Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Strawberry 'n' protein chia pudding

    • patioweather on December 09, 2024

      Tastes like wet protein powder. :(

  • Tempeh sausage sage gravy

    • patioweather on August 10, 2024

      Very good. My omnivore partner made "mmmm!" sounds as he ate it.

  • Maple breakfast sausages

    • patioweather on August 18, 2024

      These were good but at the end of the day they still taste like seitan.

  • Early bird scrambled tofu

    • patioweather on November 19, 2023

      Do I want chickpeas? Do I want tofu? How about both. This makes a lot, and it improves (supposedly) by sitting before cooking, so it is good for a mostly make ahead breakfast.

  • Pinto BBQ seitan burgers

    • patioweather on March 19, 2025

      This would have been delicious, but it didn’t really work out. Even after adding much more VWG, it was quite soft. They couldn’t cook all the way through either. They looked gorgeous and tasted good but were mush inside.

  • Green goddess burger & roasted potatoes bowl

    • patioweather on October 17, 2024

      I shaped these into balls because I thought it would help the structural integrity, but that made it harder to roll in the crispies. I baked half in the air fryer and froze the other half (despite what the instructions say with regards to freezing.) The ball shape also prevented any comparisons to a hamburger.

  • Cashew hemp goddess dressing

    • louie734 on June 10, 2020

      GOOD. Half recipe makes a perfect little mason jar. Sunflower seeds for cashews, omitted chives so added 1 t dried minced onion to soak with seeds. Seemed like it would need something but DIDN'T. Nice n thick after refrigerating - perfect for a dip or sandwich spread - but thins easily with a squeeze of citrus or dab of water.

    • patioweather on February 06, 2024

      Delicious and heart healthy.

  • Dill pickle Thousand Island cashew dressing

    • patioweather on March 19, 2025

      I had to add a lot more ketchup to make it appropriately pink.

  • Tomato gravy & biscuit kale bowl

    • pixie_brsj1p on April 14, 2026

      Delicious gravy, we made it spicier and had it with sesame bread. The kale & tomato salad is lovely and is also nice with a herby rice.

  • Pro mac with roasted broc

    • patioweather on October 15, 2024

      Solid vegan mac and cheese recipe.

  • Black bean hemp brownies

    • Goodwolf on July 18, 2020

      These are the most chocolatey brownies I’ve had. Wonderful flavor. There’s a grittiness to them that isn’t great but it’s a small issue.

Publishers Text


I wanted protein recipes other than mashing a vanilla-flavored powder with almond butter and flax seeds and calling it a day. I wanted something that really made me feel as if I was cooking. And yes, even good old-fashioned baking! Adding pure, unflavored, but wholesome plant-based protein powders to recipes brings out my inner foodie alchemist. I heard the call of the protein ninja.

Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or eat-everything-you-can-get-your-hands-on, a weeknight home chef, everyday athlete, or just a busy person looking for wholesome, protein-rich snacks and meals, you deserve something better than another chia seed ball or protein shake for dinner. Award-winning vegan chef Terry Hope Romero leads the charge with 100 lean, mean recipes using a wide range of readily available ingredients from supermarket-friendly staples to cutting-edge superfoods and an arsenal of gluten- and soy-free options. With an everything-you-need-to-know rundown on plant-based protein sources, and chapters like Stealthy Protein Pancakes, Waffles, Scrambles, & Much Much More, Super Toast: Savory or Sweet, and Better than Ever Burger Bowls, you’ll soon be sneaking plant-based protein into your breakfasts, dinners, and everything in between.
