National Bestseller | Food Network: One of 10 Best New Vegan Cookbooks
“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
“For author Kiki Nelson, meals are not just mere sustenance, but an opportunity to change the way you feel. And for her, that means following a plant-based diet, one which has helped her improve her mood, gain energy and lose weight. It also means finding dishes that offer nutrition, satiety and flavor made with wholesome ingredients, which isn’t as elusive a notion as you might think.” —Food Network
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.
