I love using @eatevergreen waffles because the combo of protein + fiber helps keep me full. plus they’re made with 100% whole grains and hidden veggies, so they’re my favorite for giving to Daisy, too!

Inside, you’ll find my go-to groceries (my ride-or-die Greek yogurt, protein powders I actually like), most-used kitchen tools (what I use to whip cottage cheese, make crispy tofu, and fry eggs with ease) and a list of all the vegetarian protein sources I rely on 💪

Then come the 100+ recipes, with macros and fiber listed for every one. I also pulled recipes together to show you a sample “day in my life” of how I hit 120 grams of protein + 30 grams of fiber.

I wrote the book I couldn’t find. 

I started thinking seriously about protein in 2018, when I shifted from running to lifting weights as my primary form of exercise. I knew that if I wanted to build muscle, I had to step up my protein intake. But I couldn’t find a source for easy, great-tasting, protein-packed vegetarian recipes I was actually excited to make. So it became my mission to create one. 

Protein-Packed Vegetarian is filled with 100+ feel-good, vegetable-forward recipes designed to energize you, keep you full, and make hitting your protein (and fiber!) goals waaay more enjoyable. It’s packed with smart, practical tips to boost protein in ways that aren’t repetitive or boring — things I’ve learned over years of eating this way and now can’t wait to share with you. 

But close your eyes and ignore the title, and you’ll find that at the end of the day, these are simply creative, nutritious, delicious recipes EVERYONE, even the meat eaters in the family, will love (just ask my husband Pat). 

I’m so excited for the book to be in your hands on August 25th! Preorders make a huge difference, especially for first-time authors like me. It helps open doors like in-store placement and book tour opportunities. And the sooner the better, because giveaways and exclusive recipes are just around the corner. So hold onto your receipt! 
 
A huge thank you to everyone who made this book a reality: @susanroxborough @sefsmith @juliediehlbishop @claregraydietition @lindapugliese @monipierini @paigehicks @alyssaalwayshungry @paulivelez @clarksonpotter @twowestent 

And of course, to all of you. I can’t wait to cook from it together 🙌
