date caramel (plant-based)

food, home

I came home one day to my little sister Nora (we call her Noodle) creating a new concoction to satisfy her intense sugar tooth. As per my request, she experimented with a vegan or plant-based caramel! This caramel is perfect to blend into banana nice-cream or to top off anything sweet!

What makes this caramel so amazing is that it is made with all natural sugars and is dairy free!! You can also whip it up in a moments notice for when those late-night cravings hit you hard.

Soooooo.. lets get into this recipe already!!

Vegan Date Caramel

makes around 1 cup

Ingredients:

  • about 8 dates (pitted)
  • 1/2 cup nut milk of your choice, I used coconut
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1-2 TBSP nut butter- I used peanut
  • 1 cup hot water

Directions:

  1. place pitted dates into a bowl and submerge them into the hot water- let soak for anywhere from 5 – 20 minutes. (the longer you soak the smoother the caramel will be)
  2. add the dates + half of the hot water from soaking into the blender
  3. add the salt + nut butter followed with half of the nut milk
  4. begin to blend!
  5. gradually add more and more milk to attain the desired texture.
  6. blend until extremely smooth then taste!
  7. store in a mason jar or a squeezieeee bottle!

This stuff is seriously liquid gold and isn’t that bad for you 😉 hope ya try it and like it!!!

Chunky Monkey Shake (vegan)

food, home

Ok… am I the only one that after eating a HUGE savory meal, regardless of how full I am, I always crave something sweet to balance it out?! This is my go-to shake when I’m craving a quick and healthy dessert! It is perfect for those times when you need something rich, salty, and sweet.

Let’s skip right to this recipe!!

Ingredients:

  • 1 large frozen banana
  • 1 heaping cup of ice
  • 1/4 tsp of salt
  • 1 TBSP Peanut Butter (you can add as much as you like hahaha)
  • 2 TBSP chocolate chips (vegan optional)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk of your choice, I used almond milk (less milk if you want icecream and more milk if you want a milkshake texture)

Directions:

  • Place the banana, ice, salt, peanut butter, and milk into a Vitamix blender.
  • Blend until smooth- using the tamper as needed.
  • Add in the chocolate chips and blend into small pieces/chunks
  • Scoop into a cup or bowl and Enjoyyy:)))

Hope this satisfies all your cravings 😉

Mango-Banana Nice cream

food, home

Fruit is my go-to snack, I LOVEEE it. Working at an Acai bowl shop/cafe has really given me the chance to experiment with different fruits and nutmilks to achieve the best creamy texture!

I’d say the two best fruits to use for the base of your icecream would be bananas and mango. I always have those two stocked in my freezer ready for some impromptu nice cream when the cravings hit!

The great thing about this nice cream is it can be dressed up or down depending on your cravings!!! If you’re feeling something fruity, add some goji berries, fresh fruit, or coconut flakes!! On the other hand, if you’re looking for something a little bit richer, then reach for some peanut butter, coconut cream, or chocolate chips.

Down below is the super simple, 3 ingredient recipe for a base nice cream

Mango-Banana Nice cream

  1. one frozen banana
  2. two cups mango
  3. 1/4 cup of coconut milk (or milk of your choice)

Instructions:

  1. Place ingredients in blender starting with the banana->
  2. Blend using the tamper until smooth.
  3. Top with your choice of toppings and Enjoy!!

Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!!
