The base for this 6-ingredient cheese is either soaked cashews or slivered almonds! That’s right – two ways. It’s magic. Once soaked, the cashews are blended until creamy and smooth with delicious things like fresh garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and sea salt. Mmm, it’s already looking tasty. Next come the probiotics! You’ll add these in after blending and stir until combined. Just as with our 2-Ingredient Coconut Yogurt, probiotics combined with liquids (or cheese in this instance) culture when left at room temperature....

❤️ About This Quinoa Khichdi Recipe Traditional khichdi is made with a combination of rice and lentils. And I love my old, comfy khichdi but sometimes I look for lower carb and high protein version of the same. Hence this recipe. Here rice is entirely substituted with quinoa. FYI, quinoa has far fewer calories and carbohydrates than white rice. Also, quinoa has twice the protein than the same amount of white rice....

I know. It’s a baking blog. But I’m on a mission to prove that eating healthy can be fun, taste delicious, and be disguised as indulgent. For instance, this 30-minute, 10-ish ingredient granola! This recipe packs a serious punch in the way of healthy fats, omega 3s and protein from plenty of nuts and seeds. And it’s naturally sweetened with coconut sugar (a first for me!) and maple syrup. Coconut oil helps it crisp up without influencing the flavor....

Let us show you how it’s done! How to Make Snickers Energy Bites These tasty treats have four essential elements: chocolate, “nougat,” “caramel,” and peanuts. It’s…VERY exciting! First, the nougat: Cashew butter and maple syrup combine with vanilla and salt for a creamy, flavorful base, while coconut flour adds structure. Next, dates throw a party in the food processor with vanilla and sea salt!...

❤️About This Sweet Potato Sabzi There are no spice powders used in making this sweet potato sabzi and still it tastes too good. Trust me, you’ll have to give it a try. All the ingredients used in this sabji are suitable for Hindu fasting (vrat). So you can surely enjoy this during Navratri, Ekadashi or any other upvas. It has a balanced flavor of sweetness (from sweet potatoes), tanginess (from the lime juice) and spicy (from green chilies) with nutty taste (from peanuts, sesame and coconut)....

❤️ About This Til Modak Recipe This is a quick recipe (ready in 25 minutes) compared to usually steamed modak (takes an hour or more). I know you must be busy in decoration, prepping for pooja and making other Ganesh Chaturthi recipes for the bhog. That time his kind of quick recipe comes to handy. It is on the healthier side because the jaggery is used (which is not refined sugar)....

I have already shared the detailed post on preparing the veg kofta. These are on their own too good as a starter or appetizer along with chutney. Or go one step further and dunk them into the gravy, make mixed vegetable kofta curry and serve as a main course. Just like other restaurant style gravy dishes, this one is also rich and indulging. This should be made on special occasions or festivals or for guests or parties....

Because, ‘Merica. But, since dropping dairy I haven’t had been able to enjoy this creamy, dreamy treat for close to a year! And that’s a travesty, because in my books it isn’t summer until a frosty banana cream pie blizzard has crossed my lips. Lucky for me, there are workarounds. And it starts with this 1-ingredient banana powder. I had the idea to grind banana chips into a banana powder after watching the teenagers at Dairy Queen scoop a mysterious yellow powder into my blizzard....

I truly do love bananas. I eat one nearly every day. So it’s no surprise that my favorite pie is banana cream. But, since I’ve cut out mostly all dairy from my diet I haven’t attempted to make or even take a bite of a banana cream pie in years (*cue: tears). Friends, I was due. This banana cream pie requires just 10 ingredients including the crust! Dates + walnuts = crust Filling = cashews, coconut milk, coconut oil, banana, vanilla, agave nectar, lemon juice, salt I was once skeptical of cashew-based desserts, but ever since trying these 7 Ingredient Vegan Cheesecakes my mind has been forever changed....

Yes, it’s true. Yesterday was my 27th birthday and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than with ice cream – my all-time favorite food group. Don’t worry. I haven’t sold my soul to the egg and dairy devils just yet. I’ve kept this recipe vegan and as simple as possible. That way, I can indulge with half the guilt and share it with all of you. Best community birthday present ever....

You may remember my recipe for gluten free banana bread with butternut squash. It’s one of my favorites of all time. Yes, all time. But I couldn’t help but strip it down to the absolute essentials and take it back to classic banana bread land. Friends, behold: 1-Bowl Gluten-Free Banana Bread. The ingredients for this scrumptious, hearty bread begin with three overripe bananas. Then come essentials you likely already have on hand, such as eggs (or chia/flax eggs), vanilla and coconut oil....

When John and I were living in Portland, we discovered the absolute best coffee shop in town. Yes, there are plenty: West coasters take their coffee seriously. But we found the absolute best. Its name is Heart. Nestled in a little strip on Burnside sits the quaint little black and white shop with huge window fronts, a giant exposed roaster in the center of the store, newspapers strewn about in messy stacks, a staff of blasé hipsters, and the best lattes in the world....

Juicing is basically a quick way to get loads of nutrients into your body at once. Hooray for health! The catch, though, is that the juicing mechanisms themselves can be super pricey and take up a lot of room in your kitchen. Because we try to keep our kitchen equipment to a minimum, both for space and cost purposes, I don’t see us investing in a juicer any time soon....

Let’s matcha! What is Matcha? Matcha is a powdered green tea containing 137 times more antioxidants than brewed green tea (like, whoa). Both come from the tea plant (camellia sinensis), but with matcha, the entire leaf is consumed. It has traditionally been consumed as part of Japanese tea ceremonies for centuries, but has become more widely known and popular in recent years and is now enjoyed around the world in tea lattes, smoothies, desserts, snacks, and more!...

Bhature (plural for bhatura) is paired with chole (chickpea curry) and it is called a traditional dish chole bhature. What Is Bhatura & How It’s Made? Bhatura is a deep-fried North Indian bread that is made from leavened dough. The leavening agent in the dough can be yeast, baking soda, or Eno fruit salt. Today I am sharing the bhatura recipe with yeast. This is how it is traditionally made....

Cooking them at medium heat or higher in a little oil or (vegan) butter to encourage browning. Covering the pan helps them become perfectly tender.

❤️ About This Chana Aloo Recipe In India, aloo chole is usually served as a breakfast with poori or bhatura with a side of mango pickle. Apart from serving chana aloo as breakfast, it makes a filling and comforting meal when served with a simple bowl of rice or any Indian flatbread.

Just like chole recipe, this aloo chole has typical Punjabi gravy which is made from onion, tomato and few spices....
