Pink Banana Oat Pancakes with Maple Cacao Drizzle

February 13, 2023 By julia

Que the Jack Johnson and bring on Sunday morning! ….And with Valentine’s Day in our midst, then you’re in luck, because we’re flauntin’ the pink today with these banana oat pancakes!

These pancakes are so simple, it’s stupid.

Too easy not to make and packed with whole-food ingredients.

Here for it!

Top it off with a cacao maple drizzle, serve it to your Valentine, and be ready for a proposal.

It’s all about tha base bout’ tha base (que song here).

I’m talking about just 3 ingredients: ripe bananas + oat flour + plant milk.

Vanilla and cinnamon are always a must when I’m whipping up some flapjacks, so we’ll throw some of that in there, too.

Once you have that blended up, feel free to get creative.

Today, I went with beet powder + vegan chocolate chips!

Maybe tomorrow calls for antioxidant boosters, turmeric + blueberries (bonus recipe below).

The next day… Cacao powder + raisins? Maca powder + strawberries?

Whatever that creator within you comes up with, your pancake will no doubt be delicious and ready before Jack finishes off his guitar solo.

Warm Vegan Pumpkin Spice Banana Milkshake | 3 Ingredients

November 7, 2019 By julia

Sometimes all you need is something warm to put your hands around. Enter: pumpkin spice and bananas.

With just 3 ingredients and a blender, you will have this delicious pumpkin spice banana milkshake (minus the dairy) to knock your cozy socks off.

The taste?  Pumpkin pie in a cup (but, actually good for you).

Fall is definitely upon us, and this comforting bevy will be the cherry on top of your Netflix n’ chill sweatpants.

Tis’ the season for pumpkin everything. Let’s make the most of it.

Benefits:

Bananas should be enjoyed be in their ripe form (with spots). They’re amazing for digestion, high in potassium and rich in fibre.

Pumpkin Pie Spice gives us that spicey cinnamon and ginger, both bringing us great benefits. Ginger is a well-known immune-booster, and cinnamon? The king of lowering those blood-sugar levels.

Vanilla (the pure extract) is anti-inflammatory, helping you fight disease, and allowing your body to thrive.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl

September 27, 2019 By julia

It’s that time of the year. Bring out the pumpkin everything. Especially this drool-worthy pumpkin pie smoothie bowl.

Why is that word so comforting?

… pumpkin…ahhhhhh, Yes.

Fall, I see you. This pumpkin pie smoothie bowl hits that comfy spot, with some extra surprise nutrition.

Not only will you devour each n’ every spoonful of this deliciousness (and lick the bowl), but you’ll also reap the benefits of a couple secret ingredients. I’m talking about Pranin’s Iron and Vitamin C powders sourced straight from whole foods.

Why take Iron and Vitamin C together? Vitamin C enhances the absorption of the iron in your GI tract.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl

The beauty of using these whole food supplement powders is that you’re getting the good stuff from whole food sources! The vitamin C and Iron comes from a blend of organic curry leaves, amla berries and moringa leaves. Boom.

Blend this up for yourself and reap the benefits of vitamins + minerals not only from the extra whole food supplements, but also the pumpkin purée, dates, and bananas. Serious YUM in ma tum.

December 20, 2018 By julia

It’s almost 2019!

Which means, second to the top vegan recipes of 2018… you may be looking back on the ebbs and flows of the last year…your successes, your learning experiences, your highlights, your epiphanies… Life is full of change and it is truly a game if you learn to accept that.

The green ones are must-tries…

The Green Moustache

  • Vegan Caeser Salad (add tempeh!)
  • Vegan Poke Bowl !!! With the sought after Ahimi poké from Ocean Hugger Foods (made from tomato!)

Mongolie Grill

A fun place to go with a group. It’s super interactive while you go up to make your own mega-stirfry bowl, and watch the chefs whip it up right in front of you. If you’re not into eating off the same surface that meat was just cooked on, this may not be the place for you. But, it’s a fun way to get in a ton of veg!

What to order:

  • Load up your bowl with every veggie, douse on some of their vegan sauce options, and enjoy with the rice or rice paper wraps they bring to your table!

RimRock Cafe

(dinner) ~ Creekside

A rustic, fine dining experience. One of Whistler’s original restaurants, nestled in the woods of Whistler Mountain. This place isn’t known for their vegan food (they’re more about the seafood and meat dishes), but they have some great vegan options – especially if you know what to ask for! The ambiance in here is so lovely, and perfect for a special occasion.

What to order:

  • Mushroom Salad with sesame vinaigrette and crispy onions (SO good)
  • Grilled Vegetable Mushroom Risotto
  • Vegan Chickpea Curry with Cauliflower Steak (ask for this – not be on the main menu!)

Olives Community Market 

(grocery, breakfast, lunch) ~ Function Junction

A cute, organic grocery store packed with vegan goodies, grab & go lunches, a salad bar, and smoothies.

What to order:

  • See what’s in the fridge for lunch, and what the soup of the day is! Most likely it’s vegan, nutritious and delicious.
  • Their desserts, smoothies, lattés, and a big salad from the salad bar

If you want to eat in, Whistler Dine In delivers most of these delicious meals!

- Pasta noodles of choice (around 450g)
- 1 large head of broccoli florets, chopped (save stalks for your next hummus plate as dippers!)
- 1 package vegan sausage (I used Field Roast from @spuddelivers. You can always use code: 'CRVAN-MURJUB for 20$ off your first order)
- Smokey Vegan Parmesan (google 'hooked on plants parm')
⠀
Carrot Potato Cheese Sauce:
⠀
- 3 russet potatoes, chopped
- 4 large carrots, chopped
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ¼ cup miso paste
- ⅛ cup dijon
- ¾ cup nutritional yeast
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- ¾ cup plain soy milk
- pinch of salt and pepper
*If you're me, you'd add these things to everything: 3 tbsp @Complement unflavoured protein + 1 tbsp @staywyldorganics Daily Defend mushroom blend. 
Discount code: 'Hookedonplants' (links in bio)
⠀
DIRECTIONS: 
⠀
1) Steam potatoes and carrots for 10-15 minutes (until you can poke a fork through them)
2) Add all the sauce ingredients to your blender, including the carrots and potatoes
3) Bring your pasta pot to a boil.
4) Place broccoli in the steamer (add more water if needed), and steam for 5 minutes.
5) Blend sauce ingredients until smooth.
6) Cook pasta of choice 1 minute less than what directions say.
7) Meanwhile, heat a pan to medium, add 1 tsp of oil (avocado is best), then the vegan sausage. Cook for 5 minutes, flipping around every minute or so.
8) Strain pasta, then add back into the pot with the broccoli and sausage.
9) Add sauce to the pot and mix until each pasta noodle is super creamy delicious!
10) Sprinkle my vegan parm on top!
