Indian food is a long-time favorite in our house. The whole family is in love with the smell these wonderful spices spread through the house while cooking. It’s really healthy food for your body and soul. Also the variety of vegan recipes is huge, and many others can easily be adapted to be vegan. For the following recipe, I used organic red lentils and fresh curcuma root, but you can also use curcuma powder if you can’t find the fresh one. Lentils are known for their great nutritional value and high content of protein, which is not only valuable for vegetarians and vegans, but important for any healthy diet. Those tiny round legumes in combination with curcuma and ginger will nourish your body at its best.
If you’re a chocolate lover, this mousse is made for you! The texture is fluffy, rich, and creamy, all in one spoon. I used 78% dark chocolate, which gives the mousse a delicious rich and slightly bitter flavor. This dessert is the healthy vegan and sugar-free option to a regular chocolate mousse.
This sardine and caper dip is a great savory snack that we often enjoy with my homemade spicy beetroot chips, zucchini chips, and some fresh cut veggies. The combination of the salty, fishy, and sour flavor goes very nicely with the spicy and earthy flavor of the chips and veggies.
What is your favorite savory snack after dinner? We often enjoy some nuts with a nice glass of wine in the evenings, especially cashew nuts or pistachios. We usually stay away from chips or crackers because they are usually loaded with unhealthy fats and other ingredients. I know that some better options are available now, but how about making your own?! That way you can choose the spices and oils, and you can use a healthy method for making your homemade chips: using a dehydrator – no deep-frying or baking needed.
This shake doesn’t only boost your immune system with lots of vitamin C, it also helps cleanse, hydrate, and detoxify your body.
My kids have all been down with a nasty flu. It’s bad to have one sick kid at home, but can you imagine three of them? It was a nightmare! I tried to feed them food with high amounts of immune boosting and anti-inflammatory properties, but they didn’t felt like eating at all. The only thing they liked was freshly prepared blood orange juice.
