[ REMINDER : I am not a vegan. I eat a plant-based diet, but all these recipes are in fact vegan.] These recipes are so easy and they don’t require much time at all. I used to hate cooking because I thought it was too much work and it took too much time. If you are trying to loose weight or become healthier I highly suggest cooking your own meals. There are tons of easy, fast, and healthy recipes out there! So don’t make that an excuse to not start eating healthier. After a little bit you will start to enjoy it and you’ll also realize how much easier it is when your trying to eat clean. I really hope you enjoyed this video and found it helpful!!!

Breakfast: Chocolate Peanut butter Protein Waffles

1/2 oat flour
1 tbsp of choc protein
1 tbsp of powdered peanut butter
1 tsp + 1/4 tsp of baking powder
1 tbsp coconut sugar
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp coconut milk
Walnuts
Peanut butter
Lite Syrup
Pumpkin seeds

Method:

1. Grease your waffle maker and pre-heat it.
2. Grab a bowl to put your dry ingredients in.
3. Add 1/2 of oat flour, 1 tbsp of any chocolate protein powder (I used the Kashi Go Lean Chocolate Protein Powder — https://www.kashi.com/our-foods/powders/golean-plant-powered-shakes-dark-cocoa-power ), 1 tbsp of powdered peanut butter, 1 tsp + 1/4 tsp of baking powder, and 1 tbsp of coconut sugar.
4. Mix the dry ingredients together.
5. Add 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp of coconut milk. ( If you don’t have powdered peanut butter then this is when you mix in regular peanut butter. Your batter might be thicker than mine, but thats okay.)
6. Mix all together (mix well).
7. Once your waffle maker is heated up put the batter onto the waffle maker (with mine I just had to pour it in).
8. I left my waffles cooking for 5-8 minutes, but your time may variety depending on your waffle maker.
9. Take out the waffle and apply toppings. I used 100% peanut butter, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and lite syrup.

Lunch:

Papaya
Mango
Plum
Nectarine
Apricot

Method:

1. Cut up all the fruit you want and enjoy.

Dinner: Gluten-free pasta with pesto sauce

Gluten-free pasta
3 bunches of Spinach
2 Avocados
Walnuts
Cumin or garlic
Lemon juice
Water

Method:

1. Start cooking gluten-free pasta
2. While the pasta is cooking, throw 3 bunches of spinach, 2 avocados, walnuts, cumin (or garlic), lemon juice, and water ( don’t use a lot of water because you want it to be somewhat thick) in a blender and pulse it until it becomes a sauce-like texture.
3. Drain the pasta.
4. Mix the pasta with the pesto sauce.
5. Add basil or whatever toppings you’d like.

Turmeric was one of the first wellness ingredients I added to my diet when I became vegan. Often called the ‘Sunshine’ Latte, this health drink does everything from help fight bloating to lifting your mood. The active ingredient curcumin is what gives turmeric its super food powers!

I make this weekly to maintain my healthy glow, strong immune system, and clear, balanced mind. Not to mention it’s crazy delicious! So if you’re feeling a little under the weather or looking to optimise your health in an easy, quick way, I highly recommend this.

In my recipe – you don’t need milk, just raw sunflower seeds + hot water. This makes it fresh and even tastier! But don’t fret, you can use pre-made milk if you want (notes below). Don’t forget, the SECRET to activating turmeric is adding a dash of black pepper. It’s been shown that adding black pepper increases the bio-availability (body’s ability to absorb curcumin) by 2000% (YES 2000%!!)

Ingredients*:
1 TBSP Sunflower seeds
1 TSP Turmeric Powder
Pinch of black pepper
1 TSP Cold Pressed Coconut Oil
1 Cup Hot water**
Honey (to taste)

*All ingredients are organic, GMO-free for maximum health benefits
**If you don’t have seeds, just add 1 cup of heated plant milk (almond, coconut, cashew etc)

Instructions:
Add all ingredients together in a high-speed blender and blend on high for 3-5 minutes (the longer you blend, the foamier it will be)

To Garnish:
I used organic edible rose buds & organic Maca Powder (super caramel-y flavor!)
