ingRedients
1 head cauliflower
(500 g cooked)
2 bananas
2 tbsp cacao powder
100 g soy yogurt
2 tbsp coconut sugar
1½ tsp agar-agar
(vegan gelatin)
method
Cook or steam cauliflower
until soft. Then put all
ingredients in a high-speed
blender and pulse until
smooth. Serve in a bowl and
add your favorite toppings.
- Use dates as a sweetener.
Date paste and whole dates
can be bought for very cheap
prices in Turkish and Arabic
stores. I like to make date
caramel by blending dates
with water and vanilla, or
chocolate date caramel by
adding cacao powder. Date
caramel can be used as a
pancake topping, to sweeten
smoothies or cakes, and
much more. - Fry without oil. Most of us
have become so used to using
oil in the kitchen that we
don’t even consider replacing
oil with whole foods such as
coconut milk and nut butters.
In my opinion, it is always
better to consume fat in the
form of whole foods, which
(unlike oil) come with fiber,
nutrients and vitamins. I fry
my pancakes without oil (if
you use a high-quality pan,
they won’t stick! I promise!)
and fry my vegetables in water.

I’ve always seen
eating as something
you have to do to
survive. After living
fully plant-based
for three years, my
experience has
taught me better.
Food determines
how you feel on a
daily basis! And in
addition to that,
healthy eating
is your cheapest
and most effective
pension plan. I
think most people
underestimate the
power of healthy
eating habits. Since
I’ve discovered
that, I’ve made it
my life mission
to educate about
health topics.
