Eat Clean, Play Dirty: Recipes for a Body and Life You Love by the Founders of Sakara Life

I have tried some of the Sakara products but not their meal delivery plan as its not exactly conducive for a whole family nor someone that travels as much as I do; so the chance to replicate their clean eating recipes for the bargain price of this book was a compelling reason to purchase! This book is, quite frankly amazing. If you own many plant based books, you will quickly begin to recognize the same recipes replicated over and over again with maybe tiny tweaks to make them unique. This is certainly not the case in this book - the recipes are largely unique, and kudos for the fact that the vast majority of the ingredients are things you could find in any major supermarket. The book is also bright, fresh and full of colorful pictures of the featured dishes. Its part story book and pa recipe book as it begins with the authors stories, the story behind Sakara and some basic detail about the "eat clean, play dirty" mantra.....which just note, you will need to be a lover of your greens as this lifestyle emphasizes six to eight cups of greens a day but does come full of suggestions to getting them into your diet. The chapters then include breakfast, lunch, dinner, dressings, desserts and cocktails . There are so many enticing recipes. Nothing too complicated and most if not all can be accomplished without necessitating expensive equipment or crazy amounts of prep time. I plan on routinely making the Green bars - packed with seeds, sweetened with fruit and taken up a notch with Chlorella. The salads will be my go to this summer and both the salads and home made dressings are very easy to prepare. I love the Taco salad with Walnut Chorizo as it avoids using fake meats and ups the protein with the nuts. The Red Beet burgers are almost a make your own "Beyond Meat" burger and pretty simple to prepare. There are some heavier main meals which would be ideal for the cooler weather and a wide range of desserts and the strawberry 'Chia-sicles' will be a go to for me as we are already hitting 90 degrees and what a neat way to keep the kids healthy. It ends with some beautiful cocktails which will be perfect for the upcoming summer months! Simply love this book, the recipes and the creativity. Cannot wait to keep preparing these dishes!

The Sakara cookbook has delicious recipes and introduces a playful attitude toward food and healthy eating. I have a lot of food allergies/sensitivities, and I am always looking for good recipes to promote wellness. I stumbled upon Sakara a few months ago as I was starting to implement a more plant-based diet to keep up with my demanding 80+ hour/wk schedule. I was hoping to find food that worked well with my digestive system and gave me energy and focus. I was so excited to find that Sakara was coming out with a cookbook because I couldn’t afford the meal subscription service. The recipes are delicious and fairly easy if you have experience cooking. It also provides a good basic knowledge of adaptogens and “superfoods.” However, it would be easy to get overwhelmed if you aren’t used to cooking from scratch or experimenting with new ingredients. I recommend this book for everyone as this way of eating has helped me maintain a healthy digestive system, increased my energy and overall well-being, and expanded my capacity for productivity because it has helped restore my gut health by focusing on “healing” foods. The recipes take a little time, but if you’re used to cooking for yourself it won’t be an issue. If you are a beginner, I recommend making incremental changes so you don’t get overwhelmed. You’ll still get lots of health benefits by leaving out the adaptogens, if they overwhelm you. You can also find all of them on Amazon and order in bulk to cut down on cost and frustration in the grocery store. This book promotes playful learning and cooking, so have fun and know that it takes time to learn new ingredients. It makes cooking this way fun and a continual learning experience. Whatever stage you’re in, I highly recommend this book! You will undoubtedly feel and look amazing!

Excelente para quiénes estamos en el mundo de la salud y bienestar.

Amazing book

Beautiful clean recipes but quite advanced recipes with some ingredients hard to source. Beautifully written, beautiful images and two fantastic woman doing great things. I fully support them and this book.

sehr schön fotografiertes lifestyle-kochbuch, mir sind die rezepte zu ausgefallen und zu kompliziert, habe noch nie etwas nachgekocht - aber es ist so hübsch
