Vegan “Blizzard”

Cookie Dough Balls

Yield: 1 cup packed cookie dough

• 1/2 cup unsalted cashews
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour (other flours may work)
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1.5 tbsp natural cane sugar
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 3-4 tbsp pure maple syrup (or a bit more if dough is too dry)
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions: In a food processor, add the cashews and oats and process until it forms a fine crumble. Now add in the salt, sugar, and flour and process for a few seconds more. Add in the maple syrup and vanilla and process until combined. It will be sticky, but this is normal! Add in your chocolate chips and stir by hand or process. Form into balls. Store in freezer.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough “Blizzard”

Yield: 2 servings

• 3 peeled and frozen bananas, cut into 1 inch chunks for easier processing
• Splash of non-dairy milk (if needed)
• 2 tbsp cookie dough (from above)

Directions: In a large food processor, add in your 3 frozen bananas. I like to cut my bananas into 1 inch chunks before freezing. Process bananas, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Finally, add in your cookie dough and process until combined. You should have a soft serve type consistency when done. To make the blizzard simply stir in your desired amount of mini cookie dough balls, pour into a glass, and serve with a spoon. Makes 2 servings.

“The evidence strongly suggests that our lack of disgust [at eating certain kinds of animals] is largely, if not entirely, learned. We aren’t born with our schemas; they are constructed. Our schemas have evolved out of a highly structured belief system. This system dictates which animals are edible, and it enables us to consume them by protecting us from feeling any emotional or psychological discomfort when doing so. The system teaches us how to not feel.”
(Melanie Joy, author of “Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows”)

“All animals deserve to live and be free. Take death out of your diet – go vegan!”

Experimented with dinner and it turned out to be delicious!

Mushrooms, broccoli, bok choy, brown rice, brown onion, minced garlic, fresh chillies, firm tofu, nutritional yeast, ground coriander and a tiny bit of low sodium soy sauce.

Uh! So good

“We know we cannot be kind to animals until we stop exploiting them — exploiting animals in the name of science, exploiting animals in the name of sport, exploiting animals in the name of fashion, and yes, exploiting animals in the name of food.”
