'But what do you eat?' (Part 2)

Colourful, tasty, healthy and animal-free examples from a vegan food day (to answer your questions and hopefully inspire!) ...




Making up a superfood breakfast bowl starting with flax/oat/coconut/blueberries...

I use nut milks for breakfast but recently I used a new coconut milk and it was sooo tasty!













A new smoothie for the collection... made simply from coconut water, banana and dates.

Teamed with avocado/houmous/clean peanut butter on rice cakes/rye bread makes a simple but nutritious lunch.






Delicious dinner!

This is a vegan pizza from Zizzi's.

YUM.

Dairy-free dessert

Filling the 'Bounty' void in my life....

Making 'Raw vegan Bountys'


I LOVED Bounty bars before I became a vegan. So easy, vegan, healthy versions? YES PLEASE. I came across these on Instagram and the recipe/method is on: laradelilah.wordpress.com






For mine I used:

Inside:
1 cup desiccated coconut
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tbsp maple syrup

 Which you blend using a food processor, coconut first.





 


Outside:
3 tbsp coconut oil
2 1/2 tbsps cacao powder
1 tbsp maple syrup

 Which you mix while briefly freezing the coconut mixture.






I was munching on them straight away but I think they actually taste the best after 30mins/an hour in the fridge when the chocolate coating is firm and crackable :D. (I also recommend not eating four in one go...)




They tasted like, well Bountys :) seriously delicious, much healthier and without any animal products.Win.
