Banana ice cream is an amazing and healthy alternative to regular ice cream or even vegan ice cream. It’s creamy, sweet, delicious and so easy to make. Consistency-wise it can be pretty close to a regular ice cream if you put it in the freezer after prepping for 20-30 min, If you serve it right away, it has the consistency of a soft serve.
Back in Teneriffa, I bought a huge bag of organic ginger powder that I needed for a recipe. And I had so much left over ginger that I started adding it to everything. We were eating tons of bananas back in Teneriffa, there was not much other fruit, so eventually, the ginger powder landed in my banana ice cream and I loved it.
I tried adding ginger to the banana ice cream before, but I always ended up chewing on those wooden strings from the fresh ginger, and yes, I peed it before grating. Also, the flavor was not very blended it, I would have gingery spots and spots with no ginger at all. When I added more ginger to have more of the flavor, the ice cream would come out too spicy, even hot. So my preference is always to use ginger powder, even if I can get my hand on some fresh organic ginger.
I tried making nice cream so many ways and I find the food processor method to be the easiest. You can also use your immersion stick to blend up the bananas, therefore us a wide bowl. It works in a powerful blender as well, but the ice cream comes out softer I find.
In today’s mukbang we are gonna talk about dating a non-vegan as a vegan. The pros and the cons and a little personal stuff.
There are tons of weird situations you can end up in if you’re dating a non-vegan as a vegan. Eating out, hanging out with their friends and non-vegan family, kissing his/her meat scented lips …
Every non-vegan needs a vegan in their life, at least for a while, to show them how amazing animals are and that you don’t have to eat them at all. A non-vegan is very likely not to have any vegan friends and if they has, friends never have as strong of an impact as a partner.
Having this interest in you the person awards you with opens up the possibility for sharing your world with them.
As there are fully committed vegans there are committed meat eaters who genuinely believe eating meat is healthy and absolutely necessary. They will swear to never give up meat ever. The chances to reach a person with this mindset are slimmer than a person who is ambivalent about the food.
Someone who is truly interested in you and wants to know more about everything that you are doing, at the same time isn’t following a strict meat-based diet is a great non-vegan to date.
Even dating a vegan, there is no guarantee the person will stay vegan for the rest of their life. Dating non-vegans opens up a bigger pool of potential partners, who are likely to adopt a more plant-based lifestyle in the future anyways watching our eat your delicious vegan food.
Take them to a farm sanctuary or watch earthling or cowspiracy together. If the person is interested in health, show them a health related vegan movie or give them a book to read that inspired you to go vegan and eat healthier. Watch vegan youtube channels you love together, cook a vegan dinner together and take them to a vegan meet up.
For our little family gathering we made our fav raw desserts, raw cocoa and coffee, so everyone could enjoy it.
Every time I have too many ripe bananas I make cinnamon rolls and banana ice cream.
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.
We only use whole healthy ingredients to make this dessert and minimally process them.
These cinnamon rolls are sweet and gooey, with a buttery tastes from the almond butter with a strong hint of cinnamon.
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 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.
The banana should be spotty with no green ends. The bananas should be overripe, no soft brown spots.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In just a couple of minutes our healthy raw ketchup is ready to eat.
This is by far my favorite raw vegan avocado cake. It’s not only tasty, but it is also quite healthy. There are no oils or sugar in it. It is also pretty easy to make. No baking and affordable for a super tasty cake.
You can use any kind of nuts of your choice. Cashews are great, walnuts are awesome, you can even try using seeds like sunflower seeds for the crust.
You can replace the dates using mulberries, dried apricots or even raisins.
You can use juice of lemons, limes, or clementines instead.
If you came across a problem not mentioned below, please comment in the comment section, I would love to help you out.
Delicious and healthy raw vegan avocado cake. Only 4 ingredients, made in 15-20 minutes. No oil, no sugar, raw and vegan. The best raw vegan avocado cake recipe.
Who doesn’t love apple pies? And this raw vegan version of an apple pie is not just delicious, it’s even healthy. A super healthy no bake apple pie.
Raw vegan cakes and pies are not as hard to make as baked once, but still take quite some time to prep. Here, I wanna share a quick and easy everyday raw vegan apple pie recipe that you will wanna make every day and it will not eat up much of your time. It’s one of these recipes that are faster to make than to eat.
You definitely don’t have to be a raw food chef or to buy expensive exotic superfoods to create a dessert you can enjoy daily. The very first homemade apple pie I remember eating at my 3rd cousin’s. She baked when I visited her family many years ago. It was, as cakes usually are, a vegetarian cake and being a vegetarian back then, I tried a slice. She advertised it as the most effortless and quick recipe she had ever baked. I took her around 40 minutes to wipe it off. I can’t quite remember the taste of it, but it was a fluffy dough with a thin layer of apples on top. I ate up the apples, they were the best. No wonder my fav apple pie nowadays is made without the dough entirely.
This pie is basically just the filling of an apple pie, which is the best part of a pie for me anyways. Surprisingly, I completely lost my passion for apples over the years are rarely eat any, but this apple pie convinces me to eat 3-4 apple in one sitting every time I make it. This apple pie is what it is, it doesn’t pretend to be anything else, anything better, anything fancy. It is simple and honest recipe and has the potential to become a stable dessert or even to replace lunch.
What are your favorite pies? Is it an apple pie, a pecan pie or a creamy raw vegan cheesecake? Let me know below.
Eating raw vegan since 2013, I love the raw food diet and share some of my fav raw recipes here.
What are your fav raw food recipes, please share below!
Dates are a healthier sugar alternative. It is better than agave or honey. Not that we are considering honey as a possible food, it’s a product bees invested hard labor in to have food for themselves and who are we to steel it, right?! Back to the date, dates are the best.

Sure, you can by vegan milks at a store, but it’s so easy to make your own raw vegan milk at home. Plan-based milks are not only tastier and healthier than cow’s milk, they are also so versatile and fun to make.
We used to love chocolate milk. The taste, the sweetness, the flavor of cocoa. Not the unhealthy ingredients of it or the animal-cruelty caused by the milk production for sure. So here is an amazing hemp-based alternative. It is healthier and even more delicious. There are so many more good non-dairy vegan substitutes for milk we will share with you this year!
Some health food stores sell them, but we prefer buying them online. It’s usually cheaper and saves time looking for them at a store.
