Badass Vegan

Fuel Your Body, Ph*ck the System, and Live Your Life Right: A Cookbook

By: John W. Lewis, Rachel Holtzman

Narrated by: John W. Lewis

A “wake you up” manifesto and plant-based lifestyle plan to buck the system that keeps us fat, sick, and tired—from the Badass Vegan.

As John Lewis, aka “The Badass Vegan,” says, when most people meet him, vegan isn’t the first word that comes to mind. He’s six-foot-six, African American, with the build of a guy who played Division I college basketball. Not bad for someone who hasn’t had any animal protein in fifteen years.
Lewis became a plant-based eater when he saw how the conventional American diet was utterly failing his community. As he describes, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and chronic pain are killing Black people faster than any gun. The issue of food injustice is huge and complex, but as Lewis tells his strong community of followers, one solution is simple: Wake up now and do better in your own life. Want to give the middle finger to the processed food and pharmaceutical industries that are keeping you fat, sick, and tired? Go plant-based.
Badass Vegan offers an irreverent and eye-opening four-part master plan to help readers shift their mindset and enjoy the massive health benefits and pure pleasures of a plant-based lifestyle. Lewis demystifies going vegan and makes it realistic—even if you’re intimidated by a whole avocado (Lewis once was, too)—with rock-solid advice on stocking a pantry, getting your nutrients, building strength, shedding excess weight, and ultimately creating sustainable change for a lifetime of health. Complete with 75 recipes for delicious food that’ll keep you motivated, from Jack U Up Street Tacos to Cucumber Watermelon Smoothies and Kimchi Nori Maki Rolls, Badass Vegan is a timely and profoundly needed manifesto for living a life with a lower risk for disease and making a positive impact on the world.


* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF containing vegan recipes, charts, and facts.

A fantastic read for both aspiring and seasoned vegans (and everything in-between)!

I just finished listening, and I have to say, it's brilliant! The book is well-thought-out, expertly crafted, and exceptionally written. I loved how it balanced solid empirical data with witty humor, including those clever double entendres that reveal the author’s personality. At times, it felt like I was in church, nodding in agreement and even finishing a few sentences. Despite being a vegan for almost ten years, I’ve gained far more knowledge than I expected. I’m excited to start my floor one journey tomorrow, perfectly timed with the new month!
