Fat Free Whole Wheat Vegan Banana Bread
Relevance: 100% Posted on: December 3, 2012
Banana bread is one of my favorite childhood treats. I remember baking it many times and trying to pack as much banana flavor into it as possible. But traditional banana bread isn't very healthy. It's made with white flour, oil, eggs and sugar. It's also not usually vegan. So I wanted to make a fat free oil free vegan version of banana bread and this one uses stone ground whole wheat flour. Even though it's oil free, it's actually very moist and a very similar texture to regular banana bread. I was really impressed with this recipe. Instead of sugar…How To Tell If A Banana Is Ripe With Pictures! (A Yellow Banana Is Not Ripe Enough)

So you want to know how to tell if a banana is ripe and if the ones you have are ripe enough. One of the most troubling things I find when promoting fresh fruits and vegetables to people is that they don't understand that many fruits have to ripen before being eaten. You cannot just assume you can simply pick the fruit up from the grocery store display, take it home and eat it right away like a frozen dinner, a box of pasta or a can of beans. (There are a few exceptions like apples and oranges.) As society…Acai Banana Berry Bowl Recipe

I have been having my fill of acai bowls since visiting southern California. Originally they come from Brazil, but they are also popular in Hawaii and many American juice bars. I visited one of my raw food friends in California and had the chance to actually make something while on the road in her kitchen. I went in search of acai frozen smoothie mix (as I haven't seen it yet where I am in Canada) and found some from Sambazon at Whole Foods. (Check their website to find a dealer near you.) It's about $4.99 for four 100g gram packages.…80/10/10 Recipe: Banana Raspberry Pineapple Smoothie

Spring is coming! I know it! We're getting a few sunny days in between the rain here in Vancouver. So sometimes I can take my pictures outside. Yay! I really love pineapple and raspberries in smoothies, I think they make almost as good of a combination as pineapple and black cherries. This is a smoothie I regularly make as it has creaminess from the bananas, the tartness from raspberries, and a tropical pineapple twist to it. As long as you're using fully ripe, spotted bananas as the base you can pretty much throw any frozen fruit into the blender…Fat Free Vegan Valentine’s Day Dessert: Two-Bite Banana Brownies

I have another delicious acai bowl recipe for you with mango and banana. This one is similar to my Acai Banana Berry Bowl Recipe , but it's perfect for summer with this tropical twist. Basically you can top your acai bowl with anything you want, but I know some of you have never had one before and are unsure how to make them at home. Acai is usually sold in a frozen puree for use in smoothies, acai bowls and frozen desserts. You can also buy acai juice, powder and supplements, but I stick with the puree because it's delicious and…80/10/10 Recipe: Beginner’s Green Smoothie Banana Blueberry Spinach

For some of you green smoothies might be something new, or something you've heard of but never tried. Others may make green smoothies regularly and enjoy them. I wanted to share a really easy green smoothie recipe with you today. Something I would call a "basic" or "beginner's green smoothie". #1. Because it's not too frightening looking and you can tell it has berries in it (this may seem a little normal looking). This may also appeal to people who are afraid of drinking something that looks like green grass! #2. It tastes very nice and you cannot detect any…80/10/10 Recipe: Fat Free Raw Vegan Banana Crepes

80/10/10 Recipe: Fat Free Raw Vegan Banana Crepes or Banana Fruit Roll Ups One of the things that are really hard to make on a raw vegan diet are brunch type recipes, especially low fat or fat free ones. While this raw banana crepe recipe is not anything like a real cooked crepe, they are easy to make and fun to eat when you stuff them full of fresh fruit. They look great and kids will like them too. This is a recipe I made when I was first working on Savory Raw Dinner Recipes, and as this is not…Sinless Fat Free Vegan Chocolate Banana Shake Recipe

