Low fat cheesy pizza

Image
I love this recipe because it's easy, quick and in no way a sin. It tastes like real pizza but you don't have the gross, sickening and lethargic feeling afterwards. The cheese topping tastes like real, creamy cheese but is even lower in fat than most vegan cheese toppings. Most vegan cheeses and cheese toppings are made of nuts which are very high in fat. This cheese however is made from silken tofu which is very low in fat and low calorie in general. The soft, silken texture of the tofu makes the cheese really creamy so it melts in your mouth! The pita bread is so light for your digestion and needs no preparation which makes this recipe so quick and ideal for busy people! I made this for my non vegan boyfriend who normally likes really fatty foods and he LOVED this recipe! He said he likes it better than regular pizza!  Here's what you'll need: pita bread 1 eggplant  black olives tomato paste 400 g silken tofu 50 g nutritional yeast 1 tablespoon smoked p...

Creamy Curry Spinach Risotto

Image
I've always been intrigued by risotto. Turning dry rice into a flavourful, creamy dish almost seems like magic to me. Before I went plant based, I never had the courage to try it out though. It seemed complicated and time consuming, not to mention that this dish is normally very high in saturated fats because it's usually made with a ton of butter, heavy cream and cheese. It's by coincidence that I was able to create this recipe. One day I just decided to try out cooking my rice in almond milk or coconut milk instead of plain water. From there on, I let my imagination take over and do the rest. The result was a super healthy yet amazingly creamy risotto with an explosion of flavours. I don't even use special risotto rice to make this: just the cheapest, white rice I find in the grocery store. This is what you need: 125 g white rice 109 g frozen spinach 1 l almond milk or coconut milk from Alpro Soya (you could also use another plant based milk) 1 tablespoon ...

Plant based cream cheese (low fat & low carb)

Image
I've mentioned in an earlier post that before I adopted a plant based diet, I was addicted to cheese, especially melted cheese! When I used to binge, one of my favorite meals was pasta with stir fried mushrooms, bacon and... cream cheese which I added at the end of the cooking process so that it could melt over the warm pasta. And I did not add just a little bit of cream cheese! I added a whole pot. Here's a picture of the 2 brands I used the most: The vegan cream cheese I make now, tastes EXACTLY the same as the real cream cheese I used to binge on and you can use it in all the same ways you would use real cream cheese, something I never thought possible. I use it to put on my sandwiches, as a thick, creamy dressing on salads or I stuff mushrooms with it and put them in the oven to serve them as an appetizer when my family comes over! I used to serve this appetizer with the real cream cheese and they haven't even noticed that I've switched the real cheese for the...

Banana Buckwheat Sandwiches

Image
You can truly make people's day with this recipe: surprise your loved one with a romantic breakfast or serve these sandwiches as a little extra after breakfast, take them to work to treat your colleagues... Everyone who has tasted these has become hooked! Despite the fact that they're very sweet, these sandwiches are pretty healthy. Instead of white, refined flour, I used whole buckwheat flour and most of the sugars present in this recipe come from the natural sugars in the banana and Stevia which has 0 calories and is actually the healthiest alternative sweetener on the market. Contrary to aspartame for example, an alternative sweetener known to be waistline-friendly but linked to premature dementia, Stevia, as far as current scientific research shows, does not have any negative side effects. The only unhealthy sugars in these sandwiches come from a thin layer of jam. I always use silicone molds to bake my muffins, breads, egg muffins etc. because that way I save money ...
