Following my recipe on Raw + cooked Sushi with raw-vegan Carrot Hummus from last year and my recent Yellow Sushi recipe with turmeric rice, me and my flatmates made a huge amount of vegan and non-vegan Sushi last weekend in celebration of 1st Advent, so i needed to share this.
Our Sunday Sushi Making included an inside-out roll and a batch of yummy vegan Hummus!

To be completely honest: Right now i would love to cry because i made and typed in this recipe a few days ago, and now i accidentally deleted it and can't get it back, so i quickly have to re-type everything - by heart! Very, very frustrating -.-
But that's what life is like, right?
Shit happens.
Gotta move on.

Good morning, pancake!
'Scuse me? An egg-less, wheat-less, milk-less pancake? How's that gonna work? Let me tell you - it works pretty well. I made these pretty babies for my beloved flatmates last weekend, and they were pretty impressed with the outcome! Right, guys? (raising eyebrow)
Instead of wheat flour, you can use oats, buckwheat, almond flour, even coconut flour. Instead of eggs we use flaxseed and bananas. And instead of dairy milk we go with non-dairy milk - i recommend the creamy almond milk, but any other kind will work fine too!
random side note: ever since last Thursday you can actually add me and follow my blog on Google+ to get your updates instantly. Just throwin that out there :)

For the longest time i thought strawberries were my absolute favourite berries, and maybe raspberries after that. Turns out, blueberries are pretty great too!
I can't believe it took me so long to make some blueberry ice cream (i mean, i have made stracciatella, pina colada and toffee ice cream with cookie dough, for God's sake!), but now that i have discovered the beauty of raw vegan Blueberry Ice Cream, my world has gained another flavour.
And it is SO GOOD.
Seriously. It's good.
Just look at that colour!

...And my Ice Cream Galore [summer special] ist hereby over! I can't believe how fast i posted these 20 raw vegan ice creams. So now i'ts back to "New Posts on Wednesdays & Sundays". But first i gotta throw some glitter for the grand gelato finale and present to you the coolest raw ice cream ever (#gettit? cool.) Anyway - i saved the best until last...
STRACCIATELLA!
Inspired by Harriet's stracciatella gelato over here (using coconut milk), i decided to make a raw vegan, fat-free and of course dairy-free version, using only bananas and cacao. Sound crazy? Well it's crazy good.

Chocolate ice cream wasn't enough for you? How 'bout a big bowl of DOUBLE chocolate ice cream then? :) This will definitely satisfy any chocolate craving you might have.
NOTE: Do prepare the chocolate sauce ahead of your ice cream! When i made this I did it the other way around, and as you can see my ice cream was already melting by the time i was finally done with the sauce... (see below)

Picking fresh raspberries in the morning is one of my favorite things to do. Conveniently my parents have two raspberry bushes in their garden (both red and golden cultivars! i love the golden ones, they're so sweet and they fruit twice a year, once in early summer and once in fall!).
I like to pick them early in the morning when no one is up yet and it is quiet outside, a little chilly, the raspberries glistening with morning dew... It's a great way to start the day.

Chocolate
for breakfast? Uh yeah. This is my jam. Vegan lifestyle is boring? Hell no! Along with my Matcha ice cream and Peppermint ice cream, this is my all-time favourite "nice cream".
Who needs chocolate candy if you can make your own 100% plant-based healthy chocolate ice cream?! i mean, seriously.

Don't worry, all banana haters, this one is FREE FROM BANANAS!
Even though my other "nice creams" don't really taste like banana either because of their overpowering flavouring such as chocolate, mint, chai, mango, coffee etc. - but i know if you can't stand a particular taste, you will sense it even at the smallest dose. So here's a very easy and delicious Raspberry ice cream for those of you who don't like bananas :)
The great thing about sherbets is: they have the fruity lightness of a sorbet and the creaminess of milk.

Piña Colada in ice cream form? - Yes please!
Instead of rum, coconut cream and pineapple juice we got pineapple cubes, shredded coconut, and of course the obligatory banana to make it creamier. You could also add in some coconut milk though.
Honestly, i prefer this lush tropical "nice cream" a dozen times over the actual cocktail - it doesn't give you a hangover, it will make you feel energized instead of drowsy, and it's just much more fun to sit at the pool and spoon up a big heap of Piña Colada Ice Cream - especially when it's served in a pineapple bowl :)

How 'bout a bowl of cool mint ice cream on a hot summer's day?
Uh yeah, you've come to the right place my dear.
This is one of my favourite nice creams - okay, all of them are kind of my favourite because i could eat them all day long, but this is really one of the best, along with my Matcha ice cream and plain Chocolate ice cream!

To me, this is the perfect summer ice cream!
It's light, fresh and sort of cooling - and since we are using real lemons for this, it does not taste artificial at all. It has a wonderful tart flavor from the lemon juice and just enough sweetness to not overpower it.
My mum tasted this ice cream, and she says it's her favourite so far! (she used to love dairy-based lemon yogurt ice cream and lemon sherbet!)
*BTW: am i the only one who thinks of Harry Potter when someone mentions "sherbet"?