I don't usually eat a lot of chocolate or use cocoa or cacao in my smoothie recipes, but I'm sure some of you out there have cravings for a chocolate milk shake or smoothie once in a while and I thought I'd make a little treat for us! There are few things more delicious than the combination of bananas with chocolate and even without the traditional ice-cream, this shake is still delicious. The key to making it creamy and naturally sweet is to use fully ripe (lots and lots of spots) bananas. To make this recipe truly fat free I…How To Tell If A Fruit Is Ripe Enough To Eat – Banana, Peach, Nectarine, Pear, Kiwi, Apple, Orange and Tomato

Sometimes you want to know if the fruit you are eating is actually ripe. Especially if you're eating it raw or in a salad, you want to make sure that it's at the peak ripeness (flavour and sweetness) and that it will taste good and not be sour, starchy, bitter or pasty and inedible. Here I show you how to tell if your most common fruits in North America are ripe and when you want to eat them. I couldn't tell from my perspective what the banana would look like when I peeled it. What I meant was that the…Fat Free Vegan Whole Wheat Banana Blueberry Muffins

Oh my... these banana blueberry muffins are delicious. I don't know about you but I just love the little pop of the blueberries when you bite into them! Mashed bananas (make sure they are very ripe so they mash well) are a great substitute for oil and fat in baked goods. So I often use them for this purpose. Plus they add a nice natural sweetness as well which is nice. I use stone ground whole wheat flour in this recipe, but you can use any whole grain flour that you like. If you want a lighter muffin you can…Low Fat Vegan Chocolate Banana Silken Tofu Pudding

Hey everyone! Here is a super easy recipe for those of you looking for a plant based dairy free version of chocolate pudding, perhaps a lot healthier and cheaper than some of the store bought versions like Belsoy or Silk. I use Mori-nu Silken tofu, I find the firm style is a bit better and save the soft version for sauces like my Alfredo sauce. You can add more or less banana if you like, just make sure it is ripe (lots of yellow spots on it) before using so that it is sweet and not starchy and sour.

This heavenly avocado banana green smoothie is a real treat. I normally don't add any nuts or seeds to my smoothies, but I was inspired from our trip to Hawaii a few months ago to make one of these. In many tropical countries the locals use avocados in sweet drinks and desserts instead of just the standard salad topping or guacamole. Avocado is a very versatile fruit and it's extremely creamy and satisfying to eat. Kind of like nature's butter! On it's own it has a very mild taste and is not very overpowering but season it right and it…Plant-Based Chocolate Banana Cream Pie – Oh My! (Dairy-Free and Vegan!)

Ok so you may or may not know but I try not to make desserts very often! You see I don't like to tempt myself by keeping things like this in the house as I used to be addicted to candy and baked goods as a kid. But occasionally I make desserts for special occasions or for guests and I came up with a healthier version of one of my favorites. Chocolate banana cream pie. You see plain old banana cream pie doesn't do it for me... no, no I like to coat the crust in a little melted dark…80/10/10 Recipe: Raw Vegan Strawberry Banana Green Smoothie

I don't know about where you are, but summer is really just starting where I live outside of Vancouver, Canada. The whole Pacific Northwest area is just so darn RAINY we only get a day or two of sun or mixed sun and clouds each week! It's crazy. May was such a beautiful month, we had almost 2 weeks of sunshine and as soon as June hit it was like June-Gloom...

You want to use ripe bananas that are soft and lightly brown speckled and pears that have turned from rock hard green to soft yellow with some brown flecks. Make sure you have ripe pears as well. If your pears have any bad spots in them cut them out before using.

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back home in Vancouver after spending 2 weeks in Oahu and Kauai. Hawaii is still one of my top favourite places in the world. Probably because as an island state it has many more amenities than most smaller tropical islands I've been to (and loads of fresh fruit and veggie friendly restaurant options). It's rather chilly and rainy here right now as we're getting a late start on warm sunny weather, but it's the perfect time to start eating more fresh fruits and vegetables now that summer is approaching. Smoothies are something that there is no…
