Guys my best friend shared this recipe with me, and it is so delicious! She isn’t vegan or plant based but she happens to be a nanny for a family that eats a vegan diet, which is where she found out about this recipe and tried them for the first time! And get this, there are only 3 ingredients!
So here’s what your going to need:
12 oz. silkened or soft firm tofu (i know this sounds weird but you would never in a million years guess there is tofu in these!)
1 1/4 cup chocolate chips
1 cup milk alternative (i use almond:)
Instructions:
Melt chocolate chips
Warm your milk alternative (i used a microwave)
Combine all ingredients in blender and pulse until smooth
Pour into popsicle molds
Freeze until solid
ENJOY!
Seriously try this out! so easy! and so delicious!!
We recently had the chance to try out this amazing eco-friendly and sustainable swimwear company!
We were sent two suits to try out and create content with. The suits came in their own adorable linen drawstring bag
The company was started in Southern California while the suits are made in Bali. The fabric for the bikinis are ethically made out of fishing nets, ocean waste, and regenerated nylon. Our love for bikinis is almost as strong as our love for the ocean and the beach, so we love to support brands that are eco-friendly and help keep our oceans clean!
The quality of their suits does not disappoint, all while keeping their price reasonably affordable as well as maintaining a unique style and an ethical approach!
We were sent a two piece bikini from “The Minimal Range,” which is a collection that they have. They also sent us a super cute retro reversible one piece from “The Floral Reef” collection.
Here on Maui there is a mango tree on almost every street, and come April the trees are packed with ripe and juicy mangoes. Today we wanted to share three different recipes to incorporate them into your meals! We know that not everyone is lucky enough to be able to walk a block away from their house to a tree full of ripe fruit… but thankfully costcos and trader joes all over the main land have y’all covered!
One of my favorite things to have for breakfast is an easy 4 ingredient chia pudding! This pudding is so thick and creamy, and tastes absolutely amazing!
Vegan Mango Chia Pudding
servings: 4
What you’ll need:
2 large mangoes
1/2 cup chia seeds
1.5 cups milk alternative (I prefer coconut milk)
1-2 TBSP sweetener of your choice (optional (agave, honey, maple syrup, etc.))
In a blender, puree 1 of the mangoes and chop the other into small pieces. Next, Combine and whisk together the puree, chia, milk alternative, and your chosen sweetener in a bowl. Mix in the fresh pieces of mango and place in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Scoop into a cup and top with fresh mango & coconut flakes! Enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or a snack! So delicious and super filling as well!
Mango Bread
I have a serious obsession with banana bread so this mango bread is a dream come true and so so simple. This recipe doesn’t call for anything crazy, so that means no running to the store for an ingredient you will only use once, which will undoubtedly end up sitting in the back of your pantry for the years to come. I wish I could claim that the recipe below is super healthy, but hey, the truth is, its got processed sugar… sometimes ya gotta splurge. We’re doin our best to find a balance, and when it comes to baking ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
3 flax eggs (1 TBSP ground flax with 3 TBSP warm water = 1 egg)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup grated coconut
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
1- 2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup coconut oil
Brown sugar, organic sugar, coconut, vanilla essence, oil, and flax eggs
Flour, Baking soda, Salt and Cinnamon
After blending all ingredients together, your batter should look something like this.
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F.
Grease loaf pan
In a blender, pulse the mango for 30 seconds.
Add brown sugar, organic sugar, coconut, vanilla essence, oil, and flax eggs and pulse for another minute.
Mix in the dry ingredients: Flour, Baking soda, Salt and Cinnamon.
Pour into a loaf pan and bake for 55 minutes. Be sure to check the bread with a toothpick to make sure it is cooked through before removing from the oven! Let cool for 10-20 minutes.
Serve warm & enjoy the taste of heaven in your mouth.
Mango Salsa
This recipe has got to be one of my favorite things we have come up with. We ate the entire 2 cup serving of this salsa in one sitting… It’s just too good.
Ingredients:
1 & 1/2 cups of fresh diced mango
1/2 can of black beans (rinsed and drained)
1/2 of an onion (diced)
2 TBSP lime juice (fresh)
3 TBSP chopped cilantro
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder
3 TBSP chopped green onion
1 TBSP finely chopped purple cabbage
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl!
Taste! – add salt or lime if needed.
Enjoy!!
^^The mango salsa is pictured above being served with our vegan tacos!! This was literally my favorite meal we have ever made.
The salsa would also be great with chips, as well as on Nachos. It is an extremely versatile food and would pair well with almost anything!
