Smoothies and snacks are a delicious way to get a lot of nutrients with just a few ingredients. Usually, they are quick and easy to make and the necessary ingredients are affordable. Of course, smoothies and snacks are versatile in how they can be prepared, so feel free to add your own (vegan!) ingredients for improved taste or nutrition.

Both the cost per serving and the nutrition facts per serving will exclude optional additions, and they'll take into consideration the first option written in the case of ' x OR y '.

  • 1/2 cup mixed berries (or berry of your choice)

Instructions:

  • In a pot, add your berries and water. Bring your water to a rolling boil.
  • Lower your heat and stir in your oatmeal flakes. Let the mixture simmer until most of the water has been absorbed by the oats, making sure to stir every now and then to avoid the oatmeal from sticking to the pot.

Serving:

Pour your oatmeal into a bowl. For added sweetness, sprinkle some date sugar. You can also add other components, such as seeds, nuts, or other raw fruits.

Pancakes

Pancakes.jpg

Difficulty: 1/5

Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 3 (2 pancakes per serving, 6 pancakes total)

Cost per serving: $1.55 (total cost: $4.65)

Ingredients:

DRY

  • 2 1/2 cups sifted whole-wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup date sugar
  • 2 1/2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

WET

  • 2 cups soy milk (OR any plant-based milk)
  • 1/3 cup soy yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

  • Pre-heat oven to 200°C.
  • In a large bowl, place all of the dry ingredients and stir until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
  • Slowly whisk in the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until you have a consistent batter. Do not over-whisk. Set aside.
  • Create rings using parchment paper on a baking sheet. These will serve as molds for the pancake batter. Note that if not using an oven, you can skip this step and heat up a non-stick skillet.
  • Pour a ladle of batter into a baking sheet lined with paper (or into a skillet if not using an oven) and cook all the way through. Repeat until there is no more batter.

Serving:

On a plate, stack some pancakes. Top with a slice of vegan butter or maple syrup. Drizzle chocolate sauce or a berry coulis, top with fresh mint, and sprinkle date sugar on the plate.

Fries not-fried

Fries not-fried.jpg

Difficulty: 1/5

Time: 1 hour 45 minutes

Servings: 1 big one

Cost: $1.20

Ingredients:

  • 5 medium-sized potatoes with peel (or 2-3 sweet potatoes with peel)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • Cayenne powder (optional)
  • Black pepper (optional)

Instructions:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200°C.
  • Wash the potatoes, and cut them in stick shapes, roughly 0.8-1cm wide, 0.8-1cm deep, and as long as the potato itself. Try to cut them in similar dimensions--they will cook differently from each other if they're too different.
  • In a large bowl, put the potato sticks with the salt, the garlic powder, the paprika, and the cayenne powder (optional, and according to how spicy you want it) on top.
  • Mix the potatoes with your bare hands until evenly coated--alternatively, if you don't want to get your hands dirty, put all the ingredients in a bag and shake repeatedly until evenly coated.
  • Line parchment paper on a baking tray and place the potato sticks evenly on top, trying to not have them overlap too much.
  • Place the tray in the oven. Leave the potato sticks baking for 1.5 hours, flipping midway through.
  • Serve in a plate, and toss them again with some black pepper (optional) and some more salt (optional) to taste.

Serving:

Serve with dip of your choice on the side. Sprinkle some oregano on top for added flavor.
