MAD SMOOTHIE HEAD

4 January 2019 by Lisette Kreischer Leave a Comment

In 2018 we created MAN.EAT.PLANT…which not only became a book, but also a blog and most of all a signal to the world. Our aim was to redefine masculinity by showing that a true warrior lives and breathes kindness powered by plants. In the book we not only presented the most delicious umami-bombed veggies, we also portrayed 10 inspiring and vigorous souls. Soon after the book got published it was predicted that 2019 would be the year of masculine plant powered foods. Indeed we believe this year is the year that heart and mind will come together creating a force of kindness and breaking up all paradigms so the light can enter. So we thought it would be appropriate that our first recipe of 2019 would be a cool and smooth mix of new years resolutions (stand up for those in need) and statements (vegan is the future) blended into the best food for body and brain you can think of.

Happy New Year dear folks! Make 2019 count for the sake of the animals, this earth and your own self.

Serves 1

INGREDIENTS

Smoothie head
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
juice of 2 oranges
1 frozen banana, peeled and sliced
1 kiwi, peeled and cut into pieces
zest and juice of 1/2 organic lime
pinch of spirulina powder

Grilled fruit
all kinds of fruit for grilling, such as apple, pear, peach, plum, fig and pineapple
1-2 tbsp maple syrup

Granola
6 tbsp oat flakes
4 tbsp desiccated coconut
2 tbsp coconut shavings
1 tbsp oil (eg rice oil)
2 tbsp maple syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

Smoothie head
Put all the ingredients for the smoothie in a blender and blend until smooth.

Grilled fruit
Place fruit on a hot grill and grill until all pieces have dark grill stripes on both sides. Coat the fruit with maple syrup and caramelise briefly.

Granola
Roast oat flakes and coconut briefly in a dry frying pan. Add oil and maple syrup. Lower heat and roast until crispy. Remove pan from heat as soon as the mixture turns golden brown.

Pour the smoothie into the coolest unit you can find. Serve with grilled fruit and granola.

Tip
Freeze your favorite smoothie fruit. Try strawberry, banana, forest fruits and pineapple. Cut the larger fruit into pieces, so you can puree it in the blender. Blend some of this fruit into your smoothie for a nice thick and cold substance. Make sure that the frozen part is a maximum of 30%, because a too cold smoothie will give you a brain (and bowel!) freeze.

 


MAD SMOOTHIE HEAD

In 2018 creëerden Maartje Borst en ik MAN.EAT.PLANT… wat niet alleen een boek werd, maar ook een blog en vooral een signaal voor de wereld. Ons doel was om typische mannelijkheid te herdefiniëren door te laten zien dat een echte warrior vriendelijkheid ademt en leeft, ondersteund op de kracht van planten. In het boek presenteerden we niet alleen de lekkerste met umami gebombardeerde veggies, we portretteerden ook 10 inspirerende en krachtige mannen. Snel na de publicatie van het boek werd voorspeld dat 2019 het jaar zou worden van stoer vegan food en plantaardig eten voor de man. En wij? Wij geloven dat dit jaar het jaar is waarin het hart en het hoofd samenkomen dat een kracht van vriendelijkheid creëert en vervolgens alle paradigma’s kan doorbreken zodat het licht binnen kan komen.
 
Vandaar dat ons eerste recept van 2019 een uit het boek is, speciaal ontwikkeld voor James Aspey, die in MAN.EAT.PLANT. schittert met een sterk interview. Dat interview is een mooie mix van de beste nieuwjaarsresoluties (opkomen voor al in nood) en sterke uitspraken (vegan is NU en de toekomst). Dat gooiden wij in een blender en creëerden het beste voedsel voor hart en hoofd dat je je kunt bedenken. We presenteren je de MAD SMOOTHIE HEAD.
 
Gelukkig Nieuwjaar, lieve mensen! Laat 2019 ertoe doen voor de dieren, deze aarde en jezelf.

 

 

Voor 1 persoon

INGREDIËNTEN

Smoothie
1 avocado, geschild en ontpit
sap van 2 sinaasappels
1 bevroren banaan, in plakjes
1 kiwi, geschild en in stukjes
geraspte schil en sap van [1/2] biologische limoen
mespunt spirulinapoeder

Gegrild fruit
allerlei soorten te grillen fruit naar keuze, zoals appel, peer, perzik, pruim, vijg en ananas
1-2 el ahornsiroop

Granola
6 el grove havervlokken
4 el gemalen kokos
2 el kokosschaafsel
1 el olie (bijv. rijstolie)
2 el ahornsiroop

INSTRUCTIES

Smoothie
Doe alle ingrediënten voor de smoothie in een blender en pureer ze tot een romige massa.

Gegrild fruit
Leg het fruit in een hete grillpan en gril het tot het aan weerszijden mooie donkere grillstrepen krijgt. Blus af met de ahornsiroop en laat kort karamelliseren.

Granola
Rooster de havervlokken en het kokos kort in een droge koekenpan. Voeg de olie en ahornsiroop toe. Zet het vuur lager en rooster de granola knapperig. Neem de pan van het vuur zodra het mengsel goudbruin kleurt.
Schenk de smoothie in de stoerste unit die je kunt vinden. Serveer met het gegrilde fruit en de granola.

