Vegan Receipe - 'Saucy Sausage' - Vegan Yellow Cornflour 'Sausages' - Just 3 Ingredients!









This receipe is identical to my vegan corn flour 'chicken' except that the dough is rolled into sausage shapes instead of patty shapes.


They are pictured on this page served on a bed of salad with mango and chayote dressing.


They really do tasty like sausages! They are lightly crisp on the outside and nice and meaty on the inside, they remind me slightly of Linda McCartney's Sausages.

I tend to make my food by eyeballing the ingredients so adjust ingredients according to taste.

○Yellow cornflour (Juana Brand, Maiz Cascado)
○Pink Rock Salt
○Black Pepper 







To make the yellow corn flour vegan sausages:

Pour yellow corn flour into a mixing bowl.

Grind in some pink sea salt.



Grind in some black pepper.



Pour in some water little by little and form a dough. You can always add more water or cornflour if initially it's too wet or too dry.

 



You want a firm but moist dough. Once you have the desired texture you can then split into sections and roll into a ball with your hands.


Tear into rough balls and roll between your hands into sausage shapes.



Once firmed fry in a little oil until brown on both sides.

Vegan Receipe - 'Tropica' - Papaya & Bananas Smoothie Bowl - Just 3 Ingredients!





This is my go to fuss free super simple smoothie bowl.

I'm currently in Costa Rica and the bananas and papayas here taste out of this world. So much flavour than the ones available in the UK!

For this smoothie bowl I simply blended x4 medium sized bananas with x1 medium sized papaya and some ginger. I only added a little water as I wanted it thicker so that it's more of a dessert consistency.

A truly delicious sweet and filling smoothie bowl which keeps me going till lunch!

Vegan Receipe - 'Chicken-ish' - Gluten Free Vegan 'Chicken' - Just 3 Ingredients! - Chicken Alternative








This is a receipe for a quick simple and tasty vegan 'chicken' made from yellow cornflour.

They can be eaten either sweet or savoury. I n this case I made the vegan chicken itself savoury and served one portion with side salad and the other was topped with bananas which was a nice combination of sweet and savoury!

I tend to make my food by eyeballing the ingredients so these are not official measurements! Adjust ingredients according to taste.

You want a firm but moist dough. Once you have the desired texture you can then split into sections and roll into a ball with your hands.

 


Place the balls on a plastic surface (like a freezer bag) and squish with your the palm of your hands then peel off. You want rough shapes and if they come out uneven this actually helps them to look more like chicken when they fry!



Heat up some oil and fry the patties on each side until they are a light golden brown.









These vegan 'chicken' burgers are very filling and satisfying and also extremely versatile.

You could also use the pieces as burger buns and put salad inbetween them.

If you do try them let me know your thoughts and whether you ate them sweet or savoury

Vegan Plantain Breakfast - Raw Meets Cooked





Above is the breakfast I had one morning when I was really hungry!

The above meal is made up of a salad of tomatoes, cucumber, grated carrots and rough chunks of mango and then topped with fried ripe plantains. 

I ate most of the salad before I took the picture😒

All in all a nutrious meal which would have been better if I had baked the plantains.

Below is a quick reminder of the nutritional benefits of each food item.

Vegan Receipe - 'Naughty but Nice' - Raw Chayote Salad with Black Refried Beans




I am high raw and eat approx 85%-90%raw the majority of the time. 


Sometimes this can drop down to 50/50 but even at 50/50 I still reap the many health benefits I didn't have when I was eating 100% cooked vegan meals.


This chayote salad features some processed food in the form of black refried beans.
The salad is made up of:

○Chayote

○Lettuce
○Papaya Seeds
○Black Refried Beans 










Initially I only filled the pepper with the refried beans but the refried beans tasted so good so I added more to the salad!


And voila...a simple tasty filling salad with some naughtiness!



The raw vegerables has a cleansing effect to the effects of the refried beans so I didn't get as much of the tired feeling that I would have got if I had eaten it with rice or other grains.
