Sweet Potato Toasts | Easy GF Snack

December 18, 2022 By julia

It’s toast.

But it’s potato.

But…it’s toast.

Sweet potato toasts!

When I first saw this, I thought…GENIUS.

Alllllmost as genius as when Einstein said:

“Nothing will benefit health or increase chances of survival on earth as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.”

Or this:

“Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion”

Anyways, sometimes it’s the simplest combination of action, taste and texture that creates the best experience.

Action: Toast

Taste: Savoury sweetness.

Texture: Chewy tastiness.

These little pieces of art are perfect for summer. You don’t have to touch your oven to enjoy your taters. And, if you’re like me, sweet potato is a must for every season.

Get creative with your toppings (perfect for the kidlets to join in on).

Go sweet … cover it in berries.

Go savoury … smother it with avo & nooch.

Go tangy … sprinkle it with sauerkraut.

Go spicy … sriracha!

Whatever you do….take a picture and tag me on Instagram so I can see your beautiful creations ( @hookedonplants ).

Channel your inner childhood summer camp arts & crafts hour and get crafty.

Whoever said to not play with your food…must have not enjoyed eating it. Some of the best food is the food you put the time into making pretty. You enjoy every. single. chomp.

Benefits:

Sweet Potato is the staple of some of the longest-living humans on this earth! The Okinawans base their plant-based diet around the sweet potato and their area is one of the most populated areas with centenarians around. Sweet potatoes are packed with fibre, vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and ready for your body to utilize and thrive off of. Don’t be afraid of carbs when they come in their whole, unrefined form.

The Dessert Queen’s Basic Veganized Peach Galette | Mom’s Specialty

August 30, 2019 By julia

My Mom is the dessert queen. Always has been and always will be. The only difference over the last few years is that the desserts she’s always made…the ones that have earned her the title…are now veganized. I’m talking about the dense chocolate flourless Sachertorte Cake (best birthday cake), her amazing fruit crisps, her Tarte Tatin (insanely delicious), and now this, the Peach Galette (the best way to put these seasonal peaches to use).

Thanks to Mom for veganizing old faves.

She’s been plant-based now for about 3 years. Ever since reading The China Study, and Eat to Live, she was hooked on the disease prevention, energy boosting and longevity aspects of veganism. Then she watched all the documentaries around…. Cowspiracy and Forks Over Knives, and dove into Dr. Gregor’s Nutrition Facts.org… Her main reason is the desire to live a long, healthy life as the athlete and energizer bunny she is, so we can continue to bike, ski, and now kite board (we’re both learning!) together. I’m so grateful that she and my step Dad are on the plant train.

Ok, moving on with this dessert.

First of all, I want you to know that you can easily veganize any of your fave baking.

Like this:

Grab yourself some juicy peaches and enjoy this Galette from the dessert queen herself;)

If you make these, be sure to tag @hookedonplants on instagram)!

‘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:)).

Tangy White Bean Hummus

July 11, 2019 By julia

If you like tang then this is your thang.

And, when you’re a hummus lover, you’ve just gotta switch it up sometimes. This tangy white bean hummus does just that. Step outta your hummus comfort zone and whip up this business.

Guess what makes it tangy…

PICKLE JUICE! And lemon juice, and white vinegar. Yup.

Tangy-ness maximus.

Throw some fresh dill in there, and it’s a hummus party to dance about.

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.
