Bananas recipes for vegans & vegetarians

I’ve eaten this crunchy hemp coconut fruit salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s light enough and yet filling enough to be eaten at any time of day, and you can make it in 5 minutes flat, with no special equipment necessary.

If you want to start cleaning out your brain and getting it working even better than ever before, then here’s a great smoothie that combines some awesome detoxifying ingredients, while also tasting pretty amazing!

Banana bread is a fantastic way to use up overripe bananas, but the typical recipes are packed to the rafters with sugar, even the vegan ones. So I created this wholefood vegan banana bread recipe. It’s gluten-free, paleo and naturally sweetened. How about that?

This raw vegan banana raspberry smoothie is a quick and delicious way to use up a summer bounty of fresh raspberries. With just four ingredients, this smoothie is super easy to make, and even easier to drink. Sweet, creamy and tangy. Mmmmmm.

This raw vegan mango lassi is sweet, tangy and creamy – everything a perfect mango lassi needs to be. Full of flavour and fresh, whole ingredients – mango, banana, cashews and dates. So tasty and sweet, it’s like dessert in a glass.

This raw pina colada smoothie combines the rich and creamy taste of coconut milk with the tang of fresh pineapple, which is then perfectly melded together with banana, dates and vanilla. And did I mention that there’s tiny paper umbrellas?

This amazing delicious, incredibly versatile winter green smoothie recipe uses pears, apples and bananas, and works amazingly well with every leafy green I’ve thrown at it. So far I’ve tried spinach, chard/silverbeet, arugula/roquette, kale, bok choy, chicory, collards and chinese broccoli. Amazing.

Yesterday for lunch, I made a quick fruit salad, with one sliced banana and two sliced strawberries, added a few generous spoonfuls of my tasty coconut yoghurt, and topped it off with a drizzle of raw orange marmalade. Yum.

This raw carob banana smoothie is dangerously delicious. But, hey, if you’re eating such amazing food, does it really matter? My 4yo also loves to drink it, so it must be awesome, and being so fast to whip up too, it makes a great dinner or afternoon snack.

There’s nothing quite like starting a cold winter’s day with a warm, hearty breakfast, and this raw banana oatmeal porridge fits the bill nicely. It’s fast, it’s easy and it’s oh so satisfying.

I never thought I’d enjoy drinking parsley in a green smoothie. But this parsley pear green smoothie has a sweet, gentle, amazing taste that reminds me of cinnamon. Amazingly delicious!

A super simple, super delicious persimmon fruit salad for breakfast. I had some VERY over-ripe persimmons that needed using, so I made a quick fruit salad with bananas, kiwifruit and grapes.
