BEAR'S ULTRA-VEGAN MEAL REPLACEMENT MIDNIGHT BOOTY CALL 3

BEAR'S ULTRA-VEGAN MEAL REPLACEMENTMIDNIGHT BOOTY CALL 3

Good gosh! I managed to miss my main meal last night! Yeah, I visited Central London during the day and walked around until it got late - really late! I love walking and I get carried away when in Central London as there's so much to see!

By the time I got back, it was too late to make something substantial to eat. So, I had to make something that wasn't going to be too heavy yet fulfilling!

I wanted to improve upon my meal replacement formula that I've dubbed “Midnight Booty Call”. Why? Okay… I think it's essential to have a good amount of roughage/fiber in every meal. A lot of Vegan based processed foods that could be microwaved for convenience does not contain much by the way of fiber. The main ingredient in my meal replacement is dried fibrous fruit such as prunes and figs. I could also use dates and (unsulphured) apricots too!

And, of course, by the time I realize that I'm hungry, it's midnight or later!

Here are the ingredients for the dish as pictured above…

INGREDIENTS

1 Prunes​ in juice can, 200g. You could use dry prunes and add a good prune juice from a reputed source; I must look into this deeper.

1 Chestnut packet

1 cup of oat bran

Half a cup of desiccated coconut

1 cup of prune juice

A couple of splashes of vanilla essence

Half a tablespoon of cinnamon

Half a tablespoon of cocoa powder

A cup of coconut yogurt

For decoration: desiccated coconut, Morello cherries, a single chestnut, coconut yogurt, and cinnamon.

THE METHODOLOGY

You're going to need a decent liquidizer/blender.

Empty the prune can into the liquidizer jug, followed by the cup of oat bran, desiccated coconut, chestnuts​, coconut yogurt, vanilla essence and cocoa powder. Now add the cup of prune juice. You might need to add more juice to get the liquidizing blades moving as the mixture can become too thick to blend.

Use the pulse setting to break up the solids gently. Once the chestnuts start to break up use settings 1 and 2 to create a texture that looks like a cross between a mousse and smoothie. Once you've got that texture, it's done!

Pour into a bowl and then decorate - if you wish!

RESULT

The above is the result that is very, very satisfying to taste and is pretty light. I had this Midnight Booty Call whilst watching a movie, as you might do on a Saturday night. Perfect!

If this doesn't move you, nothing will! Ha ha!

Thanks for reading and following my recipes!

Love,
