Vegan Breakfast - ´Popeye Meets Papaya´ - Choclate Oats W Papaya & Spinach

You´ll have to take my word for it when I say that this strange combination is delicious!

The colour palette is vibrant and uplifting!

Chocolate oats with mashed banana, fresh papay and new zealand spinach.

At first glance it looks like a savoury dish but it´s all sweet. The choclate oats has mashed banana blended in, the papaya is super sweet and juicy and the new zealand spinach is fresh, crisp and has a mild flavour that compliments the choclate oats and sweet papaya.

This is super quick and easy to prepare. I really do love simple breakfasts!

Add greens to breakfast is a great way to get additional nutrients wihtout having to always have salads.

Looks crazy mixed together but the appearance doesn´t diminish the amazing flavours in any way shape or form!

Below are ome nutritional benefits then as always some more food porn pics!

Vegan Breakfast - Banana Boat - Pineapple Oats W Blueberry Mix

A simple super yummy breakfast made of overnights oats which were soaked in freshly blended pineapply juice (incuding pulp) x1 large banana and a sprinkling of cranberry, blueberry and nut mix.

The bananas was super swee. As Costa Rican fruits are so sweet I find that I don`t need to add any sweetner of any kind to my breakfasts or desserts, I let the sweetness of the fruits act as the sugar.

The pineapple that I used to soak the oats in was more than sweet enough and the banana and dried fruit added extra sweetness.

A healthy nourishing and satisfying breakfast that kept me going till late afternoon.

Vegan Dessert - 'Chocolate Popeye' - Bananas, Spinach & Cacao Dessert

Chocolate pudding for dinner, this was another one of my dessert for dinner evenings!

What might not be obvious to see is that there is spinach in there! Yep I threw a handful of spinaach into the mix. 

What I love about this is that you can't taste the spinach! Aso it blends into the background and you have strain to see the green flecks.

The great thing about ripe bananas is that they are so sweet that you dont need any sweetener of any kind. They provide a nice creamy thickness too, the best of both worlds.

To make this scrummy dessert you will need:

○Bananas x4

○New Zealand spinach or regular spinach x1 handful

○Cacoa powder x1 tablespoon

○Granola with raisins

○Ginger

As always I like to look at the nutritional benefits of ingredients used.

One last look at the chocolatey yumminess!

Raw Vegan Breakfast - 'Mangolicious' - Overnight Oats W Mango Chunks

A variation on my 'Fruity Date' Overnight Oats.

For this overnight oats bowl I blended x6 dates with water and poured the mixture over the dry oats and stirred through. 

The oats where then placed in the fridge over night and then in the morning I stirred the oats which were nice and creamy and then added some freshly chopped mango chunks.

An easy, delicious filling breakfast! Packed full of nutrients, the perfect way to start your day.

Raw Vegan Breakfast - 'Pining' - Pineapple & Papaya Overnight Oats

This is a variation on my 'Fruity Date' overnight oats. 

For this overnight bowl I blended fresh pineapple chunks with a little water and poured the whole mixture (including pulp) onto the oats and stirred through. 

The next morning I added some fresh pineapple chunks and topped with some freshly chopped papaya.

 I judged the amount of freshly blended pineapple to add by how easy it was to mix as I am an eyeballing kind of girl.

 It was easy to mix but not too easy, the most common ratio is 1 cup of water to 1 cup of oats ratio.

I love how quick and easy this breakfast was to prepare. Such a filling, super tasty, raw and nutrious breakfast, a great way to start the day! 

Vegan Receipe - 'Ripe N Ready' - Raw Ripe Plantain & Avocado Salad

In a previous post I showed a simple combo of raw plantains with sliced habernero peppers and sea vegetable seasoning.

That was first time eating raw plantain and I liked it so much that I thought I would have it again!

Thus time I added my beloved avocados and some coriander as well the same sea vegetable seasoning and habernero peppers again.

SALAD INGREDIENTS

○Ripe Plantains x2

○Avocados x2 small

○Habernero peppers x6

○Ginger

○Coriander 

○Algamar Sea Vegetable Seasoning 

This time the spiciness is not as obvious due to the creaminess of the avocados and yummy coriander flavour.

A delicious and nutrious filling lunch!
