Book Review: Plant-Powered Protein by Brenda Davis, Vesanto Melina, and Cory Davis

If you’re vegetarian, vegan, or simply looking to add more plant-based meals to your plate, Plant-Powered Protein is a must-have resource. Written by renowned Canadian dietitians Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina, along with Cory Davis, this book is equal parts nutritional textbook and practical cookbook — and that’s exactly what makes it so valuable.

What I love about this book is how it blends solid, evidence-based nutrition information with approachable, delicious recipes. It answers one of the most common questions in plant-based eating — “But where do you get your protein?” — with clarity, science, and reassurance. You’ll find detailed explanations on protein needs across the lifespan, guidance on plant-based sources, and tips for building balanced, satisfying meals.

Whether you’re new to plant-based eating or have been on this journey for years, this book offers something for everyone. It’s empowering, practical, and deeply informative — and it deserves a spot on your kitchen shelf.
