Ray-Ban Sunglasses

[veryhungryvegan]

I’m still not entirely over being ill, which means I have been waking up pretty late the past few days and craving something warm and satisfying for breakfast. For me, a big bowl of warm oats is exactly that. The fresh bananas I have at home aren’t quite ripe yet, so I opted for some apple instead, resulting in this perfect bowl of apple pie style oats. An extremely simple, yet satisfying breakfast (best consumed in front of a heater).

Recipe Oats

1/2 cup of oats

1 cup of vitasoy almond milk

1 grated medium sized apple (I used pink lady)

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tbsp raisins

Topping

1/4 cup chopped almonds

2 tsp agave

1 tsp of pumpkin seeds

1 tsp maca powder

sprinkle of coconut flakes

any leftover apple slices

Place the oats, almond milk, grated apple, and cinnamon in a pan at a medium heat and stir with a spoon until a creamy consistency is achieved. Remove from heat and top with agave, almonds, pumpkin seeds, maca, coconut, and extra cinnamon and apple as desired and enjoy!

Vegan Strawberry Nice-Cream

If you’re familiar with veganism, particularly a whole foods plant-based diet, you’ve probably heard of “nice-cream” (frozen bananas blended to achieve a creamy consistency). If not, then this is something that you definitely want to try.

Since a high-powered blender made its way into my life it has been difficult for me not to eat nice-cream every single day (yes, even in the middle of winter!) Nice-cream is so versatile, with the addition of frozen fruits, plant extracts, sauces, syrups, and toppings you can easily change it up to suit your mood and avoid ever getting bored of it. For my breakfast today I enjoyed a bowl of strawberry nice-cream topped with coconut flakes, apple and blueberry granola, chia seeds, and chopped almonds. It’s really very simple but I have attached some instructions below just incase!

Recipe Strawberry Nice-Cream

1 frozen banana

1 cup frozen strawberries

1/4 cup Vitasoy almond milk

1 tsp Loving Earth maca powder*

1 tbsp black chia seeds

Blend all of the ingredients together in a high-powered blender until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency (if you do not have a high-powered blender you should be able to achieve the same consistency using a regular blender through stirring and adding more liquid while blending, and then freezing slightly afterwards). Place your nice-cream in a bowl and top with whatever sauces, syrups, powders, seeds, cereals, or fruits that you desire.

* I love adding maca powder to my nice-cream and smoothie bowls, not only does it add an extra creaminess (almost like a caramel flavour), but it is also packed full of vitamins B, C and E and is thought to support a number of other health benefits.

Vegan Chocolate Iced Donuts

My new camera, an Olympus OM-D EM-10ii, arrived in the mail on Friday and I was super excited to spend some time trying it out and getting the hang of using it. Being sick since it arrived however made this a bit of a challenge, but I was feeling somewhat better this afternoon and decided to give it a go. I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted my first post to be about but after trying doughnut time for the first time last week I was really craving some donuts. A quick online search lead me to a great recipe (originally posted by @TheOfficialHungry) for oven baked vegan donuts, which I adapted slightly to the ingredients which were available to me.

Recipe Dough – Dry Mixture

2 2/3 cup of plain flour

2/3 cup coconut sugar

1.5 tsp baking soda

2 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tsp pink himalayan salt

Dough – Wet Mixture

1 cup Vitasoy almond milk

1/4 cup grape seed oil

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat fan-forced oven to 190 degrees celsius. Combine all dry ingredients together in a bowl using a whisk. Combine all wet ingredients together in a bowl using a whisk, allow this to stand for a few minutes until it is frothy in appearance. Create a well in the dry mixture and add in the wet mixture slowly while stirring with a whisk, when combined the dough should be sticky in appearance. Scoop the dough mixture into a zip-lock bag (with a hole cut into a corner) or piping bag, and pipe into a non-stick donut tray (this recipe should make 12 medium sized donuts). Place tray in the oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes, allow donuts to cool before icing.

Icing Mixture

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp cocoa powder

1 tbsp Vitasoy almond milk

Combine all of the icing mixture ingredients in a bowl, adding more or less almond milk depending on your desired consistency. Dip the the top of the donuts into the bowl in a twisting motion to ensure an even coating. You can then top the donuts with whatever you desire, I used coconut flakes, Loving Earth chocolate buckwheat clusters and mint chocolate!

I was pleasantly surprised with how the they turned out, given that I had never made donuts before, and with the endless number of flavour and topping combinations I can’t see myself getting bored of this recipe any time soon. Another plus for me was how simple these donuts were to make and how little refined sugar and oil was required to create them, making them the perfect treat for any occasion!

Introductions

Hi everyone! I’ve been pretty absent from tumblr over the past year due to other commitments, but I have decided to reboot this account to include more personal posts and vegan related content. I will be sharing all of my posts from my other social media accounts (veryhungryvegan.com) and instagram (@veryhungryvegan) on here and am happy to answer any vegan related questions you may have. A little bit about me - my name is Zoe and I am a 21-year-old student from Melbourne, Australia. I love being able to cook, create, explore, and learn new things every single day; and I want to be able to share it with you. I was inspired to go vegan over 5 years ago and it has honestly been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am extremely passionate about ethical veganism and plant-based food, and I believe in promoting this lifestyle as much as possible, for the health and wellbeing of animals, humans, and the planet alike. Ultimately, I would like this space to act not only as a creative outlet for myself, but also as a useful resource for those considering transitioning to a vegan lifestyle. Within this blog I hope to include a variety of topics of discussion, vegan recipes and reviews, and Australia specific guides to going vegan. I hope you enjoy the forthcoming posts, and feel free to contact me with any queries you have relating to veganism, either via instagram @veryhungryvegan or email [email protected].
