The Genius of Jeff Novick

Dietician Jeff Novick is one of the early voices for Whole Food, Plant Based Nutrition (WFPBN), and is known for adapting WFBPN for people whose busy schedules and/or limited income may influence the time and/or money they have for meal preparation.

To learn more about Jeff Novick's qualifications, click here.

Some of his meals are made from "semi-scratch."  That is, his recipes using brown rice call for a favorite brand, Success, that is partially cooked and available in supermarkets in porous cooking bags.  Veggies may be purchased already trimmed and frozen.  Tomatoes in cartons are a staple.  He recommends certain Tabatchnik soups that are plant based and salt-free. One pot meals are his specialty.

These are simple recipes, quick and easy to prepare, to make healthful, filling main courses for four.  They are meals that even young people could prepare to serve a family, or that one person could prepare for one or two meals and then freeze the remainder for later.

To see what is in some of his "Fast Food" recipes on Facebook, click here.

These are not gourmet meals, although they can be "dressed up" with creative seasoning and condiments.  But they are made with ingredients that are easy to keep on hand on the shelf or in the freezer and have on the table in minutes!

Jeff Novick's instruction videos are for sale at Amazon and also at his website.

Also find his videos searching for Jeff Novick on You Tube.  Look for his videos on "Fast Food."

There is more information from Jeff Novice on his Facebook page.  Jeff Novick's Facebook Page.

I don't think I would want to live on these meals day after day, and I would want more greens raw and cooked in my diet, but for a quick meal I think it would be good to have some of the ingredients in these dishes on hand!
