This is Day 3 of my Whole Food Plant-Based, (WFPB) lifestyle.
Why lifestyle?
Well, the diet industry appears to be predicated upon a “lose it and carry on as before” approach to what is becoming the world’s biggest (excuse the pun) threat to health…obesity and its ensuing problems.
I’m wearing a Kath Kidston skirt over short leggings.
This is a comfortable way to wear shorter skirts.
This one has side pockets, so is very practical too.
The belt bag is detachable and made from recycled car tyre inner tubes! I have two recipes to share with you today, one is Hummus and the other is Banana Ice Cream. Both are fat, oil, sugar and salt free!
2 cloves garlic
1 (15-ounce) can of Chickpeas, drain but reserve the liquid to use in the Hummus.
1 tablespoon Tahini.
Juice of half a fresh lemon.
1 teaspoon ground cumin.
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander.
Process all together, adding about half the reserved liquid.
Ground black pepper to taste and fresh chopped coriander sprinkled on top.
The Banana Ice Cream is simplicity itself and you can dress it up in whatever way suits your taste buds and health.
Take 2 bananas.
Chop into half inch pieces.
Put into a sealed container and freeze.
Once frozen, put the pieces into a food processor with 5 tblsps of plant milk…process for 10-20 seconds until smooth.
Serve immediately or rest in the freezer until ready to serve…no more than 15-20 mins.
