Beautiful Carmel

I went to Carmel last week. It was very nice. I love hanging on the beach with my coffee. 

Buckwheat pancakes with home made blackberry sauce

I have been really into buckwheat lately. It is so good for you. I can't have a lot of white breads because I am pretty allergic so I stick with complex cards, plus it is much better for you. I made home made buckwheat pancakes and binded the ingredients with one banana and a little bit of almond butter for added protein. They came out soooo good! I put  a pinch of salt and a cup and a half of water and a bit of oil, dash of cinnamon and two teaspoons of vanilla plus some almond milk and baking powder. I simmered two baskets of black berries with some water and a little bit of agave and waited, stirring until the sauce got more thick. I really enjoyed how it came out. I try not to use a lot of sugar in my cooking but once in a while I splurge if I am making treats during holidays. 

Here is a similar recipe to mine except they used apple sauce instead of a banana. Enjoy!

Vegan Buckwheat Pancakes

Vegan thai noodle dish and chili

 The other night I made Trader Joe's vegan thai noodles and tofu dish and steamed a side of broccolini. It was so delicious. On the side my friend and I made home made chili with veggies and beans and topped it with brussels sprouts. It was actually really delicious.

Nekter juice bar review

A new all vegan juice bar opened up near my house. I am obsessed! it is amazing and everything I have had there so far is so delicious. They have great juices, smoothies and super tasty acai bowls. Below are just a few of the fresh, raw things I have ordered.

This was sooo delicious. I had the date nut drink. So perfect if you need some calories and forgot to eat. I love how it has nut meg and dates in it. It is so so good. Just try it. 

Someone there recommended the pitaya bowl. Perfect if you are in a tropical mood. I loved the coconut and banana topping. I could eat this every day. 

Pink Flamingo drink is sooooo good!! 

Today one of the guys at the bar recommended the pb bowl. It is peanut butter, acai, strawberries and hemp granola plus much much more. It is perfect for a protein meal! 

Almond Banana milkshake

I love making home made banana and almond milk shakes. So delicious. All I do is freeze one to two bananas and put a cup or so of almond milk and blend. Just sweeten with agave nectar or organic sugar and top with cinnamon. It's so simple and easy!
