spring is hereeee! this spring pea orzo is plant b spring is hereeee! this spring pea orzo is plant based, packed with flavors and nutrients, and is SO easy to make. here’s how:

01 Cook 1 cup of orzo in 2 cups of water. You do NOT have to rinse it, just a personal preference! Meanwhile, add about 2 cups of broccoli florets into a food processor. Pulse until the broccoli has turned into a rice. Careful not to over pulse or it will become soggy.

The Mediterranean diet has consistently been ranke The Mediterranean diet has consistently been ranked the healthiest diet in the world - luckily for vegans, it doesn’t include many animal products! I combined a few of my favorite vegan items from the mediterranean diet and compacted them into one easy to make lunch bowl. I did add tofu (not on the Mediterranean diet) but if you want to keep it 100% Mediterranean try lentils. This bowl is perfect for meal prep and tastes SO SO good.

RECIPE:

01 Cook 1 cup of quinoa in 2 cups of water. Once done, fluff with a fork then toss with finely chopped dill and parsley.

02 Chop up a block of high protein tofu into cubes. Toss with avocado oil spray, tamari, sea salt, and corn starch.
Once fully coated, air fry the tofu at 375 until crispy. Give them a stir after 12 minutes then air fry for another 8-10 minutes.

03 Wash about 6 baby potatoes and peel away any sprouts. Cut each potato into 4 wedges. Toss with avocado oil spray, sea salt, paprika, and zatar seasoning. Air fry at 400 degrees for about 12-15 minutes or until crispy.

04 To a dish add 1/2 cup Tahini, juice from 1/2 Lemon, 1/2 tsp Sea Salt, 1/4 tsp Black Pepper and 3-4 tbsp Water (add more if you want a runnier consistency.)

05 Chop up one large tomato, 2 Persian cucumbers, and set aside about 12 green olives and arugula.

06 Divide all ingredients into four bowls or meal prep containers. 1 serving includes 1 cup of arugula, 1/4th of the herby quinoa, 1/4th of the crispy tofu, about 5 potato wedges, 1/4th of the cucumber and tomato, 3 green olives, and a generous drizzle of lemon tahini. The remaining portions will stay good about 5 days. Enjoy!

1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cardamom

Only 9 Ingredient Banana Carrot Bread

Whether you’re a baker or not, this vegan Banana Carrot Bread can be made by anyone, regardless of your skill level. Combine your dry ingredients in one bowl and your wet ingredients in another. Once both are well combined, add the wet into the dry. Mix well, then fold in the grated carrots. Add to a greased loaf pan, I used a 9×5 pan.

Bake your Banana Carrot Bread at 350 degrees F for 50 minutes. At the 25 minute mark, rotate your loaf pan 180 degrees. Let cool before enjoying or adding your frosting.

Brown Butter Frosting

My mom always used to make me banana bread growing up - it's so simple but such a classic! The brown butter frosting is totally optional but adds a fun twist to these classic flavors. You can either keep it on the thinner side as more of a glaze, or thicken it up into a more traditional cream cheese frosting.

If you haven’t browned butter into a frosting before, here are the super simple steps:

    • Brown the butter. Drop 1/4 cup of butter into a saucepan. Heat on medium until the butter starts to foam. At that point begin to whisk often until the butter turns into a brown color. Add to a mixing bowl and allow to cool.
    • Add your ingredients. Add the cream cheese first and beat with a hand or stand mixer. Next add in the vanilla almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt. Finally, sift in the powdered sugar. This is tedious but important, you don’t want to find clumps of sugar in the frosting. Start with 2 cups and go from there. If it’s too thin for your liking, sift in more powdered sugar. If it’s too thick, add in more vanilla almond milk by the tbsp.
    • Whisk. Use a hand mixer or standing mixture to whip your mixture into a creamy frosting.

Banana Carrot Bread with Brown Butter Frosting

This delicious Vegan Banana Carrot Bread topped with a Brown Butter frosting is moist and filled with rich, comforting flavors.
Servings: 8 slices

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups Baking Flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil
  • 3 ripe Bananas
  • 2 Carrots, grated

Brown Butter Frosting

  • 1/4 cup Vegan Butter
  • 1/4 cup Vegan Cream Cheese
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar, sifted
  • 2 tbsp Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and grease a loaf pan with oil. Add the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  • In a separate bowl mash the bananas then mix in the wet ingredients. Once combined stir into the dry ingredients. Grate the peeled carrots directly into the bowl & stir to combine.
  • Add your mixture into your loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes rotating once halfway thru.
  • For the frosting: melt your butter in a sauce pan. When the butter starts foaming, whisk often until the butter browns. This will take a bit of time so be patient. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
  • Once the butter is cooled, use a hand mixer to stir in the cream cheese. Sift in the powdered sugar then the remaining ingredients. If the mixture is too liquidy for your liking, add in more powdered sugar. If the mixture is too thick, add in more milk by the tbsp.
  • Allow the bread to cool before adding the frosting. Keep stored in the fridge or enjoy immediately.
