About The Book
National Bestseller
“A must-read for anyone looking to optimize well-being…Kiki’s recipes and guidance are sure to set you up for success!” —From the Foreword by Dr. Uma Naidoo, author of This Is Your Brain on Food and Calm Your Mind With Food
Reclaim your health with Kiki Nelson’s all-new super simple plant-based recipes and a 28-day meal plan that will kickstart new habits and enable you to maintain your health and weight loss.
Whether you want to prevent diabetes and stroke, sleep better, heal PCOS, resolve any number of health concerns associated with weight, are trying to shed those last ten pounds, or you are simply in a maintenance stage, Plantifully Simple is for you.
Kiki Nelson, who lost seventy pounds on a plant-based diet and eliminated her risk for diabetes and stroke, shares the recipes, meal plans, plate-building, and mindset she adopted to reclaim her health—and keep off the weight. Here, she offers 100 all-new recipes that are as delicious as they are satisfying: they depend on luscious fruits and vegetables as well as comforting and satisfying carbs so you will never be bored or hungry—or feel restricted. Kiki knows that to lose weight you need a plan, and here she offers two foolproof plans. Both can deliver results, and offer freedom and peace of mind when it comes to making food choices.
Mindfully Plant-Based: An effective and liberating plan for eating low-fat plant-based foods using Kiki’s “balanced plate” method that balances starchy vegetables with fiber-rich non-starch vegetables.
Precisely Plant-Based: A targeted plan for eating low-fat plant-based foods while tracking your daily calories so you have concrete data for tailoring what you eat to your body’s unique needs.
Plantifully Simple is a unique resource that is at once practical and inspiring and includes the following recipes:
Breakfast and Brunch: Raspberry Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes, Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal, Garden Vegetable Chickpea Omelet, Breakfast Tacos
Lunch and Dinner: Sesame Ginger Cold Noodle Bowl, Butternut Squash and Kale Salad with Cranberries and Pecans, Sweet Potato Black Bean Curry, Apple Pimento Grilled Cheese with Caramelized Onions and Arugula, Hawaiian Street Cart Tacos, Spring Alfredo Pasta
Sauces, Dressings, and Dips That Make Mealtime a Snap: Creamy Sriracha Dressing, Corn and Cucumber Salsa, Pimento Cheese Sauce
Desserts: Heavenly Banana Brownies, Maple Pecan Pudding, Apple Caramel Crisp