Tip
Vries je favoriete smoothiefruit in. Denk aan aardbei, banaan, bosvruchten en ananas. Snijd het grotere fruit in stukken, zodat je het in de blender goed kunt pureren. Blend wat van dit fruit mee in je smoothie voor een lekker dikke en koude substantie. Zorg ervoor dat het bevroren deel maximaal 30% is, want een te koude smoothie bezorgt je een brain (en darm!) freeze.

Presenting a killer kitchen for which NO ONE has to be killed and EVERYONE gains!

We have a new cookbook 🔥 Written for Sam and he We have a new cookbook 🔥
Written for Sam and her pig companions @mymomsam. Because with the arrival of spring, we can almost smell the roasted coals again and what mostly lies on the grill above; the creatures that wanted so much to live. And that lights the fire in our hearts and gets us going. So Maartje pulled out her knives and Lisette her camera to fill the pages of... VLAM IN DE PLANT (Veg on fire). A happy book with an activist touch rich with delicious plant based recipes, a beautiful foreword by @karensoeters and an ode to dear Sam.

We discovered the cuisine of plants years ago and have been vegan for the animals for more than 38 years combined. It was a wonderful bonus that this way of life also turned out to be a lot better for the earth and ourselves. What we did not immediately expect was that this cuisine brought us huge taste explosions! We became big and strong on the power of plants and seduced and enticed by those wonderful flavours and textures. Meanwhile, we feel it is our mission to bring out the potential of this cuisine.

The popularity of BBQ has been skyrocketing for years and we felt it was time to once and for all say bye bye to the for many, boring image of veggies and take plants to great heights by putting them on fire. The plant based kitchen deserves the spotlight. And the BBQ is a great tool to make vegetables incredibly flavoursome. By cooking veg on the BBQ with the right spices, you enrich your kitchen with insane flavours and contribute to less suffering at the same time. So be tempted and seduced by the abundance of vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, weeds, fruits and herbs and fire up those plants.

Available to order now at all (online) bookstores in The Netherlands, via link in bio and @maartjeborst.

Vlam in de Plant could not have come about without Pig Sam, Karen Soeters, Stichting Melief, House of Animals, Diewertje van Wering and, of course, Kosmos Publishers. We are extremely grateful to all of them. ❤️🔥🙏🏼

FISH-FREE MEDITERRANEAN ORZO This delicious orzo FISH-FREE MEDITERRANEAN ORZO

This delicious orzo dish with roasted vegetables takes little time to make and is bursting with flavour. The tuna-like flavour of @goodcatchfoods Fish Free Tuna by our friend @dereksarno goes well with savoury flavour bombs like olives and capers, and the creamy orzo provides an excellent stage for this goodness.

Hungry already? Recipe now up on the blog (link in bio).

Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in Th Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in The Netherlands, so maybe it is not the best time to fire up that BBQ and start roasting the hell out of those veggies. But we pray for sunshine and when that sun starts shining tofu, seitan, tempeh and mushrooms will hit a bowl of marinade and will be roasted like there is no tomorrow.

The time we've all been waiting for is finally her The time we've all been waiting for is finally here. The summer family BBQ! The best time for a good toast under the sun, and a tasty roast too! Roasted tempeh and grilled tofu topped with tasty sauces are the perfect ingredients to set the summer vibes we’ve been looking forward to.

And yes, you read right. In the family summer BBQ we imagine, animals are more than welcome to attend as long as they are enjoying the moment with us, and not there as a sacrifice for us.

Sam and her family would be the first to say thanks for leaving meat behind this summer - and hopefully forever more! Sam is a mother of 251 piglets, of which only 9 are here today due to the industry. She became one of the lucky ones in February 2021 when she was rescued while pregnant with her little ones by @meliefanimalsanctuary. In wanting to show the spirit of those behind the isolated walls of the meat industry, House of Animals will be launching a documentary about Sam’s story and those of her piglets in 2022.

This summer and all days to come, let’s honor Sam and all the souls we’ve lost as a result of the industry by eating plant-based, succulent BBQs! Inspired by Sam’s story, House of Animals created a recipe book with the help of us, @maartjeborst and @lisettekreischer, which will make your summer glimmer with taste, rich flavors and joy. Download it for free on the website @mymomsam (link in our bio).

SUNNY SIDES UP Drum rolls, please! FAMILY.EAT.PL SUNNY SIDES UP

Drum rolls, please!

FAMILY.EAT.PLANT. has hit planet Earth and here is the first recipe to go online! And certainly not the least! Yes, we know, what you see here in the pic looks suspiciously like a sandwich with sunny-side-up eggs. But none of that!

What you see are peaches (or apricots) with a cheesy sauce. Maartje’s father used to make this recipe often on the weekend. Super easy, super yummy.

You can keep it plain and simple by just making the cheesy sauce, and prep the toast with the sauce and peaches, or you can go wild and throw some slices of vegan ham on there.

Recipe now up on the blog (link in bio).
