The Brain Warrior's Way Cookbook: Over 100 Recipes to Ignite Your Energy and Focus, Attack Illness and Aging, Transform Pain into Purpose Paperback – November 22, 2016 by Tana Amen BSN RN and, Daniel G. Amen M.D. (Berkley)

I’ve been a personal trainer for six years. I study nutrition and ways to adjust diet for individual clients. The recipes in this book are amazing. They’re back to basics. Just wholesome, creative yet, simple to make and delicious stuff. They’re easy to cook. And it’s approach to health is different than any other cookbook I’ve read. I love that it’s brain focused and so do my clients. By not just focusing on my client’s body goals, I feel like I just add another level of value to them by improving their brain health too.

I also love the warrior approach to food. Being militant about how and what we eat and understand that we are fueling our body and brain to perform is so essential to what I do.

My two current favorite recipes in the book are the One-Minute Avocado Egg Basket and Two Ingredient Nutty Butter Cups. For starters, I love how simple both of them are to make. Avocado and egg for breakfast is the best way to start your day. And being a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup fan, Tana’s Nutty Butter Cups really allow me to satisfy that sweet tooth craving. If you’re looking for a great way to improve your diet with food that helps your brain, I highly recommend this book.
