The debut cookbook from the powerhouse blogger behind theblendergirl.com, featuring 100 gluten-free, vegan recipes for smoothies, meals, and more made quickly and easily in a blender. What’s your perfect blend? On her wildly popular recipe blog, Tess Masters—aka, The Blender Girl—shares easy plant-based recipes that anyone can whip up fast in a blender. Tess’s lively, down-to-earth approach has attracted legions of fans looking for quick and fun ways to prepare healthy food. In The Blender Girl, Tess’s much-anticipated debut cookbook, she offers 100 whole-food recipes that are gluten-free and vegan, and rely on natural flavors and sweeteners. Many are also raw and nut-, soy-, corn-, and sugar-free. Smoothies, soups, and spreads are a given in a blender cookbook, but this surprisingly versatile collection also includes appetizers, salads, and main dishes with a blended component, like Fresh Spring Rolls with Orange-Almond Sauce, Twisted Caesar Pleaser, Spicy Chickpea Burgers with Portobello Buns and Greens, and I-Love-Veggies! Bake. And even though many of Tess’s smoothies and shakes taste like dessert—Apple Pie in a Glass, Raspberry-Lemon Cheesecake, or Tastes-Like-Ice- Cream Kale, anyone?—her actual desserts are out-of this-world good, from Chocolate-Chile Banana Spilly to Flourless Triple-Pecan Mousse Pie and Chai Rice Pudding. Best of all, every recipe can easily be adjusted to your personal taste: add an extra squeeze of this, another handful of that, or leave something out altogether— these dishes are super forgiving, so you can’t mess them up. Details on the benefits of soaking, sprouting, and dehydrating; proper food combining; and eating raw, probiotic-rich, and alkaline ingredients round out this nutrient-dense guide. But you don’t have to understand the science of good nutrition to run with The Blender Girl—all you need is a blender and a sense of adventure. So dust off your machine and get ready to find your perfect blend.

In Fart Free Vegan you will learn: - 5 common vegan food mistakes that create gas - How food combining impacts your health and weight - What causes gas and indigestion? - The classifications of foods and how the body digests each category differently - A quick tour of your digestive system while it breaks down a typical vegan meal - The 5 simple food combining rules for a happy belly Plus a free bonus: a printable food quick reference chart with foods classified by digestive category and food combining rules to keep at your fingertips. Are you following a healthy raw or vegan diet and failing to see the success or improvements that you expected? Are the nutritious foods you're eating making you bloated and full of gas? Did you know that your digestive system is designed to break down foods in a precise way? No matter how healthy the food you are eating, you will have gas and bloating if you break these rules. This book will introduce you to the science of food combining customized for a vegan diet. You'll understand how your digestive system works and what happens when incompatible foods are eaten in one meal (GAS!). Our digestive system developed before we had buffets, grand slam breakfasts, drive-thru fast food and four course dinners. This book shows the way food needs to be eaten and in what combinations to have optimal digestion, minimal gas and great health. Fart Free Vegan will help you get off of the indigestion supplement treadmill. Probiotics, apple cider vinegar, hydrochloric acid, enzymes and charcoal tablets won't cure our indigestion problems. The rules of proper food combining are the foundation of a harmonious digestive system and vibrant health. We may need supplements to pick us up along the way, but the way to optimal health, is to eat in harmony with our digestive system's principles. A Very Simple Change Brings Results No matter how healthy your diet and lifestyle, undigested foods putrefy, ferment, produce gas and indigestion and manufacture toxic bacteria in our gut. This leads to low energy, premature aging, weight gain and poor health. In Fart Free Vegan, Jon shares an important tool that he used to reverse a four year case of chronic fatigue. When he first started on a raw vegan diet, it was a dismal failure. He couldn't shake the discomfort of the gas and bloating after every meal. He knew that he had found the right diet, but only by implementing a few simple food combining rules did he see progress towards wellness. Examples include the common food combining mistakes that vegans make every day in their green smoothies, granolas and even their salads. And provides simple methods and alternatives so you can keep eating the foods you love, and lose the gas and indigestion. Fart Free Vegan provides solutions which will increase your awareness of the categories of food as determined by our body's ability to use enzymes and gastric fluids to harvest nutrients. The common vegan foods are categorized and simple rules of combining for healthy and efficient digestion are presented in an easy to follow format. This book is written for raw foodies and vegans, but anyone can benefit from more knowledge of our digestive system. No matter what you eat, combining foods properly for a happy digestive system will reward you with abundant energy, effortless weight control and vibrant health.

A top nutritionist provides her simple, proven five-level diet plan to safely make the transition to eating raw foods, and to detoxify and achieve a perfect body no matter how you eat now. The raw food craze has taken off, as raw restaurants spring up and celebrities, models, and other fans tout the effects of eating raw. However, many people who are intrigued by raw food simply don't know how to make the transition from what they're eating now, or how to achieve the benefits of eating raw without giving up their lifestyle or the foods they love. Natalia Rose, an in-demand nutritionist, shows how in The Raw Food Detox Diet. Whether your diet is primarily made up of meat and potatoes, or tofu and tempeh, you can incorporate the flavour and lasting health benefits of raw food into your life. Over time, our bodies build up poisons and store waste from food that is not fully eliminated. Raw food helps to detoxify the body by flushing out these poisons and setting us back on a course toward greater energy, clearer skin and shinier hair, and a slim, natural figure. But making the transition to a raw diet too quickly can have negative effects on the body. Instead, the healthier way is to make a gentle change based on your previous diet and current needs. You do not conform to The Raw Food Detox Diet; it conforms to you, and you choose how far you want to go. Whether you're looking to live an all-raw lifestyle, or just to improve your energy and shape while still eating the foods you love, this groundbreaking diet book will energize and inspire you to achieve your goals safely and easily.

Ten years ago, Carol Alt was feeling bad. Really bad. She had chronic headaches, sinusitis, and stomach ailments; she was tired and listless. And then Carol started eating raw—and changed her life. Eating in the Raw begins with her story and then presents practical, how-to information on everything you need to know about the exciting movement that’s been embraced by Demi Moore, Pierce Brosnan, Sting, Edward Norton, and legions of other health-minded people. You’ll learn: •What exactly raw food is—and isn’t—and how to integrate it into your diet •How to avoid the all-or-nothing pitfall: you can eat some cooked foods, you can eat some foods partially cooked, and you don’t have to deprive yourself •Why raw food is not just for vegetarians or vegans—Carol eats meat, and so can you •The differences between cooked and raw vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, and what they mean for you •An ease-in approach to eating raw, and how to eat raw in restaurants In addition, Carol answers frequently asked questions and offers forty simple recipes for every meal, from light dishes such as Gazpacho and Lentil Salad to entrees including Tuna Tartare and Spaghetti al Pesto and even desserts like Pumpkin Pie and Apple Tart with Crème Anglaise—rounding out a thorough, accessible, and eminently compelling case why in the raw is the best way to eat.
