Thrive foods: 200 vegetable recipes

thrive-foods.jpgA few The thrive diet reviewed months ago Nicole by triathlete, Brendan Brazier.

In a few weeks, will Brendan companion release to his vegan diet titled thrive foods.

If you want to eat more plant based meals can have than the 200 recipes provided by this new recipe book you get off to a good start.

The book begins with a Hugh Jackman forward from, who got his Brazier of diets for the last few years, as well as to rely on to prepare for his film roles.

Thrive foods focuses heavily on the environmental impact of our food choices. Brazier developed what he calls the "nutrient resource ratio". This takes into account the amount of resources it takes to the food, in comparison with the amount of nutrients that may be obtained from the source of to produce food.

Brandon Brazier says that if a person just a plant based breakfast every day for one year would eat, it would reduce CO2 emissions by the amount that would be produced from a person of a medium-sized car drive to Tijuana, Mexico basis, BC.

All 200 recipes this account by 100% plant based, that are high in nutrients density, and the formation of alkaline. He along with some award winning chefs make what he thinks are delicious recipes that align with the thrive diet principles.

Brendan Brazier of recipes use ingredients such as legumes, maca, chia, amaranth, buckwheat, quinoa, hemp, wild rice and chlorella, while eliminating ingredients such as wheat, yeast, gluten, soy, dairy and grain.

The information provided recipes include suggestions for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as recipes for snacks, appetizers and desserts.


I think thrive food contains a lot of good information on making wiser food choices not only for the health, but also for the planet. I can see this book appealing to those who already care about their bodies and the environment, but it would be a hard sell to the many who do not seem to care about both. However, it is a great resource for those already produced on the way to eat more aware about the eating of meat, whatever their position.

Brendan also promotes its line of Vega, bars, gels and other products in the book, which to me, a tad damage its credibility. I would love to see him just focus on whole foods, such as processed foods are part of the problem, including the energy it takes to create them. This seems a bit contradictory to be "nutrient resource ratio". However, I'm not sure how much energy does it take to convert of hemp in hemp protein powder, but I would suggest that it would spend some.

Thrive foods releases on September 6 and is available for pre-order on Amazon.
