Hello smoothie lovers! I finally caved and got a coconut bowl. It’s so cute and small, and it keeps my #nicecreams frozen! No one told me how flimsy it was. I’m guessing It isn’t dishwasher safe.
Today’s breakfast was a little bowl of raspberry nice cream topped with more raspberries, bloobs, coconut shavings and a vegan wafer straw! Keeping things nice and fresh in this hot socal weather.
Fairly simple recipe today! 2 frozen banana 1 cup of raspberries 1 tbsp of vanilla soy yogurt A cup of ice A splash of almond milk
Blend and enjoy! If we’re not connected on IG, let’s get connected! @missmasonjar
OK so for the next month I am going to attempt to be zero waste and I am posting this here so I actually feel accountable There are actually so many packaged goods at the supermarket that can be made at home for a quarter of the price (talk about that student life) and without all the unnecessary packing and weird numbers in the ingredients list. Like granola holy heck there is no way I am paying $16 for a packet This is currently my favourite INGREDIENTS 1 ½ cups (135 g) gluten-free rolled oats ½ cup (40 g) unsweetened coconut flake (large flakes are best) ½ cup (54 g) slivered raw almonds (or raw almonds, chopped) ½ cup (50 g) raw pecan halves 1 Tbsp (12 g) sugar ¼ tsp sea salt 3 Tbsp (45 ml) coconut oil 1/3 cup (80 ml) maple syrup 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Mix in a large bowl and bake for 25 minutes at 160C. They key is to leave it to cool for a good 10 minutes before transferring to a container so it can get super chunky And yes that is a turmeric latte what am I turning into
Cardamon infused black rice breakfast pudding because I was really feeling myself this morning I used: ¾ cup black rice ½ tsp + ½ tsp cardamom 1 ½ cup boiling water ½ cup rice milk 3 tbsp sweetener ½ cup blueberries
Place rice in a pot, add ½ tsp of cardamom (or two cardamom pods) and pour boiling water over it. Leave it like this for a night.
In the morning add ½ cup rice milk, sweetener, and more cardamom, cover and bring to boil over a medium heat. Uncover, decrease the heat and simmer for about 7 minutes, stirring from time to time, you want it to be tender. Then add blueberries and cook for one more minute and there you go you have a stylish breakfast my friend
Honor your cravings The only difference between these cookies and your standard run of the mill cookie is I used 2 tbsp ground chia seeds mixed with 6 tbsp water as a binding agent instead of eggs and if you want to be healthier you can substitute regular flour with oat flour (I just blend up oats in a nutribullet) . INGREDIENTS Dry Ingredients 1 ½ cups gluten free oat flour ½ cup gluten free rolled oats ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or any other vegetable oil) ¼ cup coconut/brown sugar ¼ cup pure maple syrup 2 chia eggs (2 tablespoons ground flax + 6 tablespoons water, whisked together, set for 15 minutes) 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add-in Ingredients 1 cup vegan chocolate chips Mix ingredients (in the order listed) in a large bowl and bake at 175 C for 8-12 minutes :)
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?
Back to uni and saying goodbye to summer Not complaining though at least I can use the cold weather as an excuse to drink more hot chocolate plus I’m a low key nerd This hot chocolate was made with cacao powder, coconut milk, whipped coconut cream and a dash of maple syrup (which I should really stop buying )
Beetroot and carrot soup Just cook 1 onion, 2 carrots and 3 celery stalks (all chopped) in some olive oil, add 4 chopped beetroots, 500g chopped potatoes, 1 bouquet garni, 4 cups vegetable stock and 1 cup cold water and bring to the boil. Simmer, partially covered for 1 hour until the beetroot is tenderserved mine with roasted chickpeas, chives, and coconut cream and this cost me less than $1 per serving yay
Nutella and banana toast, vegan, refined sugar-free and pretty healthy You can find this recipe (and a whole lot of my other recipes) at https://www.wholesomeculture.com/blogs/news
Never judge a smoothie by its colour, this lil bowl of gloop was very delicious indeed Made with frozen bananas, oat milk, frozen berries, kiwi and spirulina and topped with granola, peanut butter and more kiwi
So sad I couldn’t get a shot of this before it melted in the 30 degree heat Raw salted caramel slice (apparently the caramel has a real low melting point) Base: ¾ cup pecans, 1 ½ tbsp coconut flour, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 2/3 cup dates (softened) Chocolate layer:½ cup vegetable oil, ¾ cup cocoa powder, 1/3 cup sweetener of choice, ¾ cup nut butter (tahini/almond), 1 tsp vanilla extract, pinch of salt Caramel layer: 1 cup dates, ¼ cup nut butter, ¼ cup sweetener of choice(maple, rice malt), salt, ¼ cup coconut condensed milk
Coconut turmeric oatmeal :) I used ½ cup oats, ¼ tsp ground turmeric, 1/8th tsp cinnamon, 1 cup coconut milk, 1 tsp maple syrup a pinch of salt and ¼ tsp vanilla extract and topped with nectarines, blueberry compote, desiccated coconut and pumpkin seeds
Hey so I thought I’d share a really easy vegan recipe that I use for serving at parties, or to just have as a “cheat meal” at home!
This recipe is great, and really simple to master and use as a meat substitute. Jackfruit is high in nutrients and fiber, and can be found in most of your local Asian food markets!
Shredded jackfruit barbecue sandwiches!
So this took me approximately 30 minutes to make (including prep time) by pan, but using a slow cooker is also an option!
Ingredients you will need:
1 pound of jackfruit (preferably frozen)
½ of a white onion
Barbecue sauce of your choosing
2 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
Pinch of salt & pepper
Directions:
The first thing you’re going to want to do is defrost your jackfruit, which you can do by leaving it in a bowl in your refrigerator overnight, or running it underneath cold water for some time (heat can turn it into mush)
Chop your onion into small chunks, same with your garlic!
Place in strainer and de-seed jackfruit, and then squish out all the water with your hands until it is as dry as you can possibly get it ! (Also note that if you cannot remove all the seeds, that is okay!)
Convert to bowl, and shred with a fork (similar to how you would shred pork) and sprinkle in your brown sugar, salt, and pepper! (This helps your jackfruit retain more flavor later on!)
Taking a large cooking pan, set it to medium heat, and add about ½ a tablespoon of vegetable oil (you can also use coconut oil or olive oil if you like.)
Add the onion and garlic mixture, and stir around occasionally for a minute until some you see some color, and then add in your jackfruit!
Cook your jackfruit on a medium heat (stirring occasionally) for about five minutes until you see it starting to brown at the edges.
Once browned slightly, reduce your heat to low, and add in your barbecue sauce with equal parts water, and stir around (I start with half a cup of bbq sauce and half a cup of water, but you can always add more later!!)
Cook on low for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, and then remove from heat and serve!
