Inka Shake

Inka Shake

Inka is a powder that is made from roasted barley. Usually I drink it hot mixed with water to replace coffee. Recently I saw a internet post for a coffee shake. I immediately thought I could make a healthy version using Inka and a banana. It turned out so well, that my daughter likes to take it to work to sip on during the day.
Ingredients

1 1/2 cups unsweetened soy milk, I use Silk Brand
7 ice cubes
pinch stevia
1 tsp vanilla
1 small banana
1/4 cup dates
pinch cinnamon
2 Tablespoons Inka powder

Directions

Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and process until smooth and creamy.

Enjoy!

Eggless Egg Sandwiches

Eggless Egg Sandwiches

I have played around with this recipe quite a bit so that it suits my family's tastes. Firm tofu works the best in this recipe, but using a softer tofu that is lower in fat also works, but the end result is creamier in texture. I generally top each sandwich with sliced pickles and lettuce.




Ingredients

1 block firm tofu, medium firm also works, but results in a creamier texture
1 19 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/3 cup prepared mustard, I use Sweet with Heat by President's Choice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp black salt

1/2 cup celery, diced fine
1/2 cup green onion, diced fine
1/2 cup cucumber, diced fine

Tofu Mayo

1 pkg soft tofu
1 Tablespoon sugar or 1/4 tsp stevia
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 Tablespoons prepared mustard, I use Sweet with Heat by President's Choice
1/4 tsp salt

Directions

For the Egg Filling

Place the tofu, chickpeas, nutritional yeast, mustard, garlic powder, chili flakes, turmeric, black pepper and black salt into a food processor and process until desired consistency is reached. I like it a little chunky. Transfer to a mixing bowl.

Add in the celery, green onion and cucumber. Combine well.

For the Tofu Mayo

Place all ingredients into a food processor or blender. Process until creamy and smooth.

To assemble sandwich, place mayo on a slice of bread. Top with egg filling and cover with another slice of bread spread with more mayo. I like to add a sliced pickle and lettuce to my sandwich.

Enjoy!
