Loaded Vegan Nachos by @clean_treats
Is there any other way to eat vegan nachos than loaded with fresh herbs, halapenos and beans? The answer of course is yes, you can eat nachos any way you like but we love that these are basically jumping off the plate.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 125g corn or tortilla chips
- 300g tomato salsa
- 400g tinned pinto beans (any beans would work – black beans, kidney beans), drained and thoroughly rinsed
- 150g diary free cheese
- 1 avocado
- 250g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, finely diced
- 60g Ccocobella natural coconut yoghurt
- 1 lime, juiced (approx 2 tbs)
- 1 tbs nutritional yeast
- 10g fresh coriander
- 30g Jalapeños, optional
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Method
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Pour chips onto a large baking dish.
- Spread the salsa over the chips then scatter the beans, tomatoes and cheese on top. Place in the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese has melted.
- While the nachos are baking, mash the avocado in a bowl. Add red onion, juice of 1/2 lime and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a seperate bowl, make the vegan sour cream by mixing the coconut yoghurt, nutritional yeast, juice of the remaining 1/2 lime and season with salt.
- Once the nachos have finished cooking, top with vegan sour cream, mashed avocado, jalapeños and fresh coriander. Serve & enjoy!
Strawberry and Cream Smoothie by @thecleantreatlady
Strawberries and cream, what a dream. We think this tastes way better than the original classic of strawberries with some whipped cream but if you are going to have the classic then at least get dairy free cream!
Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1-2 cups cold water
- 1 handful of frozen strawberries
- 1 heaped tbsp Cocobella vanilla coconut yogurt
- 1 heaped tbsp strawberries and cream protein powder by naked harvest
- 1 tsp immunity powder by tropeaka
- 1/4 tsp camu powder by tropeaka
Method
- Blend all ingredients together and there you have it!
