Cannot wait to get started on these easy, unique recipes. I love that many of them you can make ahead. While there are some meat substitutions, mostly the recipes rely on minimally processed and whole foods. I love creative vegetarian food that's not too far out there but also offers something new and this cookbook hits the spot.

As someone who has been vegetarian for over 8 years it can be hard to find new recipes. Vegan Yack Attack on the Go! has countless new recipes that are fantastic. A must add to any cookbook shelf!

One of the most interested vegan cookbooks i have seen so far.

Lots of new recipe ideas, great mixture of different flavours and textures as wells wonderful ideas on how to prep, transport and keep the meals fresh!

This book really keeps all the promises it gives in the title!

And on top of that the recipes are very easy to follow along and turn out great so far (i have not tried every single one of them of course, but those i did try turned out great!)

If you are in search of a different vegan cookbook that gives you some new ideas and inspirations?

Highly recommend this one!

A vegan recipe book where I can get most of the ingredients at the supermarket? Really? Really!

I like this book so much, so many wonderful recipes I want to try out. It's probably the first cook book I've wanted to flag nearly every page of.

Wonderful book -- love the recipes and it is great to have vegan recipes that work perfect to take with us. It is difficult to find yummy recipes such as these, They work for when we want to travel or take with us for a picnic or for work or school.

Some of the things I LOVE about this book: There are bulk cooking recipes, 30 minute recipes and lunch box recipes!  As a busy mom who tries to eat healthy, I appreciate being able to make food ahead of time or quickly.  

My daughters and I tried the Recovery Smoothie which is like a decadent chocolate milkshake and soooo good and creamy and delicious!  I also made the Lentil Balls with Zesty Rice and my husband said to put it in the rotation!  My daughter is dying to make the Pumpkin Maple Donut Holes but she's decided that sounds very fall-ish so she is forcing herself to wait until fall.

The Cauliflower Curry Grill Packets, Campfire French Toast and Campfire Banana Splits seem like they could be fun for camping.  We are going to a vegan potluck soon and I am planning to make the Peanut Butter S'Mores Dip.

I love the author's take on ethnic dishes like Kluski - like the author's father, my father is Polish, too, and I was excited to have a vegan option for this!  I was also excited to have vegan recipes for hearty fall and winter meals like pot pies.  I find it's easy to be vegan in warm weather when fresh fruit and vegetables are plentiful for salads and it's a little more of a struggle when fall hits and there are not a lot of stick-to-your-ribs hearty meal options...but innovative folks like Jackie Sobon are creating delicious, hearty vegan recipes and for that, they are my heroes!

This cookbook is really helpful for people like me who are always on the go. The recipes are simple for the most part and all of the ingredients used are pretty common. What I loved most is that every recipe is so unique - which is refreshing for someone who reads as many vegan cookbooks as I do. I'm excited to give some of these a try!

A great beginner vegan cookbook for those interested. Obviously, can also be great for a long time vegan as well. Has great information on staples to have in your pantry, equipment and basics. Lots of quick and easy recipes that do not have many ingredients.

The first chapter of this book presents you with the usual things you find in a cookbook intro. It describes what tools you’ll need. It also describes the vegan diet in general. And finally it explains what it means when it uses terms like gluten-free, soy free, portable, sugar free, make ahead, etc. I find their extended list of labels extra useful as it seems most books just tag recipes as vegetarian, vegan, or what allergens it’s free off. The extra categories help you find something that’s fast to make or that can be transported well.

The second chapter is Quick breakfast, snacks, and treats. In this chapter you will find things like breakfast cookies, a chickpea scramble, smoothies, toast, bars, etc. most of the recipes in this chapter are very simple, requiring little to no cooking (and who wants to spend their morning cooking?). Only one recipe in this chapter felt like a little too much work for breakfast and that would be the Beastly cauliflower breakfast burrito — it has you cooking up potatoes, a cauliflower scramble, and sausage, then assembling it all into a butrito.

The third chapter is prep Dash ahead recipes. Here you will find recipes such as a trail mix, putting, hummus, crackers, etc. there are a few recipes in this chapter that I feel would work well in the air fryer such is the barbecue kettle chips and acorn squash chips.


