#flax pudding

[delicatedeebee]

May 7th: lunch

1 banana - mashed

Half tbsp of chia seeds and flax seeds, each - crushed in the blender together

Half cup soy milk

1 tbsp of roasted rice porridge powder

3 walnut brains

Pinch of cinnamon powder

This was made in the morning and kept in the fridge - the consistency is similar to chia pudding. Added the walnuts in the end, just before eating, for the crunch.

I like to mash the banana instead of blending it because I want a little thicker chunks of banana when I eat it, I don't like the consistency to be too smooth.

Fish curry - made with sponge gourd and potato (had 1 piece of fish and a bit of sponge gourd)

Salad - tomato, cucumber, onion, chickpeas, lemon juice, green chilli ( had a little bit) (no dressing, no salt, only lemon juice, the fish curry was salty enough for both)

Currently I am obsessed with fruit forks and ceramic soup spoons, hence using it to eat the chickpeas and the pudding.

Had this meal around 2.30pm.

Chia Pudding - Banana Chia Pudding Banana and chia seed pudding is a creamy and hearty snack made quickly with the assistance of a blender.

[plumslices]

When you have to eat particular foods for health reasons, what you lose in texture try to make up in flavor complexity + variety. I made a breakfast pudding with flax chia psyllium meal that I pre activated with boiling water, chocolate protein milk, coconut yogurt, almond milk, vanilla, salt. Once it’s cooled and ready in the morning, on top im going to add cocoa nibs, hemp hearts for nutty flavor and texture, a little more salt. Could also add more yogurt and peanut butter one morning. Different nuts and seeds, frozen or fresh fruit, granola, coconut shreds

Vegan Kin Food Ideas

S'up! So, we've been seeing a lot of kin food posts, but the focus is always on meat. Then when vegan or vegetarian options are listed it's like salad + fruit and that's it. We've been vegan for some years now so here's a list of things we eat that we think others might enjoy too!

A piece of advice we found helpful is to think about the food item you miss and break it down into what exactly you miss. If you miss eating gems, is it the appearance? The crunch? Gritty texture or dry taste? In that spirit of that, our list will be largely broken up by texture/experience.

Crunch Crunch Snacks

This includes snacks/sides that get your jaws working or have a satisfying "snap" to them.

Roasted chickpeas

Kale chips

Ants on a log (celery, peanut butter and raisins)

Hummus + baby bell peppers/sugar snap peas/carrots

Granola / cereals (a lot of types are vegan, read the ingredients before purchasing)

Banana chips

Nuts + seeds

Popcorn (avoid "buttery" packages, buy plain or kettle corn)

Peanut butter pretzels (crunchy outside, delicious soft inside)

Smartie candies

Keep your cookies/chocolate bars in the fridge or freezer

Also, load cookies up with extra nuts/seeds/choco chips

Soft, but with some crunch

This section is for dishes/sides that are overall easier on the teeth, but with elements that still crunch or snap. If you're looking for recipes that combine different texture elements check these out.

Lentil nachos + nacho cheese sauce

"Crunchwrap" (quesadilla made with refried beans and homemade cheese sauce that we open and place tortilla chips and lettuce inside after grilling)

Tempeh bacon (we like this on a BLT or grilled cheese sandwich)

Crispy tofu sandwiches

Grilled asparagus

Apple slices with nut butter

Pickles

Apple turnovers

Vegan sushi (there's a ton of recipes, check out these two collections to get started X, X)

Falafel (can be used a hundred different ways, sandwiches, wraps, on it's own, etc.)

Roasted chickpeas again, but with a caveat**: You can roast them at 350 F for 30 mins and they'll be cooked enough to pop between your teeth, but soft in the center. We like to either eat them as-is or top our salads with them. (We season with salt/pepper before going into the oven, nothing else) **Must be eaten after baking, they will not keep

For the foragers in the crowd

These dishes focus more on having either multiple different foods in a visible way or a tactile element to how you eat them.

Chia pudding

Smoothie bowls

Overnight oatmeal

Trail mix

Pumpkin bars (We replace the egg with a flax egg and use vegan butter)

Chocolate chip banana monkey bread

Corn on the cob

Grilled veggie kebabs

Cranberry cilantro quinoa salad

Chili

Bush's beans and rice

Salads topped with sliced fruit, nuts, grains and/or beans

Edamame (a favorite, we love pulling out the insides with our teeth, you can get ones without the pods if they bother you)

Plant-based burgers, the kinds with the chunks of veggies (our favorite is dr. praeger's black bean quinoa burgers)

Chewy Foods

This section is for foods that work your jaw, but more in a "needing to chew" way.

