Cranberries Jam

Cranberries Jam by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I don’t eat any jams made with sugar. Sugar is another thing on my forbidden list. It is toxic! I only use natural and unrefined sweeteners, honey for example. All the jams that I make are made from dehydrated – rehydrated fruits, combined with delicious honey and amazing spices. The inconvenient is that they won’t last too long in…

Banana iced pudding with cinnamon sprinkles by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

Yesterday I was craving for a sweet creamy ice-cream. Hmm... all I had were some bananas and some leftover almond milk and then the idea hit me ! I made an easy banana ice-cream and the blender basically did all the work.

Banana and chocolate pudding

Banana and chocolate pudding by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

Bananas, bananas and again bananas! Don’t blame me because I love these sweet creamy fruits! I always make up some kind of dessert when I have bananas in my kitchen and I almost never eat them just as they are. I had some dark chocolate in the fridge and I thought “Why not combine it with bananas? Nothing wrong can happen... right?!”…

Allergy-Friendly Vegan Apple Cinnamon & Raisin Muffins

Allergy-Friendly Vegan Apple Cinnamon & Raisin Muffins by The Blender Girl

I just don't think you can go wrong with the combination of apples, cinnamon and raisins. In fact, if you are baking egg-free sweet breads, cakes and muffins, apples are one of your best culinary friends. They help to bind and add texture and flavor that is not too overpowering (you could use an extra pinch of cinnamon if you wanted…

No-Bake Apple Tart by Rich H

Get in on the raw food movement! Raw fruits and veggies are really the best way to enjoy all the healthy benefits of a plant-based diet.

Mango Banana Soft Serve

Mango Banana Soft Serve by simplynutritiouskate

As an ice cream lover it has been difficult for me to cut store bought ice cream out of my diet. With a long list of ingredients including numerous preservatives commercial ice cream is loaded with crap. Often ingredients such as dietheyl glycol, an egg replacement, which can be used as antifreeze or a paint remover are not even…

Guava, Mulberry and Maple Salad

Guava, Mulberry and Maple Salad by gypsy696

This is a really easy salad/dessert to make with very few ingredients. I added a couple of broken down pieces of my flaxseed chikki for added crunch. Flaxseed chikki is really easy to make – just melt some jaggery or brown sugar in a pan. Let cool for 5 minutes. Add the flax seeds. Stir well. Transfer to a flat bottomed pan and cut…

Cinnamon and Ginger Cranberry Sauce

Cinnamon and Ginger Cranberry Sauce by The Blender Girl

This home-made cranberry sauce can be made in minutes; it is ridiculously easy; and absolutely scrumptious. Once you make this, you will never be caught dead buying a jar of pre-made cranberry sauce again. I have always loved cranberry sauce, and this blend is a winner. I have deliberately kept it very basic. I just love the…

Vegan Brown Rice Banana Smoothie

Vegan Brown Rice Banana Smoothie by The Blender Girl

I made this brown rice milk smoothie and it was nothing short of spectacular. OK – so it will be affectionately reserved for the “I don’t care about carb overload” trough for future emotional emergencies. But hey – I might just have to pull it out in times of celebration too! It is really that good. Rich, thick, creamy, and delicious.…

Raw Vegan Chocolate Fruit Balls

Raw Vegan Chocolate Fruit Balls by The Blender Girl

My mom and I make these raw fruit balls all the time and they are absolutely delicious. We use raw almonds, cashews and macadamias as our nutty blend. But you could use any nuts that tickle your festive fancy. Just know that each nut mix will yield a treat of a different personality. Roll out these vegan treats. They make great…

Raw Vegan Coconut Date Shake

Raw Vegan Coconut Date Shake by The Blender Girl

This shake is absolutely scrumptious! Throw some dates in the blender with some bananas, almond milk and coconut water, and prepare for pure heaven. You can substitute cashew milk if you want a richer, more buttery shake, and you could always add a spoonful of coconut butter and lecithin to make it even more creamy. It depends on how…

Vegan Apple Pie Smoothie

Vegan Apple Pie Smoothie by The Blender Girl

This is my vegan, gluten-free “apple pie in a glass”. I don’t really know how to do this smoothie justice, except to say that it is absolutely scrumdidiliumptious! This smoothie is absolutely fantastic! This blend captures everything I love about a great piece of apple pie – the creamy, buttery apples with just a hint of sweetness,…

Non-Alcoholic Sangria Punch

Non-Alcoholic Sangria Punch by The Blender Girl

For a zesty Summer drink, you just can’t go past this non alcoholic Sangria, which never fails to refresh and satisfy. There are a ton of wonderful non alcoholic Sangria recipes out there that use a variety of fruits. A lot of recipes use pears and apples. But I really like the tartness of citrus fruits – any excuse to use lemon and…

Thai Vegan Coconut Ice Cream

Thai Vegan Coconut Ice Cream by The Blender Girl

This vegan coconut ice cream was inspired by my many trips to Thailand and is absolutely divine! One really important thing about making coconut ice cream – the base must be really well chilled before churning in the ice cream maker or the ice cream will be too soft and slushy. Try and chill it for a minimum of three or fours hours.…

Raw Vegan Avocado Gazpacho

Raw Vegan Avocado Gazpacho by The Blender Girl

This quick easy Summer cooler is like “liquid guacamole” that kicked me into a pleasure-induced coma that had me “coat-checking” my teeth and dreaming up a recipe for a “taco in a glass”. I have deliberately kept this soup simple. It is deceptively rich – with a subtle flavor that dances across the palate before leaving a lasting…
