I don’t know if this is the case for where you live but free yogurts are hella overpriced in NZ so I made my own soy yogurt using….silken tofu. Now I’m a firm tofu kinda gal (the texture of silken tofu kind of freaks me out) but it actually forms a really good high protein dairy free yogurt
I used ½ packet silken tofu, ½ frozen banana, 2 tbsp coconut milk, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp maple syrup and a handful of frozen strawberries and topped with tahini, a little bit of leftover coconut yogurt and lil’ bliss balls for all the fatssss
Also I changed my name!! Do you prefer @veganzoejessica?

Garlicky Parmesan & Rosemary Roasted Chickpeas
Ingredients
- 2 (14.5 Oz.) Cans Chickpeas/Garbanzo Beans, Drained, Rinsed & Dried
- 2 Tbsp. Shredded Dry Parmesan
- 1 Tsp. Dried Crushed Rosemary
- 1 Garlic Clove, Minced
- 1/8 Tsp. Garlic Powder
- Salt & Pepper to Taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with foil. Give the foil a light spritz of some non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Toss the chickpeas and the rest of the ingredients together in a large bowl until they are all well and evenly coated.
- Arrange the garbanzo beans onto the baking sheet in a single layer and give them a little spritz of non-stick cooking spray.
- The spray will help them to get a little more crispy but isn’t entirely needed!
- Place the sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the chickpeas are crisp.
- Carefully remove the sheet from the oven and set aside to cook slightly before serving.
