4.0
I have been a fan of @superfoodjules for several years now. Her other cookbooks are amongst some of my favorites! I love her knowledge of superfoods and the creative ways she incorporates this into her recipes.
In her latest book Smart Plants, its all about feeding your brain for better brain health and performance. This book is laid out seasonally, (I love when authors do this) and In these 65 recipes she has included lots of signature superfoods, and many of these are everyday ingredients so bonus! I always like when ingredients aren't hard to find. She has also included a lengthy well researched section at the beginning breaking down the immense power of the human brain and how it works to how and why choosing to feed it plants is best for optimal performance. With lots of info on micronutrients and vitamins/minerals. Plus a chart showing all the vegan food sources for protein, low sugar, good sources of fat and micronutrients. As well as explaining what Nootropic's are and what they do for our brains.
I haven't tried all the recipes yet but of the recipes I I did try my favorites were:
•Blueberry Chia Muffins
•Garlicky Butter Bean Soup with Kale
•Lentil Vegetable Stew
•Lentil-Beet Burgers
•Tamari Tempeh with Broccoli & Sesame
•Savory Chickpea Protein Bars
•Spinach Mushroom Tofu Scramble
•Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pecans
•
Julie Morris is a NYT Bestselling author and Natural Food Chef. I reccomend checking this book out as well as her others. Even if your not Vegan, there are so many excellent healthy superfood recipes to rotate into your diet.
