Nut-free Whipped Tofu Cream Cheese ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nut-free Whipped Tofu Cream Cheese
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ever since I tried tofu cream cheese in New York I’ve been obsessed. Why tofu cream cheese isn’t a thing anywhere else is beyond me??
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily it’s extremely easy to make at home. All I did was blend high protein tofu in a food processor with sun dried tomatoes, chives, sea salt, and nutritional yeast. It works as a dip or a spread as pictured here.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s my exact recipe:
— 1 container high protein tofu
—3 oz sun dried tomatoes
—1/4 cup chopped chives
—2 tbsp nutritional yeast
—1/4 tsp sea salt
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Blend in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Optional toppings are extra virgin olive oil, red chili flakes, and herbs. Use as a dip or atop a bagel or toast.

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.

I made this recipe for @abbotsbutcher May recipes, find the recipe in the link in their bio!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s cheesy, decadent, filling, flavorful, and so fun to put together. Seriously one of my favorite creations. Go try it!!!
black tahini toast — ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ black tahini toast —
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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.
