This snack is incredibly high calcium (467mg of calcium!), and yummy (we think at least), and also high protein! Coming in at just 220 calories, what more could you want, especially from just three ingredients? Now, we do have to say up front that it uses very specific ingredients, and that one of them is Orgain vegan organic protein powder. So, if you’re not into that you may want to skip this ‘recipe’, and that’s ok too.

Easy Vegan Sweet Chestnut Cream Recipe and Vegan Mont Blanc Directions
Chestnut cream seems like such an exotic thing, but it is actually so easy to make, especially when you start with the pre-peeled chestnuts available at Costco and other places. And while sweet chestnut cream is typically made using a simple sugar syrup, ours is sweetened with dates, and so even easier to make! There are lots of things that you can do and make with chestnut cream, but one of the classics is a Mont Blanc dessert, which is, traditionally, sweet chestnut cream piled onto a meringue base, and topped with whipped cream (doesn’t that sound yummy?) Following our recipe and directions you can make the entire thing vegan, including with vegan meringue!

Here are the directions for the PlantStrong pancake and waffle mix (you’d be forgiven for assuming it’s “Plant Strong”, rather than the portmanteau of the two). Finding a truly gluten-free and also truly vegan pancake mix is not easy, especially when so many of them then include adding eggs in the directions.
Why Is My LightLife Tempeh Black and Is It Ok to Eat?
Has this ever happened to you? You open a brand new package of Lightlife sliced tempeh (also called ‘tempe’ by some), such as the bacon flavored tempeh, and it is covered in what appears to be black mold or some sort of black spoilage? So you freak out, check the ‘best by’ date (which is likely still weeks out), and try to figure out just what could have gone so horribly wrong?

In this episode we try dumping premade vegan chocolate pudding into the Creami container, freezing it, and “spinning” (i.e. churning) it. In fact, it was the first thing we tried for “Will it Creami?”
Will it Creami? Amazing 3-Ingredient Silken Tofu Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream
As we have dedicated our explorations with our new Ninja Creami to lazy vegans everywhere, we have determined to discover as many “dump and freeze” things as we can, giving rise to our “Will it Creami?” series of posts and recipes. Today we are turning our attention to that unsung hero of the tofu world, the shelf-stable silken tofu. We can just hear you now: “Tofu in ice cream??” Yes, our pretties, tofu not only in ice cream, but tofu as ice cream! We promise that it will blow your mind, because it’s actually deeeelicious!
The Lazy Vegan’s Guide to the Ninja Creami: We Explain Where Are the Fill Lines and How Hot Should the Hot Water be for Slushies?
In case you’re not familiar with the Ninja Creami, it works a bit differently from other home ice cream makers. With many home ice cream makers you have to freeze a relatively large, double-walled metal bowl, then put your ingredients in and process it. Of course, you still need your ingredients to be frozen with the Creami, but instead of having to freeze a big old bowl, which you will need to refreeze after you use it before you can make more ice cream, the Creami ingeniously has you freeze your ingredients right in the pint (or “larger pint”, depending on which model you get) containers in which you will blend and also store your frozen confections. This also means that you can have several in your freezer, pre-frozen and ready to go! Brilliant!!
How to Make that Viral TikTok Maple Syrup Olive Oil Caramel Sauce – With a Twist!
A vegan caramel sauce recipe made with olive oil and maple syrup?? Yes! And our twist on it brings it to a whole new level of foodgasm!The Internet is a’buzz with @fitgreenmind’s viral TikTok video showing a very simple recipe, or hack if you will, of taking olive oil, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt, and turning it into smooth, delicious caramel sauce. Now, this is not as outlandish as it may seem at first glance. Traditional caramel sauce recipes nearly all call for butter, cream, and sugar. In other words, to make a delicious caramel sauce you need fat and something sweet. In the olive oil and maple syrup recipe, the olive oil takes the place of the fat from the butter and cream, while the maple syrup provides the something sweet, and together they provide the mouthfeel.
