Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life

Thrive is a long-term eating plan that will help you develop a lean body, sharp mind, and everlasting energy, whether you’re a professional athlete or simply looking to boost your physical and mental health. One of the few professional athletes on an entirely plant-based diet, Brendan Brazier researched and developed this easy-to-follow program to enhance his performance as an elite endurance athlete. Brazier clearly describes why it’s easier for the body to utilize nutrient-rich foods in their natural state than refined, processed foods and how to choose nutritionally efficient, stress-busting whole foods to maximize energy and health. And because plant-based foods are more environmentally friendly to produce, you’ll also help the planet while improving your personal health.

Thrive features:

* the best whole foods 

* a 12-week whole foods meal plan 

* over 100 easy-to-make recipes with raw food options that are all wheat-, gluten-, soy-, corn-, refined sugar-, and dairy-free,

* exercise-specific recipes for pre-workout snacks, energy gels, sports drinks, and recovery smoothies 

* environmental preservation – learn how Thrive can help
