The Happy Gluten-Free Vegan

These brown rice spinach veggie burgers are not only delicious, vegan, and gluten-free, but they are so easy to make!

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.

Share or save some yum!If you have a sweet tooth, or are just craving something sweet, or have kids who you are trying to wean away from processed sugar, then this Vegan German Chocolate Fudge should fill the bill. Of course in addition to being vegan it’s gluten-free (after all,…

Golden Turmeric Cups (nicknamed Golden Cups or even Golden Fat Bombs) are super-easy to make, super delicious, and super good for you! And of course they are gluten-free and vegan. Full of healthy fats, and with the MCTs from coconut oil, and protein from nut butter and protein powder, they are a great ‘pick-me-up’ snack, and perfect for quick-quenching a bit of hunger! We get all of the main ingredients (all three of them :~)) at Costco, but you can of course get them elsewhere as well.

Mmm…doughnuts! Whoever imagined that donuts could be gluten-free, vegan (and baked, not fried!) and still be this good?! Not to mention so easy and fun to make!

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!

Hi, I’m Anne P. Mitchell, and I’m vegan, gluten-free, and happy! Many people think that it’s hard to be gluten free and vegan, but I’m here to tell you that it’s not only not hard, but it’s fun!

We love getting organic, shelled, roasted peanuts, however often they come with the skin on, which can be very messy when eating them as a snack. And of course for lots of recipes you want the peanuts without the skins. If only there were an easy way to remove the skins of peanuts. Well guess what! There is! Here it is.

Our vegan chocolate pistachio butter recipe has it all: it’s easy, it’s out-of-this-world delicious, it’s only 4 ingredients, and it’s a very healthful nut butter!

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.

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?

It’s almost pumpkin spice season, and it’s definitely ice cream season, so we figured we’d get ahead of things and give you our new vegan pumpkin spice latte ice cream recipe now! Of course, if you don’t like the “latte” part you can always just leave out the coffee!

Our vegan rose cardamom ice cream recipe was done in our Ninja Creami, but of course you can use it with any other ice cream maker or ice cream making method! You will not believe how incredible this ice cream is, it’s quickly become one of our two favourite ice cream recipes, so far. (The other is our Lapsang Souchong ice cream, which we will post soon, we promise!)

The reason we say that this very easy, vegan spicy Asian peanut sauce is versatile is because you can use it for so many things! Toss baked, steamed, or fried tofu with it, put it over rice, or use it over noodles to make dan dan mein. Or thin it out a bit and use it as a dipping sauce for potstickers, spring rolls, or vegan egg rolls!

Did you know that there are some things that you can just dump into your Ninja Creami with no extra preparation?! It’s true! Things like premade vegan pudding, Orgain protein shakes, boxed silken tofu, Laird superfood creamer, Oats Overnight, Bird’s custard, applesauce, canned peaches, canned pineapple, canned tomatoes, and even canned corn can all be frozen and made into ice cream!

This is part of our “Will it Creami?” series, in which we dump something in the Ninja Creami and see if it will turn into an edible ice cream, sorbet, or other divine frozen concoction! 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?”

Did you know that the Ninja Creami (pronounced “Ninja Creamy”) ice cream maker is awesome for vegans? If you have a Ninja Creami languishing, barely used on your counter, or maybe even hidden away unused in a closet, this is the Ninja Creami quick start guide for you!

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!

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!!

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.
