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.


  1. 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.

  2. 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.
