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. 

HOMEMADE FLATBREAD with SESAME FALAFEL , GUACAMOLE & SEITAN VEGGIES / vegan

Wooaaah. Woah. Okay, honestly, this is all I can say about this creation above. It is so good no words can describe it. I made the falafels for dinner yesterday and they were better when I ate them fresh, so even if the whole thing might take a while, it is definitely worth it! 

Okay, here are some more pictures of the most delicious dish eveeerrrr:

And here are the recipes: They taste amazing on their own but if you want to take it to the next level, combine them all and let the party in your mouth begin! 

You can use the flat bread with a lot of things like peanut butter, jam or your favorite savory spread (try hummus!).

Falafel are often made with chickpeas (like 99,9% of the time) but if you can't have ANY legumes, having falafel is very very difficult (if not impossible). This is a super easy low-histamine recipe is perfect for so many allergies, it's nut free, gluten free, oil free & regardless of the free-of-anything-ingredient-list it actually tastes super good!

Thumbs up for Seitan! Did you know that 100g contain 75 grams of PROTEIN!? Crazy! 

PESTO BEET SANDWICH // vegan

This quick & easy recipe is perfect for a yummy lunch when you're short on time and have the pesto ready-to-use in your fridge. I really encourage you to try the pesto, it's my favorite recipe and I make it as often as possible (it only lasts two days in our household because my mom likes it just as much). Of course, you can add anything you wish onto your sandwich like tomatoes, bell pepper, carrot & more but I love this simple combination best. Hope you enjoy! 

COCO KISS SMOOTHIE // vegan

I had this smoothie at the pool bar in Sri Lanka a couple of weeks ago. It was delicious that I wrote down the ingredients so I could recreate - and healthify - it at home. They used artificial ingredients like mango syrup, maracuja syrup and grenadine and that's not what goes into my blender! Here's how the original version looked like: 

The smoothie was called 'Coco Kiss' and I found the name so cute I'm gonna steal it. Hope you like this healthy , protein-rich post workout smoothie as much as I do!
