Hemp Protein Brownies
My first successful experiment with my latest purchase: hemp protein. These brownies are vegan and gluten-free. They’re not a low-calorie food because of the walnuts, cocoa and banana but they have no added sugar & they’re packed with dietary fiber.
Ingredients: (for 2-3 servings)
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup hemp protein powder
- 3 tbsp cocoa
- 1 banana
- drops of chocolate and walnut flavorings (optional ; can be replaced with vanilla and/or almond extract)
I processed everything together and baked the mix for 10-15 min at 200 degrees Celsius.
Steamed Quinoa Cake
Ingredients for the cake:
Mix everything together. Put in a cake pan or in several small cake pans and place in a steamer. Steam for 25 to 30 minutes. (If you don’t have a steamer you can use a steamer pot with water at the bottom and a strainer on top to hold the cake.)
I made the raspberry filling mixing raspberries with a bit of white almond butter.
A small serving (on the first photo) is about a sixth of the whole cake and contains 90 calories.
Good idea: combining protein-rich plants together: edamame, quinoa and almonds. Two servings of this dish = a 360 calorie-meal with 18 g of protein.
Hi, I was planning on going vegetarian as well as avoiding most dairy products, both for the health reasons as well as animal rights. I'm 19 and fairly active (moderate cardio 3-5 days a week, yoga 7 days a week). Do you have any tips on ways to get all the nutrients I need, as well as things I should look out for when monitoring food intake? Thanks! (:
Hi Samm,
Since you’re fairly active you should make sure you’re getting enough protein. You can calculate the quantity of protein you need on this page: www.bodybuilding.com/fun/how-much-protein-is-it-safe-for-me-to-take.htm
Although the site is about bodybuilding and fitness the first protein calculator is for ‘normal’ people: it uses the recommended daily allowance of protein according to U.S. government standards. If you scroll down there are other calculators to see how you should increase your protein intake according to your activity levels.
I’m not a vegan/vegetarian but I frequently rely on vegetarian products to get the protein I need because they’re not that expensive and they allow me to ‘switch it up’:
- Soy products like tofu, soy yogurt and tempeh. (There is a kind of controversy about soy products www.womentowomen.com/healthynutrition/soycontroversy.aspx but according to me they’re fine if they’re organic and if you don’t rely only on them for protein.)
- Seitan is another vegetarian food very rich in protein. It’s not gluten-free though because it is made of wheat.
- Hemp or pea protein powders come in handy to make milkshakes and smoothies. Some may taste weird so it’s better to buy a small sample first rather than a big package when trying a new brand.
If you still can eat eggs it would be a good source of protein in your diet.
Grains, beans and foods like quinoa also contain protein but not that much. They are great as carbs. Same for nuts: they contain some protein but I don’t consider them as ‘protein food’, they’re mainly a source of good fats rather than a source of protein.
Raw Cashew Ice Cream (found on this blog: lesleyliftinglife.com)
Ingredients:
- 1 C raw cashews
- 1/2 C water
- 1/3 C raw agave nectar
- pinch of salt
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1-2 TB coconut oil
Directions: Throw it all in a blender and let it form a smooth liquid. Place the liquid in ice cream maker, and let it do it’s thing until it’s reached your favorite consistency.
“Slimming mousse for choco-holics on a plan” found on iheartwellness.com. Next time I feel like having chocolate, I’ll try this recipe using a bit of coconut oil to make a fluffy mousse. I’m curious to see how it turns out. I’ll omit the topping of grated chocolate though to save some calories.
Ingredients for 2 servings:
- 1.5 tbsp coconut oil
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder
- 5 tbsp almond milk {unsweetened}
- 1/2 tsp powdered stevia
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 square 88% dark chocolate for topping {optional}
Directions: In a large mixing bowl mix together the dry ingredients. Add in the coconut oil and almond milk and mix with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy!
your blog is heavenly!
also i was wondering if you had any good vegan recipes?
Aww that is very sweet, thank you Maddy!
I have some vegan recipes. Although I’m not a vegan, I enjoy dairy free / egg free treats, I have the feeling they give my stomach a little rest :)
- Chocolate chip bean balls: I’m going to try them today with dried cranberries in place of chocolate chips as my Friday treat.
- Black bean brownies: As someone wrote in the notes, they look like a lump of mud -but they’re delicious!
- Pistachio pudding: the first time I tried avocado in a dessert, I love it.
- Low fat low sugar chocolate pudding: made with sugar free soy milk for extreme low sugar content.
- Rhubarb crisp: to eat veggie & dessert at the same time!
- Creamy banana ice cream (if you substitute the Greek yogurt with soy yogurt; or you can just omit the yogurt)
New thing I’ve discovered today: obsessing about eating healthy food is actually an eating disorder called Orthorexia.
5 warning signs (at the end of the video):
- worrying about food
- ritualistic eating
- excessively reading food labels
- social isolation
- weight loss
