23.01.2022 SUPERFOOD POWDERS . . Integrating nutrient dense powders into your diet may boost energy and strengthen your immune system, among many other benefits. But we all know that the taste of these powders are not always the best, what makes it difficult to consume on a regular basis. .... . While most people just add it to smoothies or energy bowls, I try to use it in different and creative ways. . . Tapioca crepe is an option that I always like to have for breakfast, but the nutritional value in this dish usually comes from the variety of fillings that can be used, as the tapioca crepe is made only from tapioca starch and water. . . My tip here is to use superfood powders when hydrating the tapioca. Normally we use 500g of tapioca starch and 300ml of water. So instead of using only water, I blended a cup of fresh spinach, 2 tablespoons of spirulina and 280ml of water. A simple way to use superfood powders and turn a nutritionally poor recipe into a more nutrient dense one. . . #spirulina #superfoods #superfoodpowders #healthyfood #healthyrecipes #plantbaseddiets #plantbasednutrition #veganknowledge #veganbreakfastideas #tapiocacrepes #veganfoodshare #cheftips #plantbasedchef #healthyforlife #cookingwithlove #cookingwithpurpose See more

23.01.2022 Every time I visit an asian grocery store I get a different ingredient that I've never tried before. This week I got a packet of lotus root. Lotus root is actually the stem found underneath the blooms of the lotus flower, it's a starchy vegetable similar to potatoes. These roots are peeled, thinly sliced, and can be fried, stewed, or stir-fried. I decided to make it in the air-fryer. 180C for about 10 minutes, seasoned with just salt. Success!! It remains crisp yet... tender. Great option for a healthy snack (if not deep fried in oil!), full of minerals and vitamins. Should I add a meal to the menu with this ingredient? See more

21.01.2022 A short story of my journey as a vegan chef... If someone had told me 10 years ago that I would become a chef, I never would have believed it. I was happily working as a personal trainer and loved my career. But then I decided to move to Australia and everything changed. I got my first job in a commercial kitchen in 2013, washing dishes. In 2015 I got my chef qualifications and soon after, I was running a kitchen of a popular Gold Coast restaurant. ... In 2016 I stopped eating meat, and my journey to a vegan lifestyle began. I gained experience experimenting with different ingredients and reading a lot. Everything I learned and shared here is self-taught. Not long after, I realised that my job as a regular chef was making me feel disconnected from my essence and values, so I created Planty in the end of 2017, to support people through a healthier and more compassionate lifestyle. #veganchef #veganlifestyle #cheflife #chefsofinstagram #vegancooking #veganbusiness #plantbasedlifestyle #plantbasedcooking #cookingwithplants #cookingwithpurpose #compassionateliving #cookingwithlove #veganknowledge #vegan

14.01.2022 PLANT-BASED MEAT SUBSTITUTES . . Plant-based meat substitutes are products that take the place of meat in the human diet and have an appearance, texture and taste similar to meat products. While not as healthful as whole plants, they provide a good amount of protein and are useful transition foods. .... . As suggested by our clients, we will be creating more meals using meat substitutes. Textured protein products take on the flavour of whatever ingredients you are cooking with, so the options are endless. . . This 'beef' Rendang with yellow rice is on the menu, don't forget to add it to your next order! . . #veganmeals #plantbasedprotein #meatsubstitutes #texturedvegetableprotein #plantbasedcooking #vegannutrition #balancedvegandiet #healthymeals #whatveganseat #veganchef #fooddeliveryservice #cookingwithlove See more

12.01.2022 Many of the plants that we consume contain high amounts of phytic acid. Phytate (phytic acid) is an enzyme inhibitor, referred to as "anti-nutritional" factor, reducing our ability to absorb nutrients. Phytase is an essential enzyme necessary for the digestive process, helping to reduce the negative effects of phytic acid in the body. Soaking raw nuts, grains, legumes and seeds activates phytase, which breaks down phytate, decreasing flatulence and making digestion lig...hter. Also, phytate is water-soluble, so some leaches into the soaking water that gets discarded. Sprouting after soaking makes it lose even more phytate, as sprouting reproduces the natural process of germination, which drops phytate levels. #plantfoods #nutritionalfacts #soakingbeforecooking #phyticacid #betterdigestion #nutrientsabsorption #nutritionaltips #eatingplants #grainsandlegumes #nutsandseeds #veganknowledge

11.01.2022 Start the day with a high-protein breakfast. . . If your first meal is well balanced and contains adequate protein, you're more likely to maintain stable blood sugar levels and not overeat for the rest of the day. .... . Tofu is considered a complete protein as it contains all essential amino acids and it is a good source of both iron and calcium, which makes tofu scramble the perfect example of a balanced breakfast. . . #healthydiet #veganbreakfast #plantbasednutrition #planyourmeals #balanceddiet #nutritiousbreakfast #plantbasedmeals #veganprotein #thriveonplants #startyourdayright See more

08.01.2022 SEASONAL COOKING . . Each season brings with it a whole new larder of lovely produce to enjoy. .... . These days, it's almost impossible to talk about inspired cooking without talking about seasonality. Choosing and working with the right ingredients isn't hard, but it does require a little know-how and planning. . . Start by shopping local - visit the nearest farmers market, as they will be always selling what they can grow, you don't need to guess what is in season. Preserve whenever possible - Preserving ingredients at the height of ripeness helps them keep better and maintain their flavour, it's time to get canning, pickling and freezing. Plan/try different recipes with the same ingredient. . . Tip: pumpkins are really good and cheap at the moment. I've been making shepherd's pie with mashed pumpkin and potato as pictured, pumpkin mac and cheese, pumpkin soup, spiced pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin bread... What's your favourite recipe that includes pumpkin? . . #seasonalvegetables #seasonalcooking #autumnvegetables #shoppinglocal #freshveggies #pumpkin #pumpkinlovers #cheftips #wholefoods #plantbasednutrition #plantbasedcooking #cookingwithlove #veganfoodshare #veganmeals #veganchef #goldcoastfarmersmarket See more

02.01.2022 Quite often I get asked by omnivores why vegans want to eat realistic meat analogues. "Just eat the real thing if you want it so much", they say. Well, I'm afraid they are missing the point here. Most people who decide to avoid animal products are not doing so because they simply dislike the taste or texture of meat. It's assumed that the values involved in the decision to stop consuming animal products are more important than taste preferences. Meat substitutes are gre...at allies for those who are making the transition to veganism. It's also very helpful when veganising traditional recipes, like the pictured 'Beef' Bourguignon. #reflectionoftheday #veganlifestyle #veganisedlife #meatsubstitutes #fakemeat #vegantastesbetter #vegantastebuds #adjustingtastebuds #meatfreemeals #veganchefs #cookingwithpurpose #cookingwithlove
