‘Avo Nice Day Mousse | Easy Raw Vegan Summer Dessert

August 1, 2019 By julia

For those times when simplicity sounds like perfection.

This avocado mousse lays down a huge tick in the simple check box.

With just a few ingredients, a food processor, and a bowl, you’ll have yourself a dessert to impress!

This is always a go-to when I have people over, and I completely forgot about the dessert part. I mean, I love dessert, but this happens.

Just grab yourself some ripe avos, throw a couple raw flava flaves in there, and you’re back on your game!

Avo mousse is another example of the ease and possibility of achieving that creaminess without that dairy. Win.

It would be cute to serve it up in individual little mason jars, with berries on top! If you do that, take a picture and tag me on instagram so I can see your creativity (please:)).

These clusters just happen to be PACKED with antioxidants too (hello blueberries and chocolate), and by the way vegan chocolate means no dairy, no problem.

On that note, if you’re looking for an all-in-one resource for going dairy free, why it should be done, and the science behind it, check out Dotsie Bausch’s @switch4good !

Raw Chewy Hemp Date 2-Bite Brownies | Vegan Adventure Snack

June 14, 2019 By julia

The ridiculously easy and supremely mouth watering answer to your snack attack. Take these date 2-bite brownies on every adventure or camping trip you go on this summer. Make a big batch because they go quick.

Dates are the perfect thing to bring on your hiking mission. They’re packed with minerals, vitamins, energy and fiber. They taste amazing. They’re crazy versitile. They pack into your adventure bag like no thang.

I’m a fan of packing straight up dates for mountain bike missions, camping weekends, or even travel days. But, adding extra goodness to the dates and blending it all together… that’s next level, and not too much effort either.

You could totally make these into balls, but sometimes it’s nice to be lazy by just pressing them down into a pan and making the knife do the hard work.

ONWARD to the recipe.

Tag @hookedonplants on instagram if you make these, and let me know what adventure they’re going on with you.

Vanilla Date Almond Milk | Milk Yer Nuts

May 30, 2019 By julia

Keeping it simple this week with a go-to recipe around here. Vanilla Almond Milk for your next latté, overnight oat soak, or just for that plain ol’ comforting glass of milk with your Peanut Butter Quinoa cookies, or Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies, or these classic Black and White cookies.

Making your own milk doesn’t have to be complicated.

3 things you’ll need are:

  1. Nuts
  2. Blender
  3. Mesh (nut milk) bag.

Today we’re using almonds, and feeling a little flavourful…so we’ll add some date sweetness, cinnamon and vanilla goodness with a pinch of salt.

There’s nothing like a fresh batch of homemade plant milk.

Store bought plant milk is pretty darn good these days, but making your own gives you the advantage of knowing every fresh ingredient you put in there.

Of course, I’ve got to mention that ditching the cow’s milk is going to bring mega benefits to your body, the animal’s lives, and the environment.

Check out this video to see what Dr. Neal Barnard has to say about why humans are physically addicted to dairy and cheese. 

Benefits of Ditching the dairy:

  • Clearer skin – less inflammation and hormones
  • Less gastrointestinal issues – by decreasing any potential lactose sensitivity
  • Less fractures and healthier bones– contrary to popular belief, according to the Nurses’ Health Study dairy may increase risk of fractures by 50 percent! Plus, the countries with the lowest rates of dairy consumption (like Africa and Asia) also have the lowest rates of osteoporosis.
  • Improved digestion – that diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas and nausea could very likely be from a lactose sensitivity or intolerance (65-75% of the world’s population is lactose intolerant)
  • Weight loss – by taking out the hormones, animal proteins, lactose, and saturated fat found in the dairy products, many people find excess weight coming off easily. This is because dairy milk is naturally meant to help a calf grow into a cow (it’s a growth fluid)
  • Cancer prevention – there has been a strong link between dairy consumption and cancers because dairy consumption increases the body’s level of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a known cancer promoter that encourages tumour growth. 
  • Stronger bones – because the animal proteins in dairy are difficult for humans to digest, calcium is actually leached from the bones to help absorb with digestion. It’s better to focus on more absorbable sources
  • Better for the environment – the dairy industry has a big impact on air quality (greenhouse gas emissions), soil quality (land use, pesticides), and water quality (run offs of antibiotics, pesticides, pathogens, waste products and hormones). The plants grown to feed these cows to produce dairy could instead be eaten directly by us, saving vast amounts of resources.
  • Reduce your exposure to antibiotics and hormones – which are used regularly in the US dairy industry to reduce infection and increase production
  • Reduce the suffering of the cows – the less we demand dairy, the less it will be mass produced 🙂

Something to think about:

The majority of humans naturally stop producing large amounts of lactase (the enzyme needed to metabolize the sugar in milk, lactose) between the ages of 2 and 5. This is normal for most mammals once they have been milk been weaned, because we simply don’t need to produce the enzymes for properly digest and metabolize milk anymore. Our bodies just aren’t made to digest milk on a regular basis, especially as adults (we are the only mammals who continue to drink milk after weaning, let alone the milk from another species).

Most scientists agree that it’s better for us to get calcium, potassium, protein, and fats from other food sources, like whole plant foods —, fruits, beans, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and seaweed.

“It takes nothing away from a human to be kind to an animal” – Joaquin Pheonix
