Bosh Healthy Vegan

I totally agree with their sentiment to ditch the diets and that healthy eating is for life. This is more than a recipe book as part of it is dedicated to “how to live well”.  The 6 pillars they emphasise are:

• sleep
• move
• relax
• love yourself
• love others
• live with purpose

They also include 5 golden rules to eating well:

• the rainbow ratio – 50|25|25 – fruits and vegetables | whole grains | proteins
• mix up your plate
• eat your greens
• aim for 80/20 – 80% healthy / 20% naughty
• get your vitamins

For the vitamin list Henry and Ian recommend the following:

• Iron
• Iodine
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin B12
• Calcium
• Vitamin A
• Magnesium
• Zinc
• Omega 3

For someone on a vegan or vegetarian diet, Vitamin B12 is extremely important. However, before starting any vitamin regime it is best to consult with a professional. Personally, I cannot take calcium supplements so it is worth noting that this list will not be suitable for everyone.

Recipes that caught my eye:

• puttanesca potato stew (p70)
• healthy saag paneer (p73)
• nasi goreng (p75)
• Indian spiced tomato soup (p86)
• niçoise salad (p97)
• satay salad (p101)
• middle-eastern spiced chickpea salad (p104)
• salsa verde couscous (p107)
• Cat’s curryflower (p148)
• salad lasagne (p154)
• healthier pizza dough (p165)
• hoisin sauce (p173)
• jacked flapjacks (p203)
• banana berry ice cream (p204)
• Bosh! bars (p224)

My impressions:

For those of you on a calorie controlled diet, this recipe book is great as it includes the calorie information for each recipe. There is also information on whether the recipes are low fat; low sugar; full of fibre; and/or protein packed. Protein replacement is also vital for a vegan diet.

What I made:

I made the chickpea salad and the salsa verde couscous the same day. We were responsible for the salads for New Year’s Eve and I was glad to have two new recipes to try. Both went down a treat and variations will be repeated.
