Must have for vegan athletes.
As a weightlifter, I’m constantly looking for exciting vegan foods that are balanced, yet high in protein. The recipes in this cookbook tick all those boxes and more. You’ll never get board!

I’ve tried most of these recipes and have found I can maintain a high protein intake without meat and cheese. Love the tasty recipes!

Loaded With Carbs
This was my fault as I should’ve known a cookbook for athletes would be carb heavy. Loaded with recipes tho, so if you’re training for an event i high recommend this book.

Great Recipes
There are a lot of really great recipes in this book. I’m not an athlete but had bariatric surgery and then got tick induced alpha-gal, as well as having gout with any type of animal flesh being a trigger. The high protein and lower carb recipes work great for me. I highly recommend this book.

Lifelong vegetarian with a family of athletes who love meat!
Being an athlete as well as a vegetarian for nearly 30 years I was both honored and delighted to receive and advance copy from the publisher and evaluate this book!I was impressed by many items in this book, but I will share just a few.I liked that the authors assumed I knew a little bit about fueling performance as an athlete. It met me “where I am” and they did not try to overeducate me! Having said that, I WAS delighted in the knowledge I gleaned regarding plant-based proteins! Thank you! This helped my comfort level to try pea protein! As a “supplement” person who has always utilize a variety of protein powers, I was glad to learn more about pea protein, it’s make-up, benefits, and ease of use. As well as nutritional yeast. Sometimes more protein is needed based on the activity!I am always looking for a new and creative vegetarian recipe. But being married to a hunter and having three teenage male athletes, who are picky when it comes to food and need it to tase good, can be tough combination! This book helped satisfy our diverse nutritional and “kid approved” needs.At first glance I was a little intimidated because I am a somewhat simple cook. As a working mom with three kids and a spouse who also works full time, finding time to cook can be tough. But after I realized most of these recipes have 12 ingredients or less, I was delighted at how approachable they are. Simple yet scrumptious!We are a family on the “go” so recipes that can be made easily, stored for a few days AND portable are always a win. The peanut butter and banana breakfast cookies, the easy peanut butter protein bars are a hit with my family (clearly, we do not have peanut allergies) and I really like the iced coffee protein shake for an extra kick post workout.I am a sucker for a good veggie chili! I have several staple chili recipes as a lifelong vegetarian, but I cannot wait to try the butternut squash, lentil, and white bean recipe. It combines many of my favorite ingredients!And who knew? Black beans and chocolate!? And raspberries too… in the raspberry-black bean chocolate mousse recipe. Protein in dessert? I’m sold!Thank you, Jenna and Ivy for the excellent education, amazing recipes to fuel my family’s performance and the courage to try some new food items!

Horrible math on the macros makes the book untrustworthy
The math in this book is horrible and it makes me not trust any of the information in the book which is important for me since I’m transitioning to a vegan diet and I’m interested in High Protein diets. For example there’s a recipe that has 27g of protein, 18g of fat, and 85g of fiber ( so they say) but the percentages are listed as 18% protein, 26% fat, and 56% carbs. How is that possible if the protein count is higher than the fat count. And the carbs are actually 68% of this meal. So either the macros are off or the percentages are off. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone unless you’re completely unconcerned with the macros and just want recipes.

Easy to Follow Recipes, With Amazing Flavor!
Coming from a meat eater who has not prepared many vegan dishes, this was surprisingly easy to follow. To begin, the basic education given about protein, macronutrients and micronutrients is essential and simple to understand. Breaking down what essential nutrients your body needs for performance and how much of it is very helpful. This book also sets you up for success by giving you what basic equipment you need for the kitchen and how to prepare your pantry. It accounts for how much time you want to put into your basic pantry items. You can make the staples yourself or purchase store bought items. It never occurred to me to make protein powder out of peas.My breakfast of Peanut Butter Overnight Oats was delicious and filling. Maybe one of my favorites. The recipe has you prepare for 3 servings so I had breakfast prepped for the next couple of days. This is a big time saver in the morning. The Black Bean and Quinoa Meatballs with Marinara Sauce was a winner too. Full of flavor and very filling.Vegan dishes can be overwhelming if you are not in the know about the basic ingredients, however The High-Protein Vegan Cookbook for athletes helped me prepare the staples, gave me grocery store options and gave me enough food to prep for the next couple of days. I highly recommend this book for anyone who would like to broaden their horizons in plant based eating not just athletes. I was provided an advance copy by the publisher.

Great recipes for some purposes
All of the recipes I have tried from this cookbook are fantastic as far as taste goes, and they are high protein compared to many other “high protein” vegan recipes you’ll find out there. If you’re looking for a way to boost your protein intake without worrying about other macronutrients, this is an excellent resource; however, if you’re trying to manage macros for muscle gain, this might not be the best option. Most of the recipes have a high fat content (the gnocchi recipe, for example, has 77 g of fat per serving!), which makes them hard unrealistic options for an eating regime that requires you to limit fat (or carbohydrate) intake. That being said, I have gotten a lot of great ideas from this cookbook, and have been able to adapt a lot of the recipes to fit my diet.
