This recipe uses the same first steps as my peanut butter/tahini cookie dough protein balls, but includes baking instructions to turn them into crumbly cookies. The texture of these cookies is not like regular cookies, I have to warn you upfront. They are crumbly, but do hold their shape. Ingredients: 8 grams of coarse brown…

Easy vegan coffee chocolate mousse – healthy-ish
Is there a better dessert than chocolate mousse? Well, I might have a thing; coffee flavoured chocolate mousse! My parents used to make a coffee chocolate mousse at diner parties, but their version includes eggs and whipping cream if I am not mistaken. Since I try to eat mostly vegan, I wanted to make a…
RECIPE: VEGAN MANGO CHEESCAKE – light and airy, with passionfruit
I love baking cakes, and even though I like a rich chocolatey cake or cakes with lots of spices, I think summer asks for lighter and fruitier options. I especially love the flavour of tropical fruits like mango and passion fruits. I think they go well into a fruity and light dessert with a mousse…
VEGAN OIL-FREE APPLE PIE GRANOLA
I love granola’s, but I am quite picky. I don’t really like raisins, dates or cranberries, and I prefer my granola not too sweet. I do however like some crispiness and some nuts. I did like the Eat Natural granolas, but they tend to be made with honey (why?) and they tend to be really…
VEGAN ICE CREAM REVIEW: Oppo very almond berry
I love trying out new vegan products, especially ice cream. I have previously tried several kinds of (low calorie) ice cream, some with more success than others. I enjoyed the Alpro 360 flavours that I tried (see HERE), while the different Halo top flavours were less of a hit (especially the salted caramel flavour, see…
VEGAN LUNCH: sesame roasted broccoli with ginger rice and soy “chicken”
I love meal-prepping, can you tell? Over the last couple of weeks I have been posting some warming soups, but sometimes I want something more substantial. My sister recommended oven roasted broccoli to me, so I had to try that. Since the green asparagus were on sale in Tesco, I chugged them in as well….
RECIPE: Quick vegan pumpkin and swede soup
I hope you enjoyed my roasted tomato soup (which can be found here), which I made for a meal-prep two weeks ago. This week I am back cooking soup to meal-prep lunches for the week with another warming soup. Since it is still quite cold, I thought I would use some nice pumpkin (bottle gourd,…
REVIEW: vive vegan protein bars
I know it is not “Veganuary” anymore, but I am (mostly) vegan anyway, so when I came across this add for a new vegan protein bar, I had to try it. Vive is a brand that offers protein powders, protein bites and protein bars. Recently, they had an offer to try their three flavours of…
RECIPE: vegan slow-roasted tomato soup
I love meal prepping. Having grown up in the Netherlands and eating bread for lunch for the majority of my life, I am kind of bread-tired. That is why I love making big batches of food for the week, taking lunches into work/school every day. Since it is winter, I thought I would make a…
