Cranberry Cookies - Vegan

Who does not love cookies? I loved and still do love cookies. 

Well, I have been ill the whole weekend and havent gone out of the house the whole weekend. I, honestly, do not have much food to eat at home :P but i wanted to have some cookies. So i made some because they are easy and quick.

Here they are, the super Cranberry cookies

 Ingredients:

 - 1 cup of grounded oat

- 1/2 cup of shredded coconut

- 2 medium very ripe bananas

- 1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder 

- 1/2 cup of dried cranberries

- 1/2 cup of raw almond nuts 

- 1 tbsp of maple or rice or agave syrup

- a pinch of salt

Process:

- Pre heat the ovem at 170 degree

- Mash the banana in a bowl by using a spoon to crush it. (didnt use the mixer or blender here because i didnt want the banana to be too watery. You want to keep the thickness level)

- Put everything in the mashed-banana bowl, WITHOUT cranberry and almonds

- Mix it well and even, Then put cranberry and almonds in, mix a lil more for 4-5 times

- Use your hand to make a cookie shape, then put them on the baking sheet.

Super Nutty-Fruity Greek yogurt

I do love yogurt! Especially Greek yogurt. Do you know this Greek yogurt comes with so many benefits?? Here are some benefits

1.  It has twice as much of protein than the usual yogurt
2.  Low carb! Lower than the usual yogurt definitely.
3.  Less lactose > easy to digest 
4.  Rich in versatility - because it is so thick and creamy. Many people start using it for baking, dipping, topping, and swapping with other non-sense food.  

If you have read many posts on my blog, you will know that i do love peanut butter! Therefore, i mix goodness with my pleasure :P and it was a great combination, i must say! 

I, simply, mix about 150-200 gram of Greek yogurt with 1 big table spoon of peanut butter in a blender. Blend it well together and it is ready! 

To get rid of your hunger and stay full longer, I would add more of oat muesli, fresh fruits, and almond nuts on top as well. I had this one as dinner. Perfect for my tummy, not big and dont make me feel fat when i go to bed.

For this one, I used 150 gram of Greek yogurt. Put it into the blender and mix it with 1 tsp of tahini. Then in a bowl, I also put in some pomegranates and mix it. Sometime, I love itextra crunchy. 

Greek yogurt with fruits is awesome! If you don't eat much fruits, this way can help you to eat more fruits. Fruits are great for your health and beauty! :)

Key-lime Kiwi pie (Raw & Vegan)

Woohoo finally I have blogger on my mobile devices!! This is gonna be so much easier to update more often! 

So this is the target for today! Key-lime kiwi.  I love how the topping is so soft and smooth and it literally feels like some cake frost but of course without sugary taste. I love it that it also a bit sour while the nut is so nutty mad sweet in a way. This is vegan and raw!!

Yes raw-vegan can be yummy! 

Ingredients

For the base

- 1 cup of raw almonds

- 1 tsp coconut oil

- 1 tbsp apple sauce 

- 1/2 cup of dates

For the top layer or the green frost

- 1 ripe avocado 

- 1 green kiwi

- 1 tsp lime juice (real fresh lime please)

- 1 tsp rice or any kind of syrup 

Process:

- Start with the base, crush the almonds in the high speed blender, after finely blended then add the rest 

- put in crust in your bowl or something you have that this pie can be made, not too big tho

- put the crust into the freezer while you are making the topping

-  put every ingredients for the green frost layer into a mixer then mix for 10 minutes, we want it finely smooth and soft looking 

- take out the crust then put this topping over it

- decorate with goji berries ( optional) 

- put it into the fridge overnight or few hours if you can't wait that long.

Doesnt the frost looks so nice and soft??!! Mmm yes it is nice and soft. 

Hope you like it! As you know if it's too sour from lime juice or kiwi, you can also add some more syrup to cut it off. Or slowly put lime juice in a bit first and if you want it more sour the add more. Since not everyone like lime or sour taste for the dessert then it's totally adjustable to your preferences! Be creative since all these recipes can always be adapted ;) get the idea, know the process, them off you go, make your healthy desserts and meals! 

Crunchy Peanut Butter-Oat Cookies (vegan & almost raw)

Once I have time, I have to update as many as I can. These recipes were pending to come on the blog

anyway! :P Sorry if I confuse you with many recipes all in once.

Last night, I made these cookies. I just went to buy creamy peanut butter from Denn’s then I thought

hmm what could I do with it?!?!? Then this idea came up, so I did it and they turned out yummy and
so creamy and nutty! Like how I love it :D

Produce:

- 3 big tbs creamy 100% peanut butter (organic would is an ideal)

- 1 tbs coconut oil

- 1 tbs rice syrup or any other syrup you have or honey

- 1 tbs of Chia seeds (optional)

- 1⁄2 cup of oats

Process:

- Put coconut oil and peanut butter in a slightly warm pan to melt it and mix it will together so

it is a little bit watery ***BUT If your peanut butter and coconut oil are already melted then you do not need this process***

- Mix all the produces together

- Put it on a plate or bowl and form it into square

- Leave in the fridge overnight (or 4 hours plus)

- In the morning before leaving your home, cut in into pieces

- Have them for your breakfast snacks to keep you full and energy boost! 

Really nutter and crispy inside. They are almost raw (since I use some small amount heat to melt the

coconut oil and peanut butter) and they are certainly vegan!!!!

Enjoy :D
