Praise for Brendan Brazier:

"Brendan gets it! His nutritional approach is what supercharges results."
—Tony Horton, creator of P90X, the world's bestselling workout program

"Thrive Energy Cookbook is a must-have for gourmets and athletes alike."
—Sean Hyson, C.S.C.S., Group Training Director for Men's Fitness and Muscle & Fitness magazines

"When world-class athletes want to get even better, Brendan is the man who gets the call."
—Brendon Burchard, New York Times bestselling author of The Charge

"As our head of nutrition, Brendan's implementation of purpose-driven nutrition has allowed our pro cycling team to meet the demands of grueling training better than ever before."
—Matt Johnson, President of Garmin-Sharp Pro Cycling Team and founder of The Feed

"Brendan's commitment to the study of plant-based nutrition and research makes for a wonderful cookbook."
—Joe Hogarty, Baltimore Orioles strength and conditioning coach

"Brendan's systematic approach to performance plant-based nutrition has helped me to reduce inflammation, speed my recovery, and has boosted my overall performance. The recipes are delicious!"
—Mike Zigomanis, NHL player and member of the 2009 Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins



"Former Ironman triathlete Brendan Brazier is nothing short of a phenomenon. Not only did he show the world that professional athletes can excel on a vegan diet, he is the creator of the Vega line of plant-based nutrition products. When thumbing through his brand-new Thrive Energy Cookbook (Brazier's fourth book), I was astounded by the quality of his 150 whole-food recipes--which include a delightful chia seed blueberry pudding, a sumptuous yellow peanut curry rice bowl, and a mouthwatering strawberry-goji berry dark chocolate cheesecake. I want it all."―VegNews (Cofounder Coleen Holland)

"From the bestselling author of the Thrive series comes 150 plant-based, nutrient dense recipes. Athletes or anyone in need of an energy boost will enjoy dishes like kale chips with edamame hummus; avocado, black bean, and chipotle burger; and even the decadent cashew chocolate mousse layer cake."―New You

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Vegan Cookbook on the Market
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2014
Verified Purchase
As a vegan author, I love to cook. But only when the recipes are quick, clean and easily digestible. So many plant-based cookbooks have ingredient lists a mile long, are full of soy and processed items and are just too involved. I've been a follower of Brendan since Thrive, and these recipes are by far the best he's ever put out.

The recipes have short lists, clean, easy-to-find ingredients and very simple instructions. For those who love to sprout and soak their nuts and seeds, you can always take these recipes a step further by germinating, dehydrating, etc. But if you really want to eat clean food that tastes GOOD, these recipes nail that objective simply.

I love the "athlete" section for those who want good pre and post-workout food. So often, we don't know what to eat around our workouts and the book offers some simple, delicious solutions.

Even if you've never eaten plant-based, these recipes are perfect for any palette (however resistant you might be to "healthy" foods). As a 15 year vegan and an athlete all my life, this book is what I've been waiting for.

Because even when we're healthy, we can get into ruts eating the same things again and again. Thrive Energy breaks us out of that rut - for good.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute MUST HAVE for plant based living!
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2018

Wow! Wow! and Wow! While I am not fond of all the recipes because some of the ingredients are out of my reach, this book is a must have for anyone wanting a clean plant based diet. The recipes I tried came out delicious and the cake I made from Brendan's book turned out so pretty it was hard to make the first cut. Brendan gets it! HIs book and cookbook will help any man realize there are other protein sources outside of meat. This book will help any man eat healthier and still look muscular and will help women look more fit, while feeling better.

3.0 out of 5 stars Clean eats but so time-consuming!
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2014
Verified Purchase
Let me start by saying I respect Brendan Brazier. I have followed him and his progresses and discoveries on clean vegan nutrition for years. I am a firm believer that we need to clean up our diets and that natural sourced foods are the way to go for a better health, disease prevention, and for... thriving!
However, as good as his recipes look or sound like, they also are time-, energy-, and money-consuming. The ingredients for the recipes are often exotic and hard to find at your local grocery store (even at a co-op or natural store). You will have to go through three markets (including probably an Asian one) to find all for the coconut lime lemongrass soup as tempting as it is! Also for the spice mixes, you will have to find powdered reiki, or echinea and astralagus.
At last, his desserts and drinks recipes sound oh! so yummy, but come on! ...I need a high speed blender, slow-speed juice extractor, and high-speed juicer! I can't even start to think about making a green juice following his mighty king chlorophyll juice!
To sum up, I would say it's a great book with amazing, tasty, healthy recipes for people who have a lot of time and quite some money on hand and live in big cities where health stores flourish.

So much good information and delicious recipes that I can actually find most of the ingredients for near where I live.
It's not just a cookbook with recipes. The author educates the reader on what the body needs to "thrive", and what foods are going to enable the body to do that. A lot of good information included. The recipes really do look amazing, and easy to prepare. I'm very glad I purchased this book. It will help me a lot on my road to health and veganism.

4.0 out of 5 stars More delicious than I thought.
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2014
Verified Purchase
I got this cookbook to experiment with some healthy recipes during a 6-week sabbatical at work. I've tried several of the recipes so far and they have all been very good, even the ones that I thought might be borderline. The only criticism I have is that all the recipes I've tried so far are for one person only and I have a family of four. Not a huge problem, though, since you can just multiply the ingredients for more people.

I'm a fan of Brendan Brazier's VEGA shake powder. This adds another layer to my nutrition.

This book is worth it's weight in gold and then some!!!! Great tasting and quick recipes from start to finish. I would expect nothing less from Brendan Brazier. This book is worth purchasing immediately, whether you have read Brendan's other books or not, whether you are an athlete or not, whether you live on a plant based diet or you still consume dairy and meat. Anyone and everyone will benefit from purchasing this book. I know people who eat meat and dairy and those who don't who went out and purchased this book after I told them of the great recipes I have tried in it and after they have browsed through the book. They were all very happy after they made the purchase!

In my opinion: in recipes there is too much of bread used (grilled too), not enough illustrations or illustration are too dark.
But I liked the other two books by the same author I bought with this one, so I didn't returned this book -I left it as a complementary to the other books.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 30, 2014

This is a beautifully photographed, well laid out cookbook. Every single recipe is designed with your health in mind. Each recipe has an icon to provide further nutritional information, e.g. gf = gluten free option, pr = protein rich options, and so on. There are transitional recipes for those who are just venturing into a change of diet but for palates not yet used to a plant based one. The recipe for homemade almond milk is awesome. Well worth the time to make, which other than soaking is no time at all. I love the kale chips....very crunchy and the Roasted Red Pepper and Sweet Potato soup is one of the nicest soups I have tasted. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering a cleaner diet and for those that exercise and need better nutrition. You won't regret it.
