Munchie Madness: Vegetarian Meals for Teens is an informative resource book for teenagers who want to live compassionate, healthy lifestyles. Teenagers will relate to the main part of the book as it contains tasty, nutritious recipes that are easily prepared. Most of the recipes are vegan, and each lists the number of servings that the recipe makes, as well as the calories, protein, fat and carbohydrate content per serving. Recipes are divided into the following sections: "Smoothies & Shakes," "Breakfast," "Salads, Dressings, Spreads, & Dips," "Soups," "Main Dishes," and "Cakes, Pies, Candies, & Pudding."

Laura Holzapfel offers an insightful message at the beginning of the book in "Notes from a Vegetarian Teen." Suzanne Havala, who is a vegetarian, author,and consultant on food and nutrition, provides important information for teenagers (and their parents) in "Vegetarian Nutrition: A Primer for Teens." Havala effectively covers such topics as protein, calcium, iron, vitamin C, vitamin B12, and fats - to name a few. Whether you are a vegetarian teenager looking for some delicious, easy-to-make recipes, a parent wanting nutritious meals for your vegetarian child, or you are just looking for a good recipe book, Munchie Madness will not disappoint.
