Low fat cheesy pizza

-
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 paprika
  • a sniff of pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons onion flakes or onion powder
Here's how you make it:
  1. cut the eggplant into slices and bake them in the oven for 10 minutes at 250 °C or 482 °F. You only need to bake one side.
  2. In the meanwhile, cut the pita breads in half and top them with the tomato paste.
  3. When the eggplant slices or done, lay them on the pita breads but make sure the side that's already baked is faced downwards. Finish with some sliced black olives and put the pita pizzas back in the oven for about 10 minutes until the pita breads are nice and crispy.
  4. When the pita breads are almost done, heat up your cheese topping in a small pan on the stove on medium heat. 
  5. Take the pizzas out of the oven and top them with the cheese topping.
  6. Enjoy!

Plant based cream cheese (low fat & low carb)

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...

This is another 100 % guilt-free recipe! The chocolate mousse gets its unique marshmallow taste from the Walden Farms marshmallow dip! It tastes like real marshmallows but is sugar and fat free! Because this mousse is made with silken tofu, it's extremely low in calories and super healthy! But it tastes like real chocolate mousse! I'm addicted! This is what you need: 400 g silken tofu 1 large tablespoon raw cacao powder 2 tablespoons Walden Farms marshmallow dip ( ORDER 1 POT OF MARSHMALLOW DIP HERE ) This is how you make it: throw the silken tofu into a strainer and let it drain for 30 minutes when it's drained, put it into a blender along with the cacao powder and the marshmallow dip and blend until you get a smooth consistency pour the mixture into a bowl and let it firm up in the fridge for at least an hour

Banana Buckwheat Sandwiches

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 ...
