- PANDAN NICE CREAM
How to make Pandan Nice Cream? Pandan Nice Cream with Banana Bread Granola, anyone? This beautiful Pandan Nice Cream is developed by Svetlana, a Brisbane based vegan health and food blogger. But What Exactly Is Nice Cream? Banana-based ice cream may be the original nice cream, but the term has come to represent any fruit-based, vegan, dairy-free treat free from artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, and added sugar. Take our new three-ingredient mango and strawberry nice creams, for example. A banana is added to each to ensure a creamy texture, but the other fruits are the stars of the show. The technique is so popular that there are entire cookbooks and even brick-and-mortar ice cream stores dedicated to the stuff. In her book Guilt-Free Nice Cream, author Margie Broadhead describes nice cream as a “healthy, banana-based alternative to ice cream, which happens to also be delicious and super easy and quick to make.” In Nice Cream: 30 Guilt Free Banana Ice Cream Desserts, author Dani Spies defines nice cream as “a low-calorie, low-fat, plant-based alternative to traditional ice cream that also happens to be delicious and packed with nutrients.” What About All These New “Light” Ice Creams? Are They Nice Creams? Freezer aisles are now filled with pints advertising their ice cream as “light,” “high-protein,” “low-calorie,” “good-for-you” alternatives to ice cream. But, not all are nice creams. That’s right — the Halo Tops and coconut-based vegan ice creams (often filled with added sugar or sugar substitutes) of the world are not nice creams. The only commercial products that comes to mind as nice creams are Daily Harvest’s Nice Cream Sundaes, made primarily with banana, cauliflower, and a variety of nuts, and sweetened with dates. But hey, why buy make your own - here's a recipe that you might like to try :- INGREDIENTS : * 2 frozen bananas 🍌 * 1 frozen kiwi 🥝 * Handful spinach 🥬 * 1/4 cup coconut cream 🥥 * 2 teaspoons @my.blue.tea Pandan Powder 🌿 * 1 teaspoon @my.blue.tea Pandan Liquid Extract * Splash of water/plant milk 🥛 ** Add-ins: protein powder, chia powder and flaxmeal Pandan Nice Cream just in time for Spring as the weather is warming up BUY PANDAN POWDER / PANDAN LIQUID EXTRACT NOW METHOD: GRANOLA Blend together: * 2 bananas 🍌 * 1/2 cup coconut milk 🥛 * 1/4 cup dates, pitted * A squeeze of molasses * 1 tsp vanilla * A pinch of salt 🧂 * 1 tsp Mesquite Powder or similar * 1/2 tsp cinnamon * 2 tbsp peanut butter 🥜 In a large bowl combine: * 1 cup+ rolled oats * 3/4 cup mixed nuts 🌰 * 1/2 cup mixed seeds * 2 bananas, sliced into coins 🍌 METHOD : * Pour the banana and coconut milk mixture into the dry mix and stir to coat evenly. * Spread into an even layer onto a lined baking tray. * Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes to achieve a soft oatmeal bake, or 25 minutes for crunchy granola (stirring halfway through). 🌞💖 BUY BUTTERFLY PEA TEA Brew Blue Tea today!

I live in the sunny San Francisco bay area with my husband and two beautiful daughters. I grew up in Bulgaria – a faraway place where we ate tomatoes and peppers for breakfast, we drank plain yogurt with water at dinner, and we took hours to prepare our meals because everything was made from scratch (even the condiments). I consider myself lucky to have grown in a country where seasonality was part of the culinary tradition, where we had real, honest food, and knew how to appreciate it." #VEGAN #butterflypea #kaffirlime #kaffirlimeleaf #smoothie #coconutwater

(2) Mix in dessicated coconut so it forms a paste. Do not be tempted to eat all the paste because it smells so good! (3) Press the paste onto your lamb chops and marinade for 2 hours or overnight in the fridge. (4) Cook the Rice - Rinse the rice a few times and place into a pot.

(10) When the lid starts to rattle, put it on a low heat. (11) Check the rice after 10 minutes or so, and fluff the rice, then cover again. Test it’s doneness, and if it is dry, but the rice is not done, add a little boiling water, mix it in, then cook, checking again in 5 minutes. (12) Repeat this process until the rice is done. It should only take once - but it depends on the type of rice and the fat content of the coconut cream. (13) While the rice is cooking, make the vegetables. Heat the Saucy Wench Satay Sauce in a wok, or deep fry pan, and splash in the vinegar and soy sauce. Once it starts bubbling, add in the onions and stir the onions to loosen. (14) Once the onions are soft, add in the carrots, and let it all simmer, uncovered, until the carrots are just soft, but still firm on the bite. (15) Add the cabbage and green beans and stir and heat through for another 2 minutes. Take it off the heat and allow the vegetables to absorb the sauce. (16) Cooking the Lamb. Grill the lamb on a hot BBQ for 3 to 5 minutes on each side depending on how you’d like your meat cooked. Let the meat rest for another 3 to 5 minutes. (17) Plating. Place the cooked blue rice in a bowl then top with the white rice. Press down to flatten, then turn it over onto a plate. Pile on the lamb chops, and the veggies with that delicious sauce and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and chopped nuts. BUY KAFFIR LIME LEAF POWDER NOW Butterfly Pea Tea - so blue, so yum!
