Summary

Over 100 amazing recipes with guidance on following the pegan diet, a balanced, anti-inflammatory blend of the paleo and vegan diets.

From the creator of SunkissedKitchen.com, Michelle Miller brings over 100 delicious pegan diet recipes to the table and introduces you to the eating philosophy that celebrates plant-based foods, limits sugar intake and focuses on a high fiber diet in The Beginner’s Pegan Diet Cookbook. ​This cookbook puts you on the path to a balanced, anti-inflammatory eating approach that provides you with the necessary vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and phytonutrients your body needs. The principles of the pegan diet are:

• Unlimited low-glycemic, and occasional high-glycemic, fruits and vegetables
• Limited dairy or inclusion of raw and fermented dairy product
• Minimally processed whole foods
• Small amounts of gluten-free grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds as well as meat and eggs
• No gluten and small amounts of minimally-processed sugar

Unlike paleo and vegan diets, following the pegan philosophy is less restrictive, so you can easily maintain lifelong health. Inside this book, you will find pegan recipes for every meal of the day plus snacks and desserts, including: 

• Lemon-Raspberry Buckwheat Muffins
• Chia Seed Power Crackers
• Salmon and Artichoke Skewers
• Turkey Sweet Potato Chili
• Pesto Spaghetti Squash with Blistered Tomatoes
• Seared Lamb Chops with Citrus Mint Salad
• Almond Berry Cobbler

Make healthy eating feel like a treat instead of a chore with The Beginner's Pegan Diet Cookbook.
