I was experimenting and made a vegan chocolate mousse using silken tofu. It came out pretty yummy and with fresh berries and cinnamon on top, it’s a nice treat with a bit of protein (the way I made it comes out to 111 calories per serving with 6 grams of protein) If you look below you’ll see the ingredientsI used and corresponding nutritional info. Steps are as follows: - Drain package of silken tofu and add to blender/food processor - Add cocoa powder*, maple syrup**, monk fruit sweetener, and melted dark chocolate* to food processor and blend until a smooth consistency is achieved. * You can add more chocolate to the mix for a more chocolatey flavor. **you can also add more (or less) maple syrup. I used a small amount of maple syrup then opted to add in some monk fruit sweetener to add some additional sweetness without too many calories)….(just make sure to adjust because this will affect nutritional information - Add a small amount of guar gum to facilitate thickening - Pour into four containers and put in fridge for at least 4 hours to set Eat alone or too with fresh berries, nuts, cinnamon, etc! Enjoy!

I used to love Flamin’ Hot Cheetos as a kid and used to regularly down a bag every week (not the best idea, I know, but I was a kid!) Recently I discovered a plant based dupe for those tasty suckers, and I gotta say, it definitely satisfied. If you love:loved Flamin’ Hot Cheetos as much as me, Check out Peatos Crunchy FieryCurls!

I follow @theflexibledietinglofestyle on Instagram and decided to try one of his recipes. It came out so good! (I used Trader Joe’s vegan sausage link vs pepperoni for my pizza. 794 calories and 62.2 grams protein for the entire pizza!

For all those in the US (and maybe Canada too), Costco had an awesome deal on organic edamame pasta by Seapoint Farms! Just $9.99 for a 1000g box (I picked up two boxes today) (For reference, I’ve been buying a 200g box of the exact same brand my local grocery store for about $4.99/box) Each serving of this pasta has 200 calories and 24 grams of protein! I love to add a little marinara with a link of vegan Italian sausage from Trader Joe’s (17 grams protein) for a nice protein packed vegan meal!
