After pigging out on donuts, I’m getting back on track with The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook by Dr. Neal Barnard and Robyn Webb. It’s the latest cookbook I’ve received for review from the publisher.
The first part of the book covers how a plant-based diet can improve your health and the science behind it. There’s also a section of inspiring stories of people reaping the many benefits of a vegan diet including weight loss, reversing diabetes and lowering cholesterol and high blood pressure.
The second part is a collection of simple, low-fat recipes and menu ideas using easy to find ingredients at the local run-of-the-mill supermarket.
I really like breakfast potatoes. So imagine my delight to see a recipe for Sweet Potato Hash with Peppers. But since I have a deep aversion to bell peppers, I replaced them with fresh shiitake mushrooms.
I also threw in fresh chopped parsley at the last minute. Quite tasty and so colorful, it’s a nice change from regular white potatoes (nutritional information is also provided with all of the recipes).
To get you started on healthier eating or back on track, whatever the case may be, I’m giving away a copy of The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook.

My favorite breakfast food has got to be pancakes or waffles!
I subscribed, btw! :)
Pancakes! Any kind!
I love your blog (I subscribe through Google Reader). I really love making this Curry Cauliflower Frittata from Vegan Brunch. It’s so, so good, especially with some roasted potatoes!
Ooh! French toast! With real maple syrup, of course.
Oatmeal with cocoa powder and strawberries and blueberries will always be my favorite breakfast. It’s like a personal chocolate fountain in the morning!
Have a lovely day!
xox
fav bfast food used to be chilaquiles…. i gotta figure out a vegan version to replace it. i subscribe through google reader btw. : )
Already a follower and fan of Chow Vegan. :) I love your healthy recipe ideas and drool-inducing photos!
Hmmmm… favorite breakfast food? I love having some fresh fruit (especially strawberries, pineapple, and watermelon) with soy yogurt for breakfast. I’m usually not too hungry when I wake up in the morning, but I do like some sugar to get my energy moving.
Breakfast burritos! No eggs of course, but lots of potatoes, peppers, onions, black beans & green sauce. Tofu is good in the burrito ,too.
My favorite breakfast food is oatmeal with cinnamon, peanut butter and drenched in vanilla soy milk with a side of fresh fruit.
My favorite breakfast food right now, is probably not going to be considered ‘breakfast’ food by anyone here, but I love chickpeas mixed with salsa eaten on rice cakes! I love all beans in general for breakfast!
Cinnamon, Brown Rice Syryp, & Earth Balance Butter toasted on Quinoa Wheat Bread.
I love those vegan ‘scrambled eggs’ – I admit that I cheat and use the packaged mixes with tofu.
The Lumberjack from Spiral Diner! tofu scramble with soysage and biscuits and gravy.
Smoothie! Banana, flaxseed, frozen blueberries, a peach and a handful of arugula. Delish!
a big ww tortilla filled with veggies and advocado…yum
A sprouted english muffin w/ almond butter and a glass of vanilla almond milk. :)
My current favorite breakfast is a bowl of Cinnabon cereal. I’m glad it doesn’t have to be a healthy option.
For the past 5 years or so, I’ve been eating oatmeal practically every morning. I can’t get enough of it! Recently I’ve been enjoying cold overnight oats with nut butter and fruit toppings. Looove it.
I subscribed through Google Reader, btw!
I don’t usually get to eat breakfast in the morning, but I am a HUGE fan of breakfast for dinner. I love a good tofu scramble with tons of veggies thrown in it. So good!
without dispute – raw vegan oatmeal with mango!
I subscribe by reader
I love a bagel with tofutti for breakfast!
summer breakfasts are my favorite: toast with tomatoes, or a big bowl of peaches.
I make something similar for years now.. Who knew it was as healthy as they say!! Good for me… The say the best way to stay healthy is: EAT BREAKFAST LIKE A KING, LUNCH LIKE A PRINCE, DINNER LIKE A PAUPER….
I love miso soup for breakfast but I frequently end up with bagels with peanut butter.
I love a sprouted english muffin with peanut butter along with a banana/mango smoothie.
Those potatoes look amazing!
I would have to say my favourite breakfast food is waffles…smothered in EB and maple syrup. I don’t have them very often though…
ALready a subscriber. My favorite brekfast food is the tofu scramble with sweet potatoes cut in small chunks with mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and spinach served with a corn tortilla on the side and lots of cholula hot sauce. Yum!!
I will have to say steel cut oatmeal with organic blueberries and a fresh fruit salad. O..and ofcourse homemade vegan blueberry pancakes. YUM!!
