Simple One-Pot Vegan Chili | Ready in 30

December 5, 2019 By julia

CHILI SEASON (can I get a whooooop whoop?)

I’m going to make this post short, to the point, nutritious, and delicious, just like this simple one pot vegan chili (aka dinner in 30 minutes).

All you need is a pot, some cans from the pantry, and some of your usual suspects from the veggie kingdom.

If you want to take it up to the next level, top it off with this 5 ingredient vegan sour cream or smokey vegan parm, and of course a side of rustic sour dough (our go-to is always a fresh loaf from Whistler’s vegan bakery Ed’s Bred).

This recipe makes a lot. Freeze it or just keep it in the fridge to eat it over the next week on top of quinoa, in wraps, sloppy joe style…. you name it.

Gotta love that chili versatility action.

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.

Halloween Goblin Green Dip | 4 Minutes | Protein-Packed

October 28, 2019 By julia

It’s all about dat’ dip!

…or sauce, or spread, or how ever you want to put this easy peasy goblin green dip to use.

I figured this one deserved it’s own post. It’s beautifully green, it’s super delish, and ridiculously nutrish (plus it happens to be the secret magical ingredient in the Wild Mushroom Green Lasagna last week).

Packed with protein from white cannelloni beans, kinda cheezy from the ‘nooch’ and ridiculously easy to whip up.

A great addition to the Halloween table!

This makes a big batch so you can keep it in the fridge to use on your next buddha bowl, tempeh burrito, or grilled cheeze sammy!

The Wild Mushroom Green Vegan Lasagna with 2 Multi-Purpose Sauces

October 17, 2019 By julia

A comfort food fave, with a twist. This green vegan lasagna is so yum, and perfect for these fall feels.

Make a big batch, or a few dishes worth to freeze for a dinner freak out kinda day! That’s my jam. I don’t like spending hours in the kitchen prepping one day for the full week… instead, I make the most of when I actually am in the kitchen. If I’m chopping an onion, I chop 3, and put them in the fridge for a different recipe… If I’m making lasagna, I make A LOT of it so leftovers can flow like an awesome mountain bike trail that just keeps on giving.

Are you the same? Well, here’s a recipe to go bulk on.

The Green Vegan Lasagna

Plus, you’ll make 2 sauces for this recipe that can be used for what ever else you want to use them for (hint hint, double them up)! I’m thinking green sauce for a dip, and cashew cheese sauce for pasta or your next sandwich making party.

Other sweet addition tips? If you want it to be even cheesier than what the cashew cheese will provide…. Top it off with a vegan cheese like Gusta (shredded up), Black Sheep Vegan Cheeze ‘vouda’ or ‘vozzerella’, Daiya Mozz, Miyokos Mozz… Drool. You can find these online at vegansupply.ca or veganessentials.com or spud.ca (use code CRVAN-MURJUB for 20$ off your first Spud order).

Ingredients

  • 1 box lasagna noodles (Gluten-Free if needed)

  • 1 sweet or yellow onion, diced

  • 2 cups chopped wild mushrooms (used chanterelles, oyster mushrooms and portobello)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp Italian seasoning

  • 1 jar tomato pasta sauce (24 ounces)

  • Green Sauce
  • 2 cans white beans (strained)

  • 1 cup nutritional yeast

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 tbsp onion powder

  • 3 cups spinach

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp balsamic reduction or maple syrup

  • 1 to 2 cups Pre-cooked green or brown lentils

  • Cashew Cheese Sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups soaked (and strained) cashews (soak cashews overnight or a quick soak in hot water for 10 minutes)

  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened + unflavoured plant milk

Directions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F
  • Sauté the onions, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, and garlic with a bit of water if it’s sticking.
  • Cook noodles according to directions (some lasagna noodles don’t need to be pre-boiled). Bring a pot of water to a boil, add noodles and salt, let cook for the time told, strain and run cold water over them.
  • Make the Green Sauce: Add all the green sauce ingredients except for the lentils to your blender and whiz it up until smoooooooth. (you can use this sauce as a dip, pasta sauce or a spread for your wraps)… Then stir in the lentils.
  • Make the Cheese Sauce: Add all cheese sauce ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth (this sauce too makes a great dip, sandwich sauce, or pasta sauce!)
  • Layer it up! Start with tomato sauce on the bottom of your baking dish (around 13 x 9-inches), then a layer of noodles, then green sauce, cheese sauce, onion + wild mushroom saute, tomato sauce, and repeat. Finish it off with noodles, then cheese sauce on top!
  • Cover with tin foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes
  • Let sit for 10, and serve with fresh basil

Notes

  • Prep time doesn’t include cooking the lentils (about 40 minutes) or soaking the cashews (overnight or for 10 minutes in hot water).
  • Keep in the fridge for a week, or freeze for a few months

Vegan Mashed Cauliflower Potatoes | Oil-Free

October 10, 2019 By julia

Canadian Thanksgiving is juuuuust around the corner, and since there is no Thanksgiving without these basic vegan mashed potatoes, you better go grab some real nice spuds and mash em’ up!

