Thank you NetGalley for this advanced reader copy in exchange for a review. I found this book to be well written, informative and providing sound information regarding establishing a plant based diet. It includes a 4 week meal plan, tips for implementing as well as delicious recipes. Recommend for anyone thinking of establishing a plant based lifestyle but do not know where to begin.

The book is a best gift for people who want be vegan and people who follow veganism. I loved the recipes mentioned in the book which would be very useful if you wish to be vegan and cook a food that has right amount of protein, vitamin, minerals required for a day whether you are a normal or athlete or gym person.

The author gives recipes to prepare vegan milk and butter and explains about protein, fat and how you can have high protein using plant based diet.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. A most informative read, well written and easy to follow. Now its time to put it all into practice. Recommended.

This was an interesting book. I thought the information presented was well laid out and flowed well. I really enjoyed reading it and want to try and start implementing some of what I read.

So many of my library patrons are looking to take care of their health and I am happy to recommend this cookbook to them. The recipes are simple and the ingredients are accessible: two necessities for successful cooking.

I know that my patrons, regardless of age, can enjoy this title and will probably end up purchasing it on their own.

If you are looking for a blueprint to becoming a vegetarian then this book is the one. It has sample meal plans, shopping list and much more. The photos are beautiful. I would like to try this one day. I just have a complex about certain veggies

If someone is interested in beginning a plant based diet routine, this cookbook would be an excellent starting point for them. This well organized book is intended to help get someone started with a high-protein plant-based diet who may not be familiar with what options and varieties of meals are available with such a diet. Included in this cookbooks are shopping lists, plant-based high protein meal prep suggestions, and even a 4-week sample meal plan with additional information about each recipe. Would have been nice to see some photos of the recipes, but you really can't go wrong with this book if starting out on this type of a diet journey!

Awesome book with awesome recipes! I loved that there was not a lot of “processed substitutes” trying to simulate meat. There was a wide range of recipes that cater to all different tastes and several that are kid-friendly. Also, plant-based or vegetarian always lean towards high carb/lots of grains and bread. This was a wholesome, nutritious update that can help you meet your protein requirements as well.

Completely chock-a-block filled with helpful information. Regardless of if you're trying out a whole food, plant based diet for the first time, or a seasoned vet, I highly recommend Maya A. Howard's High-Protein Plant-Based Diet for Beginners.

Ms. Howard has included so much helpful information in the introduction, there's an amazing index, and absolutely stunning photos. This author's writing is clear and enjoyable to read.

I can't wait to try some of these recipes. How does 'Sweet Potato Coconut Stew' spound? And I'll be you'd enjoy 'Spicy Chickpea Croutons' on any soup or salad, or even just for munching. Delicious!

If you're looking for a book to ease into a vegetarian diet I would definitely recommend this one. I wish this book had been a round when my sister and I had decided to become vegetarian.

Such good and interesting ideas to make in a everyday meal. Made for my family and make for company too. All were enjoyed and not much leftovered. That's how you know it was good!

It really seems so simple to go plant based after seeing this book! I loved the easy to make recipes and for only one person, great for me. The Chickpea Tortilla Soup was fabulous - can't wait to try more recipes from this gem.

This is a highly informative cookbook with meal plans. It also goes into details about kitchen gadgets to make sure you are set up for success.

This cookbook has some great basics and how-to's for people who are new to a plant-based diet. It explains the benefits and method for getting started on a hig-protein plant-based meal plan. The recipes are simple, have wholesome ingredients and sound delicious. I would highly recommend this for meal ideas at the very least even if not sticking to the whole diet plan.

This book is a great tool for beginners who need some guidance on going plant-based with high protein. I love the organization. It gives you a 4 week plan, a shopping list, prepping for each week, and information about each recipe. It's easy, informative, and even fun. It didn't have photos for each recipe, but it was organized very well and the lack of photos didn't take away from a great book. I highly recommend.