Potato gnocchi

Dried fruit (comes in all different flavors, not just raisins)

Swedish fish, red vines, skittles or sour patch kids

Granola bars (a lot of types are vegan, read the ingredients before purchasing)

Thick bread-y pizza (our favorite dough recipe)

Pancakes

Chewy chocolate chip cookies

Peanut butter cookies

Baked oatmeal

Potato skins

Meat Substitutes

The most obvious way to make a dish vegan is to sub in the appropriate mock meat. We've eaten quite a few and we won't sugar-coat it: a lot of them are either going to match the taste, texture, OR look. It's hard for mock meats to copy meat 1:1, some get way closer than others, but if you go into this expecting no difference you will be disappointed.

Our two favorite brands are Impossible and Gardein. We've tried a lot of their products and have yet to eat one we don't like.

These aren't your only options though!

Beans

Falafel (deep-fried balls of ground chickpea)

Tofu

Tempeh (fermented soybeans)

Seitan (made from wheat gluten)

Jack fruit

You might have guessed based on the recipes shared, but we usually opt for beans. We haven't eaten much seitan or jack fruit, but they are options. At our local grocery stores they're sold in the "free from" section and can be brought pre-seasoned and ready to cook with. Jack fruit in particular is a popular replacement for shredded pork.

The trick with a lot of these is to marinate them. Tofu in particular so you can infuse it with flavor. Here's a few recipes we love:

Lentil and sweet potato loaf ("Neat"loaf)

Marinated tofu

Crispy tofu sandwiches

Tempeh bacon

Chili (our mom's recipe that we modified)

Soft / Squish

For things that are soft or squishy and you can slurp up.

Seaweed salad

miso soup

Pico de Gallo Black Bean Soup

"Nice" cream

Chocolate mousse

Oatmeal

Popsicles

Applesauce

Brownie batter hummus

Chia seed jam

Lavender syrup (to flavor other drinks, we use it in coffee)

Lavender lemonade (final product will be a light brown color)

Mashed potatoes + Gravy

Slow cooker apple cider

Tofu scramble

JUST egg

Non-dairy mac and cheese (our favorite brand is the upton's)

Smoothies (if you're looking for a protein powder to include, we recommend Vega)

**Just a reminder to supplement for B12 if you're consuming a vegan diet. There are some foods that are fortified with it; however, a supplement is cheap, easy to find and all-around a more reliable way to ensure you are getting enough.

Great Skin from Within: A Guide to Clearing Your Skin With Food 

Photo from BeBeautiful.in

In order to have great skin you have to take care of it not only from the outside but from within. So what do I mean by this? Taking care of your skin from within means that you must nourish your body with healthy food. Diets filled with fried foods and foods with too much sugar can cause breakouts, redness, excessive dryness or oiliness, etc. This doesn’t mean that you have to give up your favorite foods, you can still enjoy your favorite snacks in moderation. Here are some great foods to add to your diet that will help you get clear, healthy skin in no time! 

Omega 3 Fatty Acids 

These fatty acids help your skin stay hydrated and also help preserve collagen in your skin which keeps it supple, firm, and more youthful. These acids can also smooth dry, flaky skin. 

The best source for omega-3 fatty acids are fish like salmon, tuna, and mackerel

Flaxseeds and chia seeds- add ground flax seeds to smoothies and shakes or try making a delicious chia seed pudding 

Soybeans- tofu 

Walnuts- add to oatmeal, smoothies, cereal  

Antioxidants 

Foods rich in antioxidants can reduce the risk of many diseases, help clear your skin, and boost your overall health. Try incorporating some of these delicious foods in your diet: 

Fruits such as peaches, cherries, apples, watermelon, papaya 

All berries, especially blueberries 

Vegetables such as carrots, dark leafy greens, broccoli, artichokes 

Green tea 

Now that you know more about what foods can help you achieve clear, glowy skin, let’s dive into some easy recipes. 

Green Smoothie Recipe

This smoothie is filled with amazing ingredients that can boost your overall health and clear your skin. 

2 cups of spinach

1 cup of almond milk 

½ cup of plain greek yogurt 

½  cup of strawberries 

½ blueberries 

½ banana 

¼ cup of walnuts 

Blend it all up, pour the smoothie into your favorite cup, and enjoy :)

The Best Chia Seed Pudding 

Chia seeds have so many amazing benefits. They are filled with omega-3 fatty acids, they can aid in digestion, and help clear up your skin. My favorite way to add more chia seeds to my diet is to make a chia seed pudding. Here is the recipe: 

2 tbsp. Chia seeds 

½ of almond or any milky of your choice 

1 tsp. of honey or any sweetener you like 

Whatever toppings you like I like adding strawberries, blueberries, and bananas 

Pour the chia seeds, milk, and sweetener into a container and mix until well combined. Then let it rest for a few minutes before mixing everything together one more time. Add your favorite toppings and you are ready to enjoy a delicious breakfast! 

