HOW TO MAKE VEGAN PIZZA CHEESE MELT PERFECTLY πŸ§€πŸ•

Who doesn't love homemade vegan pizza? Nowadays, there are many vegan pizza cheese brands, for example Daiya, Forager, Follow Your Heart and Violife. Most of them are based on almonds and coconut oil and have a pleasant taste. Not all of them, however, always melt well at all oven temperatures, so sometimes vegans end up with a pizza whose vegan shreds are still visible instead of having melted into a delicious coherent mass.

🍊 ORANGE PEEL SMOOTHIE πŸ’š Plant Based Vegan Recipe

A couple of years ago I started using organic orange peel in my smoothies and I absolutely love the taste. Orange peel is edible and a source of vitamin C, fibre and antioxidants (polyphenols). I like to add flaxseed to my smoothies as a source of omega-3 fatty acids.

THE BEST HOMEMADE SOY MILK, NO NASTY TASTE πŸ˜‹

As you all know, I love to make my own plant milk at home and have published several recipes. One that has been missing is soy milk because I needed some time to try several things to eliminate the beany taste that many recipes have. Today I'm sharing what works for me and what I like best.

πŸ’šWHAT I EAT IN A DAY (VEGAN): AFRICAN PEANUT STEW DOMODA, CHOCOLATE CAKE, HOMEMADE SOY YOGURT & MORE

I realized I haven't made a What I Eat In A Day video in years, so I wanted to share what I recently ate on a regular work day. You'll see that vegan food isn't bland or boring at all. Part of my diet is whole foods plant based / high carb low fat (WFPB / HCLF) as recommende by Dr. Michael Greger of nutitionfacts.org, but I also consume oil and sugar, so part of it is vegan junk food.

🍰🧁 HOW TO TURN CREAM OF TARTAR INTO BAKING POWDER πŸ₯§πŸ₯―

HOW TO MAKE AQUAFABA EGG REPLACER FROM TEXTURED VEGETABLE PROTEIN πŸ’–


Did you know you can make aquafaba from textured vegetable protein (TVP)? TVP is a meat substitute that is made of soy. The liquid I make in this tutorial is suitable as aquafaba because soy is a legume that is even higher in protein than chickpeas (the protein makes aquafaba an egg replacer).

Vegan Chicken Salad πŸ˜‹


After all the positive feedback for my vegan tuna salad recipe (https://youtu.be/AdAO6sy8VwI), I've decided to make a similar one that mimicks chicken salad. Just like the tuna version, my vegan chicken („chickun“) salad uses textured vegetable protein (TVP), a meat substitute that is made of soy and low in fat. It is available at many local health food stores and online.

Easy Homemade Ketchup

JOIN MY YOUTUBE COMMUNITY ► https://goo.gl/KjZ5cm Today I'm sharing my recipe for homemade vegan ketchup. Even though one can find ketchup at every grocery store, I prefer to make my own for two reasons. First, not all ketchup brands are vegan. Second, commercially made ketchup usually contains lots of sugar. I prefer ketchup that contains an amount of natural sweetener that I can control.

Air Fryer Tofu



JOIN MY YOUTUBE COMMUNITY ► https://goo.gl/KjZ5cm 🎬 Hi friends! In this episode of Bianca's Kitchen, I'm sharing my recipe for delicious vegan air fryer tofu! This meatless meal is high in protein and at the same time lower in cholesterol. This meat substitute is a beginner friendly recipe and ideal if you want to try e.g. Meatless Monday. It's also a great start if you're new to vegan food and looking for a low key dish. If you wish, make this dish oil free by using the vegan egg replacer aquafaba instead of oil! Tofu can be stored for a long time which makes it an ideal food to stock your vegan fridge. It also can be used for many other dishes that imitate meat, for example vegan egg salad or vegan fish. This recipe uses extra firm tofu which can be found at many health food stores or purchased online for delivery and pick up, e.g.: ● https://bit.ly/39C8OWphttps://bit.ly/2P6nZNV The air fryer shown in the video is a Philips Starfish HD9220/28 (https://amzn.to/2ZBwZky). We use it several times a week and highly recommend it!