Take these taters to the next level with easy coconut bacon bitties (recipe also below), or douse it in this mushroom gravy (see ya later turkey fat).

In the midst of the season of gratitude… here are a few things I’m thankful for right now:

  1. You guys. I love seeing you rock these recipes and connect with me on instagram
  2. The Game Changers Movie being out, inspiring so many people to eat plants and kill it as an athlete
  3. People like Greta, Billie, DJ Tiger Lily, James Wilks and Ellen getting the vegan word out
  4. Mic the Vegan & Plant Proof for de-bunking myths and questionable studies out there
  5. This list could go on… but I’ll stop there and squeeze in my dog, of course.

What are you grateful for?

Hopefully for this recipe…and for the ones that go with it like Stuffed Tofu Turkey, Maple Dijon Pecan Hasselback Butternut Squash, Mashed Potato Butternut Swirl, Spinach Artichoke White Bean Dip, or Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Curry Sauce…

Enjoy!

🌱 SKIN LOVING TIPS ⤵️ From a simple is bet 🌱 SKIN LOVING TIPS ⤵️ 
From a simple is better, 30 somethin’, long routine avoiding kinda gal…who wants to support elastin & boost collagen 🤷‍♀️ 

I’ve had an interesting relationship with my skin, especially in high school. 
Did so much to try to manage it…accutane…birth control pills.👎🏼

The biggest skin game-changer for me was going vegan 7 years ago & ditched the dairy especially. 
My skin was NOTICEABLY less inflamed (no more hormones coming from my food). 

I’m not ‘use a million products’ kinda gal, but now at 34, I guess it’s time to start giving a little extra attention to the skin care regime 😆 

🌱 Lifestyle tips + products I’m loving right meow 🌱

#1: nutrition: eat whole plant foods packed with fibre & water content. Minimize the processed foods & sugar. Focus on plant protein from legumes, organic soy, seeds (add a little @Complement Chocolate Protein to your lattes)

#2: support your gut: focus on 🌱 diversity, fermented foods, and add pre-biotics and postbiotics to your life (love @Complement Gut Nurture)

#3: greens: pack your smoothie with as much as possible, top everything with sprouts, add a greens powder to your life (most potent: @complement Daily Greens)

#4: antioxidants! From plants, especially berries. Amp it up with functional mushrooms (hello, @staywyldorganics)

#5: nutrient support: take these 8 skin & hair-supporting essentials (B12, vegan D3, K2, zinc, selenium, magnesium, DHA/EPA omegas, iodine…all in @complement’s daily vegan minty multi) 

#6: creams & things:
I’m a new, huge fan of @puritywoodsinc Dream, Eye,Night Creams, and Elastin Serum. 
Created by vegans at the @art_ofantiaging. 
They use Maple Leaf and other amazing organic plant organic ingredients specifically for skin elasticity and collagen production support. 
And, oh my lawwwrd it smells so fresh & citrusy 👌 My skin is feeling noticeably smoother after a month of this!
Also: algae face mask… slap the ocean on the face with @beauty.botanics made by local, Ahnnabelle 💕

#7: stress less & sweat more: every day

3 steps to evolving as a human ⬇️ 1) Listen f 3 steps to evolving as a human ⬇️

1) Listen for that voice inside your head…
2) When it says ‘I don’t think I can do that’ or
‘That freaks me out’ or
‘I’m not (strong/smart/confident) enough to make that happen’ …
That’s your sign to move closer, to jump right in & embrace whatever it is that’s scaring you.
3) Do the thing

Surprise yourself with what you’re actually capable of. 

This is just one of many slices of golden quotes from an interview with my incredible Grandma, Joyce. 

‘Constant learning about one self, constant. 
If only I had only known I could do that, if only I had the confidence, I might have made a few difference choices … we really don’t know until it happens. 
You can surprise yourself. 
You can find abilities you didn’t know you had.‘

Joyce 💕 what a gem. 

Working towards this every day, just a little.
