A Quick Summary: Healthy Meets Happy

Kylie Sakaida, the TikTok-famous dietitian behind Nutrition by Kylie, brings her clean, colorful, and utterly craveable recipes into print with this debut book. From high-protein breakfasts to lazy-girl dinners and everything in between, So Easy So Good proves that eating well can be both delicious and low-effort.

You won’t find rigid rules or calorie math here. Instead, Sakaida focuses on flexibility, flavor, and fun, offering meal-prep strategies and balanced recipes that encourage intuitive eating. It’s a “dietitian-approved but still eat pizza” kind of vibe that works for both meal preppers and cooking newbies.


What Makes It Stand Out?

  • Simplicity Wins: Minimal ingredients, quick prep times, and pantry-friendly hacks make this ideal for students, busy professionals, and anyone who’s had enough of complicated clean-eating trends.

  • Everyday Recipes That Actually Excite You: Think avocado toast 2.0, sweet chili tofu bowls, five-minute overnight oats, and air-fryer everything.
  • TikTok-Worthy Visuals: Just like her videos, the photography here is aesthetic yet authentic—real food for real people.
