For Vegan Pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Celebration !
Did you know that Vegan population is slowly growing, today, comprises 6% of Americans whereas only 1% in the 80’s. So it’s not odd that we have some Vegans in the family. One thing I do like about vegan diet is that it makes one really think about how to create nutritious suppers without reliance on animal products. It makes us look into researching for recipes and get creative. Desserts are probably the easiest as it’s a matter of finding substitutes for butter and eggs … two main ingredients in most baking. Sugar is sugar … while we can make healthy substitution with agave, maple syrup, dates, dried fruits, apple sauce … to sweeten. Ah, my favorite would be AMAZAKE – Japanese fermented sweet drink – super yummy:) Making them at home is easy.
I did not know that juice of garbanzo beans can be whipped into this white cloudy foam just like egg whites !!!? Everything about these desserts are 100% plant based & it’s simply … Delicious ! It is said that there’re no replacements for butter but … I beg to differ – Have you tried Miyoko’s “butter” and “cream cheese” spreads? In some ways better than butter while I have nothing against butter – just against a rigid and inflexible mindsets and stiff bodies and thinking that does not allow for thinking outside of the box and be open to alternatives and differences … receptivity and openness.
Who would have thought Garbanzo Beans juice to make this egg white substitute so well … white, foamy and silky … amazing.
Fold in the white fluff into pumpkin puree and maple syrup …and spices.
Into a pie shell made with ground pecans, almond and coconut oil:)
Devoured right away – missed the photo opportunity of a whole pie … served with Coconut whipped cream and/or Cashew Vanilla yogurt … super creamy:)
Vegan chocolate tart – super creamy and luscious with cacao and cocoa (what’s the diff?) Again, devoured by the crowd … 
Grateful for the talented baker churning out these delightful sweets 🙂 Night before Thanksgiving, sharing Vegan style. Thank you for the abundance; thank you for the kind nourishment for our body and soul.
- note: I am not Vegan but enjoy mini-fasting and detox with vegan diet on seasonable basis for cleanse.
