Curry Quinoa Salad

This Curry Quinoa Salad recipe comes from the new book, Vegan Weight Loss Manifesto by Zuzana Fajkusova and Nikki Lefler.

Taking control of your health and thriving on a plant based diet is easy with the right tools and this book would be a great addition to your arsenal. It’s not just a cookbook, but an entire “8-week plan to change your mindset, lose weight and thrive.”

You’ll find shopping lists, meal plans, fitness schedules, and even suggestions and instructions for lifestyle habits like meditation. If one of your goals in the new year is to get healthy (or healthier) you’ve gotta take a look at this book!

Zuzana Fajkusova and Nikki Lefler are the founders of the blog, Active Vegetarian. There they share plant based recipes, fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle tips to help people take responsibility for their own health.

The Vegan Weight Loss Manifesto is their new book that puts it all together, in an easy to understand and apply way, to make living your healthiest life a breeze.

Because this book is not just a cookbook, it’s set up a little differently. There are 4 parts broken down into smaller sections to make it easy to find what you’re looking for.

Part 1 – I Choose To Be Healthy, Happy and Fit

Here you’ll find out if this plan will work for you (spoiler alert – YES, if you put in the work, you will succeed), why they chose plant based, and how to use the book to get the most out of it.

Part 2 – I’m Ready: Let’s Do This

This is the part where the weekly nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle plans come in. It’s broken down into sections by week. Each section (or week) you’ll have clear instructions on what to do, add, or subtract from your life. For example: Out with the Junk, In with the Healthy; Sit Less, Move More; Meal Prep 101; Stress Management; Interval Training Time, and more.

Part 3 – Let’s Get Cooking

This is my favorite part, of course, because – food! Here’s just a sampling of what you’ll find:

Lunch – Roasted Garlic and Red Pepper Sandwich; Tempeh Reuben Sandwich; and the Curry Quinoa Salad recipe that you’ll find at the end of this post!

Part 4 – My Vegan Kitchen

In this part you’ll learn about helpful kitchen tools, what to buy organic (or not), and soaking and sprouting times for beans/nuts/grains.

Extra Support – With this book, comes not only everything I’ve already mentioned, but online support from Nikki and Zuzana as well. When you see a web icon in the book, it indicates there is additional support available online in the form of videos, additional meal plans, extra recipes, motivational tips, and more! You will get access to the client-only section of their website to ensure you are successful in your journey. How cool is that?!
