Book excerpt: Ultra-endurance athlete and best-selling author Rich Roll and his wife, Julie Piatt, team up to deliver this essential collection of delicious, simple, vegan recipes that leave you feeling energized, healthy, and satisfied. On the eve of his 40th birthday, Rich Roll realized that it was time for a major life change. Nearly 50 pounds overweight and winded by a mere trip up the stairs, Rich put on his running shoes and -- inspired by his wife, Julie -- undertook a plant-based, whole food diet. He quickly found himself feeling happier, healthier, and more energized than ever before. When Rich began training for elite ultra-endurance events it was this diet that fueled him. Julie set out to create nutrient-rich meals that would satisfy her active husband’s appetite and help him thrive, while appealing to the palates of their four children. Through trial, error, and a great deal of research, Julie developed an abundance of delicious, easy recipes to keep her whole family happy and healthy. Now, they share their everyday dishes, from energizing snacks to hearty meals and desserts. Complete with sidebars highlighting helpful lifestyle tips, this cookbook inspires not only nutritional eating but also a conscious and healthy life philosophy.
