Vegan Breakfast:
5-Minute Oatmeal Power Bowl by Oh She Glows
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana, mashed (the riper/spottier the better)
- 2 heaping tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/3 cup rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if necessary)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2/3 cup almond milk
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 tablespoon ground flax (optional, see note)
- For garnish: soaked almonds, pepita seeds, hemp hearts, cinnamon, toasted coconut, nut butter, spices (cinnamon, ginger, allspice)
Directions:
- The night before: Grab a medium bowl and mash the banana until smooth. Now stir in the chia, oats, cinnamon, milk, and water until combined. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning: Scoop the oat mixture into a medium pot. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat immediately to medium-low, and stir frequently until heated throughout and thickened. At the end of cooking, stir in flax, if using.
- Pour oats into bowl. Garnish with your desired toppings. Get cozy!
Tips:
The ground flax is optional because it creates a bit of a strange texture (almost like a flax egg) in this oatmeal. I don’t mind it, but some people might. If you think you will, just leave it out or sprinkle some ground flax on top instead.
I love topping my oats with spices—a pinch of cinnamon, ground ginger, and allspice create my perfectly spiced bowl.
Vegan Lunch:
Easy Turmeric Chickpea Salad Sandwich by The Crunchy Chronicles
Ingredients:
- 1 can chickpeas drained
- 1/3 cup aquafaba or vegan mayo (aquafaba is the liquid from the chickpea can)
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 clove garlic minced
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
Directions:
- Pulse all ingredients in a blender until well-incorporated and broken down, but not totally mushy. You still want some texture in there!
- Spread onto bread with veggies of your choice (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, etc).
Vegan Dinner:
Vegan Permission Butternut Squash Soup by Cotter Crunch
Ingredients:
- 3 medium Fuyu persimmons
- 2 cups chopped Butternut Squash
- 8 oz of vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp roasted nut butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
- 3 cloves
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/8 tsp ground ginger or cinnamon if you prefer more sweet than spice
- dash of pepper
- Optional – toasted nuts and chili sauce for topping
Directions:
- First steam your squash in steamer or microwave until they are a little tender. About 60-90 seconds in microwave works.
- Next cut off tops from persimmon. Peel each if desired. I left mine on but it’s up to you for texture.
- Combine persimmon, squash, and broth in a blender until smooth.
- Transfer to a medium size pot and add in your oil, coconut milk, almond butter, and maple syrup.
- Place on medium low and stir until smooth and everything is mixed thoroughly.
- Then add in your spices, stir, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- About 20 minutes into your simmer, the soup with thicken.
- Once it thickens, place an emersion blender in the pot to make extra creamy and smooth.
- You can also just blend again or mix with spoon repeatedly.
- Taste and see if the seasoning is too your liking. It should be a little sweet but smokey.
Serve and top with a dash of pepper, chili sauce, and toasted nuts if you’d like.
There you have it!
