#happytoasttuesday
to you, friends.
Does the date paste look a little unappealing?
Yes.
But the taste is so OUTTA THIS WORLD that you need to just SUCK IT UP AND TRY THIS DAMN THING. ❤ That is, if you’ve got a sweet tooth like me. 🙂 ***tbh even if you’re not, you should still try it.
Foodie life update: I’ve been vegan for 2 weeks and 2 days now! Yay success! It literally hasn’t been hard at all, especially since I’m living back in California again. But even so, the first edition of Forks Over Knive’s magazine I got in January has been pulling through with the budget friendly, easy to shop for recipes 🙂
So major shout out to them.
FOREWARNING: the date paste requires OVERNIGHT SOAKING. So you best be prepared to do that.
Now, onto it! Your taste buds will thank me.
DATE PASTE:
WHAT YOU NEED:
- 4 cups of pitted dates
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
- Pour boiling water over dates and let soak in an air tight container for 3-8 hours.
- Pour contents into a blender and pulse away! Store in air tight container in the fridge.
TOAST:
WHAT YOU NEED:
- 2 pieces sprouted whole grain Ezekiel bread
- 1/2 ripe banana
- 4 dried figs (I like Trader Joe’s b/c they don’t contain any other ingredients like preservatives, added sugars, weird chemicals, etc. Legit JUST the dried figs)
- Trader Joe’s mixed nut butter (this sh*! is forreal. It contains almonds, cashew nuts, walnuts, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, and sea salt)
- Sum o dat sweet date paste, fam
- Cinnamon
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
- Toast the bread (duh). Spread a generous layer of the mixed nut butter onto the toast. Add slices banana, sliced figs, apply date paste in a failed attempt to be neat like above, sprinkle cinnamon, and enjoy! 🙂 ❤
Goes great with a cup of TJ’s dark roast coffee.
