Beautiful photos and really nutritious recipes. Definitely for people who already live a healthy lifestyle or would like to

It was a bit too healthy for my liking and I don't keep a lot of the ingredients in my cupboard so would be expensive to buy.

I love this cookbook! It not only has great pictures and easy to make healthy recipes, but also when to prepare the dish. I am usually a last minute cooker so these recipes work perfect for my schedule! I also like that each recipe does not call for too many ingredients. I can't wait to make more dishes!

A collection of prep-in-advance recipes for healthy on-the-go type foods like granola bars, smoothies, etc. Some sound delicious, but others....eh....

A great collection of energy filled foods that can be made fast and keep you going. Simple yet delicious recipes that aren't going to empty your wallet. Healthy recipes that will inspire you to try new things or if you're not feeling great there are still some recipes aimed at comfort food levels.

I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I found Rens Kroes' new cookbook "Power Food On the Go" fun, helpful, and full of healthy options for quick meals. She has listed some basic information about kitchen equipment, healthy ingredients to stock up on, storage containers and has recipes for breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks. Each meal is labeled with a time schedule for how long the preparations take; these include "Sunday prep" for the more time consuming options, "day before" and "last minute". Rens has also listed how long each times can keep, supplies and helpful tips. The recipes are easy to follow and add interesting variety to a healthy lifestyle. I found a number of items I can not wait to try including her "Salty Snack" a sweet potato and walnut ball or her homemade pecan butter. The photos are fun and are Instagram ready. The cookbook is geared toward a younger audience and great for anyone looking for healthy options to take with them.

Beautiful cookbook with great ideas and recipes and nice pictures.

I really like how this book gives you the options of making it right now, the night before or even generally preparing it a little while ahead. I think that is a wonderful way to structure this type of book because really everyone can use this book in some way.

It is however a really healthy book- i personally love that about it- but there are also people i personally know that would not find that many recipes in this book that they would love to try simply because of the overly healthiness of the recipes.
And while i understand that it is Power Food on the go, i also think that it would have been nice to include a few recipes that are still Power Food but also a bit less extremely healthy so that it actually caters to a few more people.

Still its a great book and has wonderful ideas!

The recipes are pretty basic and many can be made the night before.and the majority of the meals are very healthy. This is probably a perfect gift/book for a teenager who is starting to explore healthy cooking on their own.

I really like this book. The recipes are very accessible and easy to make.
I love the way it is separated into sections of timings for making; night before or quick fixes for example.
It is very likely that I will be making up quite a few of these recipes. A great addition for those looking for new ideas for superfoods and powerfoods.

This collection of recipes focuses on foods that provide lots of energy and are easy to eat on the go. I found a few interesting recipes (mini-frittatas, chocolate banana bread), but also found that many of the recipes included ingredients that one might not find in the pantry. True health-food addicts might find this a useful book, but I couldn't really see myself adapting to it very easily. The photography in the book, however, does make one's mouth water!

The recipes are a little complicated but would be great to make up on a Sunday and have ready to grab throughout the week. Might have missed in the description but should be highlighted that it is geared towards vegetarians.

Satiating, nutritious and vibrant food that will make you feel good when you have places to go and people to see. A stunning cookbook that is an invitation to not only greater health but a thorough enjoyment of making and tasting exceptional ingredients in these engaging recipes.

I was a little disappointed because I don't consider food on the go the meal I have to prepare the day before, I thought there were going to be recipes in this book, that I can prepare like 10 minutes before going away, There are some, but few, mostly you need a little bit of planning and preparation, but they look delicious and good enough to make it worthy. I specially appreciate the vegetarian/non vegetarian version, and the pictures were really beautiful.

Sono rimasta un pochino delusa perché mi aspettavo piatti che potevo preparare una decina di minuti prima di uscire, invece la maggior parte sono da preparare il giorno prima e quindi necessitano anche un accurata pianificazione, però alcune brevi ricette al volo ci sono. Ho apprezzato particolarmente la possibilitá di avere la maggior parte dei piatti nella loro versione vegetariana/non vegetariana.e le foto sono veramente belle.

THANKS TO NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!
