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.

Blogger Hansen’s 28-day plan is a thoughtfully crafted diet and exercise regimen for those starting a plant-based diet. Hansen explains the logistics behind weight loss or weight gain, and what to expect from one’s body when it transitions to performing on plant-based fuel. Debunking the notion that a vegan diet is expensive to maintain, Hansen offers suggestions for cheap grocery shopping and strategies for saving money, such as buying in bulk and opting for generic brands. What stands out most in Hansen’s book, however, is her concern for optimal health, including an emphasis on meditation, restorative sleep, and the importance of hydration. The 28-day plan itself is meticulously constructed with comprehensive grocery lists, meal-prep schedules, and journaling exercises. Her recipes are no-frills and use a limited number of ingredients—such as a blue medjool smoothie with blueberries and dates; white chocolate nut butter made from macadamia nuts and cacao butter; herbed lentils and white bean dip; a tofu spring roll bowl served with a side of maple pumpkin seeds; and a baked mustard-tofu sandwich. This plant-based reboot is an excellently organized and enlightening resource. (Sept.)
