How many times have you heard a parent tell their kids to eat their
veggies? Kids aren't the only problem though: in the United States, only
1 in 10 adults meet the daily recommended vegetable intake while in
Canada it's just 3 in 10 adults. In fact, bestselling author and
award-winning dietitian Toby Amidor has been telling her clients to "up
their veggies" for years!
Whether you're a vegetarian, flexitarian or just looking to eat more
plants, Toby wants to help you overcome common barriers like taste, cost
and time, in order to eat more vegetables. They can help provide your
body with the nutrition it needs to thrive and help lower the risk of
chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
In this cookbook you will find 100 delicious plant-forward recipes that
you can personalize to your liking. Looking to serve yourself chicken
but add a plant-based protein for a family member? Toby provides simple
swaps to make sure everyone at the table is happy. She also keeps
cooking time, budget and accessibility in mind. Recipes range from
appetizers to bowls and include Roasted Carrot and Chickpea Dip, Speedy
Vegetable Soup, Kale and Sweet Potato Salad with Shredded Chicken and
Poached Egg Superfood Bowl.
Up Your Veggies is truly a celebration of vegetables -- their
delicious flavors, gorgeous colors, and important contributions to
overall health.
