Lectin Avoidance Cookbook

150 recipes to avoid the secretly dangerous proteins hiding in your favorite foods!

You know to avoid gluten. But gluten is just the most well-known source of the plant-based protein called lectin, which causes inflammation, weight gain, and serious diseases. It isn’t possible to eliminate lectin from your diet entirely, but with smart food choices you can eat healthy while greatly reducing how much lectin you consume. 

This easy-to-use cookbook features 150 recipes that not only are nutrition-packed and great-tasting, but also carefully avoid foods that are particularly high in lectin, including legumes, grains, dairy, and nightshade plants such as tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant. Recipes include:

• Cilantro Ginger Chicken • Coconut Shrimp • Peppercorn Beef and Broccoli • Smoky Sweet Potato Soup • Apple Cinnamon Pancakes • Maple Chocolate Torte • Parsnip Fries with Hazelnut Picada, and many more