I don't know about you, but ever since last summer i am in love with sweet juicy peaches, especially saturn peaches (they're also called paraguayo peaches or donut/doughnut peaches because of their flat, donut-like shape).
So i figured, why not make an ice cream with these! Right? This recipe would work just as well with nectarines though!

Even though the picture makes it look like a melted mess, this sorbet was super yummy and cooling, making it the perfect refresher on a hot summer's day! If you were to prepare this like my Lemon Ice Cream (recipe: coming on Tuesday!), you should end up with a proper creamy ice cream, but since this looks very... runny, i will call a sorbet. I should've added another frozen banana to this. Anyway - This recipe would also be perfect for popsicles!
Ingredients
3 large ripe bananas, frozen - i used 2 but recommend 3!
juice of 1/2 lime
3-5 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped - depending on your liking, i'm using 3 + 2 to garnish
1 tsp agave syrup or preferred sweetener (optional) - i'm not using any!
also:
- a high-speed blender or food processor (NO NEED FOR AN ICE CREAM MAKER!)
Instructions
Okay, you know the drill: Place frozen banana pieces in your blending machine (high-speed blender, food processor or juicer), blend for a few seconds, add lime juice and basil, then keep blending until creamy smooth. You could also use the juice of 1/2 lemon instead of lime, but... well, it wouldn't be a Basil Lime Sorbet any more then, would it.
Don't dawdle about or it will melt! :)

It's no secret that i am a fan of green smoothies (it's seriously the best way to get a whole lot of amazing nutrients in your body before the day has even really begun), and since i recently read Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book i thought it would be perfect to make a Jungle-themed smoothie.

Chai Tea is one of my favourite beverages of all time (i even made a recipe for Masala Chai!), and personally i have never seen Chai ice cream anywhere, so i thought i would come up with a recipe that is even dairy-free, raw and vegan! YAY!
*Note: if you don't have a Chai spice mix at hand, you can either make it yourself (see below) or cut open a teabag of Chai tea, and use the leaves and spices from that!

Hello lovelies,
it's my 200th post today, hurray :) such a cool coincidence! and cool leads to ice cream, so it's all one huge meaningful circle, ahaha! (okay, i'll stop now. but it's honestly a coincidence. and the lame pun was honestly just a spontaneous brain fart, lol.)
More importantly it's SUMMER TIME which for me means ICE CREAM TIME, whoop-whoop! And since people seem think that vegans - or even worse: raw vegans - can't eat anything but carrots and apples and lettuce, i'm gonna prove you wrong, my dear.

So over the course of July i will present to you a total of - cling on tight - 21 raw vegan Ice Creams. Oh yes, you've read right. I have made all these delicious ice cream creations over the past few weeks, which i will now share with you and your tummies. There will be a blog post every single day for the month of July, until you get sick of it - hopefully you won't. I'm even thinking about changing my blog name to The Ice Cream Girl, lol. (not really though).
Raw vegan ice creams are super easy to make and super good for you: free of unnatural sugars, processed ingredients, animal products, and chemicals. Apart from that it does not require much time, money, or many ingredients to prepare this beauty. Oh and it does NOT require an ice cream maker either! How great is that? So if you do not have the luxury of an actual ice cream maker, use a blending machine, a food processor, a juicer, or even a hand-held blender. I always use my high-speed blender! (this one)
Knock yourself out my dear.

After me babbling on about books and films last time it calls for a sweet and simple post today. May i present to you MASCARA MARILYN. Yep, that's right. What you're looking at is the result of me playing around with two pretty-much-empty mascaras that were waiting to be thrown away - until i decided it would be a great idea to use the mascara applicator and the remaining "paint" to make a clumsy portrait of Marilyn Monroe. Yeah... she'd probably be turning in her grave if she knew, lol.
The downside to this is that first of all the thick brush isn't exactly the most precise drawing tool, and second of all you cannot undo anything, which bugs the heck out of me (for example the shade above her right nostril which i'm frickin' itching to correct -.-) And i don't really understand why some parts seem to be black and others brown because the two mascara bottles i was using were both black! But hey it was actually loads of fun and now i have black spotted hands and i feel like i have brilliantly recycled my mascara and did a good thing, haha! (by the way, i used this picture as a template) And no, i will not google if other people have painted with mascara - because i'd probably find out that it's already a thing and then i won't feel as inventive and brilliant any more :'D okay, maybe i will actually google it.
But first let me finish off this post with a quote (not a Marilyn quote though) that i stumbled upon recently and wanted to share:
"It took a few years to be comfortable in my own skin..
and just like everyone else, i still struggle with it at times.
So knowing my strength and my worth,
gives me the freedom to be who i am and realize,
"I'm not always going to fit everyone".
But it's like music or any type of art,
if it makes you feel genuine and complete, it's always worth the risk."