Key Takeaways

Remember that having a great skin care routine that works for you is only one part of the process to getting clear, glowy skin. You must also take care of your diet and health. You don’t have to eat sad looking salads to get clear skin, eat whatever foods you like that will nourish your body and keep you healthy.

Genuine question--how do Windclan cats get from grain to dough? Do they steal eggs?

You don't need eggs for a flatbread! All they need is dough, flaxseed oil, and a dash of coltsfoot salt.

There's a couple ways to get from grain to dough. Once the grain is ground up into flour, you only need salt, oil, and water.

This video shows the cook frying the dough-- but WindClan bakes it. They have more than enough access to flax to do some frying though. In the Forest Territories they had the Mothermouth Moorland, and in the Lake Territories they have the Southern Delta.

The most annoying thing to source of these basic ingredients is actually the salt! Coltsfoot (or dandelion but from what I've researched coltsfoot produces a lot more) needs to be burned away, leaving behind a collection of salty minerals.

I've been trying to do research into if it's possible to extract salt from blood, however, since WindClan eats an OBSCENE amount of rabbits and would have lots of that on hand. Blood pudding is going to be a must, but I'm wondering if it could replace the coltsfoot salt.

When they can source eggs, they happily use them. There's nesting birds on the moor, but RiverClan and ThunderClan are usually happy to trade and they tend to have way more eggs available. RiverClan is more likely to trade, since their Clan's demand for eating duck and goose eggs is much lower than the supply.

bat kin vegetarian food ideas? Seeds are good if anything based on those. Fruit is okay but avoid raspberries and similar looking ones. Sensory reasons. Thank youuu

I'll try my best!

Easy low-effort meal, overnight oats edition:

Making this recipe requires very little physical energy and very few decisions to be made, so I’ve been able to make it even on bad symptom days and/or in depressive episodes. Oats have a lot of health benefits that especially apply to fibromyalgia issues, including: regulating blood sugar levels, improving gut health and digestion, improving energy levels, providing plenty of fiber and nutrients, and they’re not inflammatory & gluten free. Same goes for the add-ins tbh, which also have a good amount of omegas and protein. You can personalize it based on what sounds good to you or what you have.

Tools:

Big container with lid (I use my 7 cup pyrex)

Spatula for mixing

1/2 cup measuring cup

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups quick oats (I use Robin Hood minute oats)

1/4 cup ground flax

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup hemp hearts

Pinch salt

Sprinkle of cinnamon to taste (optional, but supposedly anti-inflammatory)

1 cup greek yogurt (I like vanilla extra creamy, but mix it up sometimes. I always get extra creamy though bc I like the thickness, and it has the most protein.)

1 cup oat milk (or whatever milk situation you have.)

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey, and can use more to taste.)

Method:

Put all the dry ingredients into your container. I just eyeball the 1/4 cup by using half of the 1/2 cup so I only dirty one thing.

Give it a stir with the spatula until it looks evenly mixed.

Use the spatula to scoop yourself a cup of yogurt (again, I use two of the same 1/2 and the same spatula.)

Add in the oat milk.

Add in the maple syrup.

Stir it all up until it’s evenly incorporated. It’ll be thick, more like a pudding. And that’s it lol put it in the fridge.

To serve:

Wait at least four hours, but this will keep like a week if you don’t finish it before that.

It’ll be even thicker after sitting with those chia seeds. I think of it almost like an oatmeal concentrate lol - I scoop out however much I want into a little bowl, add in more oat milk, and mush it out to create a more classic oatmeal consistency. This stretches it out so you don’t have to make it as often.

If you want, you can also add extra maple syrup/honey to your individual portion, and/or a little sprinkle of cinnamon.

Again feel free to customize if you want to add anything in like nuts, dry fruit, flavors, etc but also it’s great like this if you don’t wanna think about it!

Any day you manage to feed yourself is a good day, and you’re doing a great job! <3

Here it is my darlings. The perfect chocolate vanilla flapjack which delivers in moist, gooey softness and deep chocolate action.

From v1, I removed chicory and chocolate, replaced half the black treacle with a paler syrup. I had maple which pushed the cost per unit up to 33p but it still is cheaper than the LIDL offer. A swap with golden syrup would make it 25p.

The main difference was mix thickness and cooking method. Mix needs to be at least a finger thick and I did the first stage of baking in a bain marie to stop the sugar caramalising hard. The baking dish was covered with foil throughout so there's no crispy brown top - though there is a chewy crust.

