Description

Focusing on an environmentally friendly diet, Brendan Brazier’s new book builds on the stress-reducing, health-boosting nutritional philosophy introduced in Thrive. Finding creative ways to use basic ingredients such as kale, blueberries, and wild rice, Thrive Foods recipes are plant-based and nutritionally complete. They utilize the power of superfoods such asmaca, chia, hemp, and chlorella and avoid ingredients like wheat, yeast, gluten, soy, dairy, and corn.

If you’re looking for sustainable energy, high-quality sleep, physical strength, and mental sharpness to meet modern-day demands, Thrive Foods is your go-to recipe source.

San Francisco Book Review, 12/21/11
“The two hundred recipes avoid common food allergens and animal products, and include a sports drink, smoothies, and dishes for every meal of the day, from a fresh cereal breakfast to a vegan beet ravioli dinner. Snacks and desserts find their place, too, with maca ice creams and cool granitas. Anybody with an interest in maintaining and keeping their body in fit, working condition would benefit from a leafy lunch of Thrive Foods.”
