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.

Dear peeps, We have let our minds wander in regar Dear peeps,

We have let our minds wander in regards to the new reality we are finding ourselves in and to say it with the words of @zachbushmd (check out his posts!) we 'strongly believe there is too much bandwidth of the collective human consciousness spent on this topic’ so we are not gonna add anything to that besides a few things:

1. @thedutchweedburger just posted an amazing article on their blog that to us says it all

2. we are not quite sure if we will be able to continue our friday posts during the coming period, but will do our best to offer easy and delicious plant based inspiration, maybe through our stories

3. because we see a lot of sadness on social media right now we thought this recipe might cheer you up a bit. Just because a smile can do so much for yourself, your body and the world around you.

We created these Pupcakes in service of @worldanimalprotectionnl and you can find the recipe via their website (link in bio) in Dutch. If you need English, Google is your friend ;-). These vegan puppy dogs are worth a translation.

Stay safe!

Maartje & Lisette

VEG BOMBED GREEN CURRY Although we are still in t VEG BOMBED GREEN CURRY

Although we are still in the middle of the winter, it feels like spring every other day and that is why we felt a craving for a light and crispy curry stuffed with leafy greens and fresh flavours. And yes, we know we promised over at MAN.EAT.PLANT. never to do a bowl of green food on a white background. But given the fact that we aren't crazy about (even our own) rules and conventions we did a delicious bowl full of green food on a light background anyway. The comfort food box is checked though, we made sure of that.
