This book serves as a complete guide to a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle for your entire family, with more than 125 kid-friendly recipes and tips for raising a whole-foods-loving child.
MY OVERALL IMPRESSION
I like that this book helps families have better, easier and healthier lives. Some people think vegan food is weird, but the vegan recipes in this book are kid-friendly and will be familiar to most people. Who can resist pancakes, nachos, pasta and ice pops? Personally, I grew up on those staples. This book shows you that while transitioning to a vegan diet, you CAN enjoy your favorite meals and snacks.
WHAT SETS THIS BOOK APART
This book is geared toward families. Michael Gregor, MD called it “”an essential book to protect the health and future of your family.”

FROM THE PUBLISHER
The publisher of the book says, “Backed by scientific research, the film’s doctors and expert researchers made the radical (but convincing!) case that modern diseases can be prevented and often reversed by removing meat, dairy, and highly refined foods from one’s diet. The documentary sparked a medical and nutritional revolution, leading more and more people to adopt a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle—including celebrities like Ariana Grande, Dr. Oz, and Katy Perry.”
About Forks Over Knives
From Forks Over Knives:
“Forks Over Knives empowers people to live healthier lives by changing the way the world understands nutrition…The film set out to demonstrate how a diet based on fruits, vegetables, tubers, whole grains, and legumes makes all the difference when it comes to good health. To date, millions of people have watched the film, which received rave reviews from medical experts and entertainment critics alike…In 2016, we introduced Forks Over Knives Family, a parent’s guide to raising healthy, happy kids that includes more than 125 recipes to nourish the entire family.”
