Vegeterian Tips: Pizza and pasta are a great way to go for vegetarians, but just be careful of all those carbs and eat them in moderation. If you don t eat dairy, ask for a slice of pizza with sauce topped with tons of veggies and see how great it tastes, and how good it is for you.

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 cup soy (unsweetened) or rice milk
• 1 frozen banana (peeled and cut into chunks before frozen)
• 6 dates (Medjool variety are best)
• 1 tablespoon of vegan maple syrup or other sweetene
• dash of nutmeg and cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

Place soy milk in blender and at low speed, add dates, one at a time
until the dates are completely pulverized. Add frozen banana chunks,
one at a time until you achieve the consistency you like. Add maple
syrup and spices. Serve immediately!

I like to pour this into a bowl, freeze it slightly, and eat it with
a spoon. Yum!!!!

Serves: 1 – 2

Preparation time: 5 mins.

Vegeterian Tips: Read the sandwich descriptions on your menu. Most would be quite tasty and still filling without the meat. Just make sure to tell your server that you want to hold the chicken or roast beef, and to double up on the veggies and cheese.

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 papaya, about 2 1/2 cups cubed
• juice of 1 lime, about 1/4 cup
• vegan sugar syrup (1/2 cup each sugar and water)

Directions:

Combine the vegan sugar and water in a heavy saucepan.
Bring to a boil over high heat and cook uncovered for 5 to 6 minutes, or until liquid has reduced to about 1/2 cup.
Set aside to cool.
While you”re making the vegan sugar syrup, peel and seed the papaya.
Place the chunks of fruit in the work bowl of a food processor.
Juice the lime and toss the juice in with the papaya.
Process until you have a completely smooth puree.

Stir in the vegan sugar syrup and pour the whole works into a 9-inch square metal dish.
Freeze until firm, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
When the fruit puree is frozen, remove it from the freezer.
You should be able to lift it effortlessly out of the pan.

Break it into small chunks and put the chunks back into the food processor.
Whizz it around for a while.
The longer you whizz it, the more the texture of the sorbet will resemble ice cream.
It can get really good!
Devour immediately or scoop into an airtight dish (Tupperware works well) and freeze. You can store it for up to 1 month with no loss of flavor.

I have about a bazillion recipes for sorbet, all using different fruits. The proportions remain the same; vary the lime juice according to what fruit you are using. Sometimes you may not need any at all!
Try layering different flavors of sorbet in a champagne glass, rainbow style, and garnishing with fresh fruit, edible flowers, or a sprig of mint. I served this to my ice-cream-loving friends and they were wowed!

Some foods may often times have

Vegeterian Tips: Eat a dark green vegetable broccoli, spinach, kale, collard greens at least three times a week. These nutritional powerhouses are packed full of vitamins such as calcium and iron.
