes, Desserts, and Beverages. There is also an informative Helpful Resources section and a One Month Meal Plans. There are so many recipes I can't wait to try, the Simple Marinara Sauce, Maple Raisin Cookies, Baked Apple Crisp in a Jar, Breakfast Toast 6 ways, and the Austinite Tacos!!! They look awesome!
I loved the Seven-Layer Dip recipe and the Taco Lime Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing!!!! Delish!! I can't wait to go through the whole book and try them all! Next on my list is the Pumpkin Spice Pancakes!! Yummy!
I love Jen's passion for creating a healthy lifestyle for herself and her family, and then shared it with the rest of the world! I applaud what she has accomplished with her simplegreensmoothies website , smoothie app, and Rawkstar Community. I love that Jen is down to earth and filled with such a great passion to not only live a simple, happy, full life but done in a healthy way. I absolutely love Simple Green Meals!! I plan to give it for gifts as well. Awesome job Jen Hansard!
I can't rave enough about this book. A vegan or a vegetarian NEEDS this. I am neither of those things, but I can look at almost every single recipe and determine how I would incorporate meat.
Jen explains... don't just go out and buy everything and try to change overnight. Develop good habits! Make better decisions each day and each trip to the grocery store, make a change or two. Nothing about this book tells you to go on a diet, it just encourages more plants to be incorporated in your daily life so you'll feel better and have better overall health! Jen is a normal, healthy looking person, but she GLOWS with beauty and health. That's what I believe would happen to all that follow her ways.

The most of veggies
写真はとても色鮮やかで英語表記ですが料理が好きな人は読めばだいたいわかります。
購入してよかったです。
I’ve been vegan for 15+ years and none of the recipes appealed to me whatsoever. The book for me, was a waste of money. I’m am avid cook and wasn’t compelled to make anything from the book. I’d rather skip a meal than make anything I saw.
This being said, if you are a vegetarian or part time vegan who wants to eat SUPER CLEAN you may love this book.
I’d much rather eat recipes from the Happy Herbivore books.
