Happy Friday my plant-based friends!
Sorry for being a little absent this week! School got intense and I barely had time to sleep let alone blog. I’ve been studying and working a lot so things have been intense. I even had a couple cups of caffeinated coffee! *gasp*. For those of you who don’t know I gave up coffee a few months ago and hadn’t fallen off the wagon so this was pretty huge. It was just so necessary after this week!
Thankfully, things have quieted down for now so I’m really pumped to peruse all the awesome vegan recipes I know you guys are going to share!
For those of you who don’t know, Healthy Vegan Fridays is a new weekly blog hop hosted by myself, Shelby @ Everyday Vegan Girl and Carrie @ Carrie on Vegan. It is a place to share your healthy vegan recipes that make use of whole ingredients and minimize the use of processed and refined foods. The recipes shared on this link up are intended to emphasis the beauty, creativity and benefits of a healthy, plant-based diet!
Last week was another awesome party, thanks so much guys! Here’s the recap:
Most Popular Submissions
Individual chocolate cake with caramel frosting from Rachel @ Almonds & Avocados
I would just eat that frosting with a spoon!
Squash Carob Brownies from Victoria at Sweet Healthy Living
The ingredients list on these is awesome! I love how they’re mostly coconut flour and squash!
How to make a quinoa smoothie from Katherine @ Green Thickies
Get some extra protein in and up the filling factor on your smoothies, genius!
My Top Picks
Favourite Main Event: The Perfect Sunset Borscht from Hannah @ Wayfaring Chocolate
Even though she’s off gallivanting in the U.S. she sill managed to bring us this awesome soup!
Favourite Sensible Snack: Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms from Judee @ Gluten-Free A-Z
I know it’s technically an appetizer but these just look so flavourful and easy to whip up, they could easily be a snack!
Favourite Indulgence: Dairy Free Chocolate Orange Ice Cream from Gillian @ Heart Via Stomach
Looks so decadent but is so healthful! Love it!
Now it’s time for Healthy Vegan Friday #9!
My submission for the week:
This is my Healthy Peppermint Mocha made with Cold-Pressed Coffee! I figured since I cheated and brought back coffee into my life (briefly) I would share my lower-acidity version of this delicious beverage!

coconut flour and squash?! Now that’s originality!
That Orange Ice Cream has my mouthwatering!
Right? I don’t actually like oranges but orange and chocolate is just amazing!
Oooh what a round up Gabby! Cant wait to start clicking :) That peppermint mocha sounds deelish – sometimes i wish i liked coffee. When my mom was preggie with me she got violently ill when she had coffee – I guess that was me saying NO way!!! haha
Aww thats so funny! Seems like even as a baby you knew what was good for you! Probably best you don’t like it anyway :)
Thank you for hosting again! This week, I’m submitting my Sunflower Seed Cheddar! Have a fantastic weekend! :-)
Amazing Kristy :) You have a lovely weekend yourself!
That is an awesome list of recipes. It’s hard to know where to begin. I’m hoping to start with some veggie/vegan chili this weekend!
I know, always spoiled for inspiration! Oooh chilli sounds great, especially as we transition into fall!
Excited to see my vegan stuffed mushrooms featured this week. Thanks so much..
Oh of course! Thanks for sharing them :)
Thank you so much, Gabby! I’m super honoured :)
Of course Hannah, it’s so delicious sounding!
wowza.. u have been busy!:) i remember the crazy november/december when i got 2 hours of sleep most days. well i did that to myself by choosing a bad combination of courses for the sem! i dont think i can live without atleast a good 6 hour sleep anymore:)
those single serve choco cakes and the ice cream looks fab. i think i can top the frosting with that ice cream and devour the whole thing!
i am bringing a Banana Chocolate Cake and Besan Ladoos this week.
Oh my goodness! I can’t even fathom getting 2 hours of sleep every night, how did you survive?? I am not quite that busy ;)
Thanks for sharing those recipes Richa, they look amazing, as always!
Yikes, sounds like you’ve been so busy! I hope things are settling down even though it seems like the pace of your courses won’t allow things to really settle down! You are a smartie though, I know you’ll own your courses ;) Best of luck with all of the studying and it seems like you are at least enjoying the experience despite all of the work :)
That coffee drink sounds so amazing! I must must must try it! You know I’m now a total fan of cold brewing :) Have a great weekend!
I think it’s going to settle down a little because I’ve fixed up my work schedule a bit and I think I have a handle on how to approach the school work :) I’ll still be busy, but a little more balanced! Thanks for the vote of confidence too! It’s funny, they told us in school to start playing the role of a nutritionist and I feel like since I started doing that, my confidence has picked up. The power of positive thinking eh?
Cold brewing is amazing- my go-to method for those random days when I treat myself!
That chocolate sundae looks so good! And that mini cake too…(can you tell my sweet tooth is crying out for some love? ;))
Hehe mine too…always ;)
I am submitting my BBQ Veggie and Pineapple Kabob, thanks for hosting again. September has been crazy busy for me too. Will you participate in Vegan MoFo?
Awesome Sarina! I was going to try for MoFo but I don’t think it’s in the cards :( I don’t think I’ll have the time! I can’t wait to see what everyone else does though!
Good luck with everything! I am amazed you still have time to blog. You go girl. Thanks for great list once again this week!
Thanks Alaine! I miss blogging more often, but hopefully I find my groove soon and can get back to it!
Quinoa smoothie? Chocolate orange ice cream?? Peppermint mocha?! Mmmmmm! Another reason to look forward to Fridays!
I know right? Now if only there were 5 of me to make all the recipes…
Don’t worry about being late or anything my friend, the fact that you are balancing both school and blog and life rocks :D
This weeks links are gorgeous but those individual cakes blow me away!
Cheers
CCU
Aww thanks Uru, you are always so sweet!
ah! i hope things calm down for you and you can find a happy balance between school and doing the things you love. having been through many years of school myself i know how hard this can be. but, something i learned the hard way is that balance (even in school) is important. keep me posted!
Thanks Sara, I think I just need to find my groove with it, I’m so not used to studying anymore!
