Super easy kale chips

We love kale chips and probably have tried every single flavor of raw vegan organic kale chips all over the world. Living in Germany, it gets easier and easier to get fresh kale and Stefan’s parents grow it in their garden, but it’s not that easy to get kale chips at the stores. When it comes to healthy foods, Germans are not eager at all to spend the extra money. It seems like they expect the healthy chips to cost just as much if not less than regular chips which are just around 1€ for a big bag. Once, buying a bag of raw organic kale chips at a regular store the person behind us got super angry about us paying 3.5€ for the tiny bag of kale chips as we were spending his money. Hope you get the picture. This is the main reason why there are very few German brands making kale chips.

Super easy Kale Chips

Published:

½ bunch
kale
1 tbsp raw
1 tsp
curry powder
Wash and de-stem the kale. Rip it into bite size pieces. Add the tahini and curry and massage gently the kale until evenly coated. Lay the kale out onto a dehydrator sheet without the kale overlapping and dehydrate overnight at 108ºF/42ºC in the dehydrator.

Besides the price and availability, our diet got much healthier over the years and we don’t buy products containing oil anymore, we are not into salt as well. So I started making kale chips myself. There are quite a few awesome recipes I’ve been making lately, but this one is the easiest and super tasty.

Cinnamon rolls

Every time I have too many ripe bananas I make cinnamon rolls and banana ice cream.

Raw vegan cinnamon rolls

Everyone who is into sweet baked goods will love these raw vegan cinnamon rolls. These buttery buns are a perfect treat that helps to forget the unhealthy regular cinnamon buns. This hight carb and gluten-free dessert is perfects for both kids and adults.

Healthy cinnamon rolls

We only use whole healthy ingredients to make this dessert and minimally process them.

So delicious

These cinnamon rolls are sweet and gooey, with a buttery tastes from the almond butter with a strong hint of cinnamon.

So easy to make

It only calls for 3 simple and widely available ingredients. Bananas, almond butter and cinnamon. Even the waiting time is quite long, the dehydrator will do it gladly overnight. All the prep is done within 10 minutes.

Banana Cinnamon Rolls

Published:
      Dehydrator

10 ripe organic
banans, peeled
2 tbsp raw organic
1 tsp Cylon organic
Split the bananas lengthwise into 2-3 stripes. Dry the bananas at 42ºC/108ºF on a mash tray overnight (12-16h). The bananas should be still soft on the inside, but the skin should be dry. Roll up a banana slice. Roll up 3-4 slices around one another to get a thicker cinnamon roll. Drizzle with almond butter and sprinkle with cinnamon.
If your almond butter is to thick, add a little water.

Banana cinnamon rolls

The recipe

Banana cinnamon rolls are super popular within the raw food community, everyone makes them, with a slightly different spin. The very basic recipe only calls for bananas and cinnamon, common addition are young coconut meat, nut butters, dates, raisins, vanilla, coconut sugar, or date sugar. Usually, the recipes are made of of not more than 3 ingredients.

Raw Cinnamon Buns

Vegan Cinnamon Rolls 3 ingredients

All you need to make this recipe

Picking the right banana

The banana should be spotty with no green ends. The bananas should be overripe, no soft brown spots.

raw vegan cinnamon rolls

Raw, organic, real

When it comes to almond butter, besides buying organic, make sure it’s raw. Check out my post on almond butter to find more info on why I never eat roasted nuts.

Splitting the banana

The hardest part of this is slicing the bananas lengthwise. I usually use a sharp cerated knife, hold the bananas down genteelly and cut is just like I would cut a burger bun. There is another great way to separate the banana into 3 stripes, but the stripes will not be flat. The banana consists of 3 parts and with a little practice, you can split it lengthwise using just your hands. Split it straight down the middle lengthwise and it will spit into equal thirds.
Peel the banana, it is usually a little firmer on the bottom. Look for a little hole right in the center of in the bottom, push it in with you finger and the banana will start splitting lengthwise.

Broken banana pieces

It’s unavoidable to mess up couple of bananas, that’s why I only attempt to make cinnamon rolls when have more bananas than I need. The broken pieces can be frozen for banana ice cream.

high carb raw cinnamon rolls

no dehydrator, no problem

If you are not a raw foodie jet or/and don’t own a dehydrator, make these in the oven. I wouldn’t recommend trying to dehydrate the bananas at a dehydrating temperature in the oven. It’s a waste of energy and never works out quite well. The oven is not constructed the way a dehydrator is and doesn’t as well as a dehydrator. The banana might start to ferment if you leave it in the oven at a low temperature over night. Bake the bananas for 2-3 h at 120ºC/250ºF on reusable silicon mat/paper.

Storing

Diese Zimtschnecken sind nicht ganz durchgetrocknet und dadurch nicht haltbar. Wenn ich diese am zweiten Tag noch essen will, dann rolle ich diese auf und lasse sie im Dehydrator weitertrocknen.