Chapter 4 is lunchbox stuffers. In this chapter you will fly into recipes such as a chipotle white bean salad sandwich, grill and chill salad, bagel hummus veggie sandwich, grown-up PB&J, and a veggie sushi bento. Probably the easiest recipe in this book can be found in this chapter: the grown-up version of PB&J. Instead of peanut butter you’re using almond butter and adding some seasonings and a banana but otherwise it is essentially a PB&J sandwich and requires no effort.

Chapter 5 is meals in 30 minutes or less. In this chapter we find recipes like tacos, stew, burgers, squash, veggie bowl, noodles, etc. The Recipes in this chapter are more complex than prior chapters, however, they are also more well-suited for dinners, so you’d expect them to require more effort.


Chapter 6 is bulk cooking. Recipes include things like a pot pie, grits, stuffed shells, a casserole, a roast, etc. If like me you’re not much of a cook and prefer your slow cooker or steamer there is a recipe in this chapter that is specifically made for the slow cooker ( the seitan roast). But I also feel that many of the things like the soup could be easily converted to a slow cooker meal.


Chapter 7 is food on the move. But it should be noted that it is also subtitled “some assembly required”. In this chapter you will find recipes such as shake and bake bacon Brussels, mushroom bake packets, chocolate chunk oats on the go, asparagus omelette in a bag, peanut butter Smore’s dip, etc. The easiest recipe in this chapter would be the grilled fruit skewers which is exactly what it sounds like - cut fruits pieces on a skewer, grilled for a few minutes. Some of the recipes in this chapter are designed to be made over a campfire (or on a grill) such as the campfire banana splits and the pastry wrapped carrot dogs.

Chapter 8 is entitled to make your own Staples. In this chapter you will find recipes such as the taco meat, a cashew cream, jam, garlic mayo, coconut bacon, a butternut cheese sauce, etc. Probably the easiest recipe in this chapter is the simple cashew cream. This recipe has only three ingredients one of which is water. The seitan recipe can be made as sausages or as a round in the pressure cooker.

Overall if someone asked me to recommend a vegan cookbook to them this would definitely make the list. There are a lot of easy recipes, which is very important for people like me who don’t really like to cook but who want to eat healthier. There are a lot of recipes that you can take with you on the go so if you are struggling to find vegan meals while out, you’ll be able to bring your own foods. The staples, while the last chapter, are probably the best place to start because I find those to be the toughest things to adjust to as you eliminate the “real” products from your diet.

I found the recipes in this book to be interesting; there were many flavor combos that I would honestly never think to try, but it got me out of my comfort zone with meat-free cooking. (I'm vegetarian, not vegan). There weren't a ton of ingredients for each recipe, which is great, and the ingredients weren't hard to find, which seems to happen too much in vegan cooking.

I made the BBQ Tempeh Wrap, Smoky Parmesan Popcorn, and Chia Seed Pudding. I'm looking forward to making more recipes from this book.

Vegan Yack Attack on the Go! is a terrific guide for eating healthfully on a busy schedule. Created by Jackie Sobon of Vegan Yack Attack blog fame, it’s filled with beautifully photographed recipes that taste great, are good for you, easy to make, and easy to take. As we speak I’m planning to make the No-Bake Apricot Almond Bars for breakfast, a Bagel Hummus Veggie Sandwich for lunch, and Lentil Balls with Zesty Rice for dinner.
Yummo! 5/5

Grateful to the Quarto Publishing Group - Fair Winds Press and NetGalley for the early copy, in exchange for my true review.

*I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*

Vegan Yack Attack on the Go! is an exciting new vegan cookbook with creative recipe ideas. Sobon created this book to give readers “a wide variety of meals that are fun, tasty, and quick to pull together”. Included are sections on pantry basics and appliances, which are pretty run of the mill, preceding the recipes. The recipes are split into seven chapters:

- Quick breakfasts, snacks, and treats: As with most cookbooks I find that the breakfast inclusions just take more time than I’m willing to take each morning to prepare. But that doesn’t mean the recipes don’t look awesome and that I won’t try them at some other time.

