I spotted this colorful recipe on Peace Love Shea’s blog, and it just looked so yummy! It definitely delivered, with serious flavor. It’s a great Spring dish, I highly recommend throwing on your ruffled apron and getting your bake on.

To speed up your time in the kitchen, I recommend piercing the spaghetti squash and microwaving it for 6 minutes, flipping it over and microwaving another 6 minutes, until tender. (You may want to check on the squash in intervals, since some microwaves are more powerful than others.)

This “pasta” can be served hot or cold, making it the perfect party dish! I paired it along with a balsamic baked portobello mushroom and steamed kale.

Zucchini Pasta

Zucchini Pasta

Zucchini noodles are a healthy alternative to pasta that I often order, while eating out.  When I came across this gadget online, I knew immediately that I needed to own it. It spirals every thing from zucchini to cucumbers, and is really simple to use.

Zucchini Pasta #vegan #glutenfree

Once zucchini is spiraled, it can be eaten raw in salads or boiled like pasta noodles. In a sauce pan, bring water to a boil and add zucchini. Boil for two minutes. Strain the noodles and get rid of any excessive water.

Zucchini Pasta #vegan #glutenfreeGet creative by adding a sauce and additional veggies. For a quick dinner, I added organic marinara sauce, fresh oregano, pepper, kalamata olives, cannellini beans and nutritional yeast (which has a nutty/cheesy flavor & is high protein & in Vitamin B.) Vegan, gluten-free and low calorie, it’s great for a “lean & green” dinner.

It’s no surprise that I love breakfast foods, particularly pancakes. I’m always in search of trying new healthy/vegan recipes sans the loaded sugar and butter. With September being National Breakfast Month, and today being National Pancake Day, I wanted to share a healthy pancake recipe from the current issue of Fitness Magazine.

I was excited to see a vegan pancake recipe in the October issue of Fitness Magazine. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about is the amount of sodium in the recipe, which I omitted completely. I recommend adding a packet of Stevia, or any other add-ins such as blueberries, nuts, or chocolate chips.


Banana-Oatmeal Pancakes

Makes: 8 Pancakes (Using 1/4-Cup batter servings, mine made 14)
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2-C Soy Milk (I used Almond Milk)
  • 1 C Rolled Oats
  • 2 Bananas, chopped
  • 1/2-C All-Purpose Flour (I used Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour)
  • 1 T + 1 t Baking Powder
    1. In a blender, puree soy milk* and oats until smooth. Add bananas, flour, 1/2 t salt*, and baking powder and puree a few seconds more. Let batter rest for 10 minutes.
    2. Heat a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Mist with nonstick cooking spray, then scoop batter into pan in 1/4-Cup increments. Reduce heat to medium low and cook pancakes until air bubbles appear and underside is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook about 5 minutes more. Top with sliced bananas and maple syrup if desired.

Nutritional facts per serving if recipe makes 8 Pancakes (2 pancakes): 235 Calories, 8g Protein, 46g Carbohydrates, 3g Fat, 5g Fiber, 780 mg Sodium (with salt) 23 mg Sodium (without salt)

benefits, breakfast, broiled, fiber, grapefruit, health, healthy, low-calorie, recipe, snack, vegan, weight loss

If you aren’t a fan of grapefruit, after trying this recipe you might just become one. I love grapefruit, but this version is the right amount of sweetness/tanginess.

  • 1/2 packet of Stevia
  • 1/2 Grapefruit

Sprinkle grapefruit with stevia, and place in oven/toaster oven. Broil at a high temperature for 8-10 minutes.

Calories: 41

Health benefits of grapefruit include a great source of antioxidants, lowers cholesterol, increases metabolic rate, and it’s high in fiber.

As a lover of vegetables (and Italian), I couldn’t wait to try spaghetti squash. This recipe has a great subtle touch of garlic. I mixed in my mom’s homemade spaghetti sauce and topped it with fresh basil. It was the perfect combination of flavor. At only 92 calories, it was not only healthy, but surprisingly very filling!

As a vegan and total health nut, I’m always on the search for whole foods breakfast alternatives that are easy to travel with. I recently discovered BetterOats Pure and Simple. Packed with five whole grains and free of sugar and preservatives, it’s low-fat and low calorie. It is a good source of fiber and protein, making it a great pre-workout meal! Each pack of oatmeal doubles as a convenient measuring cup. I choose the “bare” flavor, and add in fresh berries, or bananas and coconut to switch up the flavor each day. Did I mention it’s organic? I’m hooked.