Already subscribed. :) For breakfast I like fresh fruit and granola.
Smoothie! banana, apple, almond powder, flax seeds, sunflower seeds. And pancakes or scrambled tofu!
My favorite not so healthy breakfast is the one I saw Paula Deen, the queen of butter, make on Food Network the other morning. She took her raw eggs (one could use egg whites or Egg Beaters), and beat them up with salt and pepper and added her favorite omelete veggies to the egg mix like diced mushrooms, onions and bell peppers and she added some cheese but that is certainly optional. She poured the egg mix into a heavy duty zip lock sandwich freezer baggie and zipped it close. She carefully squished the mixture up and then she dropped the baggie into a pot of gently boiling water and simmered for 8-10 minutes. When she took out the baggie, she had a perfecly formed omelete and she carefully dumped the omelete out of the baggie onto the plate. It looked great…..
I’m alittle weird but the thing I like best for breakfast is leftovers. I really like having leftover dinner for breakfast the next day, even sometimes cold!
I like Kashi Go Lean Cereal with almond milk.. Or tofu scramble with mushrooms and nutritional yeast.. Been subscribed to your emails for a while now. love your blog!
fried tofu and a morningstar breakfast pattie sandwiched in a pan-toasted, earth balance slathered foccacia roll. love breakfast!
Cinnamon Rolls!!
Brown rice with scrambled tofu, potatoes, steamed broccoli and veggie sausage. Sounds odd, tastes amazing.
I make a gluten-free, soy-free, added sugar-free, yeast-free loaf of bread each weekend, and I have toast every morning. My daughter calls it “shadow bread” in honor of the vegan episode of South Park. It is actually pretty good!
pancakes! I made up my own recipe for gluten free vegan pancakes, and they are spectacular!
leftovers – I’m not big on breakfast food!
My favorite breakfast is vegan blueberry pancakes. Can’t get enough of them!
I subscribed to your blog!
I love either a big green monster smoothie or tofu scramble!
PS I was already a subscriber
Totally excited about this cookbook, thanks for the great review!
I’ve been subscribed for quite some time, and my favorite breakfast food is steel cut oatmeal. Can’t start my day without it.
Subscribed! Fave bkfast food — “fakin’ bacon’ smoked tempeh with last night’s leftover tofu stir-fry.
Great blogQ
Without a doubt muesli (homemade and hydrated overnight with soymilk) – so yummy!
thanks for holding this awesome giveaway! my favorite breakfast item is an egg omelet with LOADS of spinach, mushrooms and onion topped with fresh salsa!
when im in a full on cooky mood i love whipping up some tofu scramble loaded with veggies. so good :)
I must say that I LOVE cereal. I would choose it over almost anything! Except maybe Vans waffles…they’re a close second!
Crispy bacon, and lots of it. Eggs over medium with a toasted salt bagel (the real NY kind), with lots of those little individual butter packs to slather it, and dip into the yolk of the egg. Bottomless coffee. It used to be my favorite, right next to a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a kaiser roll, again, lots of butter (messy was important). Memories.
vegan chocolate chip pancakes, with a side of tempeh bacon.
breakfast burritos!
Vegan peanut butter waffles with loads of maple syrup and fresh fruit!
Its a toss-up between tofu scramble, blueberry muffins, and frittata. I LOVE the frittata because my husband does it different every time based on what vegetables we have lying around.
I subscribe through google reader.
pancakes or waffles with warm berry compote and maple syrup served with a side of perfectly crisp hash browns, orange juice, and tea
I am addicted to oatmeal with apple butter.

My favorite breakfast food is a very well made breakfast burrito or over-filled omelet. I have yet to perfect making either but I am trying!
Oatmeal with fresh fruit and almonds. Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite breakfast food is a toss up between whipped banana ice cream or cold oatmeal, but that sweet potato hash has certainly caught my eye, too!
LOVE hashbrowns best!
I love a good scrambled tofu, that would be my favourite at the moment!
My favorite breakfast food would have to be Mexican tortilla wraps, filled with delicious scrambled tofu, beans, tomatoes, maybe even some avocado! It’s not for the faint of heart!
I also used to love eggs benedict before becoming vegan, so I wish I could find a way to replicate that!
Hi, and thanks for the giveaway!
Scrambled tofu is my all time fav. with a side of roasted potatoes, no creepy green peppers.
My favorite breakfast food is tofu scramble with mushrooms, tomatoes, cheez sauce, and faux sausage! Nom nom….:-)
