Plant Power Bowls ― 70 Seasonal Vegan Recipes to Boost Energy and Promote Wellness

65 nourishing plant-based bowls to energize and fuel your body naturally, from popular Instagrammer and blogger, Real + Vibrant's Sapana Chandra.

In this cookbook Sapana offers nutritionally-sound and simple (but so satisfying!) plant-based power bowls to boost your energy and fuel your body. Recipes are arranged seasonally so you can make the most of your area's local bounty and eat fresh food throughout the year. Not strictly for vegans, these recipes will appeal to all who want to include more plant-based meals in their diets. As a certified health coach, Sapana ensures that each bowl contains a balance of healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, and proteins. Plus the yum factor! The recipes in this book honor Sapana's common-sense philosophy for good health: "eat real (food)" and "live well," and you will "feel vibrant."

Spring bowls include recipes such as White Bean & Rosemary Crispy Potatoes Bowl with a Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce, and Roasted Beet & Citrus Bowl with a Pistachio Citrus Sauce. Summer calls for a Sumac Falafel Bowl with a Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Sauce, and a Blueberry Mango Chia Breakfast Bowl. In fall, you'll find satisfying recipes like Roasted Curried Cauliflower Bowl with a Creamy Turmeric Dressing, and Kale & Persimmon Buckwheat Bowl with a Creamy Cashew Sauce. And in winter when we want to get cozy, there is a Warming Chickpea Coconut Curry Bowl and Mediterranean Buddha Bowl with a Creamy Kalamata Sauce. But let's treat ourselves too! Sapana includes a chapter on ice cream bowls where you can indulge in Blackberry Lavender, Pineapple Black Pepper, or Chocolate Tahini Fudge.
