While noting that a one-size-fits-all diet is not for everyone, blogger Hansen (kimjuliehansen.com) writes the book she wanted to have while embarking on a plant-based diet; specifically, a resource for those looking to switch things up without committing to anything. With a focus on common fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, and seeds, Hansen's four-week guide includes a weekly shopping list and daily meal plans. To save money and time, she emphasizes meal prep at the beginning of the week along with using frozen fruits and vegetables as needed. Creative veggie mixes double as bases for the week's lunches and dinners; examples include chickpea tacos and kidney bean quinoa bowl. Additional recipes for infused water, fresh juices, smoothies, and nut butters offer clever yet satisfying variations of the basics.
VERDICT An effective starting point for those interested in learning more about veganism and exploring customizable vegetable- and fruit-based meals.
