Vegan Coconut Protein Cupcakes w/ Coconut Frosting

Hey peeps, 

let's talk cupcakes. They haven't been a big thing in Germany when I was little (okay that sounds like I'm old haha). I think the first time I actually tasted and made them was about 10 years ago when I did some serious research about what fancy thing to do for my birthday party. I died the frosting blue and pink and green it they were delicious. 

Wholegrain Vegan Waffles - simple and oil free

Hola guys, it's me again with another ... breakfast recipe! 

I'm happy you found your way here and I really you try this recipe out since it's the bomb, seriously. 

I just recently started making waffles and my first attempts to get them nice and crispy seemed to fail in many ways. They weren't fluffy or crispy or anything good. But after experimenting a bit with different ingredients and measures, I can finally present you my first vegan high carb low fat and super simple waffle recipe to knock you out of your socks. Ready?

Raw Vegan Spiced Walnut Cookies

Hey peeps it's me again!

So lately I've been into healthy eating and working out again. Over the last few months I kinda let that slip a bit and I noticed a decrease in my energy, bad skin, loosing muscle and so on. So I decided to hop back on track and start early with my new years resolutions this time. No more heaps of hummus (but still more than I should eat, probably), tons of white bread, vegan chocolate, candy and so on. But that doesn't mean I can't have great Christmas cookies, right?

May I present you the easiest Christmas cookies ever? These take literally 15 minutes. And with just 4 basic ingredients for the base you might even have everything on hand to make them right now. You should. Really.

Oh and I've got a new marble cutting board that will be my new fave back drop!

Now into the recipe...

The Perfect Veggie Protein Bowl

Sometimes it's hard to go to uni, have a job, volunteer, workout, have friends and a relationship all at the same time and try to find time to cook healthy, nutritious food that my mind and body love. In stressful times like the weeks before Christmas, when you're rushing from one appointment to another and rarely find the time to sit down, I find it more important than ever to make sure, you're feeding your body right. Cause how can you perform at your best when the foods you eat make you feel the worst?

I just recently discovered frozen veggies. I don't know why I never considered buying a package of frozen broccoli before but somehow I just missed hopping on that wagon. Yes, I know that was extremely silly of me because frozen veggies are now what some might call "life".

There is one dish I have been making quite regularly in the last few weeks: The Veggie Protein Bowl!

There are 4 main components to it and they are so easy and literally take 15 minutes to throw together!

White Chocolate Macadamia Protein Bars

Hey guys,

I'm back with another protein-packed recipe that is perfect on the go for all of you busy babes working, going to uni or school. Wrapped up in parchment paper this bar looks like you just bought it at that hip vegan café around the corner for 5 bucks - and it tastes just as good if not better.

A special thanks goes to Nutrition Plus for providing me again with the perfect protein powder for this creation.

Healthy & Easy Vegan Pancakes with Chocolate Sauce

I've been making pancakes for quite some time now. Even when I used to eat animal products, I tried making vegan pancakes a lot. For me, it always was "the ultimate goal" to make good vegan pancakes, because in the beginning it seemed unpossible to make them taste good, look good and healthy at the same time. I experimented a lot (a lot is to come!) with different flours, wet ingredients, egg substitutes, sweeteners, etc. until I finally found was works absolutely perfect every time.

BEAUTIFUL ACAI SMOOTHIE // vegan & healthy

This smoothie is one of the BEST smoothies I had in a while. It is so creamy, yummy and sweet plus it contains one of the healthiest berries on earth: Acai!

But, what's all that fuss really about? "The acai (ah-sigh-EE) berry is a grapelike fruit harvested from acai palm trees, which are native to the rainforests of South America." (mayoclinic.org). Many people say the berry helps and promotes weight loss, but there aren't many studies to prove that. What can be said however is that it contains a lot of antioxidants, which are known to keep your skin young and healthy and might even help prevent cancer by inhibiting the oxidation of other molecules in your body, which produce free radicals. Those molecules can start chain reactions (wikipedia.org/wiki/antioxidants). 

HOMEMADE COCONUT YOGHURT // vegan / gluten free / soy free

My first attempt on making coconut yoghurt was a major fail. It did not thicken or get the "fresh" yoghurt-like taste the probiotics develop. It was coconut milk with sugar and a weird smell to it.

Being very discouraged, I never tried making it again (and totally forgot about it, too) until a few days ago. 

I recently moved out from home (*insert crying emoji*) to Germany's vegan capital: Berlin. I'm sharing my apartment with 3 others: one fellow vegan, one paleo-vegan (who eats eggs) and a vegetarian. You see, a lot is going on in our kitchen! 

One night, I talked to my flatmate and he mentioned he wanted to try making coconut yogurt. The former disaster shortly crossed my mind but after a quarter of a second I was all in. 

He had already gotten the probiotics and I brought arrowroot starch with me (along with a million of other things you use once a year to make fancy schmancy stuff but hey - thanks to my food messieness we had a starch to work with) when I moved in. 

PEANUT BUTTER CHOC CHIP MUFFINS // vegan / oil free / soy free

Woa. These are ah-may-zing. 

When I turned 18, my best friends got me a gift coupon on of my favorite restaurants around here. They serve delicious thai food on a very high standard. We had some problems finding a time when everybody was free (I'm moving to Berlin and they're moving as well) but we arranged a lunch date today. 

Yesterday evening Jule asked me if I had any healthy dessert left around but unfortunately I hadn't (or shall I say fortunately because that's why I made these?). However, that only motivated me to make these super moist and easy vegan muffins your family and friends are going to fall in LOVE with. I promise. They're inspired by a recipe the gorgeous Tess Begg posted on her YouTube a few days ago. Make sure to check that out as well for a video demonstration. 

CHAI SPICED PROTEIN SMOOTHIE BOWL // vegan

After a month of vacation in Spain, at a festival and in Sri Lanka, I slipped off the healthy wagon quite a bit. Fortunately, I'm back home, back in my kitchen that is filled with health foods, fruit and vegetables, making it super easy to hop back on. 

That's why I created this amazing Chai Spiced Smoothie Bowl with a little extra protein punch, which will make you forget the taste of fries and other processed foods. 

I topped mine with blueberries, currants and oat and spelt crunchies! I hope you like it!
