This new collection of recipes takes salads to a new level, offering a fresh, exciting approach to incorporating more plant-based goodness into daily life.

Building on the success of her first cookbook, and New York Times Bestseller, HealthyGirl Kitchen: 100+ Plant-Based Recipes to Live Your Healthiest Life, Brown’s latest work offers a deeper dive into the world of  her extremely viral HealthyGirl salad series—showcasing a variety of vibrant, flavor-packed dishes that are not only delicious but also transformative for your well-being. The book features 75 salad recipes and 25+ dressing recipes that are perfect for any meal of the day, from light lunches to hearty, filling dinner options.

“Many people have asked me whether my salad recipes are actually life-changing. They truly are,” says Danielle Brown. “Not only do they support your digestion, heart health, hormone health and energy but they will change your perspective on what a salad can be. A salad doesn’t need meat or cheese to be satiating, filling or delicious. This is going to be a cookbook that lives permanently on your kitchen counter.”

With her signature approach to plant-based, accessible cooking, Brown focuses on creating salads that are not only nutrient-dense but also practical for everyday life. Each recipe is designed to be simple to prepare, packed with whole foods, and perfect for busy people looking to make a positive change in their eating habits. The cookbook features a variety of creative combinations,  with recipes covering everything from chopped salads, quinoa salads, orzo salads, seasonal salads, pasta salads, fruit salads, and more.

Danielle’s longtime manager, Christina Brennan, President of RENEGADE TALENT MGMT, a division of CelebExperts, says, “Danielle is a community first creator who listens to her audience. She is one of a kind and has become the thought leader in the plant-based space. It has been an absolute privilege to watch this second launch come to life as Life-Changing Salads is a true reflection of her creativity, passion, and dedication to making plant-based cooking both approachable and exciting. I am so excited for the HealthyGirl community to get their hands on this cookbook and to watch the HealthyGirl community grow.”

Nicole Renard (2.4 million total followers) known to many as Nicole the Nomad, That Smoothie Bowl Girl, and Season 3 Next Level Chef participant, has made it her mission to feed people around the world. Nicole the Nomad was born while she was living abroad, and started off as a travel blog featuring where she was going, what she was doing, and food she was eating. When she returned home, she became a pastry chef at her university, and everyone became obsessed with her recipes and the food she was making. Since it was evident that people were extremely engaged, Nicole began sharing these recipes on her blog and it quickly blew up. 

She felt that her recipes and travel content went hand in hand considering one of the things she loved most about traveling was experiencing the food through different cultures. Her platforms grew rapidly and people worldwide fell in love with her content. Nicole ended up going viral for her smoothie bowl recipes, and earned the nickname “that smoothie bowl girl.”

With a passion and purpose for feeding people around the world, once Nicole settled in Nashville, TN, she teamed up with E+ROSE to create a collaboration smoothie bowl intended to be a seasonal item that ended up staying on the menu. This collaboration entailed proceeds from the bowl going towards Compassion International, a nonprofit organization very close to Nicole’s heart. Compassion International’s goal is to aid in ending childhood poverty, and Nicole and her family have always loved working alongside them. She is a sponsor to two kids through the program, and through the sales of her bowl collaboration she was able to raise over thousands of dollars for the organization. When a child has a sponsor, it ensures that this child is going to get the medical attention they need, in addition to dental, education, and most importantly food. Nicole says it makes her heart so happy; it all goes back to that purpose of feeding people around the world, and she never knew something as random and simple as a smoothie bowl could do that.”

Nicole now has her first child on the way, and besides continuing to share her culinary creations, she has been extremely candid about her pregnancy. She has been emphasizing the importance of self care and listening to her body, knowing that everything she does or eats may have an impact on her child. The community she has created remains involved and engaged and continues to show massive amounts of love and support toward all she does. She has such a unique ability to inspire and connect with her audience through her love of food, travel, and now her journey into motherhood. Nicole remains committed to her mission of feeding people around the world and her passion is even larger than it has ever been.

Five-Time Olympian Dara Torres has just been named Head Swimming & Diving Coach at Boston College. Since the beginning of her career, Dara has received countless awards, numerous speaking engagements, and even published two books. There is no doubt she has made a name, reputation, and community for herself that just keeps growing. Dara is not only extremely hard working and dedicated, but she is also incredibly ambitious and is always seeking her next great accomplishment. Since finishing her olympic career, Dara has continued to swim and remains just as passionate about the sport. When the opportunity to be the Swimming & Diving Coach at Boston College came around, there was no way she could turn it down. 

Dara’s main goal is to educate others on how to be their best selves, and she aspires to teach people that age is just a number. It is never too late to reach your greatest potential, and you cannot let anything hold you back, only push you forward. Being a coach to young swimmers is a dream come true for Dara, and she cannot wait to take on this role. As excited as she is to fill this position, Blake James, the BC Athletic Director seems to be meeting her right there. James says,” “We are thrilled to welcome Dara Torres as our new head swimming & diving coach. From the moment we met with Dara, it was evident that she was exactly the fit we were looking for to begin a fresh, new chapter of Boston College swimming & diving.  Her record as a world-class competitor is historic and her ability to clearly articulate her vision as a coach and leader will allow our student-athletes to develop and excel in and out of the pool.” 

As a coach, Torres has helped coach and mentor swimmers of various ages and skill levels, while serving as an advocate in leadership roles for the sport. 

Dara says, “This is a full-circle moment for me,”. “I’ve learned from great coaches at every point in my career. This opportunity to share what I’ve learned, in and out of the pool, and pass along technique, confidence, and support as part of the Boston College Athletics Department is a dream. I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together.”

Boasting an Olympic career that spanned 24 years, Torres represented the United States as a 17-year old at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles.  It culminated with her becoming the oldest female swimmer – at 41 years of age – to compete in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.  In 2009, Torres earned a trio of major awards: the ESPY Award for Best Comeback, the Thurman Munson Award, given to New York City athletes for their achievements and humanitarian efforts, and the World Fair play Award for best sportsmanship at the Olympics. She refuses to give up, and will never back down from being the best she can be. 

To add to Dara’s accolades she was the first female athlete ever to be featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and in 2009, won the ESPY award for “Best Comeback.” She was also named one of the “Top Female Athletes of the Decade” by Sports Illustrated Magazine, and was featured on the cover of People Magazine as an exclusive piece about her 30 year journey with asthma. Her efforts are extremely notable, incredibly impressive, and very inspiring. 

Dara is so much more than a role model, teacher, and icon. The Boston College Swimming and Diving team is so lucky to have her, and we know that she is going to do amazing things for them, and keep reaching new heights for herself. We cannot wait to follow this new chapter and to see where it takes her.