I’m vegetarian and am trying to move towards vegan so I was very interested in this book, especially the meal plans. Unfortunately this book was not for me. The recipes seemed too hippy dippy for me and the layout of the book didn’t help keep my interest.

Thanks for the chance to check out this cookbook.

My family has been eating plant based for quite a few years. The one thing I really liked about this cookbook is that it was a whole food plant based cookbook. That means there were no fake processed meats. I was really glad for that as these are not a part of our family diet and I often find them in vegan cookbooks.

I liked the variety of recipes in this one too.

I wish I had gotten a physical copy of this book. Unfortunately the ebook just wasn’t easy to use and I love full colour photos of the recipes, which I couldn’t get on a kindle.

Overall, I think this is a great cookbook and would recommend it to someone looking for a plant based cookbook.

Thanks to Netgalley for a chance to review this cookbook.

I think this cookbook can be a great resource for those just starting off with plant based eating. However, I've primarily kept a mostly plant based diet for years now and suffer from falling into cooking ruts. I like to pick new vegetarian or vegan or plant base diet cook books for inspiration. I think this book offers a decent variety of recipes. There a few staples recipes from the book that I am excited to incorporate in my cooking. I felt the author does a good job at explaining the benefits of a plant based diet and touches on avoiding overly processed vegan foods. The fresher the better! Quite a few recipes use coconut oil, which unfortunately hate the taste of. A few options for substitutions would be helpful. Also, I think the biggest downfall of this book is there is not many images of the recipes. Seeing a recipe is what motivates me to try it for myself! I also feel that it would be better organization of the book to have the stable recipes used in other recipes in the beginning, then the meal plans, and the remaining recipes. That just makes the most sense to me. Thank you to Net Galley, the author, and the publisher for the copy of this book.

As an introduction to plant based eating, this is fine. It has a nice meal plan for four weeks with everything you need to follow the plan, including shopping lists. In a lot of cases, it recreates staples of the Standard American Diet (SAD), just with plants. For me, I was looking for healthier options without all the sugars and oils. So I would say this is great for those who are otherwise healthy but for moral reasons choose a more vegan lifestyle. But if you have any metabolic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, etc., this probably won't be a good option. Of note, buy the physical book - the online version was very problematic in the formatting.

The book breaks down as follows: Beginner's guide, 4 week meal plan. Then the recipes: breakfast, smoothies & drinks, soups & stews, main meals, snacks & desserts, sauces/spreads/dressings. At the back are cooking conversions, resources, and indices.

There are a few photographs scattered throughout. Each recipe, has a title, prep time, serving size, ingredients, numbered steps, and nutrition information (calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, fiber, sugars, protein). There are tips on the bottom of each recipe (e.g., leftovers suggestions and substitutions).

I imagine this book was written with a focus on protein since that is oddly the concern of many these days (ever known anyone to actually have a protein deficiency?). So I don't really feel the focus is necessary. Instead, this is just a decent book on transitioning to a plant based diet from e.g., a SAD diet. I can't say this would be ideal for weight loss but certainly it is a better way to eat than e.g., fast food and processed food.

The formatting on my computer was kind of all over the place and certainly the layout isn't sexy. It's straightforward though and the recipes are easy to follow (though there is a wide range of ingredients you'll need to track down). The author makes a case for plant based shopping being cheaper than when you buy meats or "premade vegan food" (note she carefully avoids mentioning how cheap the processed food is). But I think the real problem with plant based for many is that the food spoils so fast and money gets wasted. At least with the meal plans here, you don't have to worry about that since you'll know exactly what to buy each week for the recipes.

In all, I couldn't use most of the recipes here - they just weren't healthy enough and that was kind of a disappointment. But if you don't have health issues and want to transition to plant-based eating, this is a place to start. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.

This is a great recipe book and does exactly what it says in the title. Each recipe explains where the protein is coming from in the recipe. The recipes are really easy to follow and there are lots of them that I want to try cooking. I like the fact that the ingredients are natural. There is no fake chicken in here, just wholesome beans, pulses and vegetables. It's real, good food, and easy to follow recipes.