Am I painfully aware of the irony of a cosy cottage bake like flapjack needing a french cooking method to get to the same moisture and texture as a product made in a factory? Why yes. Yes I am.

You will need to check it regularly because ovens are wily beasts. I checked mine every 5 mins towards the end to get these timings so YMMV depending on if you know whether your oven runs hot or not.

I will be attempting a v3 without a bain marie because it is a little faffy, and with golden syrup instead of maple because that stuff is pricey but it was what I had in the house.

100g GF oats

50g margarine

50g sugar

25g black treacle

25g maple syrup

2 tsp cocoa

2 pudding spoons of mixed flax and sunflower seeds in accordance with your preference - I went heavier on the sunflower seeds

Pinch salt

Drop vanilla extract

* Melt the fat and sugars in a pan, turn off the heat

* Add cocoa, seeds, salt and vanilla extract

* Add oats, stir well until some of the oats break up and you have a soft texture

* Leave mix to soak for 10mins

* Oven to GM 4

* Grease the smaller dish, put oat mix in - it should be a finger thick, cover with foil

* Boil the kettle and put water in the larger dish

* Put your smaller dish in the bath

* Put both in oven for 15mins

* Remove. Take smaller dish out and put on oven shelf like a normal person

* Bake for another 15 mins

* Test with a needle / pin - this should come out clean from the centre with nothing wet sticking to it, if that's the case then return to oven

* Leave to cool

Protein Overnight Oats

50g quick oats or rolled oats

30g protein powder

water

1 pinch of salt

toppings of your choice

Put your oats & a pinch of salt into a jar you can close with a lid and pour boiling water over them until they are covered. Let them sit for a few minutes until they have absorbed the water.

Basically that's the basic oats recipe, you could have them right now or store them in the fridge to have the next day, but they are plain, right?

That's why...

The scoop of protein powder now is added with more water until it's covered. Shake the jar until all is well combined and looks like chocolate milk. I used a vegan protein powder here that kind needs more water! If you use a whey you need less water or you can use milk even. I don't add milk because with the protein powder you basically have ... the milk protein on its own.

Let it now sit in the fridge overnight. It's good for 3 days max! Don't let it sit in the fridge for longer it will go bad.

It should have thicken up now. If it needs more water, add a bit and shake. Pour into a bowl or take the jar with you to have it at work (you can put your toppings into the jar or a seperate box to add them later on).

Finished oats.

For more fun and variety add toppings like chia (pudding), nuts, fruits, fruit compot or even jam!

Some suggestions:

Buttom ones were made with a vanilla protein. It works with every protein you like.

My prefered ratio of added nuts is 10g, as nuts can add up fast, but the texture of the nuts enhance the flavor of the oats nicely. Also I like to add fruit for more variety. That's how you can change your oats every day, let alone different nuts or spices (like you can see I added cinnamon) can make a great difference with little effort.

I have a special jar for overnight oats but you can use whatever jar with a lid you have, if you have a scale you can measure the oats or just go by eyeballing it. It's easy to figure out how much will satisfy you.

My base recipe for myself is actually 40g oats, 30g protein, 10g nuts, 1 piece of fruit (if small more) and chia/flax seeds (1 tsp).

Vegan Savory Nettle Bread Pudding

[asplantbasedasican]

do you have a recipe for the cinnamon rolls?? they look amazing

hey yes!

its my best baking outcome ever, so im happy to share

dough: 600g all-purpose flour, 1 tsp tumeric, 7g dried yeast, inch of salt, 1/3 cup sugar, 120g vegan sour cream, soy milk (i added it gradually so i dont know how much was it in the end), flax egg

filling: 1tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon, 3 peaches, skin on cause i wouldnt bother taking it off, boil them down with a splash of soy milk until they get creamy and silky

drizzle: 1/2 packet vanilla pudding, 1 tbsp sugar, 150 g soy milk, boil it until it gets thick and stir in 30g of vegan sour cream until it gets looser but still creamy

for the dough as usual, first adding yeast to warm milk, then stir in the rest of the ingredients forming the dough ball, then knead it for a while, i dont know what is considered too much but i did have fun with it for some 30 minutes on the counter top, i then greased it and put it to rest for two hours on the counter. after the two hours i kneaded it again for a couple of minutes, rolled it into a rectangle and spread the filling on, rolled it tightly and cut it with a knife, placed the rolls in a greased sheet pan and into the fridge overnight, baked them in the morning. then while still warm drizzled the drizzle, which i prepared when i put them in the oven, so they took 30 minutes baking and the drizzle could cool down in the fridge.

[cyprusresidentinspe]
