I received a free e-copy of The Healthnut Cookbook: Energize Your Day with Over 100 Easy, Healthy and Delicious Meals by Nikole Goncalves from NetGalley for my honest review.
A wonderfully written and beautifully detailed and outline cookbook that I recommend for any household. The recipes are fantastic, easy and healthy. A+++ on this cookbook.

Nikole's holistic approach to healthy eating is fantastic. As I get older and more focused on overall health rather than a specific weight/size, reading healthy approaches to food (instead of fad diets) are so much more valuable to me. I still have a hard time eating breakfast and would much prefer running off of coffee (which is unhealthy but something Nikole mentions) yet knowing so many out there do the same and can change is a positive influence. I liked her list of 'What's in My Pantry' that I was able to compare against mine - and I was pleasantly surprised to see how similar they were which gave me more confidence in trying out her recipes. Some items were surprising (Specialty Items -- herbal coffee -- what?!). I also appreciate that she has 'rise and sine breakfast cookies' - something healthy, easy to make, and healthy to grab on the go. Her 'healthnut tips' are interesting and fairly new to me. Overall, I really liked this book, its layout, the beautiful photos of the food, and the numbered instructions. The recipes are a pretty good twist and while I was disappointed to not see the nutritional facts, it does put more emphasis on eating for enjoyment and health rather than tracking everything going in.

This is a nice cookbook filled with a variety of recipes and lots of color photos (about 2/3 of the recipes have a photo, perhaps more, and there are copious amounts of photos of the author looking pretty while holding limes and things like that). It's divided into sections like breakfasts, salads, plates, sweets, etc. Many of the recipes are gluten free, though lots use spelt flour instead (which has gluten). Most are dairy free and most are vegetarian. There are lots of vegan recipes, too. No nutritional information is provided.
The book seems like a good balance between honestly healthy but not devoid of any taste or familiar sweetness, fats, etc. I was a little discouraged by the breakfast section since almost every recipe involved oats. My 12 y/o is allergic to gluten and oats (yes, even gluten free oats, as are about 25% of folks with Celiac Disease and gluten intolerance). I was intrigued by the green smoothie pancakes, though I'd have to make my own version as hers use spelt flour. Other recipes were equally intriguing (jalapeno pumpkin waffles? I'm only 25% creeped out and 75% intrigued!).
This would be a good book to preview online or through the library to see if it's a good fit, but all in all it seems like a great cookbook.

I've been following the Healthnut Nutrition accounts for some time now. I'm all about healthy eating so I was excited to get a copy of this prior to release day. The recipes in the book are great, although I was expecting a little more in the 'dinner' area.
The photos were great, but I do wish there were more photos of the recipes. Photos will always draw you in and if I'd seen more of them, I'm sure I'd want to head right into my kitchen to start cooking.
Overall, I think it's a great book and could definitely find myself cooking a lot of the recipes.
Received and ARC copy in exchange for my review.

The first recipe is for a delicious looking healthy breakfast cookie, and then a few pages later there's a recipe for chai oatmeal! At this point of the galley, I had to switch over to Amazon and put this book directly into my Wish List. Sold.
Every now and then you find a glorious unicorn of a cookbook that has healthy recipes that actually sound delicious and don't have obscure ingredients you need to Google and then drive 45 miles away to find. This is one of those glorious unicorns.
Highly recommended for human beings who make and consume food.

This cookbook is a great resource for experienced healthy eaters looking for inspiration for unprocessed, clean eating. It contains many vegan and gluten free recipes (or at least variations for them), so this cookbook would appeal to those diets. Many of the recipes contain at least 10 ingredients, so readers should be prepared to stock up on a lot of possibly new ingredients. In addition - some of the ingredients seem to be fairly unique to the specific recipe, so it's uncertain if it is worth buying that certain ingredient, only for it to go bad later.
However, the cookbook is laid out well - with introductory chapters on meal-prepping, a mini meal plan, pantry/kitchen staples, and an argument for healthy eating. In addition, each recipe is labeled with small symbols indicating if it's gluten free, meal prep friendly, plant-based or freezer friendly. This is a quick way to determine if a recipe is right for you.
I would recommend this cookbook to healthy eaters who have experience trying new foods, or to those following vegan/gluten free/dairy free diets. I wouldn't recommend it to those just starting on their healthy eating journey.

The Healthnut Cookbook by Goncalves is a great cookbook. One caveat is that many of the recipes have a lot of ingredients that I would not usually stock in my cupboard, this can be both good and bad. Good for people who want to mix up their regular healthy diet and bad for those of us who would like to simply try a few recipes out but not invest in a 2lb bag of coconut/almond flour. Aside from that, anyone who is looking to find inspiration for a healthier diet or someone who wants to shake things up a bit, I think this book would be great for them. The recipes are filled with healthy fats, fiber, and proteins. The photographs of the recipes make your mouth water, but I find it very unlikely that I would cook many of them myself.

I've only tried one of the recipes in this book so far, but it was delicious and I'm excited to try more. It's a beautiful book - there are full page photographs for almost all of the recipes.
As for the recipes, most of them consist of ingredients you could find at a standard grocery store. While quickly browsing the recipes, the only ingredient I found that I suspect I would need to go to a specialty store for is spirulina powder. Since the author tries to minimize gluten in her diet, she uses a variety of flours instead of wheat flour in her recipes. One aspect of the recipes that I'm uncertain about is that many of them use coconut oil, which I tend avoid. I'll probably try substituting butter or avocado oil in most of the recipes that call for coconut oil.

I've been subscribed to Nikole on YouTube for a while, and was very excited to hear about her cookbook. There are a ton of great recipes here, although the only one I've actually made so far is the Salted Caramel Stovetop Granola; so good! There are sections for all meals of the day, as well as sections on kitchen staples and equipment needed for cooking. The recipes all sound great and everything is easy to read and follow.
Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy.

Wonderful cookbook filled with a variety of recipes to satisfy any craving! These recipes will work for anyone following a gluten-free diet as well as a vegan or vegetarian diet. All ingredients are readily available and the instructions are relatively simple. I look forward to trying several recipes, starting with the zucchini fritters!
Thank you, Hachette Books and NetGalley for a ARC!

Remek, változatos receptek, csupa egészséges hozzávaló, kedves személyes történet. Egészen sok jó ötlet meríthető ebből a szakácskönyvből. Nicole Youtube csatornája is meglehetősen szórakoztató, minden megtekintett rész ad egy adag egészséges alternatívák felé elindító löketet a családi táplálkozásunkat illetően.

We follow Nikole on YouTube and enjoy her videos, but these recipes don't really appeal to us. The photos are beautiful, but the recipes are EXTREMELY complicated and require a ton of unique ingredients. It's not a cookbook for people with full-time jobs and busy lives.

All the recipes in this Book are Delicious. I was lucky enough to be a taste tester for this Book :)
