Publisher's Synopsis
World-renowned model and wellness advocate Gisele Bu¨ndchen presents 100 delicious and approachable recipes based on everyday ingredients, and focused on kickstarting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle while finding balance and intention through food Superstar model and environmental activist Gisele Bu¨ndchen believes wellness begins with food. At home, she follows an 80/20 plan, with 80% of her diet focused on fueling her body with healthy and lean proteins and nutrient-rich vegetables while the remaining 20% is reserved for eating with more flexibility (hello mom's chicken lasagna!). This means recipes free of gluten and refined sugars, and that rely on ingredients like almond flour, oat flour, and coconut sugar to create dishes that fuel your body. In her first cookbook, she devotes the first quarter of the book to walking readers through adjusting to this new mindset and offers practical guidance and her philosophy for making it work. From breaking cycles to journaling and setting intentions, buying in bulk, minimizing waste, and meal planning, Nourish is as much about living with mindfulness as it is about cooking. Based on vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and legumes, you'll find recipes like: Everyday Fruits: Papaya-Almond Smoothie; Acai Bowls; Banana Ice Cream Breakfast and Breads: Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo); Veggie Frittata; Coconut Milk Two Ways Salads: Steak Salad; Beet and Arugula Salad with Herby Goat Cheese Soups: Sneeze-Be-Gone Soup; Ramen-Style Soup with Steamed Vegetables Everyday Vegetables: Summer Rolls with Ginger-Cashew Dipping Sauce; Pizza Night; Pesto Chicken Wrap Favorite Proteins: Grilled Ribeye with Chimichurri; Sheet Pan Squash and Chickpeas; Chicken Meatballs Crunchies and Condiments: Maple-Harissa Cashews; Seed Crackers; Tamari Dressing 3 Ways Sweets: Pecan Bars; Banana Dream Pie; Carrot Muffins Just like many of us, Gisele is no stranger to restrictive diet fads and unhealthy eating habits.