Raw vegan go-to burger recipe

raw vegan burger

So easy and healthy

Raw vegan burger as a perfect substitute for any burger

When it comes to homemade meals, we have the freedom to make the best meal possible. It means to really think about the ingredients we use and to start from scratch using only the great ingredients we know are healthy. If we just try to recreate the classic recipe, we will end up with the cheap junk food that stole hours from our life for nothing.

Raw vegan burger the easy way

What I love about this burger recipe, is that is so easy and fast to make. We tried many raw vegan burgers eating out at the raw vegan restaurants and the usual recipes require marinating and dehydrating which can take hours if ton days.

Lettuce as raw vegan burger bun

If you don’t like mushrooms or can’t find big portobello mushrooms you can always use lettuce for burger buns.

Raw vegan burger variations

There are countless ways of making a raw vegan burger. You can use different nuts for the patty, your fav veggies to replace the carrot. We sometimes add some raw vegan cheese and crispy dehydrated onion rings. Ketchup is also always a good idea.

How do we get the egg flavour into our food

Kala Namak salt tastes just like eggs. If you don’t mind using a little salt in your food, kala namak is amazing. It provides not only egg like flavor but also the taste. It is amazing for sauce and dressings like ranch or mayo.

Ketchup

Raw ketchup benefits

This ketchup recipe is easy to make, super healthy and tastes amazing with anything. But isn’t a raw ketchup recipe just for the raw foodies? Not at all, it’s tastes amazing to anyone and is much easier to make than any other recipe.

Why I make my own ketchup

I wasn’t too thrilled with conventional ketchup products once I took a closer look at the ingredients: preservatives, coloring, and E-numbers I wasn’t sure what they meant. Plus the tomatoes are usully chemically treated while grown and in ketchup. I decided to buy organic ketchup, but there was always added sugar. Like they say: “If you want it to be good, make it yourself.” Today, we will make the most delicious and amazing ketchup ourselves.

If you are not sure about using avocados for a desert, try making just one pies using one avocado to see how you like it! Or just make a thicker crust and a thin cream layer.

Orange juice

    Live Organic Food Bar

    The Live Organic Food Bar in Toronto is an awesome place with many great raw vegan options and also cooked vegan food.

    What we had at Live Organic Food Bar

    Enchiladas

    chipotle corn wrap, sunflower refried beans, tomato salsa, chocolate almond mole, arugula, pickled red onion, jalapeños cilantro, cashew sour cream

    I had the enchiladas ($16) first. It was ok, not much flavor, pudding like texture. So good there were fresh tomatoes and arugula, they gave this dish at least some texture. The taste was not bad though.

    mezze plate

    Mezze pLate

    sunflower falafels, sunflower hummus, mixed olives, cauliflower/kale tabouli, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, pickled red onion, flatbreads, tahini sauce, za’ atar oil

    Mezze pLate ($16) was my favorite dish. I love falafel, tabbuoleh, hummus, olives and greens. The sun-dried olives were wonderful. Beyond wonderful. The regular olives were way too salty for me after not eating salt for month, I would ask for more sun-dried instead the next time. They are the best.

    life food toronto raw food toronto

    Pizza

    almond crust, red pepper marinara, arugula, tomato, black olives, artichokes, cashew feta, almond parmesan

    This Pizza ($16) was my hubbies’ favorite dish. The crust was wonderful, the sauce and the topping too, especially the nut cheese. First I thought the big fresh tomato slices on the pizza were a little to salady on the pizza, but actually it balanced the dish perfectly. The artichokes were so great on it.

    life food toronto Falafel and Taco Wrap

    Falafel and Taco Wrap

    red wrap, sunflower falafels, smoked carrot hummus, cauliflower/kale tabouli, cucumber, tomato, pickled red onion, micro greens, tahini sauce, za’atar oil & flax corn wrap, sunflower refried beans, guacamole, tomato salsa, walnut taco meat, micro greens, cilantro, green onion

    We took the 2 wraps ($15) to go to eat on the plane later that day. The falafel wrap was basically the mezzo plate wraped into a red wrap. The taco wrap was hearty and smokey, really delicious. The wrapping veggie paper itself wasn’t so great after caring it around for 3 hours, the next time I’ll make sure to eat the wraps right away.

    Our experience at Live Organic Food Bar

    We liked it here a lot. I would totally bring family and friends there.

    What to order

    They have a sample platter with 4 awesome raw vegan dishes to try. Perfect for first timers. The atmosphere is relaxed and alternative. They also manufacture crackers, wraps, superfoods, I saw some of them at Whole foods earlier that day.

    Desserts

    They also have a big selection of desserts, some of them contained honey. So be careful if you are vegan.

    Quality of the food at Live Organic Food Bar

    The food is supposed to be all organic and vegan, so we were told. On the way to the bathroom I passed by the kitchen and saw some boxes of non-organic avocados and greens. I asked about the corn, they guarantied me it was non-GMO. The thing about eating out is, you have to trust the restaurant, even knowing they might not try as hard as yourselves to serve you the best food possible for the money spent.

    Menu

    Raw and cooked mixed. A decent variety of raw dishes for a mixed restaurant.
    We ate here April 2015.
