Back with another hearty and delicious plant-based recipe for you to add to your collection: pancakes!


What ya need:

  • non-stick frying pan, blender, spatula
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • old fashion oats
  • plant-based milk or water
  • ripe bananas
  • fruits / nuts for toppings
  • pure maple syrup
  • optional: peanut butter

What to do:

Step 1: Pre-heat your pan on low heat with extra virgin olive oil

Step 2: Blend 1 cup of oats until they’ve turned to powder (mix as needed)

Step 3: Add to blender 1 cup of plant-based milk or water and 2 bananas to your blender

Step 4: Blend until smooth

Step 5: Turn up to medium heat and pour batter onto your pan. I find small sliver dollar pancakes are easiest and quickest to make

Step 6: Flip your pancakes when they have bubbled on top and are slightly brown at the edges

Step 7: Once your stack of pancakes finish up, pour on some pure maple syrup and top with fruit and/or nuts (I did strawberries – get creative with what you have!)

Stuffed (vegan) Cheesy Sweet Potatoes

coco yoga


This is a fun recipe you can make at home with a few simple ingredients, an oven, and blender!

Ingredients

sweet potatoes
green bean
corn
almond milk
seasonings
lime

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven at 400 degrees. Get out a non-stick pan that will fit your potatoes.

Step 2: Grab a batch of potatoes and cut a few slices about half way through to cook more thoroughly.

Step 3: Once your oven is ready, bake your potatoes for 30 mins.

Step 4: Heat up a non-stick pan on medium heat. Toss your veggies in and cook them for a few minutes to heat them up a bit. Season to your liking.

Step 5: Take your potatoes out after testing softness with a fork. You should be able to easily poke into the potatoes; if you can’t, leave in for another 5 mins and test again- repeat until ready.

Step 6: When the potatoes have cooled some, cut small rectangles into each sweet potato and scoop the mash out into a blender, leaving the skin of the potato to fill. Try to keep the potato skin in tact for an aesthetically pleasing result!

Step 7: Blend up your mash potato with some almond milk and seasonings of your choice. Start light on the milk; the more almond milk you add, the less thick your vegan cheese will be.

Step 8: Fill your potato skins with your cooked veggies and top it all with your vegan cheese! Add seasoning, hot sauce (optional), and lime to your pleasing!

Step 9: Take a picture and send it to me plzzz! Enjoy (-:

Jasmine Rice Recipe

coco yoga

Hey y’all!

Today’s the day I upload my simple jasmine rice recipe.

Rice is a staple in my diet and learning how to cook it quickly and efficiently goes a long way.

Soooo… let’s get rice into it!

Supplies

Jasmine rice
(check that this is the only ingredient on the packaging)

1 pot

1 wooden spoon

Instructions

Step 1: Fill up a pot with water.

For every cup of rice you want to make, add in 1.5 cups of water.

The ratio looks like this… 1:1.5 1 cup of rice, 1.5 cups of water.

To get the amount of water needed quickly, multiple the number of cups you’re making by 1.5 – cool now that we’re clear on the specifics…

Step 2: Add in some oil, and any desired seasonings.

Step 3: Lid your pot.

Step 4: Bring water to a boil using high heat.

Step 5: Once water is boiling, add in your rice. Stir.

Step 6: Keep the burner on high heat.

Step 7: Partially lid your pot.

Step 8: Be patient and let the water boil out without touching the rice.

Step 9: Once you cannot visibly see or hear water, use a wooden spoon to turn the rice (clockwise direction around the edge) bringing the bottom rice toward the top. I call this fluffing.

Step 10: Fully lid your pot. Allow the rice to cook for a few minutes longer on low heat.

Step 11: Taste test and turn off your burner when the texture is where you want it.

Step 12: Let cool, plate, and enjoy.