- Prep-ahead recipes: This chapter includes thinks like granola, dip and veggie crisps (kale, squash etc.). A lot of this you will have seen before in some form but the author always manages to put her own twist on it. A great example would be the White Bean Rosemary Hummus.

- Lunch box stuffers: I wanted to make pretty much everything in this section as I’m always looking for new lunchbox recipes. While some of the recipes take quite a while to make, they are also mostly usable in bulk so that I could meal prep for the week. How often am I going to eat 4 sandwiches or bagels anyway?

- Meals in 30 minutes or less: While most of these meals are true ‘30 minutes or less meals’, there are some which expect you to have pre-prepared sauces that would clearly make the meals take much longer. For example, the butternut squash mac and cheese wants you to already have the sauce on hand and takes its prep time out of the equation by putting the sauce in the ‘basics’ section. I don’t know about you but butternut cheese sauce is not something that my family actively has around. The other recipes which I have prepared from this section have come together in 30 minutes with prep time included so the preparation of this sauce may be included, however it is not made clear in the book itself.

- Bulk cooking:This section is filled with some great recipe ideas, which despite the title only make a small number of servings. The author says that the intention is to make multiple servings at once which is fine but I think that the only reason to have these recipes in a separate section to the others is because they don’t come together super quickly, and therefore fit into the title of the book.

- Food on the move:Some of these recipes are really unique, it is rare that I look through a cookbook seeing new types of foods (at least new to me). The grill packets especially look like something I should give a shot.

- Make your own staples: While I'm personally unlikely to use this section (as I'm a lazy f*ck), I think this could be useful for some people.

I tested two recipes for this book, both from the 30 minutes or less category. Both were well written and easy to follow. In fact the whole book was well-written and beautifully formatted, with amazing photos for most of the recipes. As a plus the food actually looked like pictures.

The Summer Stew turned out great and used up some of the foods that had been sitting around the fridge for a while (like zucchini). I'd definitely make it again. The Kale Raspberry Grain Salad did not do so well, although I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I subbed agave for maple syrup and used defrosted raspberries rather than fresh since that’s what I had on hand and the whole thing ended up being a bit bitter. I probably wouldn't make this again.

Overall I'd really recommend this book for those looking to explore vegan cooking and even for longtime plant-based eaters who are looking for fresh ideas.

***4.5/5 stars***

It is no secret, I am a meal prepper. I have little time (or patience) during the work week to prepare healthy choices, so I cook on the weekends and have as much as possible ready to go, including freezing leftovers for meals later. I am a vegetarian eating many vegan meals, and it can be difficult to find healthy options when I am out and about, which further requires preparation on my part. Like everyone, I get tired of the same old foods.

Vegan Yack Attack on the Go is a life saver. It includes all kinds of easy meals that you can take with you and easily snack on. It can be hard to “snack” on lentil soup in the car; believe me, I have tried! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and even desserts are all covered, and everything is so appealing! One idea is for CHICKPEA tenders with waffles! Yep, I am all in for that one! I made the Lentil Balls with Zesty Rice and loved them. So easy to make and delicious! There are even ideas for the pressure cooker like a pesto spaghetti squash. I am always looking for vegan options for my pressure cooker. The author of this book has a blog I will be following, as I love her ideas and food combinations.

The highlight of Vegan Yack Attack on the Go is the practical ease of eating while still being filling and a complete meal, something that challenges many vegetarians and vegans.

On the whole being vegan is easy, but there are two instances where being vegan can be a bit more tricky. Firstly when you really cant be bothered spending lots of time in the kitchen and you just want something quick to eat, and secondly when your out and about; and need something vegan, but don’t want to compromise your healthy eating ideals.
That’s where this book comes in.
After a brief introduction, the book begins with a ‘vegan eating made easy’ chapter; which focuses on pantry essentials, equipment and helpful hints and tips. I thought this section would be particularly useful to someone who is new to vegan/plant based eating; and from my own experience I found the advice it gave to be on point. There is then a quick discussion on how the recipes are graded within the book ( gluten free, oil free etc).

