Product Features
Where do I get my protein on a plant-based diet?
Registered dietitians Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina join agrologist Cory Davis for a deep dive into the politics and fallacies surrounding plant-based protein. Together, they present the science and studies that validate why protein derived from plants is not only comparable to protein from animal products but is also often superior to it! Readers are given a clear understanding of the role of macronutrients and micronutrients, and how the amino acids found in protein promote healthy growth. They learn how to determine their recommended daily allowance (RDA) for protein. The authors target specific age groups, as well as athletes and pregnant women, and offer recommendations for how to obtain all the vital protein and nutrients their bodies require. From a lower carbon footprint to plant compounds that help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, the case for eating more plant protein is strong. Pantry suggestions, cooking tips, quizzes and thirty recipes make it easy to put this essential information into practice.

Fabulous recipes. This has been a great book full of good information on how to increase protein in plant based meals. I’ve made three recipes so far and they have all been packed with flavor using ingredients that are easy to find at my local grocery store.
Excellent, reliable resource for the plant based community. I love Brenda Davis. This is a well written concise and science backed book. As a retired dietitian I really appreciate the work and research that went into this book
TOO MUCH EXPLANATION ABOUT PROTEIN. More than half of the book consists of discussion about what protein is. Even the guideline about how much protein is suggested is complicated because the weight of a person is listed in kilograms. I had to look up my weight in kilograms to understand how much protein they suggest. There are some recipes in the second half of the book, but even those are complicated and often have several parts and several choices to make. I was hoping to get simple recipes for everyday meals. The pictures of them look tempting until you realize how complicated they would be to make. I hope they will write another book that is simpler to use.Revised review: Although I still there is too much detail, I did find charts that were helpful in showing how to add items to a menu to increase the protein to 80, 100, etc. grams of protein.
Great information for vegans. There are so many mixed messages about protein. I found this quite helpful.
Very well written book with a wealth of information. Very informative book on ways to incorporate more plant protein into your diet.
