Street Corn Bowl with Tofu Lentil Picadillo 🌽 Street Corn Bowl with Tofu Lentil Picadillo 🌽 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This vegan bowl is inspired from one of my favorite LA spots @tocayaorganica which is sadly not here in Miami!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The bowls are not identical, mine is lighter and not as spicy. I did add a drizzle of my Cashew Cilantro dressing which does have a small kick from the red pepper flakes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This bowl is great for lunch or dinner, and makes a large portion to share with your friends or keep on hand for meal prepping throughout the week.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of my favorite plant based spreads. Black tahini is thicker, earthier, and toastier than regular tahini. Regular white tahini uses hulled sesame seeds, black tahini uses unhulled sesame seeds.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because it’s thick and slightly drying in your mouth I love pairing black tahini with something super hydrating like thinly sliced cucumber. I drizzled olive oil, a sprinkle of sea salt, and topped w arugula sprouts 🌱 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you don’t feel like making a batch the brand Kevala sells bottled back tahini. I loveee it on toast but it’s commonly used in baking (which I haven’t dipped into yet!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For this spread I added 1.5 cups black sesame seeds, 3 cloves roasted garlic, 2 tbsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp sea salt in a food processor and blended until super creamy. You’ll need to scrape down the sides frequently. Keep in mind black tahini is thicker than regular tahini so it won’t reach the same smooth consistency.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is black tahini too exotic or something you would try?!

Quinoa Fried “Rice” 🍚🥕🍄🍳 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Classic fried rice swapped with quinoa and avocado oil! Traditionally restaurants use canola oil in fried rice which is suuuuper inflammatory. For me personally it makes my joints swell, gives me a headache, and upsets my stomach. Good news is you can easily make fried rice at home with healthier ingredients like avocado oil 🥑 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here I used quinoa (more nutrients than rice - fiber, protein, calcium, magnesium, & zinc to name a few) Nothing wrong with rice OF COURSE, I eat it all the time, but nutrition wise quinoa is superior.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Vegan eggs - tbh products like JUST egg are incredible but don’t have a good ingredient list sadly. I enjoy it time to time (balance!) but I recommend making your own eggs from high protein tofu. Crumble and toss in turmeric, kala namak (black salt), paprika, and nutritional yeast. Sauté for 10ish min in avocado oil. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Carrots & mushrooms cooked in avocado oil. I kept the heat on low and cooked the veggies for 10ish minutes before adding in the quinoa and tamari. Feel free to add in peas, broccoli, or any other veg you desire.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Crispy tofu. Coat tofu cubes in avocado oil, either oat/almond flour or cornstarch, and sea salt. Air fry until crispy. Keep in mind using corn starch will make your tofu significantly crispier, flour will make it more bready.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Optionally top with green onions. I like making a biggg batch of this fried “rice” and keeping it on hand in the fridge for quick lunches.

Lemon Parsley Alfredo – Vegan & GF

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
lemon parsley alfredo

Lemon Parsley Alfredo Pasta.

Introducing the coziest pasta of all time! This lemon parsley alfredo pasta is like a cross between mac and cheese and a potato soup. The lemon and parsley flavors are fragrant, delicious, and offer so many health benefits. If you suffer from a digestive issue like IBS or SIBO, you will be happy to know this pasta is both vegan and low FODMAP!

Lemon Parsley Alfredo Sauce

I used a potato base for this pasta due to it’s creamy texture. The benefits that come with it being a starchy carb include:

  • Keeps you satiated longer.
  • High in fiber.
  • Packed with antioxidants and micronutrients.
  • Gut healthy & gentle on the digestive system.

Fresh herbs should be included in everyone’s diet. Not only do herbs provide flavor and the power to elevate a basic dish, they contain polyphenols. Polyphenols are a class of phytochemicals PACKED with micronutrients. They provide a ton of health benefits including keeping your gut healthy and happy.

Low FODMAP

This recipe is suitable for vegans on a temporary low FODMAP diet. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have heard me talk about FODMAPs and how it can cure digestive issues such as IBS, SIBO, or leaky gut. The diet consists of low FODMAP foods only for a few months, then requires slowly reintroducing high FODMAP foods back into your diet. Unfortunately, plant-based staples like cashews, beans, avocados, cauliflower, bananas, and mushrooms are all high FODMAP.

There are low FODMAP plant-based options, and this meal is an example of that. If you are not on a low FODMAP diet, you can replace one of the boiled potatoes with 1/2 cup soaked cashews. If you want to stick to low FODMAP ingredients but mix up the color, feel free to replace one of the boiled potatoes with 2 boiled carrots or 1/2 cup soaked macadamia nuts.

  • red pepper flakes optional topping

Instructions

  • Peel your potatoes and add to a pot of water. Bring the water to a boil. Once the potatoes are tender, drain and remove from heat. If you can handle nuts, you can sub one of the potatoes for 1/2 cup of soaked cashews.

  • Blend until sauce is super creamy and smooth. Add in the parsley and only pulse a few times if at all, overblending it can kill the nutrients.
