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.

Turmeric Ginger Banana ‘Mylkshake’

December 29, 2016 By julia

The blender. Doesn’t it blow your mind?

With just a few ingredients, you’re on your way to taste bud heaven.

This time, think milkshake… but good for you. REAL good for you.

If you can get the actual turmeric and ginger root from your local grocery store, DO IT.

You could use the powdered, but this recipe is so much better with the real, fresh ingredients. If you have a hard time finding them, Spud carries turmeric and ginger root! Just order online from their website and it will get delivered to your door (use the code CRVAN-MURJUB for 20$ off your first order). While you’re at it, add a box of smoothie ready bananas for just 7 bucks and freeze them so they’re ready for your next smoothie session!

Then this creamy, spicy super smoothie so fast and easy to put together.

If you have a high-speed blender, this bevy is amazing blended until warm.

It’s the best thing to come back to after playing all day in the fresh powder.

By the way HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I’m going to share what I am chatting away about in this week’s email to subscribers (subscribe on the homepage).
Here’s s few things I can leave you with while we’re shooting into 2017:

  1. Try not to get overwhelmed about the things that didn’t happen in 2016, or the things you hope to achieve in 2017. This life of ours is all about the adventure. The best gift we can give to ourselves is to be grateful for each present moment and appreciate the relationships, achievements and things that we have now. 
  2. Don’t be like THIS GUY, trying to get it all over-with and done at once.
  3. Just ENJOY the process! We’ve all got mundane things to do in this life (think chores, some work, etc), but what if we switched our mind-set into being excited to do those things, and ignore the part of our brain that dreads what’s to come? 

I can’t waaaait to answer emails!
I’m SO stoked to do the recycling!
Cleaning the house? YES!!! 

Imagine how fun life would be if we truly believed everything was amazingly fun?  Something to think about… 

OK, now back to winter in a cup.

The benefits of this drink are endless. But, here’s just a few to be excited about…

20130309_blackcomb_037

Benefits:

–Turmeric is one of nature’s best anti-inflammatory. Eating it with black pepper drastically improves it’s absorption into your hot bod, magnifying the benefits. It’s also great for bloating, digestion, blood purification, skin conditions, cancer-fighting, plus it aids in fat metabolism.

–Ginger is well-known for it’s anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. This makes it a great answer for combatting seasonal flus and making your immune system super-human. Ginger is also a star when it comes to nausea and muscle pain.

–Bananas are packed full of beneficial carbohydrates, with fibre and a bit of protein! They really are an all round healthy food that if I lived on a deserted island, all I would need is bananas. There’s a reason monkeys go bananas over bananas, and it makes up most of their diet. Smart monkeys. They also decrease bloating (especially for that time of the month ladies!), build lean muscle mass, help your muscles recover faster and give you a boost of clean, whole food energy.

Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric Ginger Banana Mylkshake

Time: 5 minutes

Serves: 1-2

Ingredients:

  • 2 bananas, peeled
  • 2-3 centimetres turmeric root, chopped (start with less, and add more if you can handle the spice!)
  • 2-3 tsp ginger root, chopped
  • 3-5 dates (depending on size, but I used 5 small bahri dates. 3 medjool would do the trick)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or less if you want it thicker)
  • little pinch of pepper
  • cinnamon to top

Steps:

  1. Throw all of the ingredients into a high speed blender. Blend for 1 minute (or until warm).
  2. Pour into your favourite mug and sprinkle with cinnamon

Note: This goes well with last week’s Raw Vegan Chocolate Orange Christmas Bites

Pro Persimmon tip: 

You HAVE to wait until it’s so ripe that it’s gooey. Especially for the taller Hachiya
type.

Then expect to experience the most delicious vanilla pudding-like tastiness ….(Vs: if you eat it while it’s firm, its chalky-ness makes it almost inedible).

Have you tried this fab fall/winter fruit?

Local Vegan Biz shout out 🎉 

@hwycafe visits (in Pemberton) give me the warm fuzzies. 
What Leo & Laura have created is nothing short of RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS menu of vegan comfort food, and to see their growth & the traction they’re  gaining from spreading the vegan message through the ridiculousl deliciousness, is really somethin’ else.

The collab day they did a couple weeks back with @erinireland at  @tolivefor.bakery had a 3 hour!!! line up of people who were happily waiting to try their infamous Chick’N Wraps. 

Proof you don’t need animals for all the nostalgic textures & flavours you’d ever crave. 

Stop by @thehwycafe next time you’re in Pemby, and you’ll be greeted by one of the kindest & most compassionate (and purpose driven) couples I’ve come across 

Get in there. 
It’s ridiculous how delicious 🤤 

…Look out for their new food truck around Whistler & festivals next year too 🎉