Thereafter follows chapters on quick breakfasts, snacks and treats, prep ahead recipes, lunch box stuffers, meals in 30 mins or less, bulk cooking, food on the move and making your own staples.

All the recipes within the book look tasty, and I feel many of them will become firm favourites within my household.
I particularly liked the foil packet recipes that could be taken to barbeques. I thought they were a very clever idea.
The dry soup mix that you can keep ready in a jar was also a nice idea that would save time.
The book is beautifully presented, and the recipes are easy to follow.
I would recommend the book to others, and I think it would make a nice gift.

Loving all if the recipes and useful information that this book provides! Aust read if you are a vegan...and the even if you are not! Thanks for the opportunity!

This is a colourful and inspiring book full of recipes, well laid out, under the headings: breakfasts; food to prepare ahead; lunch box ideas; meals in thirty minutes or less; bulk cooking; food on the move and make your own staples. As a non-vegan I still found the recipes, with their accompanying photos, very tempting with lots of variety. It's worth noting that a few of the recipes require a food processor, a pressure cooker, a waffle maker or a blender and these may not be readily available to all, for example, students. Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! YES!

Sobon makes achieving a more plant-based diet much easier to do with the release of Vegan Yack Attack on the Go!

The new release is an instant success on how to prepare healthy vegan food that you can whip up in a jif and eat or save for later that day by following Sobon's handy advice with his on-the-move tips on how to pack, wrap or stack it up for easy transport. Yes. I have been waiting for a book like this to come along and it is finally here. I am not vegan, but I try to eat vegan as much as possible and encourage my family to do this same.


Favorites include: Acorn Squash Chips, Teriyaki Mushroom Jerky,Butternut Squash and Trees, Chickpea Tendies and Waffles, Beer-Can Pulled Cabbage.

As an introduction, I am mostly paleo in my dietary philosophy though not dogmatic.
Healthiness and novelty are the primary concerns for me when judging cookbooks.
In my opinion, this is an above average cookbook although not impressive enough to weigh in against my favorites.

This book covers a pretty wide gamut of recipes, though none of them are mind blowing conceptually if you've collected a shelf of cookbooks. Illustrations are both beautiful and plentiful here.

The book is healthy in a widely approachable way. By that I mean it is probably as healthy as someone who isn't a health nut will be willing to go. There is plenty of soy, sugar, flour, bread, sunflower oil and pasta. I can understand how from a vegan standpoint some of the above (namely soy and perhaps the whole grain breads/pasta's depending on your persuasion) aren't evil, but sunflower oil seems pretty sloppy. When you can just as easily use macadamia or avocado oil to avoid the unhealthy fats (omega 6) I don't why you'd choose the oil (unless you are trying to save money in the short term). The sugar, bread and pasta are contained in better than average amounts. That being said, there is usually at least one offending ingredient in each interesting recipe so it makes it a challenging cookbook for me.

All in all, this is an above average cookbook that should be good for most vegans who don't already have a ton of cookbooks and aren't as anti sugar/flour as myself.

Want to make eating good vegan food easier and faster ? Check this book out. It is packed with easy quick health ideas for keeping your diet on track in these fast paced times. There are food prep recipes to shorten meal prep times, they give you fabulous options when cooking. Okay I struggle with what to pack everyday fro lunch, yeh it gets repetitive. There are some knock out lunch ideas. I know my office groupies will be drooling with lunch envy. I love that there are quick 30 min or less meals as well as feed a crowd quick recipes. Oh let's not forget camping recipes ! The recipes for the basics are there too, bonus.
I tried many recipes but my favorites so far are the Crustless Quiche Bites and the Savory Puff Pastry Tarts, my family has asked for them three times already this month. I think the frozen soup idea is genius, I've loaded my freezer with a couple different soups.
I loved this book. I need more time away from the chore of cooking and this book gives that. I think I'll be gifting it for the holidays

A great variety of vegan recipes, complimented by great photos. Some real unique stuff in here, and yummy looking too!
