I am slowly beginning the transition into vegetarian and towards vegan and I must say so far I have felt better and more energized than ever! I’ve cut out all dairy and meat products and recipes like this have made it so easy to do.

The shake might be the best recipe ive ever had!

Thanks for the knowledge to make my life better!

These recipes sound good! I have been considering hard switching over to vegetarian, so starting slow. Are all of these recipes one serving? Also, when you say 1 cup of beans or 1 cup of quinoa does that mean cooked or uncooked b/c I buy bagged beans and not canned? Thanks!

Dave,
I just get frozen organic spinach and break it up and throw it in the shakes.

Patty,
Sounds good. I will give it a shot.

M.P.,
Glad you like it. Not sure about other veggies as I have only used spinach.

Awesome work, Joey.

Chris,
I like the sounds of that and will give it a try.

Feel free to keep adding recipes, guys.

Jay, have a question about bodyweight exercises. In your program, sets of 5-8 are prescribed for exercises like dips and chin ups. What happens when I can do more than 8, should I do more(AMAP) or should I stick to 8?

Here is myr favorite vegan beans and rice recipe that is more italian flavored.

1 cup organic brown rice or quinoa
1 cup organic great northern beans
1/4 cup orgnanic tomato paste
chooped red onion
chopped garlic
chopped red pepper(or roasted red pepper)
fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp coconut oil
italian herbs (thyme, basil, oregano , rosemary)
sea slat and black pepper

Tastes great and is loaded with nutrition, you can also ad some spinach to get a little green in there. Enjoy guys.

Talked to Jay about putting on some more muscle and he obviously recognized that I needed more protein in my diet. Have been starting my days with the shake he prescribed above and I’ve put on 2 “healthy” pounds since last week which is a great start. Definitely an awesome source of protein in the morning along with some eggs..I’ve also felt a boost of energy with it after a night where I’ve gotten less than 8 hours of sleep in and felt great during the morning, definitely some sort of stimulus..try it

Jason – just made your shake, sans oats. Holy shit this is the best protein drink I may have ever had!!

Should I assume that one cold work any type of vegetable in there (broccoli, beets, other things I don’t eat as much as I should) since the fruit and chocolate almond milk overpower the taste?

Also made a grilled portobello mushroom burger for dinner tonight. Very tasty too.

I’ve been meaning to make that stew – thanks for the recipe. And I am always a sucker for beans & rice.

Dave – I use the frozen bags of cut spinach myself, not the brick. Its easier to pour into the blender. I usually find mine in the frozen section near the other big bags of veggies like corn, green beans, etc. It usual says “Cut Leaf” or something similar depending on the brand.

Brian G – I am using a Cuisinart SmartPower 7-Speed Electronic Blender that I bought at my local food store for under $50. Best blender I’ve owned – mixes up these shakes with no problems.
