Vegan MoFo 2013 - Baked Stuffed Apples with dairy soya egg free Vanilla Pod Custard

Hello! I'm going to be doing Vegan MoFo ( Month of Food ) this month ! 

It's suddenly turned cold over the last three days , sunny with a slight nip! Last night Pauly my sweet toothed fiancée was after something to satisfy him after a Sunday Roast lunch and while he was reading The Gruffalo to Opeie I decided to whip up some baked apples & vanilla pod custard with the apples I'd bought from Attingham Park the day before . 

Per heat the oven to the highest setting . 

1 or 2 apples per person 

3 table spoons your favourite fruit &nut mix, I used Tescos Luxury fruit mix , ground almonds , sliced almonds and Brazil nuts that I bashed up in a bag . ( all nuts GoodnessDirect.co.uk) 

1 table spoon cinnamon per apple ( you could add all spice if you have it)

Pinch of salt

1/2 table spoon coconut sugar or unrefined cane sugar per apple

Get a zip lock bag put nuts, fruit , spice, Sugar & salt and shake it around to combine . 

Scoop out the centres of the apples and stuff the centres with the fruit mixI normally put them in a le cruset type dish and spoon the extra around the base . 

Pop in the oven for 25 mins on a medium shelf, but 5 mins before they finish move to the top shelf to brown them! 

Custard :

1 pint almond milk

1 vanilla pod ( I buy mine from eBay 50 pods for around £12) 

2 tablespoons good old Birds custard powder. 

2 or 3 table spoons raw sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract. 

Mix the Birds Custard Powder & 1 tbsp of sugar together with 3 tbsp milk to a paste . 

Put the milk in a pan wait for milk to get Luke warm and add the paste , then whisk for a while and slowly add everything else . Keep whisking by hand until thick ! 

It's such a lovely treat and not that bad for you ! If you don't want the sugar leave it out of the apples , and have Coyo instead of custard for a healthier option ! 

If your feeling extra cold try a cup of roobios tea! Lovely !

 

Vegan Breakfast :Sunwarrior Warrior Blend Raw Protein Banana Milkshake & Raisan, Cacao Oat Cookies. | Suitable for Toddlers and Kids

I tend to get up earlier than the boys, and Pauly loves cookies, so I decided to think of a way of making some high protein cookies which are healthier, and to make a banana milkshake with Sunwarrior which tastes like a really delicious ice cream laden shake.



-Sunwarrior Protein Banana Shake.



Put 3 frozen Bananas, 1.5 cups Almond milk, 1 scoops Sunwarrior Warrior blend Vanilla, 1/4 ice , dash of vanilla extract in a blender and blitz until lumps are gone.



Cookies: Preheat oven to 160c

- 8oz of wholemeal Allisons Flour / or white gluten free flour.
- 4oz Flannigans Porridge Oats - Organic and Gluten free
- 8oz Pure spread
- 8oz Coconut sugar
- 4oz Raisins
-2 scoops of sunwarrior protein powder - optional. ( it's hit and miss, sometimes it tastes ok, sometimes not. )



Put everything in a mixing bowl and mix by hand, or in a mixer.



Roll into balls and press down on grease proof paper
Bake for 12-16 minutes.

My Breakfast routine. Sunwarrior Vegan Protein Powder, RAW Warrior blend. | Vegan UK Mom Parenting Food Blog

I think I am addicted to my breakfast routine , I make a protein , detox , super food smoothie every morning .

I recently started using Sunwarrior Raw Warrior Blend  vegan powder which I love !!!! it's Vegan, Organic, Soya free, raw GMO free, Gluten free and has a complete amino-acid profile, whilst also being probiotic.

I used to use Hemp protein, which i hated, It was gross. Really earth-y soiley tasting and gross, but this is more like a dessert type flavour! It costs £44.99 for a 1KG bag which lasts you around 6 weeks for one person.

I know I've mentioned my Smoothie recipe before, here, but I've recently started adding this, I've been using mine about a month or so now, and really love it.

I am also addicted to coconut oil, it tastes good raw, cooked, or spread on sandwiches ( I use it on Opeie's Houmous Avacardo ones!)

So basically, 200mls of unsweetened Almond milk, a scoop of Sunwarrior Raw Warrior Blend powder, a table spoon of Coconut oil, a banana, and a cup of frozen summer fruits and your good to go for a few hours!

What do you usually have for breakfast?
