  This book is a treasure-trove of information. While many of the ingredients were new to me, virtually all of them could be sourced from the bulk bins at my local Co-op. A perfect addition to anyone's library who is trying to eat more consciously.

  Banana Seed Bread, p. 54 I made this substituting 1 1/2 c. quinoa flour and sprinkling in 1/8 c. Vegan chocolate chips.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Lemon-coconut breakfast bars

  • WFPLCleanEating on February 11, 2016

    Not crazy about these....a rather strange flavor. (Rachel S-K)

• Protein quinoa bowl

  • foodgloriousfood on March 29, 2022

    Did not enjoy this at all. Very heavy going with the hemp protein and the maca.

• Chipotle chili with avocado sour cream

  • foodgloriousfood on April 03, 2022

    The only complaint I had with this is that the wakame flakes made it fishy tasting which isnt what I want from a chipotle chili. This would be good without it. I also grilled and peeled the anaheims before adding and doubled the chipotle powder.

• Black bean-hemp protein patties

  • foodgloriousfood on September 07, 2021

    I made these as a rather laborious lunch for myself. The flavor was really good (although next time I would add more chipotle chili powder) but they fell completely apart after cooking. The recipe states to add more water if they seem too dry - I tried one batch as is and the second batch using a little of the sundried tomato soaking water that I had set aside. Nonetheless, both batches crumbled which wasn’t an issue in my pita bread sandwich but if you need them to stay whole for a burger they will need tweaking. Still delicious though! I would make these again but will play with them to see if I can improve the texture. As an aside I would hate to cost these out as they took a full cup of hemp hearts! I also don’t want to know what the fat percentage is with all that hemp (lots of Omega 3s though) but then there is also the fat from the frying! But yum! I also made the Maqui ketchup from this book to serve, also very good!

• Maqui ketchup

  • foodgloriousfood on September 07, 2021

    This is really good! It only makes a small amount and calls for a single serve blender attachment. I would suggest making a double or triple batch and freeze some. It really is a great ketchup replacement. Well, it doesn’t taste exactly like ketchup but is as good if not better! It could be used wherever ketchup is called for. It’s sweet, tangy, tart, rich - basically it is all of the things! Plus Maqui lowers blood sugar and is a great source of antioxidants plus is said to help with dry eyes. I am loving this series of books!

• Cheesy kale crisps

  • WFPLCleanEating on February 11, 2016

    I wish recipes would give weights for ingredients rather than listings like "a big bunch of kale". Big is such a vague term and I buy my kale in 1 pound triple-washed bags. The recipe was quick and easy and the results good. Though be prepared that what seems like a huge bowl of kale when you start is a small bowl of crisps at the end. - Jane

• Acai berry truffles

  • DKennedy on April 06, 2016

    Fantastic!

• No-bake brownies

  • WFPLCleanEating on February 11, 2016

    These are not brownies and to call them that should be against some product descriptions act. On the plus side they don't take long to make and they are a sweet treat without containing refined sugars (though there are a lot of dates). The negatives are that they are just OK and are very thin - about half as thick as the photos on her website. - Jane
