This is my new favorite sandwich! I came across this recipe at The Abolitionist Vegan Society website and I thought it looked good. I had no idea how good until I tried it - it's unbelievable! I used the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus (see recipe below) - chickpeas over chickpeas - yum! The texture is creamy, crunchy, and rich, and the sandwich is extremely satisfying! Hummus is one of my favorite spreads, and this is one of my favorite recipes because of the incredible sweetness and flavor that the roasted red pepper adds to the hummus! I started with the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus recipe out of the Vitamix Recipe Book, and I substituted water for the olive oil because I think there's enough fat from the sesame seeds. The result is a lighter hummus with no oil slick on top! Hummus can be used as a dip for vegetables or a spread on sandwiches, wraps, flat bread, crackers, or chips. This is an amazingly simple, fresh, quick, delicious, and satisfying meal that can be easily served to family as well as to guests. Toss in a salad and you can have a complete meal in 30 minutes or less. While this recipe calls for canned diced tomatoes, you can easily substitute fresh tomatoes from your garden, the farmers market, or the produce section of your grocery store. The recipe below is a slightly modified version of the original recipe found at http://www.apronstringsblog.com/one-pot-wonder-tomato-basil-pasta-recipe/. This awesome smoothie and intro comes from the Young and Raw website: What do you do when you’re hungry, in a rush or just feeling too lazy to make a meal? Have a smoothie of course! We’re loving this one, and if you’re lucky enough to have access to mango (frozen or fresh) at this time of year, this is an easy recipe for you to try. Smoothies make a great breakfast and we usually suggest you start with one simple change when you want to get healthy or switch up your diet. Having a smoothie for breakfast instead of potatoes and bacon or pancakes can make a massive improvement in your energy levels and how you feel through out the rest of your day. A recipe like this is easy to make and only takes a few minutes from start to finish.
This outstanding "cheese" sauce recipe comes from my Vitamix recipe book. It makes a delicious mac n "cheese" - try it with whole grain macaroni! It also makes a great "cheesy" broccoli (or other vegetables), vegetable dip, nachos, or "cheese" spread for bread or crackers. You can quickly whip this up in your Vitamix or blender.
This is the sauce that Karen and Ellie prepared when we did the Nutritional Makeover at Karen's house. Watch the video on the home page to hear what Karen and Ellie have to say about it! This sauce is delicious! It's creaminess and richness comes from raw cashews and it rivals it's dairy-based cousin in richness and in taste, while missing out on all the saturated fat and cholesterol, making it a much healthier choice! I found this recipe on YouTube posted by Mahalodotcom and I added a couple of my own variations. This soup is so hearty and thick, it's actually more like a stew! If you're looking for something to satisfy your hunger and warm you through and through, this is it! Loaded with vegetables, grains, and legumes, you can also add chopped kale to make it more green. The coconut milk makes it a little creamy and adds a very subtle sweetness to the soup that's delicious! You can make this gluten-free by substituting brown rice for the barley.
This dessert is simple and quick, and it's unbelievably delicious, smooth and satisfying! When that entire bunch of bananas suddenly begins to turn brown and there's no way to eat them before they go bad, just peel and store two sliced bananas to a baggie in the freezer. That way they're on hand and ready to go when the urge for this awesome dessert strikes!
