Home made vegan Ramen🍜 Perfect winter comfort food! Everytime I eat ramen in a restaurant ist super salty and oily so I made my own version. The broth is actually very simple but powerfull. Saute vegetable of your choice in very small amount of sesame oil ( I used red onion, paprika, carrot bit of grated ginger and garlic) then add water and dried shiitake (you have to soak them before in hot water and rinse then after) miso, veg bouillon and soya sauce and slowly cook together. When is almost done add more fresh shiitake mushroom and cook for few more minutes. Place noodles of your choice in the bowl add chopped fresh bok choy and hot soup. Top it with smoked tofu sauted in bit of sesame oil. Smoked tofu is so delicious 😍 Easy right?😁 Quick, healthy, lower in sodium, lower in fat but still full of flavour homemade Ramen. #veganramen #eatclean #eatplants #eattherainbow #smokedtofu #vegandinner #veganlunch #eathealthy #homemaderamen

Simple quick brunch🍴 This is one of mine favourite savory breakfasts. Scrambled tofu with vegetables and mushrooms potatoes and mixed veg salad on side amd avocado for healthy fats. Tofu is super high in protein and contains also magnesium and calcium. #eatherainbow #eatplants #eatclean #tofu #veganbreakfast #scrambletofu #plantbasedbreakfast

If you like soups you should defenitely visit Mooshka they have the best red lentil soup in town. So much flavour. This is proper soul food❤

Eating out doesnt have to be always unhealthy. This was little snack while visiting museum. Pita with black sesame hummus and pickled veg.

A little bit of nostalgia 🙂 My dad used to cook this savoy cabbage soup for me when I lived back home.

Its a perfect autumn meal. Probably the easiest, fastest and cheapest soup you could make, however packed with nutrients.

Its not completely whole foods because I added vegan paprika sausage ( works great. No partnership just personal preference :-) but that is optional. I am sure you can also replace sausage with different veg to keep it whole foods.

Kale, collards, and arugula are some examples of the various kinds of dark-green leafy vegetables. Dark green leafy vegetables are packed with lutein, which is a brain antioxidant. Lutein is a major carotenoid concentrated in the brain and also the eyes. The retina, the back of our eyeball, is actually “an extension of” our central nervous system—an outpouching of the brain during development, and right in the middle there’s a spot. This is what the doctor sees when they look into your eye with that bright light. That spot, called the macula, is our HD camera, where you get the highest resolution vision, and it’s packed with lutein. And indeed, levels or lutein in the retina correspond to levels in the rest of your brain, so your eyes can be a window into your brain. Significant correlations exist between the amount of macular pigment—these plant pigments like lutein in your eye—and cognitive test scores. Increasing greens, such as kale, in our diet can be a beneficial way to improve (and maintain) the health of our brain and eyes. The egg industry likes to boast about how much lutein eggs have; however, 1 hardboiled egg has only 0.2 mg. The real superstars are greens! A ½ cup of cooked kale has 10.3 mg of lutein, 1/2 cup of cooked spinach has 6.7 mg, and 1/2 cup of cooked broccoli has 1.7 mg.

Greens are a great source of Vitamin K and this can interfere with the how warfarin works in the body. #DailyDozen #dailydozenrecipe #HowNotToDie #eatyourgreens #FruitsAndVeggies #plantbasednutrition #plantbased #eatmoreplants #NutritionFactsOrg #wfpb #fruitandveggies #healthyeating #wholefoods #brainhealth #eyehealth #kaleyeah #collardgreens #argula

Researchers had people eat a bag of frozen kale and cabbage a day for just two weeks—which is great because you can just keep it in the freezer, pre-washed, pre-chopped, and just throw it in any meal you are making—and people had a significant reduction for total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and even blood sugar levels. And, the antioxidant capacity of their blood went up. Kale is a best-of-all-worlds food, low in calories and packed to the hilt with nutrition—vitamins, minerals, anti-inflammatory compounds, antioxidant phytonutrients—you name it.
