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.
Take the bananas out of the freezer and let them defrost for 3 min. Add them to the food processor and blend them up into until smooth. You might need to scrape down the sides couple of times. Add the ginger powder and blend for 10 sec to combine the ice cream with the ginger powder. Serve and enjoy your ginger flavored banana ice cream.
You can use fresh ginger as well. Peel a small piece and grate it using a sharp fine grate.

How I fell in love with the ginger flavored banana ice cream
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.
Using fresh ginger for banana ice cream
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.
Making nice cream in a food processor
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.
I don’t wanna date a non-vegan
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 …
Dating a Non-vegan is good for the animals
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.
Inspiring a non-vegan
Having this interest in you the person awards you with opens up the possibility for sharing your world with them.
Is there a type of a Non-vegan to avoid
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.
Non-vegans that are great for dating?
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.
Isn’t it easier to avoid Non-vegans?
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.
How to inspire a Non-vegan?
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.

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

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.
In just a couple of minutes our healthy raw ketchup is ready to eat.

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.
Why this raw vegan apple pie is better than any other 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.

Thinly slice 4 apples. Mix 2 apples , almond butter dates and cinnamon into a thick sauce and combine with the apple slices.
It’s that easy to make an apple pie
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.
It’s not a birthday cake
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.

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!
