Thank You From The Speedy Vegan.........Perfect Vegan Gluten-Free Crêpes

Thank you to everyone who has purchased The Vegan Health Bundle using my affiliate link…..I appreciate you! Don’t forget it ends at midnight Sunday March 10th, 2024. This is the recipe I presented Live on Chef AJ’s YouTube - watch the replay HERE.

Perfect Vegan Gluten-Free Crêpes

Ingredients

1 cup oat flour*

1 cup brown rice flour

2 1⁄2 cups unsweetened plant-based milk

2 ripe spotty bananas, peeled

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

4 tablespoons raw cacao (optional for

making chocolate crêpes)

1 tablespoon date syrup (optional if

making chocolate crêpes)

*Blend gluten-free rolled oats in a blender to make the oat flour. 1 cup of rolled oats yields 1 cup of oat flour.

Instructions

1. Add all the ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth and then set aside. You can make the batter ahead of time and leave it in the refrigerator overnight if needed. Just thin it out with extra plant-based milk when ready to cook.

2. Preheat an electric ceramic griddle to 325°F. I recommend using the Presto non-stick ceramic griddle. If using a non-stick pan, heat it up right before making the crêpes.

3. Pour about a 1⁄4 cup of the batter onto the griddle or pan. Tilt the griddle or pan around to swirl. Spread the batter as thinly and evenly as possible.

4. Cook for 1-2 minutes and then use a spatula to carefully flip over the crêpe. Then cook on the other side for approximately 1 minute. Remove the crêpe from the pan. Continue making crêpes with the rest of the batter.

5. Fill the crêpes with your choice of fruit. Roll them up and serve them warm with a drizzle of melted chocolate or peanut butter over the top. You can also fold them up and garnish them with fresh fruit.

6. You can refrigerate leftover crêpes in an airtight container for a day or two. You can also freeze the crêpes with a layer of parchment paper between each crêpe. Thaw them at room temperature and then reheat them before you serve.

Note: We often make half a batch without the cacao powder. Then we add half the cacao powder and half the date syrup to the second half of the batter so we have both vanilla and chocolate crêpes!

Surfs Up Kale Salad

Serves 4

Ingredients

6 cups or one bunch curly kale,

shredded and steams removed

1⁄2 avocado

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 cup cooked quinoa

2 oranges segmented or cut in rounds

1 cup hearts of palm, sliced (optional)

Salt-free seasoning and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1⁄2 cup slivered almonds (optional)

Instructions

1. Add the kale, avocado and

lemon juice to a large mixing bowl. With clean or gloved hands, “massage” the kale for several minutes, mashing the avocado and lemon juice into the leaves until they soften.

2. Add the quinoa to the kale and toss to combine.

3. Top with the orange segments and hearts of palm.

4. Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat and then add the almonds right before serving so they stay crunchy.

Chefs Note: Kale is very hardy so this salad holds up very well in an airtight container in the refrigerator overnight.

Collard Wraps with Mango Ginger Dipping Sauce

There is something so satisfying about chomping into these wraps. They are vibrant, fun to make and leave you feeling light, nourished and energized.

Ingredients for the Collard Wraps

3-4 large collard leaves

1 red peppers, julienned

1 English cucumber, julienned

1 mango, sliced

1 cup purple cabbage, sliced

1 carrot, julienned

1 cup cauliflower rice or cooked whole grain of your choice

1⁄2 cup cannellini beans or garbanzos, mashed

1 green onion, sliced

Fresh basil or cilantro

Ingredients for the Mango Ginger Dipping Sauce

1 cup fresh or frozen mango cubed

1 teaspoon ginger, minced

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Instructions

1. Make the dipping sauce by adding all the ingredients to a small

blender and set aside.

2. Prepare all vegetables and fruit for the filling and arrange then

on a platter or in individual storage containers.

3. Lay the collard leaves on a chopping board and carefully slice

away some of the stem on the back end of the leaf. Quickly

blanch the leaves one at a time in a pan of hot water. Take each

leaf out of the water after 15-20 seconds and cool on a clean

kitchen towel.

4. Place the collard leaves on a chopping board with the

shiny/smooth side facing down. Layer your choice of fillings in

the center of each leaf and roll them up like a burrito. Cut them

in half with a serrated knife and arrange in a bowl with the cut

side facing up. Tuck a small bowl of the dipping sauce in the

bowl with the collard wraps and serve.

Chef’s Note: Use your choice of fruit, vegetables, beans and grains

and come up with your own favorite combinations.

One of the brightest stars in the whole food, plant-based universe is shining even brighter now – to the benefit of us all. 

My story: I have been following Chef AJ for several years and met her in person, pre-covid at a few of the many vegan conferences where she was presenting nationwide. I was already plant-based when she crossed my path, but became doubly inspired by her riveting story in her original book, Unprocessed.  As a result, I immediately shifted to a whole food plant based lifestyle -- and never looked back!

The Real Truth About Weight Loss Summit

The most pressing health crisis of our time…

Did you know that overweight is the second leading cause of cancer? For women obesity is even expected to overtake smoking as top cause of preventable cancer... (1)

“You have cancer” may be the three most feared words in the world…

But it doesn’t stop there:

We are up to 60 times more likely to get diabetes the heavier we get (2)...

In fact researchers concluded that there are 60 conditions that get worse with overweight...

"The reason our kids will most likely live shorter lives than we are is because of the obesity epidemic" - Dr. Michael Greger

In short:

The obesity epidemic is the most pressing health crisis of our time. And we have to solve it if we want our kids stand a chance...

The good news is: there are solutions, based on unbiased research and proven in practice (click here for a great place to get up to speed: https://therealtruthaboutweightloss.com/?ref=elspethfeldman).

Unfortunately knowing what to do is often not enough… doing what we know often seems impossible when it comes to eating right…

And there is a reason for it!

Click here to watch a short but powerful video that explains why it’s so hard. https://therealtruthaboutweightloss.com/?ref=elspethfeldman

Some may even call it an addiction. Just like my friend Chef AJ who suffered with weight issues for over 50 years…

And even if obesity doesn’t affect you and your loved ones, this event deserves everyone’s support because only by stopping the obesity epidemic can we give our kids a chance to live happy and long lives..

It seems like every family is affected by obesity and the related diseases like diabetes, heart disease or cancer...

At the same time you won't find another topic with more conflicting advice than how to lose weight...

That's why for the first time ever 32 world-renowned doctors, dietitians and inspirations are coming together to help you lose weight naturally, keep it off and finally achieve the body and health you deserve.
